2 Chronicles 16:8

Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with very
many chariots and horsemen?
&c.] They were no less than 1,000,000 men, and three hundred chariots, ( 2 Chronicles 14:9 ) , the Lubim were the Libyans, a people near Egypt, that dwelt in Africa; according to an Arabic writer F12, they were the Nubians:

yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine
hand;
and with equal ease could and would have delivered the Syrian army unto him, had he as then trusted in the Lord.
