The Historic Pea Patch Battle | Bible Bite

It sounds like kids' stuff—a fight in a pea patch. But it wasn't just a fight in the pea patch; it was a fight over the pea patch. Still, it doesn't sound like one of those 'mother of all battles' or a confrontation of epic proportions. And yet, when all was said and done, it was rated, years later, as a great victory.

We don't know how big the pea patch was, but we know it was loaded with lentils—something like peas! The harvest would provide food for the locals living in Lehi. There was a threat, however, as there always is. The Philistines were in the area, and they had a long track record of actively opposing and fighting against the people of God, threatening them and warring against them. A rather infamous giant still talked about today was a Philistine.
