The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir
The Ammonites and Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and often found themselves in conflict with Israel. Mount Seir was the region inhabited by the Edomites, descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. This internal conflict among these groups highlights the longstanding tensions between the descendants of Abraham and Lot. The rising up against Mount Seir can be seen as a fulfillment of divine judgment, as the Edomites had historically opposed Israel (seeObadiah 1:10-14). This event also demonstrates God's sovereignty in using the enemies of Israel to bring about His purposes.

devoting them to destruction
The phrase "devoting them to destruction" is reminiscent of the Hebrew concept of "herem," which means to devote something to God by completely destroying it. This was often commanded by God in the context of holy war, as seen in the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 6:17). The destruction of the inhabitants of Mount Seir by their allies can be seen as a divine act of judgment, where God uses the enemies of His people to execute His justice.

And when they had finished off the inhabitants of Seir
The complete destruction of the inhabitants of Seir signifies the thoroughness of the judgment executed. This phrase underscores the totality of the defeat, leaving no survivors, which is a common theme in biblical narratives where God intervenes on behalf of His people. The historical enmity between Edom and Israel (Numbers 20:14-21) is resolved through divine intervention, showcasing God's ability to protect and deliver His people from their adversaries.

they helped to destroy one another
This self-destruction among the enemies of Israel is a recurring biblical motif, where God causes confusion among opposing forces (Judges 7:22,1 Samuel 14:20). It serves as a testament to God's power to save His people without them having to engage in battle. This miraculous deliverance prefigures the ultimate victory of Christ over sin and death, where the forces of evil are defeated through divine intervention rather than human effort. The self-destruction of these nations also foreshadows the eventual downfall of all who oppose God's kingdom.

Power of Worship and Prayer
The people of Judah worshiped and prayed before the battle, demonstrating that spiritual preparation is crucial in facing life's challenges.

God's Deliverance
God can deliver His people in unexpected ways. The confusion among the enemies shows that God's methods are beyond human understanding.

The unity of Judah in seeking God contrasts with the disunity and self-destruction of their enemies, emphasizing the strength found in communal faith.

Divine Justice
The self-destruction of the enemies serves as a reminder of God's justice and the futility of opposing His will.

What Does 2 Chronicles 20:23 Mean
The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir

• “The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir” records God turning Judah’s enemies against each other.

• This fulfills the promise of verse 22, where “the LORD set ambushes” without Judah lifting a sword.

• Similar divine interventions appear inJudges 7:22 and1 Samuel 14:20, where enemy armies collapse in self-inflicted chaos.

• God’s sovereignty over nations is underscored inProverbs 21:1; He directs even hostile coalitions to serve His purposes for His people.

Devoting them to destruction

• The phrase echoes the concept of total judgment found inDeuteronomy 20:17 andJoshua 6:21.

• The Mount Seirites (Edomites) had a long history of hostility toward Israel (Obadiah 10). Their downfall illustratesGenesis 12:3—those who curse God’s people come under His curse.

• God’s justice is thorough; nothing is left half-done when He acts (Psalm 9:15-16).

And when they had finished off the inhabitants of Seir

• The annihilation of Seir shows that God’s plan moved step by step until every threat was removed (Exodus 14:13-14;2 Chronicles 20:10-11).

• It also highlights the futility of resisting God’s covenant people—opposition ultimately consumes itself (Psalm 37:14-15).

They helped to destroy one another

• The remaining coalition turned on itself, completing Judah’s victory without Judah’s involvement (Zechariah 14:13;Isaiah 19:2).

• The scene underscores2 Chronicles 20:17: “You need not fight in this battle.”

• God’s people often witness deliverance rather than accomplish it, so He alone receives glory (2 Corinthians 4:7).

summary

2 Chronicles 20:23 shows God orchestrating the collapse of Judah’s enemies through mutual destruction. He redirected hostile forces (Ammon, Moab, Seir) against each other, fully eliminating the threat while Judah stood still in faith. The verse teaches that God defends His people, carries out complete justice, and turns opposition into self-destruction, calling believers to trust His sovereign power rather than human strength.

(23)Stood up against.--'Amad 'al, a late usage. (So1Chronicles 21:1.)

Utterly to slay.--To exterminate (hacharim), devote to destruction.

Made an end of.--Finished with. (See on2Chronicles 20:22, "begin with," and compareGenesis 44:12.)

Every one helped. . .another.--Literally,they helped, each against (or,in the case of) his fellow, for destruction (mashchith,2Chronicles 22:4;Ezekiel 5:16). . . .

Verse 23. -This verse proceeds to explain how this resulted in a kind of triangular duel on large scale.
