1<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,<\/p>\n

4<\/strong> and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong> For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.<\/p>\n

8<\/strong> And Asa had an army that bare bucklers 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 valor.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong> And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong> Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.<\/p>\n

11<\/strong> And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.<\/p>\n

12<\/strong> So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.<\/p>\n

13<\/strong> And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.<\/p>\n

14<\/strong> And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.<\/p>\n

15<\/strong> They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"iawp_total_views":0},"tags":[197,171,170,173],"class_list":["post-22686","bible_chapter","type-bible_chapter","status-publish","hentry","tag-2-chronicles","tag-asv","tag-bible","tag-old-testament"],"yoast_head":"\n2 Chronicles Chapter 14 - Easy To Understand<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read 2 Chronicles Chapter 14 and share your prayer request.
