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 was quiet ten years. |
14:2 | And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: |
14:3 | For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: |
14:4 | And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. |
14:5 | Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. |
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. |
14:7 | 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. |
14:8 | 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. |
14:9 | And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. |
14:10 | Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. |
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 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. |
14:12 | So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. |
14:13 | 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. |
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. |

14:14 | 又打破基拉耳四围的城邑。耶和华使其中的人都甚恐惧。犹大人又将所有的城掳掠一空,因其中的财物甚多, |
2ch:17:10 | And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. |
2ch:20:29 | And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel. |
gen:35:5 | And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. |
