1Ki 20:28 Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’ ”
Ben-hadad king of Aram had previously attacked Samaria accompanied by thirty two kings and their chariots and had been defeated by king Ahab of Israel. But the officials of Aram advised the king that ” the gods of Israel were gods of the hills ” and that’s why they had been defeated(1ki 20:23). They proposed that if they engaged Israel in the plains they would win.
For seven days they camped opposite each other and on the seventh day the battle was joined. The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers on one day. The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek where a wall collapsed on twenty seven thousand of them. Ben-hadad hid himself in an inner room.
Christian friends , our God is omnipresent. He is the God of the mountains and valleys. He is always present everywhere. We are never alone because he is always with us. We will still defeat our enemies even when they change the tactics and the ground.
