2 Chronicles 14:8-14

14:8 Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah, equipped with large shields and spears. He also had 280,000 men from Benjamin who carried small shields and were adept archers; they were all skilled warriors. 14:9 Zerah the Cushite marched against them with an army of 1,000,000 ⁷  men and 300 chariots. He arrived at Mareshah, 14:10 and Asa went out to oppose him. They deployed for battle in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.

14:11 Asa prayed ⁸  to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. ⁹  Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. ¹⁰  O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” ¹¹  14:12 The Lord struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, 14:13 and Asa and his army chased them as far as Gerar. The Cushites were wiped out; ¹²  they were shattered before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah ¹³  carried off a huge amount of plunder. 14:14 They defeated all the cities surrounding Gerar, for the Lord caused them to panic. ¹⁴  The men of Judah ¹⁵  looted all the cities, for they contained a huge amount of goods. ¹⁶
