Verse 21
2 Chronicles 35:21
King James Version
21
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah?
I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God (Elohim) commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from
meddling with God (Elohim), who
is with me, that he destroy thee not.
