⁹ And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.

⁸ Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.

⁴⁴ And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine towns with their unwalled places.

⁸ And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph

² Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

³ With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.

⁹ And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, he sent representatives to Hezekiah again, saying,

⁹ Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:

¹⁰ Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

⁵ Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.

¹⁵ Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.

¹⁴ For they are evil spirits, working signs; who go out even to the kings of all the earth, to get them together to the war of the great day of God, the Ruler of all.
