You have feared a sword; so I will bring a sword upon you" the Lord GOD declares.In my life, I usually make my biggest mistakes when I'm afraid of something happening. I try to figure out how to avoid it, and usually make the wrong choice. That leads me either to the very thing I was afraid of, or something worse in the long run.
It appears the Jews were making the same mistake. They were afraid of being conquered and killed, and therefore turned to other nations for help, or to gods that they thought could aid them. They were wrong, and therefore God brought upon them the thing they'd sinned trying to avoid.
