10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God and said, "LORD, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many or with those who have no power. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, Thou art our God. Let not man prevail against Thee."

13 And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown so that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before the LORD and before His host; and they carried away very much spoil.

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they despoiled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
