42. And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43. So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
44. And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45. And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
46. So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
