2CH-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 ten years.
2CH-14:2 And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes
of the LORD his God:
2CH-14:3 For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and
the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the
groves:
2CH-14:4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their
fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
2CH-14:5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the
high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
2CH-14:6 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had
rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had
given him rest.
2CH-14:7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities,
and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars,
[while] the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the
LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he hath given us rest on
every side. So they built and prospered.
2CH-14:8 And Asa had an army [of men] that bare targets and
spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin,
that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore
thousand: all these [were] mighty men of valour.
2CH-14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian
with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots;
and came unto Mareshah.
2CH-14:10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle
in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
2CH-14:11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD,
[it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with
them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on
thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou
[art] our God; let not man prevail against thee.
2CH-14:12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and
before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
2CH-14:13 And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued
them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they
could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the
LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
2CH-14:14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for
the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the
cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
2CH-14:15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away
sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
