When he strove

David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his power at the river Euphrates.

And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphrates. They came to Helam, with Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah-Hamath, as he went to set up his monument at the river Euphrates.

But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

Valley

He struck down ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt and took Sela by storm, and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this day.

But Amaziah took courage and led out his people and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down 10,000 men of Seir.

O god

Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.

But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies.

O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?

But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.

Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.

"And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

O turn

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name's sake!

You have said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:

Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!

Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants!

For the Lord will not cast off forever,

"I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back because I have compassion on them, and they shall be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.
