The Lord had caused the soldiers of Aram to hear a noise. It sounded like chariots and horses and a huge army. So the soldiers spoke to one another. They said, "Listen! The king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings. He has paid them to attack us!"

Verse Explanation
The Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army. Believing that Israel had hired foreign armies against them, the Arameans fled in fear and abandoned everything behind. God defeats Israel's enemy without Israel's army needing to fight.
History
The fear created by God recalls earlier biblical examples where enemies were defeated through divine intervention.
