Psalms 78:9
King James VersionSource notes
“The children of Ephraim, armed, carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”
Context
6That the generation to come might know the children should be born; should arise and declare to their children:
7That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
8And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9The children of Ephraim, armed, carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
11And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.
