Jahaziel

Jahaziel was a Levite who delivered a divine message. He was one of five men named Jahaziel mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The other four were simply mentioned in passing as priests or warriors, but Jahaziel was credited with delivering an important message from God. The story of Jahaziel's message is found in 2 Chronicles 20. The Israelites were about to go to war with the Moabites, Ammonites, and Edomites. King Jehoshaphat was afraid, so he asked the Lord for help. Jahaziel, a Levite, stood up and said, "Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! The Lord says, 'Do not be afraid of this great army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.'" Jehoshaphat and the people were encouraged by Jahaziel's message. They went out to fight the enemy, and the Lord helped them to win. The Israelites killed 100,000 men from the enemy army, and the rest fled. Jahaziel's message was a reminder that God is always with us and that He will help us if we trust in Him.
