2 Chronicles Chapter 14

Young's Literal Translation

   1: And Abijah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead: in his days was the land quiet ten years.
   2: And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
   3: and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
   4: and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
   5: and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
   6: And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Jehovah hath given rest to him.
   7: And he saith to Judah, 'Let us build these cities, and compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper.
   8: And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these [are] mighty of valour.
   9: And come out unto them doth Zerah the Cushite with a force of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he cometh in unto Mareshah,
   10: and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
   11: And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, 'Jehovah! it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou [art]; let him not prevail with Thee -- mortal man!
   12: And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
   13: and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before Jehovah, and before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil,
   14: and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of Jehovah hath been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil hath been in them;
   15: and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
