Throughout the Old Testament, there are instances where God commands or encourages His people to engage in warfare, often as a means of judgment against nations or to fulfill His promises to Israel. Divine Command and Judgment One of the clearest examples of war being encouraged by God is found in the conquest of Canaan. The Israelites, under the leadership of Joshua, were commanded to take possession of the land promised to them by God. In <a href="/deuteronomy/20-16.htm">Deuteronomy 20:16-17</a> , God instructs the Israelites, "However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes. You must completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you." This directive was part of God's judgment against the Canaanite nations for their iniquities and to prevent Israel from being led astray by their practices. Protection and Deliverance War is also encouraged in the context of protecting God's people and delivering them from oppression. In the book of Judges, God raises up leaders to deliver Israel from the hands of their enemies. For instance, in <a href="/judges/6-14.htm">Judges 6:14</a> , the LORD says to Gideon, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?" Here, God empowers Gideon to lead Israel in battle against the Midianites, demonstrating His support for warfare as a means of deliverance. Fulfillment of Promises The encouragement of war is also seen in the context of fulfilling God's promises to His people. In <a href="/1_samuel/15-2.htm">1 Samuel 15:2-3</a> , God commands Saul, "This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to the Israelites when they opposed them along the way as they came up from Egypt. Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them.'" This command is rooted in God's promise to bring justice against the Amalekites for their past actions against Israel. Divine Strategy and Victory In some instances, God provides specific strategies for warfare, ensuring victory for His people. In <a href="/2_samuel/5-23.htm">2 Samuel 5:23-25</a> , when David inquires of the LORD about attacking the Philistines, God instructs him, "Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." This passage highlights God's active role in guiding His people to victory in battle. Conclusion Throughout the Old Testament, war is depicted as a tool used by God to accomplish His purposes, whether it be judgment, protection, deliverance, or the fulfillment of promises. These instances reflect the belief that God is sovereign over all nations and uses warfare as part of His divine plan.<a name="nav" id="nav"></a><div class="vheading2">Nave's Topical Index</div><a href="/context/isaiah/41-11.htm">Isaiah 41:11,12</a> Behold, all they that were incensed against you shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with you shall perish.
