Down in Samaria visiting the king of Israel. He wants to take Ramoth-gilead back from Aram and asked if I’d come. I said I’m with you: my people are your people, my horses are your horses. But ask the LORD first.

We don’t know what to do. Our eyes are on you.
Son of Asa, king of Judah for twenty-five years. I sent teachers round every town with the Book of the Law and put judges in every city. I also made alliances with the kings of Israel that I shouldn’t have. When three armies came at us, I put the singers in front.

I did tell him a king shouldn’t say that.

Aram’s chariot commanders came straight for me. They’d been told to fight no one but the king of Israel. I cried out, and they saw I wasn’t him and turned back.
Thinking about Ramoth-gilead. When I cried out, it was the LORD who helped me. God drew them away from me.

You’re not judging for people but for the LORD, and he’s with you when you give judgement. With the LORD our God there’s no injustice, no favourites, no bribes.
Our God, won’t you judge them? We have no power against this huge army coming at us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.
Listen, Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God and you’ll stand firm. Believe his prophets and you’ll succeed.
