And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Judah{gr.Juda} had rest ten years. |
|
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 he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God. |
|
14:2
And Asa°
did°°
[that which was] good°
and right°
in the eyes°
of Yahweh°
his Elohim:° |
|
14:3
And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves: |
|
14:3
For he took away°°°
the altars°
of the strange°
[elohim], and the high places,°
and brake down°°°
the images,°
and cut down°°°
the groves:° |
|
14:4
and he told Judah{gr.Juda} to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments. |
|
14:4
And commanded°°
Judah°
to seek°°°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of their fathers,°
and to do°°
the law°
and the commandment.° |
|
14:5
And he removed from all the cities of Judah{gr.Juda} the altars and the idols, and established in quietness |
|
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 ¶
fortified cities in the land of Judah{gr.Juda}; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest. |
|
14:6 ¶
And he built°°
fenced°
cities°
in Judah:°
for°
the land°
had rest,°°
and he had no°
war°
in those°
years;°
because°
Yahweh°
had given him rest.°° |
|
14:7
And he said to Judah{gr.Juda}, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us. |
|
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°°°
Yahweh°
our Elohim,°
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.° |
|

against°
them Zerah°

him, and they set the battle°

at Mareshah.° |
|
14:11
And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with thee to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in thee, and in thy name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against thee. |
|
14:11
And Asa°
cried°°
unto°
Yahweh°
his Elohim,°
and said,°°
Yahweh,°
[it is] nothing°
with°
thee to help,°°
whether°
with many,°
or with them that have no°
power:°
help°°
us, O Yahweh°
our Elohim;°
for°
we rest°°
on°
thee, and in thy name°
we go°°
against°
this°
multitude.°
O Yahweh,°
thou°
[art] our Elohim;°
let not°
man°
prevail°°
against°
thee. |
|

and before°
Judah;°
and the Ethiopians°
fled.°° |

And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils. |
|
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°
Yahweh,°
and before°
his host;°
and they carried away°°
very°
much°°
spoil.° |
|
14:14
And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil. |
|
14:14
And they smote°°°
all°
the cities°
round about°
Gerar;°
for°
the fear°
of Yahweh°
came°
upon°
them: and they spoiled°°°
all°
the cities;°
for°
there was°
exceeding much°
spoil°
in them. |
|
14:15
Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem. |
