9<\/strong>. against them<\/em> ] We should expect either against him<\/em> (i.e. Asa) or against Judah<\/em>. Perhaps this account has been torn out from some older document without regard to the context, so that the reference of them<\/em> is lost. Cp. notes on 2Ch 14:12-14<\/span>.<\/p>\n Zerah the Ethiopian<\/em> ] Rather, Zerah the Cushite<\/strong> (“man of Cush”). Gush (Gen 10:7<\/span>) was the ancestor of certain Arabian tribes (including Saba), and Arabians and Cushites (“Ethiopians” A.V., also R.V.) are mentioned as neighbours (2Ch 21:16<\/span>). It is therefore not improbable that the leader of the inroad was an Arabian (Sabean) and not an Ethiopian. Zerah<\/em> perhaps represents Dhirrh<\/em> ( Zirrh<\/em>), a title (meaning “the magnificent”) of several of the oldest princes of Saba.<\/p>\n a thousand thousand<\/em> ] This was an inroad of the “children of the East” who were formidable from sheer weight of numbers. We may gather from 2Ch 16:8<\/span> that the original invaders, starting from South Arabia, were joined by other hordes as they drew near the border of Judah. The number a thousand thousand<\/em> is probably meant to signify that the host was too great to number; it is not to be taken literally.<\/p>\n three hundred chariots<\/em> ] The chariots, though comparatively few, are mentioned, (1) because Asa himself had none at all<\/em>, (2) perhaps also because they represent an Egyptian contingent. This suggestion receives support from 2Ch 16:8<\/span>, where the Lubim (cp. 2Ch 12:3<\/span>) are associated with the Cushites in the invasion. The cowardly foreign policy of Egypt may have led her on this occasion to defend her own borders from the barbarian hordes, by encouraging them to invade her neighbour’s territories.<\/p>\n The reading three hundred<\/em> is supported by the LXX. and is probably right. The reading of the Pesh., “thirty thousand,” and the wording of 2Ch 16:8<\/span>, “with very many chariots and horsemen,” seem like a retouching of the narrative to make the number of the chariots and horsemen correspond with the number of the whole host.<\/p>\n Mareshah<\/em> ] See note on 2Ch 11:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n 9 15 (no parallel in Kings). The Battle of Mareshah<\/p>\n For a discussion of the historical probabilities of this account see Introduction, 8.<\/p>\n Zerah the Ethiopian is probably Usarken (Osorkon) II, the third king of Egypt after Shishak, according to the Egyptian monuments. Osorkon II may have been by birth an Ethiopian, for he was the son-in-law, not the son, of the preceding monarch, and reigned in right of his wife. The object of the expedition would be to bring Judaea once more under the Egyptian yoke.<\/P> An host of a thousand thousand – <\/B>This is the largest collected army of which we hear in Scripture; but it does not exceed the known numbers of other Oriental armies in ancient times.

As Zerah was the aggressor, he had time to choose whenhe would summon these men and attack the enemy.

According to Josephus b, this army consisted of 900,000 foot, and 100,000 horsemen, and certain it is there were horsemen among them, 2Ch 16:8<\/span> some say these were not the Ethiopians in Africa, beyond Egypt, being, as is said, too far off for such an army to travel, and it would be hard to say what should induce them to it; and besides it is urged, the king of Egypt would never have suffered them to pass through his dominions, as they must to come to Judea; but that they were the Cushite Arabs, that inhabited Midian, part of Arabia Petraea, and Arabia Felix, near Judaea, [See comments on Nu 12:1]<\/span>, but since this great host consisted of Lubim or Libyans, inhabitants of Africa, as well as of Ethiopians, 2Ch 16:8<\/span>, these Ethiopians seem to be rather those in Africa, who were masters of Egypt and Libya, as well as Ethiopia, quickly after the death of Shishak, or Sesostris, see 2Ch 12:2<\/span>, which accounts for the size of this army, and their passage through Egypt: that there were two sorts of Ethiopians, the western and eastern ones, the one that dwelt in Africa, the other in Asia, appears clearly from Homer c, Herodotus d, and Heliodorus e, the former of which seem here meant; nor need this army be thought incredible, especially since they were joined by the Lubim or Libyans, and assisted by the Philistines, as appears by what follows; besides, the two armies of Israel and Judah we read of in the preceding chapter, when put together, exceed this; see also 2Ch 17:14<\/span>, so the armies of Tamerlane and Bajazet, that of the former being 1,600,000, and that of the latter 1,400,000 f:<\/p>\n and came unto Mareshah<\/strong>; a city in the tribe of Judah, on the borders of it, 2Ch 11:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n b Antiqu. l. 8. c. 12. sect. 1. c Odyss. 1. ver. 23, 24. d Polymnia, sive, l. 7. c. 69, 70. e Ethiopic. l. 9. c. 6. f Laonic.

