@ 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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:14:2
@ And
Asa
did
that which was
good
and
right
in the
eyes
of the
LORD
his
God
:
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:14:4
@ And
commanded
Judah
to
seek
the
LORD
God
of their
fathers
, and to
do
the
law
and the
commandment
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:14:10
@ Then
Asa
went
out
against
him, and they set the
battle
in
array
in the
valley
of
Zephathah
at
Mareshah
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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.
strkjv@2Chronicles:14:12
@ So the
LORD
smote
the
Ethiopians
before
Asa
, and
before
Judah
; and the
Ethiopians
fled
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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
.
strkjv@2Chronicles: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.
strkjv@2Chronicles:14:15
@ They
smote
also the
tents
of
cattle
, and carried
away
sheep
and
camels
in
abundance
, and
returned
to
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:1
@ And the
Spirit
of
God
came upon
Azariah
the
son
of
Oded
:
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:2
@ And he went
out
to
meet
Asa
, and
said
unto him,
Hear
ye me,
Asa
, and all
Judah
and
Benjamin
; The
LORD
is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye
seek
him, he will be
found
of you; but if ye
forsake
him, he will
forsake
you.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:3
@ Now for a
long
season
Israel
hath been
without
the
true
God
, and without a
teaching
priest
, and without
law
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:4
@ But when they in their
trouble
did
turn
unto the
LORD
God
of
Israel

sought
him, he was
found
of them.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:5
@ And in those
times
there was no
peace
to him that went
out
, nor to him that came
in
, but
great
vexations
were upon all the
inhabitants
of the
countries
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:6
@ And
nation
was
destroyed
of
nation
, and
city
of
city

God
did
vex
them with all
adversity
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:7
@ Be ye
strong
therefore, and let not your
hands
be
weak
: for your
work
shall
be
rewarded
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:8
@ And when
Asa
heard
these
words
, and the
prophecy
of
Oded
the
prophet
, he took
courage
, and put
away
the abominable
idols
out of all the
land
of
Judah
and
Benjamin
, and out of the
cities
which he had
taken
from
mount
Ephraim
, and
renewed
the
altar
of the
LORD
, that was
before
the
porch
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:9
@ And he
gathered
all
Judah
and
Benjamin
, and the
strangers
with them out of
Ephraim
and
Manasseh
, and out of
Simeon
: for they
fell
to him out of
Israel
in
abundance
, when they
saw
that the
LORD
his
God
was with him.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:10
@ So they gathered themselves
together
at
Jerusalem
in the
third
month

fifteenth
year
of the
reign
of
Asa
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:11
@ And they
offered
unto the
LORD
the same
time

spoil
which they had
brought
,
seven
hundred
oxen
and
seven
thousand
sheep
.
strkjv@2Chronicles:15:12
@ And they
entered
into a
covenant

seek
the

strkjv@2Chronicles:15:13

sware

rejoiced
at the

with all their

sought

rest

@ And also concerning
Maachah

removed

cut
down

Kidron
