2 Chronicles 14:9-15

9Now ZerahH2226 the EthiopianH3569 1wentH3318 outH3318 againstH413 them with an armyH2428 of a millionH505 men and threeH7969 hundredH3967 chariotsH4818, and he cameH935 to 2MareshahH4762.

10So AsaH609 wentH3318 outH3318 3to meetH6440 him, and they drewH6186 upH6186 in battleH4421 formationH6186 in the ValleyH1516 of ZephathahH6859 at MareshahH4762.

11Then AsaH609 4calledH7121 to the LordH3068 his GodH430 and saidH559, “LordH3068, thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 besidesH5973 You to helpH5826 in the battle betweenH996 the powerfulH7227 and those who haveH369 noH369 strengthH3581; helpH5826 us, LordH3068 our GodH430, 5for we trustH8172 in You, and in Your nameH8034 have comeH935 againstH5921 thisH2088 multitudeH1995. LordH3068, You are our GodH430; do not let manH582 prevailH6113 againstH5973 You.”

12So 6the LordH3068 7routedH5062 the EthiopiansH3569 beforeH6440 AsaH609 and beforeH6440 JudahH3063, and the EthiopiansH3569 fledH5127.

13AsaH609 and the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him pursuedH7291 them as farH5704 as 8GerarH1642; and so many EthiopiansH3569 fellH5307 that 9they could not recoverH4241, for they were shatteredH7665 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and beforeH6440 His armyH4264. And they carriedH5375 away a veryH3966 largeH7235 amount of plunderH7998.

14They 10destroyedH5221 allH3605 the citiesH5892 aroundH5439 GerarH1642, 11for the dreadH6343 of the LordH3068 had fallenH1961 on them; and they pillagedH962 allH3605 the citiesH5892, for there was muchH7227 plunderH961 in them.

15They alsoH1571 fatallyH5221 struckH5221 12those who ownedH168 livestockH4735, and they ledH7617 awayH7617 largeH7230 numbersH7230 of sheepH6629 and camelsH1581. Then they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
