Text: 2 Chronicles 20:20-21
OT Text Referred to: Isaiah 7:9
Subject: Jehoshaphat calls for faith and appoints lay singers
Source: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): None
Significance: Jehoshaphat's exhortation "Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe His prophets, and you will succeed" (ha'aminu ba-YHWH Eloheikhem vete'amenu, 2 Chr 20:20) echoes Isaiah 7:9's wordplay on the root 'aman: "If you do not stand firm in faith, you will not stand at all" (im lo ta'aminu ki lo te'amenu). Both texts create deliberate paronomasia on the root 'aman ("believe/be established"), linking faith to security. Jehoshaphat applies Isaiah's theology of faith to the specific military crisis, and the result—victory through worship rather than combat—validates the principle that trusting God's word brings divine deliverance.
