2 Chronicles 14

8–11 Then Zerah the Cushite, leading a huge Egyptian army,⁵ invaded Judah; his forces greatly outnumbered those of Asa. So Asa called upon the Lord for help in overcoming the vast army of the enemy. Asa’s words in verse 11 can serve as a model prayer for all believers who, in the Lord’s name, struggle to overcome adversity. If our struggle is truly in His name—for His sake and in His will—then He will come to our aid and no man will prevail against Him.

12–15 In answer to Asa’s prayer, the Lord struck down the Cushites and they fled (verse 12). They were crushed before the Lord and his forces; the Lord’s “forces” were the men of Judah (verse 13)—as well as angelic forces, who struck terror into the hearts of the enemy (verse 14).
