Numbers 14:42
42 aDo not go up, bfor the Lord is not among you, lest you be struck down before your enemies.2 Chronicles 11:4
4‘Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up or fight against cyour relatives. Return every man to his home, for this thing is from me.’” So they listened to the word of the Lord and returned and did not go against Jeroboam.2 Chronicles 25:7-8
7But da man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel, with all these Ephraimites. 8But go, act, be strong for the battle. Why should you suppose that God will cast you down before the enemy? eFor God has power to help or to cast down.”2 Chronicles 28:9-13
9But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded, and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria and said to them, “Behold, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, fwas angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand, but you have killed them in a rage gthat has reached up to heaven. 10And now you intend to subjugate the people of Judah and Jerusalem, male and female, as your slaves. Have you not sins of your own against the Lord your God? 11Now hear me, and send back the captives hfrom your relatives whom you have taken, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you.”12Certain chiefs also of the men of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who were coming from the war 13and said to them, “You shall not bring the captives in here, for you propose to bring upon us guilt against the Lord in addition to our present sins and guilt. For our guilt is already great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
