Schlachter Bibel

Und Asa rief den Herrn , seinen Gott, an und sprach: Herr , bei dir ist kein Unterschied, zu helfen, wo viel oder wo keine Kraft ist. Hilf uns, Herr , unser Gott, denn wir verlassen uns auf dich; und in deinem Namen sind wir gekommen wider diesen Haufen! Du, Herr , bist unser Gott! Vor dir behält der Sterbliche keine Kraft!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Asa went out against him,.... Notwithstanding he brought so great an army with him:

and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah; where the Ethiopians were; he did not stay till they got further into his country, but marched against them when on the frontiers of it, and chose the valley to pitch in, as being more to the advantage of his smaller army; see Judges 1:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “valley of Zephathah” - not elsewhere mentioned - is probably the broad Wady which opens out from Mareshah (marginal reference) in a northwesterly direction, leading into the great Philistine plain. Zerah, on the advance of Asa, drew off into the wider space of the Wady, where he could use his horsemen and chariots.
