2 Chronicles

Chapter 14

1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the presence of the LORD his God;

3 For he demolished the altars of the strange gods and the shrines, and broke down the images and cut down the groves;

4 And he said to Judah, Come, let us pray before the LORD God of our fathers.

5 Also he uprooted out of all the cities of Judah the shrines on the high places and the idols; and his kingdom was quiet in his days, and he had no enemies on all his borders.

6 And he built fenced cities in Judah; for the land had rest, and there was no one who made war against him in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

7 Therefore he said to Judah, Come, let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is still quiet of wars; because we have sought the LORD our God, and he also has sought us and he has given us rest from all those who are round about us, and has comforted us and delivered us.

8 And Asa had an army of mighty men of valour that bore swords and spears out of the tribe of Judah, three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, that bore breastplate and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with a large army of a million men and thirty thousand chariots, and came to Mareshah.

10 Then Asa went out against him, and he fought against him in the valley of Mareshah.

11 And Asa prayed before the LORD his God and said, Thou art our LORD, thou art the help of thy people; and when thou dost deliver a great army in the hands of a small force, then all the inhabitants of the earth shall know that it is good to rely on thee; help us, O LORD our God, because in thy name we have come against this great army. O LORD our God, delay not thy might from us.

12 And when Asa had finished praying, the angel of the LORD routed the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them as far as Gedar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not be numbered: for they were defeated before the LORD and before his armies; and they took and carried away very much spoil.

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gedar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

15 They also carried away the tents of the Arabians and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and brought them to Jerusalem.

1 So Abijah29 slept7901 with his fathers,1 and they buried6912 him in the city5892 of David:1732 and Asa609 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478 In his days3117 the land776 was quiet8252 ten6235 years.8141

2 And Asa609 did6213 that which was good2896 and right3477 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 his God:430

3 For he took5493 away5493 the altars4196 of the strange5236 gods, and the high1116 places, and broke7665 down the images,4676 and cut1438 down the groves:842

4 And commanded559 Judah3063 to seek1875 the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers,1 and to do6213 the law8451 and the commandment.4687

5 Also he took5493 away5493 out of all3605 the cities5892 of Judah3063 the high1116 places and the images: and the kingdom4467 was quiet8252 before6440 him.

6 And he built1129 fenced4694 cities5892 in Judah:3063 for the land776 had rest,8252 and he had no369 war4421 in those428 years;8141 because3588 the LORD3068 had given him rest.5117

7 Therefore he said559 to Judah,3063 Let us build1129 these428 cities,5892 and make about5437 them walls,2346 and towers,4026 gates,1817 and bars,1280 while the land776 is yet5750 before6440 us; because3588 we have sought1875 the LORD3068 our God,430 we have sought1875 him, and he has given us rest5117 on every5437 side.5439 So they built1129 and prospered.6743

8 And Asa609 had1961 an army2428 of men that bore5375 targets6793 and spears,7420 out of Judah3063 three7969 hundred3967 thousand;7239 505 and out of Benjamin,1144 that bore5375 shields4043 and drew1869 bows,7198 two hundred3967 and fourscore8084 thousand:7239 505 all3605 these428 were mighty1368 men of valor.2428

9 And there came3318 out against413 them Zerah2226 the Ethiopian3569 with an host2428 of a thousand505 thousand,505 and three7969 hundred3967 chariots;4818 and came935 to Mareshah.4762

10 Then Asa609 went3318 out against6440 him, and they set the battle4421 in array6186 in the valley1516 of Zephathah6859 at Mareshah.4762

11 And Asa609 cried7121 to the LORD3068 his God,430 and said,559 LORD,3068 it is nothing369 with you to help,5826 whether996 with many,7227 or with them that have no369 power:3581 help5826 us, O LORD3068 our God;430 for we rest8172 on5921 you, and in your name8034 we go935 against5921 this2088 multitude.1995 O LORD,3068 you are our God;430 let no man582 prevail6113 against5973 you.

12 So the LORD3068 smote5062 the Ethiopians3569 before6440 Asa,609 and before6440 Judah;3063 and the Ethiopians3569 fled.5127

13 And Asa609 and the people5971 that were with him pursued7291 them to Gerar:1642 and the Ethiopians3569 were overthrown,5307 that they could not recover4241 themselves;1992 for they were destroyed7665 before6440 the LORD,3068 and before6440 his host;4264 and they carried5375 away very3966 much7235 spoil.7998

14 And they smote5221 all3605 the cities5892 round5439 about Gerar;1642 for the fear6343 of the LORD3068 came1961 on them: and they spoiled962 all3605 the cities;5892 for there was exceeding7235 much7235 spoil961 in them.