O LORD<\/B>, thou art<\/I> our God; let not man prevail against thee. 12 So the LORD<\/B> smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 13 And Asa and the people that were<\/I> with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD<\/B>, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil. 14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD<\/B> came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. 15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.<\/P> Here is, I. Disturbance given to the peace of Asa’s kingdom by a formidable army of Ethiopians that invaded them, 2Ch 14:9<\/span>; 2Ch 14:10<\/span>. Though still they sought God, yet this fear came upon them, that their faith in God might be tried, and that God might have an opportunity of doing great things for them. It was a vast number that the Ethiopians brought against him: 1,000,000 men;<\/I> and now he found the benefit of having an army ready raised against such a time of need. That provision which we thought needless may soon appear to be of great advantage.<\/P> II. The application Asa made to God on occasion of the threatening cloud which now hung over his head, v.<\/I><\/span> 11<\/span>. He that sought God in the day of his peace and prosperity could with holy boldness cry to God in the day of his trouble, and call him his God.<\/I> His prayer is short, but has much in it. 1. He gives to God the glory of his infinite power and sovereignty: It is nothing with thee to help<\/I> and save by many or few, by those that are mighty or by those that have no power.<\/I> See 1 Sam. xiv. 6<\/span>. God works in his own strength, not in the strength of instruments (Ps. xxi. 13<\/span>), nay, it is his glory to help the weakest<\/I> and to perfect strength out of the mouth of babes and sucklings.<\/I> “We do not say, Lord, take our part, for we have a good army for thee to work by; but, take our part, for without thee we have no power.” 2. He takes hold of their covenant-relation to God as theirs. O Lord, our God!<\/I> and again, “Thou art our God,<\/I> whom we have chosen and cleave to as ours, and who hast promised to be ours.” 3. He pleads their dependence upon God, and the eye they had to him in this expedition. He was well prepared for it, yet trusted not to his preparations; but, “Lord, we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude,<\/I> by warrant from thee, aiming at thy glory, and trusting to thy strength.” 4. He interests God in their cause: “Let not man” (mortal man,<\/I> so the word is) “prevail against thee.<\/I> If he prevail against us, it will be said that he prevails against thee, because thou art our God, and we rest on thee and go forth in thy name, which thou hast encouraged us to do. The enemy is a mortal man; make it to appear what an unequal match he is for an immortal God. Lord, maintain thy own honour; hallowed by thy name.<\/I>“<\/P> III. The glorious victory God gave him over his enemies. 1. God defeated the enemy, and put their forces into disorder (v.<\/I><\/span> 12<\/span>): The Lord smote the Ethiopians,<\/I> smote them with terror, and an unaccountable consternation, so that they fled, and knew neither why nor whither. 2. Asa and his soldiers took the advantage God gave them against the enemy. (1.) They destroyed them. They fell before the Lord<\/I> (for who can stand before him?) and before his host, either an invisible host of angels that were employed to destroy them or the host of Israel, called God’s host<\/I> because owned by him. (2.) They took the plunder of their camp, carried away very much spoil<\/I> from the slain and from the baggage. (3.) They smote the cities<\/I> that were in league with them, to which they fled for shelter, and carried off the spoil of them (v.<\/I><\/span> 14<\/span>); and they were not able to make any resistance, for the fear of the Lord came upon them,<\/I> that is, a fear which God struck them with to such a degree that they had no heart to withstand the conquerors. (4.) They fetched away the cattle out of the enemy’s country, in vast numbers, v.<\/I><\/span> 15<\/span>. Thus the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.<\/P><\/p>\n (9) Against them.<\/strong>Against the army described in last verse. Literally, unto them<\/em> (Gen. 4:8<\/span>; Jdg. 12:3<\/span>).<\/p>\n Zerah the Ethiopian.<\/strong>Heb., ha-Ksh.<\/em> (See Note on 1Ch. 1:8<\/span> [Cush].) Zerah is identified with Osorchon II., hieroglyphic Uasarken, who succeeded Shishak as king of Egypt. The name of this king is curiously like that of Sargon, the great Assyrian conqueror of the eighth century. (See Note on 2Ch. 12:2<\/span>.<\/em>) The object of the expedition appears to have been to bring Judah again under the yoke of Egypt. Shishak had made Rehoboam tributary (2Ch. 12:8<\/span>), after reducing his fortresses and plundering Jerusalem. But now Asa had restored the defences of his country, and apparently reorganised the fighting material; steps indicating a desire for national independence.<\/p>\n A thousand thousand.<\/strong>This very large and symmetrical number would probably be best represented in English by an indefinite expression, like myriads. It is otherwise out of all proportion to the three hundred chariots, which last seems a correct datum. Syriac and Arabic say 20,000 chariots.