Numbers 14:39-45

When Moses told these things to all the Israelites, they were very sad. Early the next morning they started to go toward the top of the mountains, saying, “We have sinned. We will go where the LORD told us.” But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the LORD’s command? You will not win! Don’t go, because the LORD is not with you and you will be beaten by your enemies. You will run into the Amalekites and Canaanites, who will kill you with swords. You have turned away from the LORD, so the LORD will not be with you.” But they were proud. They went toward the top of the mountains, but Moses and the Ark of the Agreement with the LORD did not leave the camp. The Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in those mountains came down and attacked the Israelites and beat them back all the way to Hormah.
