[1] So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years. [2] Asa did that which was good and right in Yahweh his God’s eyes, [3] for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, [4] and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command. [5] Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him. [6] He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest. [7] For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered. [8] Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore 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 troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah. [10] Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. [11] Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.” [12] So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. [13] Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before Yahweh and before his army. Judah’s army carried away very much booty. [14] They struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of Yahweh came on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. [15] They also struck the tents of those who had livestock, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, then returned to Jerusalem.

Asa

[1] So Abijah H29 slept H7901 with H5973 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. In his days H3117 the land H776 was quiet H8252 ten H6235 years. H8141 [2] And Asa H609 did H6213 that which was good H2896 and right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the Lord H3068 his God: H430 [3] for he took away H5493 H853 the altars H4196 of the strange H5236 gods, and the high places, H1116 and brake down H7665 H853 the images, H4676§ and cut down H1438 H853 the groves: H842 [4] and commanded H559 Judah H3063 to seek H1875 H853 the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers, H1 and to do H6213 the law H8451 and the commandment. H4687 [5] Also he took away H5493 out of all the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 H853 the high places H1116 and the images: H2553§ and the kingdom H4467 was quiet H8252 before H6440 him. [6] And he built H1129 fenced H4694 cities H5892 in Judah: H3063 for H3588 the land H776 had rest, H8252 and he had no war H4421 in those years; H8141 because H3588 the Lord H3068 had given him rest. H5117 [7] Therefore he said H559 unto Judah, H3063 Let us build H1129 H853 these H428 cities, H5892 and make about H5437 them walls, H2346 and towers, H4026 gates, H1817 and bars, H1280 while the land H776 is yet before H6440 us; because we have sought H1875 H853 the Lord H3068 our God, H430 we have sought H1875 him, and he hath given us rest H5117 on every side. H5439 So they built H1129 and prospered. H6743 [8] And Asa H609 had an army H2428 of men that bare H5375 targets H6793 and spears, H7420 out of Judah H3063 three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand; H505 and out of Benjamin, H1144 that bare H5375 shields H4043 and drew H1869 bows, H7198 two hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 thousand: H505 all these were mighty men H1368 of valour. H2428 [9] And there came out H3318 against them Zerah H2226 the Ethiopian H3569 with an host H2428 of a thousand H505 thousand, H505 and three H7969 hundred H3967 chariots; H4818 and came H935 unto Mareshah. H4762 [10] Then Asa H609 went out H3318 against H6440 him, and they set the battle H4421 in array H6186 in the valley H1516 of Zephathah H6859 at Mareshah. H4762 [11] And Asa H609 cried H7121 unto H413 the Lord H3068 his God, H430 and said, H559 Lord, H3068 it is nothing with thee to help, H5826 whether H996 with H5973 man§y, H7227 or with them that have no power: H3581 help H5826 us, O Lord H3068 our God; H430 for H3588 we rest H8172 on H5921 thee, and in thy name H8034 we go H935 against H5921 this H2088 multitude. H1995 O Lord, H3068 thou art our God; H430 let not man H582 prevail H6113 against thee. [12] So the Lord H3068 smote H5062 the Ethiopians H3569 before H6440 Asa, H609 and before H6440 Judah; H3063 and the Ethiopians H3569 fled. H5127 [13] And Asa H609 and the people H5971 that were with him pursued H7291 them unto Gerar: H1642 and the Ethiopians H3569 were overthrown, H5307 that they could not recover H4241 themselves; for they were destroyed H7665§ before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and before H6440 his host; H4264 and they carried away H5375 very H3966 much H7235 spoil. H7998 [14] And they smote H5221 all H3605 the cities H5892 round about H5439 Gerar; H1642 for H3588 the fear H6343 of the Lord H3068 came upon them: and they spoiled H962 all H3605 the cities; H5892 for H3588 there was exceeding much H7227 spoil H961 in them. [15] They smote H5221 also H1571 the tents H168 of cattle, H4735 and carried away H7617 sheep H6629 and camels H1581 in abundance, H7230 and returned H7725 to Jerusalem. H3389
