⁶ Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised^(A) men. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing^(B) can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many^(C) or by few.^(D)”

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.”

¹⁵ He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged^(A) because of this vast army. For the battle^(B) is not yours, but God’s.

⁷ Yet I will show love to Judah; and I will save them—not by bow,^(A) sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but I, the Lord their God,^(B) will save them.”

⁶ So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:^(A) ‘Not^(B) by might nor by power,^(C) but by my Spirit,’^(D) says the Lord Almighty.
