2 CHRONICLES 16:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand.”
'Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, he gave them into your hand — Hanani recalled the Ethiopic victory (הֲלֹא־הַכּוּשִׁים וְהַלּוּבִּים הָיוּ לְחַיִל רַב מְאוֹד עִם־מַרְכָּבוֹת וּפָרָשִׁים הַרְבֵּה־מְאוֹד): Asa had previously relied on God and prevailed (וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיָדְךָ). The contrast: trust produced victory then; now, trust in politicians replaced trust in God.
