⁸ Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because you did rely on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.

³ with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

¹⁶ The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

¹⁸ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Yahweh, the God of their fathers.

⁹ There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.

¹⁰ Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

¹¹ Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, Yahweh, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength: help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God; don't let man prevail against you.

¹² So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

⁷ At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.

⁹ Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.

¹⁰ Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

³⁹ But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰ Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him.
