2 Chronicles 14:7

14:7 He said to the people of Judah: ¹  “Let’s build these cities and fortify them with walls, towers, and barred gates. ²  The land remains ours because we have followed ³  the Lord our God and he has made us secure on all sides.” ⁴  So they built the cities ⁵  and prospered.

2 Chronicles 14:11

14:11 Asa prayed ⁶  to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. ⁷  Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. ⁸  O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” ⁹ 

2 Chronicles 32:15

32:15 Now don’t let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people from my power or the power of my predecessors. So how ¹⁰  can your gods rescue ¹¹  you from my power?’”
