1 Kings 20:23

20:23 Now the advisers ¹  of the king of Syria said to him: “Their God is a god of the mountains. That’s why they overpowered us. But if we fight them in the plains, we will certainly overpower them.

1 Kings 20:28

20:28 The prophet ²  visited the king of Israel and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Syrians said, “The Lord is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys,” I will hand over to you this entire huge army. ³  Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Micah 6:5

6:5 My people, recall how King Balak of Moab planned to harm you, ⁴ 

how Balaam son of Beor responded to him.

Recall how you journeyed from Shittim to Gilgal,

so you might acknowledge that the Lord has treated you fairly.” ⁵ 

[20:23]  ¹ tn Or “servants.”

[20:28]  ² tn Heb “the man of God.”

[20:28]  ³ tn Heb “I will place all this great horde in your hand.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “remember what Balak…planned.”

[6:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “From Shittim to Gilgal, in order to know the just acts of the Lord.” Something appears to be missing at the beginning of the line. The present translation supplies the words, “Recall how you went.” This apparently refers to how Israel crossed the Jordan River (see Josh 3:1; 4:19-24).
