KJV

1  So Abijah²⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸ In his days³¹¹⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ was quiet⁸²⁵² ten⁶²³⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ did⁶²¹³ that which was good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God:⁴³⁰

3  For he took away^{5493 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ of the strange⁵²³⁶ gods, and the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and broke down^{7665 853} the images,⁴⁶⁷⁶ and cut down^{1438 853} the groves:⁸⁴²

4  And commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and to do⁶²¹³ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ and the commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷

5  Also he took away⁵⁴⁹³ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah^{3063 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and the images:²⁵⁵³ and the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was quiet⁸²⁵² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

6  And he built¹¹²⁹ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest,⁸²⁵² and he had no³⁶⁹ war⁴⁴²¹ in those⁴²⁸ years;⁸¹⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given him rest.⁵¹¹⁷

7  Therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Judah,³⁰⁶³ Let us build^{1129 853} these⁴²⁸ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and make about⁵⁴³⁷ them walls,²³⁴⁶ and towers,⁴⁰²⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars,¹²⁸⁰ while the land⁷⁷⁶ is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us; because³⁵⁸⁸ we have sought^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ we have sought¹⁸⁷⁵ him, and he hath given us rest⁵¹¹⁷ on every side.^{4480 5439} So they built¹¹²⁹ and prospered.⁶⁷⁴³

8  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ had¹⁹⁶¹ an army²⁴²⁸ of men that bore⁵³⁷⁵ targets⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Judah³⁰⁶³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and out of Benjamin,^{4480 1144} that bore⁵³⁷⁵ shields⁴⁰⁴³ and drew¹⁸⁶⁹ bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

9  And there came out³³¹⁸ against⁴¹³ them Zerah²²²⁶ the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ with a host²⁴²⁸ of a thousand⁵⁰⁵ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots;⁴⁸¹⁸ and came⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

10  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ went out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, and they set the battle in array^{6186 4421} in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of Zephathah⁶⁸⁵⁹ at Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

11  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ cried⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ it is nothing³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee to help,⁵⁸²⁶ whether⁹⁹⁶ with many,⁷²²⁷ or with them that have no³⁶⁹ power:³⁵⁸¹ help⁵⁸²⁶ us, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ we rest⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ thee, and in thy name⁸⁰³⁴ we go⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ multitude.¹⁹⁹⁵ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art our God;⁴³⁰ let not⁴⁰⁸ man⁵⁸² prevail⁶¹¹³ against⁵⁹⁷³ thee.

12  So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote^{5062 853} the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ fled.⁵¹²⁷

13  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ were with⁵⁹⁷³ him pursued⁷²⁹¹ them unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Gerar:¹⁶⁴² and the Ethiopians^{4480 3569} were overthrown,⁵³⁰⁷ that they could not³⁶⁹ recover⁴²⁴¹ themselves; for³⁵⁸⁸ they were destroyed⁷⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his host;⁴²⁶⁴ and they carried away⁵³⁷⁵ very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ spoil.⁷⁹⁹⁸

14  And they smote^{5221 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² round about⁵⁴³⁹ Gerar;¹⁶⁴² for³⁵⁸⁸ the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: and they spoiled^{962 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities;⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ exceeding much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁹⁶¹ in them.

15  They smote⁵²²¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ the tents¹⁶⁸ of cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

1 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ ἀπέστησεν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ συνέτριψεν τὰς στήλας καὶ ἐξέκοψεν τὰ ἄλση

3 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιουδα ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ ποιῆσαι τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς

4 καὶ ἀπέστησεν ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ιουδα τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ εἰρήνευσεν

5 πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ιουδα ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ πόλεμος ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσιν τούτοις ὅτι κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ κύριος

6 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιουδα οἰκοδομήσωμεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ ποιήσωμεν τείχη καὶ πύργους καὶ πύλας καὶ μοχλοὺς ἐν ᾧ τῆς γῆς κυριεύσομεν ὅτι καθὼς ἐξεζητήσαμεν κύριον θεὸν ἡμῶν ἐξεζήτησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἡμᾶς κυκλόθεν καὶ εὐόδωσεν ἡμῖν

