2 Chronicles 14:12

The Lord smote. The Lord enabled Asa to gain an amazing victory. Judah had powerful enemies, both to the north and to the south. Left to herself she would quickly have succumbed before the superior might of the forces arrayed against her. But with God’s help she was invincible. The attack of Zerah was the last serious threat that Judah was to meet from the south. Henceforth her enemies were from the north — first, Assyria under Sennacherib, and then Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar, who brought the nation down in ruin.
