The saying "My enemy's enemy is my ally" seems to be what motivated the rulers of Edom, Moab, and Ammon to join together in a battle against Judah. Yet that alliance was no match for the work of God on their corrupt and rebellious spirits. When the people of faith were approaching the battle line they began to sing of God's greatness. In response God destroyed the alliance among Edom, Moab, and Ammon. I wonder how the fight started? Was it three generals arguing over who would lead the charge? Were some proud warriors bragging about who would gather the most spoils? Regardless of the trigger God turned the sinful pride of the kingdoms' armies into a weapon of self destruction. And through that act of providence God gave Judah a great vIctory.
