2 Chronicles 25:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ He also hired 100,000 strong, brave men from Isra’el for three-and-a-third tons of silver. ⁷ But a man of God came to him and said, “King, don’t let the army of Isra’el go with you; because Adonai is not with Isra’el or with any of the people of Efrayim. ⁸ And if you do go, then no matter how fiercely you fight, God will cause you to fail before the enemy. For God has the power to help and to cause failure.”
