Chap. XIIII.
Abias dieth, and his sonne Asa reigneth, destroyeth idolataie, 6. for tifieth
his cities, 9. and ouercometh, by Gods special helpe, the Aethiopian, armie
of a million of men.
1 And Abias slept with his fathers, and they buried him
in the Citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne reigned for
him, in whose daies the land was quiet tenne yeares.
2 And
Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his
God, and he ouerthrew the altars of note strange seruice, and
the excelses,
3 and brake the statues, and cut downe the
groues.
4 And he commanded Iuda that they should seeke
our Lord the God of their fathers, and should doe the law,
and al the commandementes.
5 And he tooke away out of al
the cities of Iuda the altars, and temples, & reigned in peace.
6 He built also fensed cities in Iuda, because he was quiet, and
there had no battels risen in his time, our Lord geuing peace.
7 And he sayd to Iuda: Let vs build these cities, and compasse
them with walles, and strengthen them with towers, and
gates, and lockes, whiles thinges are quiet from battels, because
we haue sought out Lord the God of our fathers, and
he hath geuen vs peace round about. They therfore did build,
and there was no impediment in building.
8 And Asa had in
his armie of them that caried shieldes and speares, of Iuda
three hundred thousand: and of Beniamin shieldbearers and
archers, two hundred eightie thousand, al these were most
valiant men.
9 And Zara the Ethiopian with his armie issued
forth agaynst them, tenne hundred thousand, and with three
hundred chariotes: and he came as far as Maresa.
10 Moreouer
Asa went on to meete him, and set his armie in aray to
battel in the vale Sephata, which is neere Maresa.
11 And
he inuocated our Lord God, and sayd: Lord there is no difference
with thee, whether thou helpe in few, or in manie:
helpe vs ô Lord our God: for hauing confidence in thee, and
in thy name we are come agaynst this multitude. Lord, thou
art our God, let not man preuaile agaynst thee.
12 Our Lord
-- --
Asa.
therfore tertified the Æthiopians before Asa and Iuda: and
the Æthiopians fled.
13 And Asa pursewed them, and the
people that was with him, vnto Gerara: and the Æthiopians
fel to vtter destruction, because our Lord killing them, and
his armie fighting they were destroyed. They tooke therfore
manie spoiles,
14 and they stroke al the cities round about
Gerara: for great terrour had inuaded al men: and they spoyled
the cities, and caried away much praye.
15 Yea and destroying
the sheepecotes of sheepe, they tooke an infinite multitude
of cattel, and of camels: and returned into Ierusalem.
