1
So Abijah [0029] slept [7901] with his fathers, [0001] and they buried [6912] him in the city [5892] of David: [1732] and Asa [0609] his son [1121] reigned [4427] in his stead. In his days [3117] the land [0776] was quiet [8252] ten [6235] years. [8141]
2
And Asa [0609] did [6213] [that which was] good [2896] and right [3477] in the eyes [5869] of the LORD [3068] his God: [0430]
3
For he took away [5493] the altars [4196] of the strange [5236] [gods], and the high places, [1116] and brake down [7665] the images, [4676] and cut down [1438] the groves: [0842]
4
And commanded [0559] Judah [3063] to seek [1875] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of their fathers, [0001] and to do [6213] the law [8451] and the commandment. [4687]
5
Also he took away [5493] out of all the cities [5892] of Judah [3063] the high places [1116] and the images: [2553] and the kingdom [4467] was quiet [8252] before [6440] him.
6
And he built [1129] fenced [4694] cities [5892] in Judah: [3063] for the land [0776] had rest, [8252] and he had no war [4421] in those years; [8141] because the LORD [3068] had given him rest. [5117]
7
Therefore he said [0559] unto Judah, [3063] Let us build [1129] these cities, [5892] and make about [5437] [them] walls, [2346] and towers, [4026] gates, [1817] and bars, [1280] [while] the land [0776] [is] yet before [6440] us; because we have sought [1875] the LORD [3068] our God, [0430] we have sought [1875] [him], and he hath given us rest [5117] on every side. [5439] So they built [1129] and prospered. [6743]
8
And Asa [0609] had an army [2428] [of men] that bare [5375] targets [6793] and spears, [7420] out of Judah [3063] three [7969] hundred [3967] thousand; [0505] and out of Benjamin, [1144] that bare [5375] shields [4043] and drew [1869] bows, [7198] two hundred [3967] and fourscore [8084] thousand: [0505] all these [were] mighty men [1368] of valour. [2428]
9
And there came out [3318] against them Zerah [2226] the Ethiopian [3569] with an host [2428] of a thousand [0505] thousand, [0505] and three [7969] hundred [3967] chariots; [4818] and came [0935] unto Mareshah. [4762]
10
Then Asa [0609] went out [3318] against [6440] him, and they set the battle [4421] in array [6186] in the valley [1516] of Zephathah [6859] at Mareshah. [4762]
11
And Asa [0609] cried [7121] unto the LORD [3068] his God, [0430] and said, [0559] LORD, [3068] [it is] nothing with thee to help, [5826] whether [0996] with many, [7227] or with them that have no power: [3581] help [5826] us, O LORD [3068] our God; [0430] for we rest [8172] on thee, and in thy name [8034] we go [0935] against this multitude. [1995] O LORD, [3068] thou [art] our God; [0430] let not man [0582] prevail [6113] against thee.
12
So the LORD [3068] smote [5062] the Ethiopians [3569] before [6440] Asa, [0609] and before [6440] Judah; [3063] and the Ethiopians [3569] fled. [5127]
13
And Asa [0609] and the people [5971] that [were] with him pursued [7291] them unto Gerar: [1642] and the Ethiopians [3569] were overthrown, [5307] that they could not recover [4241] themselves; for they were destroyed [7665] before [6440] the LORD, [3068] and before [6440] his host; [4264] and they carried away [5375] very [3966] much [7235] spoil. [7998]
14
And they smote [5221] all the cities [5892] round about [5439] Gerar; [1642] for the fear [6343] of the LORD [3068] came upon them: and they spoiled [0962] all the cities; [5892] for there was exceeding much [7227] spoil [0961] in them.
15
They smote [5221] also the tents [0168] of cattle, [4735] and carried away [7617] sheep [6629] and camels [1581] in abundance, [7230] and returned [7725] to Jerusalem. [3389]
