2 Chronicles Chapter 14The Darby Bible2: And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God; 3: and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs; 4: and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment. 5: And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him. 6: And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest. 7: And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered. 8: And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour. 9: And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah. 10: And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah. 11: And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 12: And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 13: And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil. 14: And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them. 15: They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
