H29
So Abijah
H7901
slept
H1
with his fathers,
H6912
and they buried
H5892
him in the city
H1732
of David;
H609
and Asa
H1121
his son
H4427
reigned
H3117
in his place. In his days
H776
the land
H8252
was quiet
H6235
ten
H8141
years.
2
H609
Asa
H6213
did
H2896
that which was good
H3477
and right
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
his God:
3
H5493
for he took away
H5236
the foreign
H4196
altars,
H1116
and the high places,
H7665
and broke down
H4676
the pillars,
H7665
and cut down
H842
the Asherim,
4
H559
and commanded
H3063
Judah
H1875
to seek
H3068
Yahweh,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers,
H6213
and to do
H8451
the law
H4687
and the commandment.
5
H5493
Also he took away
H5892
out of all the cities
H3063
of Judah
H1116
the high places
H2553
and the sun images:
H4467
and the kingdom
H8252
was quiet
H6440
before him.
6
H1129
He built
H4694
fortified
H5892
cities
H3063
in Judah;
H776
for the land
H8252
was quiet,
H4421
and he had no war
H8141
in those years,
H3068
because Yahweh
H5117
had given him rest.
7
H559
For he said
H3063
to Judah,
H1129
"Let us build
H5892
these cities,
H2346
and make walls
H5437
around
H4026
them, with towers,
H1817
gates,
H1280
and bars.
H776
The land
H6440
is yet before
H1875
us, because we have sought
H3068
Yahweh
H430
our God;
H1875
we have sought
H5117
him, and he has given us rest
H5439
on every side."
H1129
So they built
H6743
and prospered.
8
H609
Asa
H2428
had an army
H5375
that bore
H6793
bucklers
H7420
and spears,
H3063
out of Judah
H7969
three
H3967
hundred
H505
thousand;
H1144
and out of Benjamin,
H5375
that bore
H4043
shields
H1869
and drew
H7198
bows,
H3967
two hundred
H8084
eighty
H505
thousand:
H1368
all these were mighty men
H2428
of valor.
9
H3318
There came out
H2226
against them Zerah
H3569
the Ethiopian
H2428
with an army
H505
of a
H505
million
H7969
troops, and three
H3967
hundred
H4818
chariots;
H935
and he came
H4762
to Mareshah.
10
H609
Then Asa
H3318
went out
H6440
to meet
H4421
him, and they set the battle
H6186
in array
H1516
in the valley
H6859
of Zephathah
H4762
at Mareshah.
11
H609
Asa
H7121
cried
H3068
to Yahweh
H430
his God,
H559
and said,
H3068
"Yahweh,
H5826
there is none besides you to help,
H996
between
H7227
the mighty
H3581
and him who has no strength.
H5826
Help
H3068
us, Yahweh
H430
our God;
H8172
for we rely
H8034
on you, and in your name
H935
are we come
H1995
against this multitude.
H3068
Yahweh,
H935
you are our God.
H582
Don't let man
H6113
prevail against you."
12
H3068
So Yahweh
H5062
struck
H3569
the Ethiopians
H6440
before
H609
Asa,
H6440
and before
H3063
Judah;
H3569
and the Ethiopians
H5127
fled.
13
H609
Asa
H5971
and the people
H7291
who were with him pursued
H1642
them to Gerar:
H5307
and there fell
H3569
of the Ethiopians
H4241
so many that they could not recover
H7665
themselves; for they were destroyed
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh,
H6440
and before
H4264
his army;
H5375
and they carried away
H3966
very
H7235
much
H7998
booty.
