In this lesson we are going to learn a very important lesson from the life of a king named Asa.
Do you know who a king is?
Have you heard any stories about kings, queens, princes or princesses?
A king is a ruler of a country. For most of history,
most countries were ruled by kings. The wife of a king is called a queen. A
woman who becomes a ruler of a country is also called a queen. The son of a king is called a
Prince. The daughter of a king is called a Princess. The country or the land
over which the king rules is called a kingdom.
King Asa ruled
over the Kingdom of Judah. Asa was a good King. He loved God and did all the
right things. The kings who rule over a country have to be watchful, because
sometimes the neighbouring countries may try to make a war and take away their
land. But during King Asa’s reign, he did not have trouble from any enemy for
many years and his Kingdom had peace. Asa was a wise king, so he spent the time
of peace that God gave him carefully. He built fences, walls, towers, and gates
when the land was quiet and there were no wars. The people of his Kingdom
prospered. King Asa had an army of 5,80,000 very brave men.

One day, a man named Zerah from a country called Ethiopia brought a powerful army of one million men and 300 chariots to fight King Asa and the people of the Kingdom of Judah. They gathered at a Valley called Zephathah. A valley is the low lying land between two mountains. King Asa knew that it would be a very tough battle.
Chariots
were carriages or carts that were drawn by animals such as horses. In the olden
days, cars, trucks or other modern means of transport were not available.
Hence, chariots were used by kings and other important men as a
faster way to travel and was also used in warfare.

King Asa decided to ask God for help. Eventhough King Asa had a great army of mighty men, he put his trust in God. He prayed to God. King Asa told God "Lord,
there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty.” King Asa
pleaded with God to help them because they have come to fight against a very big army, relying in His name.

God answered
King Asa and helped him to overcome the Ethiopians. Eventhough the Ethiopinas were a very large army and had chariots that would help them to move faster, King Asa and his men could easily chase them. The Ethiopians were defeated and they ran away.
