Deuteronomy 1:41-45

41Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Yhwh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yhwh our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

42And Yhwh said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.1

44And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

45And ye returned and wept before Yhwh; But Yhwh would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
