Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Asa cried unto the Lord his God,.... Or prayed, as the Targum, with vehemence, being in distress; this he did before the battle began, at the head of his army, and for the encouragement of it:

and said, Lord, [it is] nothing with thee to help; nothing can hinder from helping, his power being superior to all others, and even infinite, and none besides him could:

whether with many, or with them that have no power; numbers make no difference with him, nor the condition they are in; whether numerous and mighty, or few and feeble; he can as easily help the one as the other, see 1 Samuel 14:6,

help us, O Lord our God; who are few and weak in comparison of the enemy:

for we rest on thee; trust in thee, and rely upon thee for help; the Targum is,

"on thy Word we lean:''

and in thy name we go against this multitude; expressing faith in him, expecting help from him, encouraging and strengthening themselves in him, going forth not in their own name and strength, but in his; the Targum is,

"in the name of the Word of the Lord:''

O Lord, thou [art] our God: and thou only we know, and serve no other, and we are thy people, called by thy name:

let not man prevail against thee; for should this enemy prevail against them, it would be interpreted prevailing against their God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

It is nothing ... - i. e., “Thou canst as easily help the weak as the strong.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 14:11. Whether with many — The same sentiment as that uttered by Jonathan, 1 Samuel 14:6, when he attacked the garrison of the Philistines.

O Lord our God - we rest on thee — "Help us, O Lord our God; because we depend on thy WORD, and in the name of thy WORD we come against this great host." - Targum.
