Teks -- 2 Chronicles 14:11 (NET)

14:11 Asa prayed to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!”

Wesley: 2Ch 14:11 - Let not man prevail

If he prevails against us, he prevails, as it were, against thee; because thou art our God. And we rest on thee, and go forth in thy name, which thou hast encouraged us to do.

JFB: 2Ch 14:11-13 - Asa cried unto the Lord his God

Strong in the confidence that the power of God was able to give the victory equally with few as with many, the pious king marched with a comparatively small force to encounter the formidable host of marauders at his southern frontier. Committing his cause to God, he engaged in the conflict--completely routed the enemy, and succeeded in obtaining, as the reward of his victory, a rich booty in treasure and cattle from the tents of this pastoral horde.

Clarke: 2Ch 14:11 - Whether with many

Poole: 2Ch 14:11 - It is nothing with thee

It is nothing with thee i.e. there is no difference, nor no difficulty, with thee. In thy name ; by thy commission, in confidence of thy assistance, and for the maintenance of thy honour, and service, and people.

Haydock: 2Ch 14:11 - Help // If God be with us, who is against us?

Help. Hebrew, "to help; whether with many, or with those who have no power." The same sentiment was expressed by Jonathas, 1 Kings xiv. 6. Those who have God with them are secure of victory. (Calmet) ---

If God be with us, who is against us?

Gill: 2Ch 14:11 - And Asa cried unto the Lord his God // and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help // whether with many, or with them that 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

And Asa cried unto the Lord his God,.... Or prayed, as the Targum, with vehemence, being in distress; this he did before the battle began, at the head of his army, and for the encouragement of it:

and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help; nothing can hinder from helping, his power being superior to all others, and even infinite, and none besides him could:

whether with many, or with them that have no power; numbers make no difference with him, nor the condition they are in; whether numerous and mighty, or few and feeble; he can as easily help the one as the other, see 1Sa 14:6,

help us, O Lord our God; who are few and weak in comparison of the enemy:

for we rest on thee; trust in thee, and rely upon thee for help; the Targum is,"on thy Word we lean:"

and in thy name we go against this multitude; expressing faith in him, expecting help from him, encouraging and strengthening themselves in him, going forth not in their own name and strength, but in his; the Targum is,"in the name of the Word of the Lord:"

O Lord, thou art our God: and thou only we know, and serve no other, and we are thy people, called by thy name:

let not man prevail against thee; for should this enemy prevail against them, it would be interpreted prevailing against their God.
