2 Chronicles
2 Chronicles 32:7–8
7“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him. 8With him is only the arm of flesh,c but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.”
So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
