8. Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
9. Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
10. Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11. Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Lord our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Lord, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”
12. So the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
