2 Chronicles 14:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 Asa prayed:
Lord God, only you can help a powerless army defeat a stronger one. So we depend on you to help us. We will fight against this powerful army to honor your name, and we know that you won't be defeated. You are the Lord our God.
12 The Lord helped Asa and his army defeat the Ethiopians. The enemy soldiers ran away, 13 but Asa and his troops chased them as far as Gerar. It was a total defeat—the Ethiopians could not even fight back![a]
The soldiers from Judah took everything that had belonged to the Ethiopians.

New International Version
11 Then Asa called(A) to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us,(B) Lord our God, for we rely(C) on you, and in your name(D) we have come against this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail(E) against you.”
12 The Lord struck down(F) the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, 13 and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar.(G) Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed(H) before the Lord and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder.(I)
