Selected passage

14:10Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

14:11And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

14:12So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

14:13And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

14:14And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the Lord came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

14:15They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
