Book 14 2 Chronicles Chapter 014

 

014:001So 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.

 

014:002And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the
LORD his God:

 

014:003For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high
places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:

 

014:004And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and
to do the law and the commandment.

 

014:005Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high
places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

 

014:006And 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.

 

014:007Therefore 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.

 

014:008And 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.

 

014:009And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an
host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and
came unto Mareshah.

 

014:010Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in
array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

 

014:011And 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 no man prevail against thee.

 

014:012So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah;
and the Ethiopians fled.

 

014:013And 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.

 

014:014And 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.

 

014:015They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep
and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
