    2 Chronicles 14 Summary

    King Asa brings peace and reform to Judah, removing foreign altars and high places, commanding the people to seek God, and fortifying cities. When the Ethiopian Zerah attacks with a million-man army, Asa cries out to God in one of the most powerful prayers in the Bible.

    God routs the Ethiopians, and Judah plunders their camps. Asa's prayer—'LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power'—expresses the core biblical truth that God's power is not limited by human weakness.

    One of the Bible's great prayers, expressing total dependence on God's power regardless of circumstances.

    "Because we have sought the LORD our God...he hath given us rest on every side."

    — 2 Chronicles 14:7
