| 14:1 | So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. |
| 14:2 | And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: |
| 14:3 | For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: |
| 14:4 | And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. |
| 14:5 | Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. |
| 14:6 | And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest. |
| 14:7 | Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while 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. |
| 14:8 | And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour. |
| 14:9 | And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. |
| 14:10 | Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. |
| 14:11 | And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is 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 man prevail against thee. |
| 14:12 | So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. |
| 14:13 | And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil. |
| 14:14 | And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. |
| 14:15 | They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. |

| 14:1 | 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. |
| 14:2 | And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God, |
| 14:3 | and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, |
| 14:4 | and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command; |
| 14:5 | and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him. |
| 14:6 | 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. |
| 14:7 | 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. |
| 14:8 | 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. |
| 14:9 | 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, |
| 14:10 | and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. |
| 14:11 | 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! |
| 14:12 | And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee, |
| 14:13 | 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, |
| 14:14 | 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; |
| 14:15 | and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem. |
