41. Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against יְהוָ֥ה, we will go up and fight, according to all that יְהוָ֥ה our Elohim commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

42. And יְהוָ֥ה said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43. So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of יְהוָ֥ה, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

44. And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, unto Hormah.

45. And ye returned and wept before יְהוָ֥ה; but יְהוָ֥ה would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

46. So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode.
