So Abijah
H7901
slept
[H8799]
H1
with his fathers
H6912
, and they buried
[H8799]
H5892
him in the city
H1732
of David
H609
: and Asa
H1121
his son
H4427
reigned
[H8799]
H3117
in his stead. In his days
H776
the land
H8252
was quiet
[H8804]
H6235
ten
H8141
years.
2
H609
And Asa
H6213
did
[H8799]
H2896
that which was good
H3477
and right
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD
H430
his God:
3
H5493
For he took away
[H8686]
H4196
the altars
H5236
of the strange
H1116
gods, and the high places
H7665
, and brake down
[H8762]
H4676
the images
H1438
, and cut down
[H8762]
H842
the groves:
4
H559
And commanded
[H8799]
H3063
Judah
H1875
to seek
[H8800]
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers
H6213
, and to do
[H8800]
H8451
the law
H4687
and the commandment.
5
H5493
Also he took away
[H8686]
H5892
out of all the cities
H3063
of Judah
H1116
the high places
H2553
and the images
H4467
: and the kingdom
H8252
was quiet
[H8799]
H6440
before him.
6
H1129
And he built
[H8799]
H4694
fenced
H5892
cities
H3063
in Judah
H776
: for the land
H8252
had rest
[H8804]
H4421
, and he had no war
H8141
in those years
H3068
; because the LORD
H5117
had given him rest
[H8689]
.
7
H559
Therefore he said
[H8799]
H3063
unto Judah
H1129
, Let us build
[H8799]
H5892
these cities
H5437
, and make about
[H8686]
H2346
them walls
H4026
, and towers
H1817
, gates
H1280
, and bars
H776
, while the land
H6440
is yet before
H1875
us; because we have sought
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H430
our God
H1875
, we have sought
[H8804]
H5117
him, and he hath given us rest
[H8799]
H5439
on every side
H1129
. So they built
[H8799]
H6743
and prospered
[H8686]
.
8
H609
And Asa
H2428
had an army
H5375
of men that bare
[H8802]
H6793
targets
H7420
and spears
H3063
, out of Judah
H7969
three
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand
H1144
; and out of Benjamin
H5375
, that bare
[H8802]
H4043
shields
H1869
and drew
[H8802]
H7198
bows
H3967
, two hundred
H8084
and fourscore
H505
thousand
H1368
: all these were mighty men
H2428
of valour.
9
H3318
And there came out
[H8799]
H2226
against them Zerah
H3569
the Ethiopian
H2428
with an host
H505
of a thousand
H505
thousand
H7969
, and three
H3967
hundred
H4818
chariots
H935
; and came
[H8799]
H4762
unto Mareshah.
10
H609
Then Asa
H3318
went out
[H8799]
H6440
against
H4421
him, and they set the battle
H6186
in array
[H8799]
H1516
in the valley
H6859
of Zephathah
H4762
at Mareshah.
11
H609
And Asa
H7121
cried
[H8799]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
his God
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H3068
, LORD
H5826
, it is nothing with thee to help
[H8800]
H996
, whether
H7227
with many
H3581
, or with them that have no power
H5826
: help
[H8798]
H3068
us, O LORD
H430
our God
H8172
; for we rest
[H8738]
H8034
on thee, and in thy name
H935
we go
[H8804]
H1995
against this multitude
H3068
. O LORD
H430
, thou art our God
H582
; let not man
H6113
prevail
[H8799]
against thee.
12
H3068
So the LORD
H5062
smote
[H8799]
H3569
the Ethiopians
H6440
before
H609
Asa
H6440
, and before
H3063
Judah
H3569
; and the Ethiopians
H5127
fled
[H8799]
.
13
H609
And Asa
H5971
and the people
H7291
that were with him pursued
[H8799]
H1642
them unto Gerar
H3569
: and the Ethiopians
H5307
were overthrown
[H8799]
H4241
, that they could not recover
H7665
themselves; for they were destroyed
[H8738]
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H6440
, and before
H4264
his host
H5375
; and they carried away
[H8799]
H3966
very
H7235
much
[H8687]
H7998
spoil.
