2 Chronicles 20:7

7 You, our God, drove out those living in the land ahead of your people Isra'el and gave it forever to the descendants of Avraham your friend.

2 Chronicles 20:7 In-Context

5 Standing in front of the new courtyard in the house of ADONAI, among those assembled from Y'hudah and Yerushalayim,
6 he said: "ADONAI, God of our ancestors, you alone are God in heaven. You rule all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and strength, so that no one can withstand you.
7 You, our God, drove out those living in the land ahead of your people Isra'el and gave it forever to the descendants of Avraham your friend.
8 They lived in it, built you a sanctuary in it for your name, and said,
9 'If calamity strikes us, such as war, judgment, disease or famine, we will stand before this house - that is, before you, since your name is in this house - and cry to you in our distress; and you will hear us and rescue us.'
