2 Chronicles 35:21

I come not against thee, but against the house wherewith I have war Against the house of the king of Assyria, between whom and me there is war. For God commanded me to make haste Therefore, give me no hinderance. Some think he only pretended this, because he knew Josiah had a great reverence for God, and in obedience to him might desist from his purpose. And the Targum, with some of the Jews, thinks he called his own idol by the name of God; though Kimchi thinks, and the event makes it most probable, that he spoke of the true God, who perhaps admonished him in a dream, as he did Abimelech, or sent him a message to go against the Assyrians by the Prophet Jeremiah, many of whose prophecies are directed to foreign nations. Forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, &c. It is at thy peril if thou engage against one who has both a better army, and a better cause, and God on his side.
