2 Chronicles 14 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land had rest for ten years.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
3 He took away the foreign altars and the high places and broke down the pillars and cut down the Asherim
4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment.
5 He also took out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him.
6 He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the LORD gave him peace.
7 And he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God. We have sought him, and he has given us peace on every side." So they built and prospered.
8 And Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, armed with large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin that carried shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
9 Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and came as far as Mareshah.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 And Asa cried to the LORD his God, "O LORD, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; let not man prevail against you."
12 So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.
13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the LORD and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much spoil.
14 And they attacked all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
15 And they struck down the tents of those who had livestock and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
1 So Abijah H29 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732 : and Asa H609 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 PREP-3MS . In his days H3117 the land H776 D-GFS was quiet H8252 ten H6235 MFS years H8141 .
2 And Asa H609 did H6213 W-VQY3MS that which was good H2896 D-NMS and right H3477 in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 :
3 For he took away H5493 W-VHY3MS the altars H4196 of the strange H5236 gods , and the high places H1116 , and broke down H7665 the images H4676 , and cut down H1438 the groves H842 :
4 And commanded H559 W-VQY3MS Judah H3063 to seek H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 , and to do H6213 the law H8451 and the commandment H4687 .
5 Also he took away H5493 W-VHY3MS out of all H3605 M-CMS the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 the high places H1116 and the images H2553 : and the kingdom H4467 was quiet H8252 before H6440 him .
6 And he built H1129 W-VQY3MS fenced H4694 cities H5892 in Judah H3063 : for H3588 CONJ the land H776 D-GFS had rest H8252 , and he had no H369 W-NPAR war H4421 NFS in those H428 D-DPRO-3MP years H8141 ; because H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS had given him rest H5117 .
7 Therefore he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Judah H3063 , Let us build H1129 VQI1MS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP cities H5892 , and make about H5437 them walls H2346 , and towers H4026 , gates H1817 , and bars H1280 , while the land H776 D-GFS is yet H5750 before H6440 us ; because H3588 CONJ we have sought H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 , we have sought H1875 him , and he hath given us rest H5117 on every side H5439 M-ADV . So they built H1129 and prospered H6743 .
8 And Asa H609 had H1961 W-VQY3MS an army H2428 NMS of men that bore H5375 targets H6793 and spears H7420 , out of H4480 Judah H3063 three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS ; and out of Benjamin H1144 , that bore H5375 shields H4043 NMS and drew H1869 bows H7198 CFS , two hundred H3967 MFD and fourscore H8084 W-MMP thousand H505 MMS : all H3605 NMS these H428 PMP were mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 NMS .
9 And there came out H3318 W-VQY3MS against H413 PREP-3MP them Zerah H2226 the Ethiopian H3569 with a host H2428 of a thousand H505 W-BMS thousand H505 MMP , and three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP chariots H4818 ; and came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H5704 PREP Mareshah H4762 .
10 Then Asa H609 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS against H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , and they set the battle in array H6186 W-VQY3MP in the valley H1516 of Zephathah H6859 at Mareshah H4762 .
11 And Asa H609 cried H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 CMP-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , LORD H3068 EDS , it is nothing H369 ADV with H5973 PREP-2MS thee to help H5826 , whether H996 PREP with many H7227 AMS , or with them that have no H369 power H3581 CMS : help H5826 us , O LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 ; for H3588 CONJ we rest H8172 on H5921 PREP thee , and in thy name H8034 we go H935 against H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS multitude H1995 . O LORD H3068 EDS , thou H859 PPRO-2MS art our God H430 ; let not H408 NPAR man H582 prevail H6113 VQY3MS against H5973 PREP-2MS thee .
12 So the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5062 the Ethiopians H3569 before H6440 L-CMP Asa H609 , and before H6440 L-CMP Judah H3063 ; and the Ethiopians H3569 fled H5127 W-VQY3MP .
13 And Asa H609 and the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H5973 PREP-3MS him pursued H7291 them unto H5704 PREP Gerar H1642 : and the Ethiopians H3569 were overthrown H5307 W-VQY3MS , that they could not H369 recover H4241 themselves ; for H3588 CONJ they were destroyed H7665 before H6440 the LORD H3068 EDS , and before H6440 WL-CMP his host H4264 ; and they carried away H5375 W-VQY3MP very H3966 ADV much H7235 VHFA spoil H7998 .
14 And they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 round about H5439 ADV Gerar H1642 ; for H3588 CONJ the fear H6343 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS upon H5921 PREP-3MP them : and they spoiled H962 all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 ; for H3588 CONJ there was H1961 VQQ3FS exceeding much H7227 AFS spoil H961 in them .
15 They smote H5221 VHQ3MP also H1571 W-CONJ the tents H168 of cattle H4735 NMS , and carried away H7617 sheep H6629 NMS and camels H1581 in abundance H7230 LD-NMS , and returned H7725 W-VUY3MP to Jerusalem H3389 .
