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: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

E clamou Asa ao SENHOR seu Deus, e disse: SENHOR, ninguém há mais que a ti para dar ajuda entre o grande e o que nenhuma força tem. Ajuda-nos, ó SENHOR Deus nosso, porque em ti nos apoiamos, e em teu nome viemos contra este exército. Ó SENHOR, tu és nosso Deus; não prevaleça contra ti o homem.
E Asa clamou ao Senhor seu Deus, dizendo: ç Senhor, nada para ti é ajudar, quer o poderoso quer o de nenhuma força. Acuda-nos, pois, o Senhor nosso Deus, porque em ti confiamos, e no teu nome viemos contra esta multidão. ç Senhor, tu és nosso Deus, não prevaleça contra ti o homem.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 14
This chapter relates the death of Abijah, and the succession of Asa in his stead, Ch2 14:1, gives a good character of the latter for his reformation in religion, and for the care he took for the safety and protection of his subjects, Ch2 14:2, and an account is given of a large army of Ethiopians that came against him, over whom he crying to the Lord, and trusting in him, by his help obtained a complete victory, Ch2 14:9.

So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah,.... With consternation and terror; they were thrown into a panic:
and the Ethiopians fled; before them, just as Jeroboam and Israel had, as related in the preceding chapter, Ch2 13:15.

DEMONSTRATION 4.8
Asa prayed, and his prayer manifested great power: when Zerah the Indian [Ethiopian] went out against him with an army of one million with him, Asa then prayed, saying, “By this shall your power be known, O our God, when you finish off a vast people by means of a small people.” God heard his prayer and sent his angel to rout them. Thus the vast army was defeated by the power of Asa’s prayer.

Whether with many - The same sentiment as that uttered by Jonathan, Sa1 14:6, when he attacked the garrison of the Philistines.
O Lord our God - we rest on thee - "Help us, O Lord our God; because we depend on thy Word, and in the name of thy Word we come against this great host." - Targum.

Introduction
ASA DESTROYS IDOLATRY. (Ch2 14:1-5)
In his days the land was quiet ten years--This long interval of peace was the continued effect of the great battle of Zemaraim (compare Kg1 15:11-14).
Oversæt med Google
Asa cried unto the Lord his God--Strong in the confidence that the power of God was able to give the victory equally with few as with many, the pious king marched with a comparatively small force to encounter the formidable host of marauders at his southern frontier. Committing his cause to God, he engaged in the conflict--completely routed the enemy, and succeeded in obtaining, as the reward of his victory, a rich booty in treasure and cattle from the tents of this pastoral horde.
