8. Zerah the Ethiopian advanced against them with a force of one million men and three hundred chariots, and he came as far as Mareshah.
9. Asa went out to meet him and they drew up for battle in the valley of Zephathah, near Mareshah.
10. Asa called upon the Lord, his God: “Lord, there is none like you to help the powerless against the strong. Help us, Lord, our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. You are the Lord, our God; do not let men prevail against you.”
11. And so the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.
