2 Chronicles 14:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:10

Then Asa went out against him
Notwithstanding he brought so great an army with him:

and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at
Mareshah;
where the Ethiopians were; he did not stay till they got further into his country, but marched against them when on the frontiers of it, and chose the valley to pitch in, as being more to the advantage of his smaller army; see ( Judges 1:17 ) .

2 Chronicles 14:10 In-Context

8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, armed with bucklers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand men from Benjamin, that carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

9 Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and came as far as Mare'shah.

10 And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the valley of Zeph'athah at Mare'shah.

11 And Asa cried to the LORD his God, "O LORD, there is none like thee to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee."

12 So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.
