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 Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Yehudah three hundred thousand; and out of Binyamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

9 There came out against them Zerach the Kushite with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.

10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Tzefatah at Mareshah.

11 Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength: help us, LORD our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. LORD, you are our God; don't let man prevail against you.

12 So the LORD struck the Kushim before Asa, and before Yehudah; and the Kushim fled.
