2 Tawarikh 14:11

14:11 Asa prayed ¹  to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. ²  Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. ³  O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” ⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 20:12

20:12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless against this huge army that attacks us! We don’t know what we should do; we look to you for help.” ⁵ 

2 Tawarikh 20:15-17

20:15 He said: “Pay attention, all you people of Judah, ⁶  residents of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Don’t be afraid and don’t panic ⁷  because of this huge army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 20:16 Tomorrow march down against them as ⁸  they come up the Ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the ravine in front of the Desert of Jeruel. 20:17 You will not fight in this battle. Take your positions, stand, and watch the Lord deliver you, ⁹  O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ¹⁰  Tomorrow march out toward them; the Lord is with you!’”

[14:11]  ¹ tn Heb “called out.”

[14:11]  ² tn Heb “there is not with you to help between many with regard to [the one] without strength.”

[14:11]  ³ tn Heb “and in your name we have come against this multitude.”

[14:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “let not man retain [strength] with you.”

[20:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “for [or “indeed”] upon you are our eyes.”

[20:15]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

[20:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “look.”

[20:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “the deliverance of the Lord with you.”

[20:17]  ¹⁰ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
