So AbijahH29 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. In his daysH3117 the landH776 was quietH8252 tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
For he took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 of the strangeH5236 gods, and the high placesH1116, and brake downH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842: {images: Heb. statues}
And commandedH559 JudahH3063 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and to doH6213 the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687.
Also he took awayH5493 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 the high placesH1116 and the imagesH2553: and the kingdomH4467 was quietH8252 beforeH6440 him. {images: Heb. sun images}
And he builtH1129 fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: for the landH776 had restH8252, and he had no warH4421 in those yearsH8141; because the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117.
Therefore he saidH559 unto JudahH3063, Let us buildH1129 these citiesH5892, and make aboutH5437 them wallsH2346, and towersH4026, gatesH1817, and barsH1280, while the landH776 is yet beforeH6440 us; because we have soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we have soughtH1875 him, and he hath given us restH5117 on every sideH5439. So they builtH1129 and prosperedH6743.
And AsaH609 had an armyH2428 of men that bareH5375 targetsH6793 and spearsH7420, out of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505; and out of BenjaminH1144, that bareH5375 shieldsH4043 and drewH1869 bowsH7198, two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505: all these were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And there came outH3318 against them ZerahH2226 the EthiopianH3569 with an hostH2428 of a thousandH505 thousandH505, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 chariotsH4818; and cameH935 unto MareshahH4762.
Then AsaH609 went outH3318 againstH6440 him, and they set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 in the valleyH1516 of ZephathahH6859 at MareshahH4762.
And AsaH609 criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, it is nothing with thee to helpH5826, whetherH996 with manyH7227, or with them that have no powerH3581: helpH5826 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430; for we restH8172 on thee, and in thy nameH8034 we goH935 against this multitudeH1995. O LORDH3068, thou art our GodH430; let not manH582 prevailH6113 against thee. {man: or, mortal man}
So the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 the EthiopiansH3569 beforeH6440 AsaH609, and beforeH6440 JudahH3063; and the EthiopiansH3569 fledH5127.
And AsaH609 and the peopleH5971 that were with him pursuedH7291 them unto GerarH1642: and the EthiopiansH3569 were overthrownH5307, that they could not recoverH4241 themselves; for they were destroyedH7665 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his hostH4264; and they carried awayH5375 veryH3966 muchH7235 spoilH7998. {destroyed: Heb. broken}
And they smoteH5221 all the citiesH5892 round aboutH5439 GerarH1642; for the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 came upon them: and they spoiledH962 all the citiesH5892; for there was exceeding muchH7227 spoilH961 in them.
They smoteH5221 also the tentsH168 of cattleH4735, and carried awayH7617 sheepH6629 and camelsH1581 in abundanceH7230, and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.

Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 gave a shoutH7321: and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321, it came to pass, that GodH430 smoteH5062 JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063.
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
And took offH5493 their chariotH4818 wheelsH212, that they draveH5090 them heavilyH3517: so that the EgyptiansH4714 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127 from the faceH6440 of IsraelH3478; for the LORDH3068 fightethH3898 for them against the EgyptiansH4714. {that they…: or, and made them to go heavily}
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thine enemiesH341 that rise upH6965 against thee to be smittenH5062 before thy faceH6440: they shall come outH3318 against thee oneH259 wayH1870, and fleeH5127 beforeH6440 thee sevenH7651 waysH1870.
SeeH7200 now that I, even I, am he, and there is no godH430 with me: I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I woundH4272, and I healH7495: neither is there any that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027.
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 them beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and slewH5221 them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chasedH7291 them along the wayH1870 that goeth upH4608 to BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719.
Through GodH430 we shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428: for he it is that shall tread downH947 our enemiesH6862.
