CHAP. XIV.
1 Asa succeding, destroyeth idolatry: 6 Having
peace, he strengtheneth his kingdom with
forts and armies. 9 Calling on God, he
overthroweth Zerah, and spoileth the Cushites.
1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and
they buried him in the city of David:
and note Asa his son reigned in his
stead. In his days the land was quiet
ten years.
2 And Asa did that which was good
and right in the eyes of the Lord his
God:
3 For he took away the altars of the
note strange gods, and the high places, and
broke down the note images, and cut down
the groves:
4 And commanded Judah to seek the
Lord God of their fathers, and to do the
law and the commandment.
5 Also he took away out of all the
cities of Judah the high places and the note
images: and the kingdom was quiet before
him.
6 ¶2; And he built fortified cities in Judah:
for the land had rest, and he had
no war in those years; because the Lord
had given him rest.
7 Therefore he said to Judah, Let us
build these cities, and make about them
walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while
-- --
Before CHRIST, 951.
the land is yet before us; because we
have sought the Lord our God, we have
sought him, and he hath given us rest on
every side. So they built, and prospered.
8 And Asa had an army of men that
bore targets and spears, out of Judah
three hundred thousand; and out of
Benjamin, that bore shields and drew
bows, two hundred and eighty thousand:
all these were mighty men of valor.
9 ¶2; note And there came out against
them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a
thousand thousand, and three hundred
chariots; and came to Mareshah.
10 Then Asa went out against him,
and they set the battle in array in the
valley of Zephathath at Mareshah.
11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God,
and said, Lord, it is note nothing with thee
to help, whether with many, or with
them that have no power: help us, O
Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and
in thy name we go against this multitude.
O Lord, thou art our God; let not note man
prevail against thee.
12 So the Lord smote the Cushites
before Asa, and before Judah; and the
Cushites fled.
13 And Asa and the people that were
with him pursued them to Gerar: and
the Cushites were overthrown, that they
could not recover themselves; for they
were note destroyed before the Lord, and
before his host; and they carried away
very much spoil.
14 And they smote all the cities about
Gerar; for the fear of the Lord came
upon them: and they plundered all the
cities; for there was exceeding much
spoil in them.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle,
and carried away sheep and camels in
abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