7 καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ Ασα δύναμις ὁπλοφόρων αἰρόντων θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα ἐν γῇ Ιουδα τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν πελτασταὶ καὶ τοξόται διακόσιαι καὶ πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες πάντες οὗτοι πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως

8 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς Ζαρε ὁ Αἰθίοψ ἐν δυνάμει ἐν χιλίαις χιλιάσιν καὶ ἅρμασιν τριακοσίοις καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως Μαρισα

9 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ασα εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ παρετάξατο πόλεμον ἐν τῇ φάραγγι κατὰ βορρᾶν Μαρισης

10 καὶ ἐβόησεν Ασα πρὸς κύριον θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν κύριε οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοὶ σῴζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πεποίθαμεν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθαμεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρὸς σὲ ἄνθρωπος

11 καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τοὺς Αἰθίοπας ἐναντίον Ιουδα καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ Αἰθίοπες

12 καὶ κατεδίωξεν Ασα καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως Γεδωρ καὶ ἔπεσον Αἰθίοπες ὥστε μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτοῖς περιποίησιν ὅτι συνετρίβησαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά

13 καὶ ἐξέκοψαν τὰς κώμας αὐτῶν κύκλῳ Γεδωρ ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις κυρίου ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ὅτι πολλὰ σκῦλα ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς

14 καί γε σκηνὰς κτήσεων τοὺς Αμαζονεῖς ἐξέκοψαν καὶ ἔλαβον πρόβατα πολλὰ καὶ καμήλους καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

1 Dormivit autem Abia cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Asa filius ejus pro eo, in cujus diebus quievit terra annis decem.

2 Fecit autem Asa quod bonum et placitum erat in conspectu Dei sui, et subvertit altaria peregrini cultus, et excelsa.

3 Et confregit statuas, lucosque succidit:

4 et præcepit Judæ ut quæreret Dominum Deum patrum suorum, et faceret legem, et universa mandata:

5 et abstulit de cunctis urbibus Juda aras et fana, et regnavit in pace.

6 Ædificavit quoque urbes munitas in Juda, quia quietus erat, et nulla temporibus ejus bella surrexerant, pacem Domino largiente.

7 Dixit autem Judæ: Ædificemus civitates istas, et vallemus muris, et roboremus turribus, et portis, et seris, donec a bellis quieta sunt omnia, eo quod quæsierimus Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum, et dederit nobis pacem per gyrum. Ædificaverunt igitur, et nullum in exstruendo impedimentum fuit.

8 Habuit autem Asa in exercitu suo portantium scuta et hastas de Juda trecenta millia, de Benjamin vero scutariorum et sagittariorum ducenta octoginta millia: omnes isti viri fortissimi.

9 Egressus est autem contra eos Zara Æthiops cum exercitu suo, decies centena millia, et curribus trecentis: et venit usque Maresa.

10 Porro Asa perrexit obviam ei, et instruxit aciem ad bellum in valle Sephata, quæ est juxta Maresa:

11 et invocavit Dominum Deum, et ait: Domine, non est apud te ulla distantia, utrum in paucis auxilieris, an in pluribus. Adjuva nos, Domine Deus noster: in te enim, et in tuo nomine habentes fiduciam, venimus contra hanc multitudinem. Domine, Deus noster tu es: non prævaleat contra te homo.

12 Exterruit itaque Dominus Æthiopes coram Asa et Juda: fugeruntque Æthiopes.

13 Et persecutus est eos Asa, et populus qui cum eo erat, usque Gerara: et ruerunt Æthiopes usque ad internecionem, quia Domino cædente contriti sunt, et exercitu illius præliante. Tulerunt ergo spolia multa,

14 et percusserunt civitates omnes per circuitum Geraræ: grandis quippe cunctos terror invaserat: et diripuerunt urbes, et multam prædam asportaverunt.

15 Sed et caulas ovium destruentes, tulerunt pecorum infinitam multitudinem, et camelorum: reversique sunt in Jerusalem.
