2 Chronicles 25:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 Then for 7,500 pounds[a] of silver he hired one hundred thousand valiant warriors from Israel.
7 However, a man of God(A) came to him and said, “King, do not let Israel’s army go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—all the Ephraimites. 8 But if you go with them, do it! Be strong for battle! But God will make you stumble before the enemy,(B) for God has the power to help(C) or to make one stumble.”

New International Version
6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents[a] of silver.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, these troops from Israel(A) must not march with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—not with any of the people of Ephraim. 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.”(B)
