Thematic Bible



Now Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand.


Thus says the Lord,
“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in chains
And will bow down to you;
They will make supplication to you:
Surely, God is with you, and there is none else,
No other God.’”

And will bow down to you;
They will make supplication to you:
Surely, God is with you, and there is none else,
No other God.’”
