Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? etc.] They were no less than 1,000,000 men, and three hundred chariots, (<141409>2 Chronicles 14:9), the Lubim were the Libyans, a people near Egypt, that dwelt in Africa; according to an Arabic writer f61, they were the Nubians: yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand; and with equal ease could and would have delivered the Syrian army unto him, had he as then trusted in the Lord.
