2Ch 14:2And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
2Ch 14:3and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
2Ch 14:4and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
2Ch 14:5and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
2Ch 14:6And 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.
2Ch 14:7And 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.
2Ch 14:8And 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.

2Ch 14:10and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
2Ch 14:11And 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!
2Ch 14:12And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
2Ch 14:13and 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,
2Ch 14:14and 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;
2Ch 14:15and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
