O LORD God of our fathers,are you not God in heaven,and do you not rule over the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might so that no one is able to withstand you? Are you not our GOD, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and gave it to your friend Abraham forever? And they dwell in it and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name saying,"If disasters comes upon us- sword, judgement, pestilence, or famine- we will stand before this temple and in your presence (for your name is in this temple), and cry out to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save. '
" And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir - whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them_
"Here they are, rewarding us by throwing us out of our possession which you have given us to inherit.
'O our GOD, will you not judge them?? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us ; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon you".
2 Chronicles 20:6-12
