1 Chronicles 5:20-22
New English Translation
20 They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him.[a] 21 They seized the Hagrites’[b] animals, including 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took captive 100,000 people. 22 Because God fought for them,[c] they killed many of the enemy.[d] They dispossessed the Hagrites and lived in their land until the exile.[e]
