When he strove

Then David defeated Hadadezer, the son of Rehob king of Zobah, as he went to restore his rule at the River.

And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam; and Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer led them.

David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his rule to the Euphrates River.

When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

Valley

He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt 10,000 and took Sela by war, and named it Joktheel to this day.

Now Amaziah strengthened himself and led his people forth, and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down 10,000 of the sons of Seir.

O god

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And do not go out with our armies.

A Maskil of Asaph.
O God, why have You rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

But You have cast off and rejected,
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

O turn

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;

And deliver us and

forgive our sins for Your name’s sake.

“I have made a covenant with My chosen;
I have sworn to David My servant,

Restore us, O God of our salvation,

And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?
And be sorry for Your servants.

For the Lord will not reject forever,

“I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph,
And I will

bring them back,

Because I have had compassion on them;
And they will be as though I had not rejected them,
For I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.

General references

“Edom shall be a possession,

Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession,

While Israel performs valiantly.

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And do not go out with our armies.
