Young's Literal Translation
Then
Abijah rested
with his fathers and was
buried
in the City of David .
And his son Asa
reigned
in his place,
and
in his days the land was
at
peace
for
ten years.
And
Abijah lieth
with his fathers ,
and they
bury
him
in the city of David ,
and reign
doth
Asa
his son in his stead:
in his days was
the land quiet
ten years.
And Asa did
what
was
good and right in the eyes of the
LORD
his God .
And Asa doth
that
which
is
good ,
and that
which
is
right ,
in the eyes of Jehovah
his God ,
He
removed
the foreign
altars and high places, shattered
the sacred
pillars, and chopped
down the Asherah
poles.
and
turneth
aside
the altars of
the
stranger,
and the
high places, and
breaketh
the standing-
pillars, and cutteth
down the shrines,
He
commanded
the
people
of
Judah to seek the
LORD
, the
God of their fathers, and to observe
the law and the commandments.
and
saith
to
Judah to seek Jehovah
, God of their fathers, and to do
the law and the command;
He also
removed
the high places and incense
altars
from
all
the cities
of
Judah
, and under
him
the kingdom was
at
peace
.
and
he turneth
aside
out
of
all
cities
of
Judah
the high places and the images
, and the kingdom is
quiet
before
him
.
Because
the
land
was
at
peace,
Asa
built
fortified
cities in Judah .
In
those
days
no one
made
war with him, because the
LORD
had
given him
rest.
And
he
buildeth
cities of
bulwarks
in Judah ,
for
the
land
hath
quiet,
and
there
is
no war with him in
these
years
, because Jehovah
hath
given rest to
him
.
So
he said
to the
people
of
Judah, “
Let us build these cities and surround
them with walls
and towers, with
doors and bars .
The land is still
ours
because we have sought the
LORD
our God .
We have sought Him
and He has
given
us
rest on
every
side.”
So
they built
and prospered
.
And
he saith
to Judah, `
Let us build these cities ,
and compass
`
them '
with wall,
and towers, two-leaved
doors ,
and bars ,
while
the land `
is '
before
us,
because we have sought Jehovah
our God ,
we have sought ,
and He giveth
rest to
us
round
about;'
and
they build
and prosper
.
Asa had
an
army
of
300,000
men
from
Judah
bearing large
shields
and spears
, and
280
, 000
men
from
Benjamin bearing small
shields
and drawing
the
bow .
All these were
mighty men
of valor
.
And
there
is
to
Asa a
force
bearing target
and spear
, out
of
Judah
three
hundred
thousand
, and
out
of
Benjamin ,
bearing shield
and treading
bow ,
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand:
all these `are'
mighty of valour
.
Then
Zerah the Cushite came
against
them
with an
army
of 1,000
, 000
men
and 300
chariots, and they
advanced
as
far
as
Mareshah .
And
come
out
unto
them
doth
Zerah the Cushite with a
force
of a
thousand
thousand
, and chariots three
hundred
, and he
cometh
in
unto
Mareshah ,
So
Asa marched
out against
him and lined
up
in
battle formation
in the Valley of Zephathah near
Mareshah.
and
Asa goeth
out before
him ,
and they
set
battle in array
in
the valley of Zephathah at
Mareshah.
Then
Asa cried
out
to
the
LORD
his God :
“O
LORD
, there
is no
one
besides
You
to help the
powerless
against
the mighty .
Help us, O LORD
our God, for we
rely
on You
, and in Your
name we have come against this multitude .
O LORD
, You
are
our God .
Do
not
let a
mere
mortal
prevail against
You.”
And
Asa calleth
unto
Jehovah
his God, and
saith,
`Jehovah!
it
is nothing
with
Thee
to help ,
between
the mighty and
those
who
have
no
power;
help us, O Jehovah,
our God, for on Thee
we
have
leant
, and in Thy
name we have come against this multitude ;
O Jehovah
, our God thou
`art';
let him
not
prevail with
Thee
--
mortal
man!
So
the
LORD
struck
down
the Cushites
before Asa and Judah, and the Cushites
fled.
And
Jehovah
smiteth
the Cushim
before Asa ,
and before
Judah, and the Cushim
flee,
Then
Asa and his
army
pursued
them as
far
as
Gerar .
The
Cushites
fell
and could
not
recover
, for they were
crushed
before the
LORD
and His army.
So
the
people
of
Judah
carried
off
a
great
amount
of
plunder
and
Asa and the
people
who
`are'
with
him
pursue
them even
to
Gerar ,
and there
fall
of
the
Cushim
, for they have
no
preserving,
because
they
have
been
broken
before Jehovah,
and before
His camp;
and
they
bear
away
very
much
spoil,
and attacked
all the cities around
Gerar, because
the
terror
of the
LORD
had
fallen
upon them .
They plundered
all the cities, since
there
was
much
plunder
there.
and smite
all the cities round
about
Gerar, for
a
fear
of Jehovah
hath
been
upon them ,
and
they spoil
all the cities, for
abundant
spoil
hath
been
in
them;
They
also attacked
the
tents of the
herdsmen
and carried
off
many
sheep and camels .
Then
they
returned
to Jerusalem.
and
also tents of cattle
they
have
smitten,
and they
capture
sheep in
abundance,
and camels ,
and
turn
back
to Jerusalem.
