2 Tawarikh 13:12

13:12 Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. ¹  You Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors, ²  for you will not win!”

2 Tawarikh 14:11

14:11 Asa prayed ³  to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. ⁴  Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. ⁵  O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” ⁶ 

2 Tawarikh 20:15

20:15 He said: “Pay attention, all you people of Judah, ⁷  residents of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Don’t be afraid and don’t panic ⁸  because of this huge army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s.

[13:12]  ¹ tn Heb “and his priests and the trumpets of the war alarm [are ready] to sound out against you.”

[13:12]  ² tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 18).

[14:11]  ³ tn Heb “called out.”

[14:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “there is not with you to help between many with regard to [the one] without strength.”

[14:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “and in your name we have come against this multitude.”

[14:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “let not man retain [strength] with you.”

[20:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.

[20:15]  ⁸ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
