6
They outnumber us, so please come and put a curse on them for me. Then perhaps we will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. I know that when you pronounce a blessing, people are blessed, and when you pronounce a curse, they are placed under a curse."

But please spend the night, as the others did, so that I may learn whether or not the LORD has something else to tell me."
