2 Samuel 23:12

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!

You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.

But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.

You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”

He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.

Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspring of Abraham your friend forever?

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain. Truly the salvation of Israel is in Yahweh our God.

“Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.

But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”

Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;

I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.

Observe that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.

When Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you;

Joshua said, “By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite out from before you.

Yahweh confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.

As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.

Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.

So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.

I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.

When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burned with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.

He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”

Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”

So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.

Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,

Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.”

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.

You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.

God is to us a God of deliverance. To Yahweh, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.

He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies.

He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but victory is with Yahweh.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them.

Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”

My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; For Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.

God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
