2 Chronicles 14:12 In-Context

10 Asa went out to fight him, and the forces were arranged for battle in the Tz'fat Valley at Mareshah.

11 Asa cried out to ADONAI his God, "ADONAI, there is no one besides yourself, strong or weak, who can help. Help us, ADONAI our God, because we are relying on you, and we are coming against this vast throng in your name. You are ADONAI our God; don't let human beings stop you!"

12 So ADONAI struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Y'hudah, and the Ethiopians fled.

13 Asa and the army with him pursued them to G'rar, and the Ethiopians were defeated beyond recovery; they were shattered before ADONAI and his army, who carried off much spoil.

14 Then they attacked all the cities in the vicinity of G'rar, for a panic from ADONAI had overcome them. They plundered all the cities, for they were full of spoil.
