42. And Jehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43. So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.
44. And the Amorites, that dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45. And ye returned and wept before Jehovah; but Jehovah hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
46. So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