15 They smote5221 also1571 the tents168 of cattle,929 and carried7617 away7617 sheep6629 and camels1581 in abundance,7230 and returned7725 to Jerusalem.3389

Chapter 14

1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

1 So Abijah29 slept7901 with his fathers,1 and they buried6912 him in the city5892 of David:1732 and Asa609 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478 In his days3117 the land776 was quiet8252 ten6235 years.8141

2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the presence of the LORD his God;

2 And Asa609 did6213 that which was good2896 and right3477 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 his God:430

3 For he demolished the altars of the strange gods and the shrines, and broke down the images and cut down the groves;

3 For he took5493 away5493 the altars4196 of the strange5236 gods, and the high1116 places, and broke7665 down the images,4676 and cut1438 down the groves:842

4 And he said to Judah, Come, let us pray before the LORD God of our fathers.

4 And commanded559 Judah3063 to seek1875 the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers,1 and to do6213 the law8451 and the commandment.4687

5 Also he uprooted out of all the cities of Judah the shrines on the high places and the idols; and his kingdom was quiet in his days, and he had no enemies on all his borders.

5 Also he took5493 away5493 out of all3605 the cities5892 of Judah3063 the high1116 places and the images: and the kingdom4467 was quiet8252 before6440 him.

6 And he built fenced cities in Judah; for the land had rest, and there was no one who made war against him in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

6 And he built1129 fenced4694 cities5892 in Judah:3063 for the land776 had rest,8252 and he had no369 war4421 in those428 years;8141 because3588 the LORD3068 had given him rest.5117

7 Therefore he said to Judah, Come, let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is still quiet of wars; because we have sought the LORD our God, and he also has sought us and he has given us rest from all those who are round about us, and has comforted us and delivered us.

7 Therefore he said559 to Judah,3063 Let us build1129 these428 cities,5892 and make about5437 them walls,2346 and towers,4026 gates,1817 and bars,1280 while the land776 is yet5750 before6440 us; because3588 we have sought1875 the LORD3068 our God,430 we have sought1875 him, and he has given us rest5117 on every5437 side.5439 So they built1129 and prospered.6743

8 And Asa had an army of mighty men of valour that bore swords and spears out of the tribe of Judah, three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, that bore breastplate and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

8 And Asa609 had1961 an army2428 of men that bore5375 targets6793 and spears,7420 out of Judah3063 three7969 hundred3967 thousand;7239 505 and out of Benjamin,1144 that bore5375 shields4043 and drew1869 bows,7198 two hundred3967 and fourscore8084 thousand:7239 505 all3605 these428 were mighty1368 men of valor.2428

9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with a large army of a million men and thirty thousand chariots, and came to Mareshah.

9 And there came3318 out against413 them Zerah2226 the Ethiopian3569 with an host2428 of a thousand505 thousand,505 and three7969 hundred3967 chariots;4818 and came935 to Mareshah.4762

10 Then Asa went out against him, and he fought against him in the valley of Mareshah.

10 Then Asa609 went3318 out against6440 him, and they set the battle4421 in array6186 in the valley1516 of Zephathah6859 at Mareshah.4762

11 And Asa prayed before the LORD his God and said, Thou art our LORD, thou art the help of thy people; and when thou dost deliver a great army in the hands of a small force, then all the inhabitants of the earth shall know that it is good to rely on thee; help us, O LORD our God, because in thy name we have come against this great army. O LORD our God, delay not thy might from us.

11 And Asa609 cried7121 to the LORD3068 his God,430 and said,559 LORD,3068 it is nothing369 with you to help,5826 whether996 with many,7227 or with them that have no369 power:3581 help5826 us, O LORD3068 our God;430 for we rest8172 on5921 you, and in your name8034 we go935 against5921 this2088 multitude.1995 O LORD,3068 you are our God;430 let no man582 prevail6113 against5973 you.

12 And when Asa had finished praying, the angel of the LORD routed the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

12 So the LORD3068 smote5062 the Ethiopians3569 before6440 Asa,609 and before6440 Judah;3063 and the Ethiopians3569 fled.5127

13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them as far as Gedar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not be numbered: for they were defeated before the LORD and before his armies; and they took and carried away very much spoil.

13 And Asa609 and the people5971 that were with him pursued7291 them to Gerar:1642 and the Ethiopians3569 were overthrown,5307 that they could not recover4241 themselves;1992 for they were destroyed7665 before6440 the LORD,3068 and before6440 his host;4264 and they carried5375 away very3966 much7235 spoil.7998

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gedar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

14 And they smote5221 all3605 the cities5892 round5439 about Gerar;1642 for the fear6343 of the LORD3068 came1961 on them: and they spoiled962 all3605 the cities;5892 for there was exceeding7235 much7235 spoil961 in them.

15 They also carried away the tents of the Arabians and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and brought them to Jerusalem.

15 They smote5221 also1571 the tents168 of cattle,929 and carried7617 away7617 sheep6629 and camels1581 in abundance,7230 and returned7725 to Jerusalem.3389
