Ethiopian Invasion Repulsed
9 Zerah the Cushite came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots and came as far as Mareshah.(A) 10 Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 Asa cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is no difference for you between helping the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let no mortal prevail against you.”(B) 12 So the Lord defeated the Cushites before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushites fled.(C) 13 Asa and the army with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Cushites fell until no one remained alive, for they were broken before the Lord and his army. The people of Judah[a] carried away a great quantity of spoil.(D) 14 They defeated all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the Lord was on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.(E) 15 They also attacked the tents of those who had livestock[b] and carried away sheep and goats in abundance and camels.
