Exegesis
The preposition im {עִם | ʿim}, rendered ‘against,’ conveys adversarial engagement with oyvei Yisrael {אוֹיְבֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | ʾō-yĕ-vē Yiś-rā-ʾēl}. This structure ties the result of widespread fear to the cause of divine victory.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:29
And the fear of God was upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
