WARS OF THE LORD, BOOK OF THE

A work attested only in Num. 21:14-15, likely containing poems or songs celebrating victories over enemies. The title, which according to targumic tradition probably served as the opening phrase of the first poem, attributes wars, and hence celebrated victories, to the Lord. Num. 21:14-15 quotes this book in describing the boundaries of Moab. Closely following in Num. 21:17-18, 27-30 are two songs which may also have been part of the collection.

This obscure source stands among other unavailable works attested in the OT: the Book of Jashar (Josh. 10:13; 2 Sam. 1:18), the Book of the Deeds of Solomon (1 Kgs. 11:41), the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel (14:19) and Judah (14:29), and various annals (Ezra 4:15; Esth. 2:23; 6:1).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