<\/p>\n Mareshah.<\/strong>One of the fortresses of Rehoboam (2Ch. 11:8<\/span>). It lay in the lowland of Judah, about twenty-six miles south-west of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n WAR WITH ZERAH THE ETHIOPIAN, 2Ch 14:9-15<\/span>.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> Zerah the Ethiopian <\/strong> belonged, probably, to the same dynasty as Shishak, (see note on 1Ki 11:40<\/span>; 1Ki 14:25<\/span>,) for the composition of his army of “the Ethiopians and the Lubims,” (2Ch 16:8<\/span>,) the same nations as composed the army of Shishak, (2Ch 12:3<\/span>,) proves him to have been an Egyptian, not, as some have thought, an Asiatic or Arabian king. He was known as the Ethiopian, <\/em> doubtless, because he was such by birth, being, as Rawlinson says, the son-in-law, not the son, of his predecessor on the throne of Egypt. Hence he is most probably to be identified with Usarken II., (written also Osarchon,<\/em>) the third king of the twenty-second dynasty, and the second after Shishak. His object in invading Judah was doubtless to recover to Egypt the cities which Asa had been fortifying, (2Ch 14:6<\/span>, note,) for Asa’s procedure had been virtually a rebellion against Egypt. <\/p>\n A thousand thousand <\/strong> An enormous army, but not larger than other Oriental monarchs have been known to bring into the field. <\/p>\n Came unto Mareshah <\/strong> This was one of the cities which Rehoboam had fortified, (2Ch 11:8<\/span>,) and which Shishak had probably captured. It lay, according to Robinson, (see note on Jos 15:44<\/span>,) on a hill a mile and a half south of Eleutheropolis, a spot admirably adapted for a fortress. Here the hill country of Judah borders on the great Philistine plain, and the vast Egyptian army might easily have advanced along the coast, and across the plain as far as Mareshah, without meeting much opposition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong> The Defeat of the Ethiopians<\/p>\n v. 9. And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian,<\/strong> either a Cushite king of Arabia or a mighty Ethiopian king, who, as history relates, invaded the southwest of Egypt and of Asia, with an host of a thousand thousand and three hundred chariots,<\/strong> an immense army, filled with the lust of conquest; and came unto Mareshah,<\/strong> a fortified town in the lowlands of Judah. <\/p>\n v. 10. Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah,<\/strong> between Hebron and Ashdod, at Mareshah. <\/p>\n v. 11. And Asa cried unto the Lord, his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power,<\/strong> he had the firm confidence that the almighty power of God was independent of the armed forces of man, no matter what their number was. Help us, O Lord, our God; for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude,<\/strong> which outnumbered his whole army almost two to one. O Lord, Thou art our God; let not man prevail against Thee,<\/strong> mere mortal man, in this case, being represented by the horde which threatened to overwhelm the army of Judah. <\/p>\n v. 12. So the Lord,<\/strong> in answer to Asa’s prayer, smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. <\/p>\n v. 13. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar,<\/strong> the ancient Philistine city southeast of Gaza; and the Ethiopians were overthrown that they could not recover themselves,<\/strong> they fell beyond the hope of rallying their forces; for they were destroyed before the Lord,<\/strong> broken like a piece of glass or fragile pottery. and before His host,<\/strong> for so Asa’s army is called as the instrument of the divine justice and wrath against the enemy, and they,<\/strong> the soldiers of Judah, carried away very much spoil. <\/p>\n v. 14. And they smote all the cities round about Gerar,<\/strong> the Philistines, as usual, probably having made common cause with the Cushites; for the fear of the Lord came upon them,<\/strong> the inhabitants of this entire region. And they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. <\/p>\n v. 15. They smote also the tents of cattle,<\/strong> the herds of the nomad tribes in the northwestern part of Paran, bordering upon the Philistine country, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. <\/strong> Those who trust in the Lord with all their heart shall never be ashamed, for His blessing and protection is always near them. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.<\/p>\n Ver. 9. And there came out against them.<\/strong> ] Called in, likely, by the ten tribes, in revenge of the late overthrow given them by Abijah. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zerah the Ethiopian.<\/strong> ] Who is thought to have reigned over Egypt also. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n With a host of a thousand thousand.<\/strong> ] A larger host than that of Xerxes. Josephus saith it consisted of nine hundred thousand foot, and one hundred thousand horse. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And three hundred chariots,<\/strong> ] sc., <\/em> Falcatis et aeratis,<\/em> armed with scythes, and other instruments of death. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And came unto Mareshah.