Context — The Defeat at Hormah
41“We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
44Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah. 45And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.Cross References

Deuteronomy 1:43 Summary
[This verse means that the people of Israel refused to listen to Moses and the Lord, and instead did what they wanted to do, which was to go up into the hill country and fight. This was a mistake, because the Lord had told them not to go, and it led to them being defeated by their enemies, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:44. We can learn from their mistake by obeying the Lord's commands and trusting in His guidance, rather than our own strength and abilities (Proverbs 3:5-6). By doing so, we can avoid the consequences of disobedience and experience the Lord's blessings and protection (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).]
