How do we know that God was involved with Joash's victory?

Answered in 1 source

God's involvement is shown when Elisha laid his hands on Joash's hands while he shot the arrow, symbolizing divine support.

The passage in 2 Kings 13 illustrates that God was actively involved in Israel's fate through the prophet Elisha. When Joash shot the arrow as commanded by Elisha, the prophet placed his hands on the king's hands, demonstrating that any victory over Syria would be orchestrated by God's power. Elisha's actions not only affirmed God's promise of deliverance but also reminded Joash that success came not from military might alone but from reliance on God. This event serves as a reminder to believers today that ultimate victory is through divine intervention and support, rather than our own strength.
