2nd Chronicles Chapter 14 - King James Strong Number Version

1
So Abijah <H0029> slept <H7901> with his fathers, <H0001> and they buried <H6912> him in the city <H5892> of David: <H1732> and Asa <H0609> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead. In his days <H3117> the land <H0776> was quiet <H8252> ten <H6235> years. <H8141>
2
And Asa <H0609> did <H6213> [that which was] good <H2896> and right <H3477> in the eyes <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> his God: <H0430>
3
For he took away <H5493> the altars <H4196> of the strange <H5236> [gods], and the high places, <H1116> and brake down <H7665> the images, <H4676> and cut down <H1438> the groves: <H0842>
4
And commanded <H0559> Judah <H3063> to seek <H1875> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of their fathers, <H0001> and to do <H6213> the law <H8451> and the commandment. <H4687>
5
Also he took away <H5493> out of all the cities <H5892> of Judah <H3063> the high places <H1116> and the images: <H2553> and the kingdom <H4467> was quiet <H8252> before <H6440> him.
6
And he built <H1129> fenced <H4694> cities <H5892> in Judah: <H3063> for the land <H0776> had rest, <H8252> and he had no war <H4421> in those years; <H8141> because the LORD <H3068> had given him rest. <H5117>
7
Therefore he said <H0559> unto Judah, <H3063> Let us build <H1129> these cities, <H5892> and make about <H5437> [them] walls, <H2346> and towers, <H4026> gates, <H1817> and bars, <H1280> [while] the land <H0776> [is] yet before <H6440> us; because we have sought <H1875> the LORD <H3068> our God, <H0430> we have sought <H1875> [him], and he hath given us rest <H5117> on every side. <H5439> So they built <H1129> and prospered. <H6743>
8
And Asa <H0609> had an army <H2428> [of men] that bare <H5375> targets <H6793> and spears, <H7420> out of Judah <H3063> three <H7969> hundred <H3967> thousand; <H0505> and out of Benjamin, <H1144> that bare <H5375> shields <H4043> and drew <H1869> bows, <H7198> two hundred <H3967> and fourscore <H8084> thousand: <H0505> all these [were] mighty men <H1368> of valour. <H2428>
9
And there came out <H3318> against them Zerah <H2226> the Ethiopian <H3569> with an host <H2428> of a thousand <H0505> thousand, <H0505> and three <H7969> hundred <H3967> chariots; <H4818> and came <H0935> unto Mareshah. <H4762>
10
Then Asa <H0609> went out <H3318> against <H6440> him, and they set the battle <H4421> in array <H6186> in the valley <H1516> of Zephathah <H6859> at Mareshah. <H4762>
11
And Asa <H0609> cried <H7121> unto the LORD <H3068> his God, <H0430> and said, <H0559> LORD, <H3068> [it is] nothing with thee to help, <H5826> whether <H0996> with many, <H7227> or with them that have no power: <H3581> help <H5826> us, O LORD <H3068> our God; <H0430> for we rest <H8172> on thee, and in thy name <H8034> we go <H0935> against this multitude. <H1995> O LORD, <H3068> thou [art] our God; <H0430> let not man <H0582> prevail <H6113> against thee.
12
So the LORD <H3068> smote <H5062> the Ethiopians <H3569> before <H6440> Asa, <H0609> and before <H6440> Judah; <H3063> and the Ethiopians <H3569> fled. <H5127>
13
And Asa <H0609> and the people <H5971> that [were] with him pursued <H7291> them unto Gerar: <H1642> and the Ethiopians <H3569> were overthrown, <H5307> that they could not recover <H4241> themselves; for they were destroyed <H7665> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and before <H6440> his host; <H4264> and they carried away <H5375> very <H3966> much <H7235> spoil. <H7998>
14
And they smote <H5221> all the cities <H5892> round about <H5439> Gerar; <H1642> for the fear <H6343> of the LORD <H3068> came upon them: and they spoiled <H0962> all the cities; <H5892> for there was exceeding much <H7227> spoil <H0961> in them.
15
They smote <H5221> also the tents <H0168> of cattle, <H4735> and carried away <H7617> sheep <H6629> and camels <H1581> in abundance, <H7230> and returned <H7725> to Jerusalem. <H3389>
