KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)


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.

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 strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the 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 images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

10  Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

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.

12  So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

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  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.

15  They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

1  So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his stead: in his dayes the land was quiet ten yeeres.

2  And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.

3  For hee tooke away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues:

4  And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the Law, and the Commandement.

5  Also he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah, the high places and the images: and the kingdome was quiet before him.

6  ¶ And hee built fenced cities in Iudah; for the land had rest, and hee had no warre in those yeeres; because the Lord had giuen him rest.

7  Therefore hee said vnto Iudah, Let vs build these cities, & make about them walles, and towers, gates and barres, while the land is yet before vs: because wee haue sought the Lord our God, wee haue sought him, and hee hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built, and prospered.

8  And Asa had an armie of men that bare targets and speares, out of Iudah three hundred thousand, and out of Beniamin, that bare shields and drew bowes, two hundred and fourescore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

9  ¶ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian, with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred charets, and came vnto Mareshah.

10  Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battel in aray in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11  And Asa cried vnto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe, whether with many, or with them that haue no power. Helpe vs, O Lord our God, for we rest on thee, and in thy Name wee goe against this multitude: O Lord thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.

12  So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.

13  And Asa and the people that were with him, pursued them vnto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were ouerthrown, that they could not recouer themselues, for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his hoste, and they caried away very much spoile.

14  And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the feare of the Lord came vpon them: and they spoiled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoile in them.

15  They smote also the tents of cattell, and caried away sheepe and camels inabundance, and returned to Ierusalem.
