*
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God :
*
For he took away the altars of the strange gods ,
and the high places ,
and brake down the images ,
and cut down the groves :
*
And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers ,
and to do the law and the commandment .
*
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images :
and the kingdom was quiet before him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand ,
and three hundred chariots ;
and came unto Mareshah .
*
Then Asa went out against him ,
and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah .
*
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 .
*
So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa ,
and before Judah ;
and the Ethiopians fled .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
They smote also the tents of cattle ,
and carried away sheep and camels in abundance ,
and returned to Jerusalem .