<\/strong> ] The country of the prophet Micah, the Morasthite, in the tribe of Judah. Here, then, was Hannibal ad portas.<\/p>\n 2Ch 14:9-15<\/p>\n 2Ch 14:9-15<\/p>\n ASA AND JUDAH OVERCOME ZERAH’S MIGHTY FORCE<\/p>\n “And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah. Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. And Asa cried unto his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none beside thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength; help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude, O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty. And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them. They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.”<\/p>\n “They set the battle in array … at Mareshah” (2Ch 14:9-10). “This place was in the valley that marks the entrance into the hills, half way between Gaza and Jerusalem. This was one of the cities that Rehoboam had fortified in anticipation of just such an attack.”<\/p>\n Some scholars have tried to make it out that this was an invasion of Arabians, but Payne is doubtless correct. He identified Zerah as, “Osorkon I, the second Pharaoh of the Twenty-second Dynasty in Egypt, who attempted to duplicate the invasion and pillage of his predecessor Sheshonk (Shishak).” The truth of this identification is corroborated by the historical truth that, “It was Egypt (not Arabia) that never recovered from this blow for more than three centuries; not until 609 B.C., did Egypt again venture into Palestine with hostile intentions.”<\/p>\n Also when Judah defeated the enemy, they fled to Gerar, “A town to the south of Gaza, which was in the direction of Egypt, not Arabia.<\/p>\n “They smote also the tents of the cattle” (2Ch 14:15). “These were the ten The RSV makes it more understandable, “They smote the tents of those who had cattle.”<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 14:9. Chariots were vehicles so constructed as to be useful in battle, although they could be used for purposes of transportation also. They consisted of a single pair of wheels on an axle, upon which was a car with high front and sides, but open at the back. Such an arrangement would serve as a defense against the enemy that was being faced. The opening at the rear would make it convenient when the occupants wished to leave the chariot, either for hasty retreat on foot if the chariot horses were killed, or when it was decided to make a hand-to-hand attack. There were 300 of such vehicles with their equipment, also a host or army of a million soldiers that confronted Asa for battle. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:10. Set the battle in array means they drew up in battle formation. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:11. Nothing with thee to help denotes that great numbers will not count for anything against the Lord. The Ethiopians had brought a large force against the people of God. Asa relied on the strength of his God, and in that faith he offered his prayer “just before the battle.” The situation was the same in principle as that in the case of David and Goliath. That was one where physical strength was to be pitted against the large. The present situation with Asa was to put small numbers against the large. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:12. To smite means to strike or hit another, either with the result of immediate destruction, or with lesser effect. In the case at hand the effect of the smiting was to cause the enemy to flee. Before Asa and before Judah are stated in this way because Asa was the king of Judah. The two terms, then, mean the same forces. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:13. God could completely destroy an enemy on the ground. However, he desired man to have a part in the work, so the foe was first smitten sufficiently to make him flee, then the servants of the Lord were to pursue and make their attack Before the Lord and before his host. These phrases are in keeping with the thoughts just expressed. The Lord and his people were to be workers together. We may read of the same principle as taught by Paul. (1Co 3:9.) The spoil was the loot or valuable personal property taken from the enemy. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:14. Smote all the cities means they smote the people in them. This smiting was severe enough to cause the inhabitants to be afraid of the Lord, and so much that they yielded up their spoil or personal valuables. <\/p>\n 2Ch 14:15. To smite the tents of cattle would mean the tents were attacked and the beasts captured. Thus ended successfully this battle of Asa against his enemies.<\/p>\n am 3063, bc 941 <\/p>\n Zerah: 2Ch 12:2, 2Ch 12:3, 2Ch 16:8, 2Ki 19:9, Isa 8:9, Isa 8:10, Eze 30:5, Rev 16:14 <\/p>\n Mareshah: Jos 15:44, Mic 1:15 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 28:7 – flee before Jdg 7:12 – grasshoppers Jdg 10:9 – passed 1Ki 8:44 – shall pray 1Ch 19:7 – hired 2Ch 6:34 – they pray 2Ch 13:3 – eight hundred 2Ch 13:8 – a great multitude Psa 33:16 – no king Psa 46:6 – heathen Psa 48:3 – General Isa 18:2 – to a people Isa 43:3 – I gave Jer 21:2 – according<\/p>\n 2Ch 14:9.

And came unto Mareshah A city upon and within the borders of Judah, Jos 15:44.
