2 Chronicles 14:12 In-Context

10 Asa went out to meet Zerah in battle. They took up their positions in the Valley of Zephathah. It's near Mareshah.

11 Then Asa called out to the LORD his God. He said, "Lord, there isn't anyone like you. You help the weak against the strong. LORD our God, help us. We trust in you. In your name we have come out to fight against this huge army. Lord, you are our God. Don't let mere men win the battle over you."

12 The LORD struck down the men of Cush for Asa and Judah. The Cushites ran away.

13 Asa and his army chased them all the way to Gerar. A large number of Cushites fell down wounded or dead. So they couldn't fight back. The LORD and his army crushed them. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of goods.

14 They attacked all of the villages around Gerar. The LORD had made the people in those villages afraid of him. The men of Judah took everything from all of the villages.
