Numbers 14:42-44

New King James Version

^42 (A)Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the Lord is not among you. ⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; ^(B)because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”

^44 (C)But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop. Nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed from the camp.
