jub - 2Chronicles:14-15

jub@2Chronicles: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 had rest ten years.

jub@2Chronicles:14:2 @ And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God,

jub@2Chronicles:14:3 @ for he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places and broke down the images and cut down the groves

jub@2Chronicles:14:4 @ and commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and they fulfilled the law and the commandments.

jub@2Chronicles:14:5 @ Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom had rest before him.

jub@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.

jub@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore, he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities and make about [them] walls and towers, gates, and bars, now that the land [is] ours; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and were prospered.

jub@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army [of men] that bore shields and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand; all these [were] mighty men of valour.

jub@2Chronicles:14:9 @ And there came out against them Zerah, the Ethiopian, with a host of a thousand thousand and three hundred chariots and came unto Mareshah.

jub@2Chronicles:14:10 @ Then Asa went out against him, and they ordered the battle in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

jub@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 those that have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou [art] our God; do not let man prevail against thee.

jub@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

jub@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued them unto Gerar, and the Ethiopians were overthrown until there were none [left] alive, for they were destroyed before the LORD and before his host, and they carried away very much spoil.

jub@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.

jub@2Chronicles:14:15 @ They smote also the booths of livestock and carried away sheep and camels in abundance and returned to Jerusalem.:

jub@2Chronicles:15:1 @ And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Oded;

jub@2Chronicles:15:2 @ and he went out to meet Asa and said unto him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The LORD [is] with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

jub@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For many days Israel [has been] without the true God, and without a priest and without a teacher and without law,

jub@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when they in their trouble turned unto the LORD God of Israel and sought him, he was found of them.

jub@2Chronicles:15:5 @ And in those times [there was] no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great destruction upon all the inhabitants of the lands.

jub@2Chronicles:15:6 @ And one Gentile destroyed the other, and one city the other; for God discomforted them with all adversity.

jub@2Chronicles:15:7 @ Be ye strong, therefore, and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.

jub@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard the words and prophecy of Oded, the prophet, he was comforted and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin and out of the cities which he had taken in Mount Ephraim and repaired the altar of the LORD, that [was] before the porch of the LORD.

jub@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 many of Israel had gone over to him, when they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him.

jub@2Chronicles:15:10 @ So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

jub@2Chronicles:15:11 @ And they offered unto the LORD the same day, of the spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

jub@2Chronicles:15:12 @ And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

jub@2Chronicles:15:13 @ that whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

jub@2Chronicles:15:14 @ And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting and with trumpets and with shofar.

jub@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all those of Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them; and the LORD gave them rest round about.

jub@2Chronicles:15:16 @ And also [concerning] Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from [being] queen because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa cut down her idol and stamped [it] and burnt [it] at the Brook Kidron.

jub@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But with all this the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

jub@2Chronicles:15:18 @ And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.

jub@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no [more] war until the year thirty-five of the reign of Asa.:

jub@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the year thirty-six of the reign of Asa, Baasha, king of Israel, came up against Judah and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let no one go out or come in to Asa, king of Judah.
