2 Chronicles 14:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ And there came out against him Zerah [a]of Ethiopia with an host of ten hundred thousand, and three hundred chariots, and came unto [b]Mareshah.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah, beside Mareshah.
11 And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, (A)it is nothing with thee to help [c]with many, or with no power: help us, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God: [d]let not man prevail against thee.
