2 Chronicles 14:13 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 When Abijah died, they buried him in the City of David. Abijah's son Asa became the new king after him. There was peace in the country for ten years in Asa's time.
2 Asa did what the Lord his God said was good and right.
3 He took away the altars of the foreigners and the high places. He also smashed the memorial stones and cut down the Asherah poles.
4 He commanded the people of Judah to follow the Lord, the God their ancestors followed. And he commanded them to obey the Lord's laws and commandments.
5 He also removed all the high places and incense altars from all the towns in Judah. So the kingdom had peace when Asa was king.
6 Asa built strong cities in Judah while there was peace in Judah. He had no war in these years because the Lord gave him peace.
7 Asa said to the people of Judah, "Let's build these towns and make walls around them. Let's make towers, gates, and bars in the gates. Let's do this while we still live in this country. This country is ours because we have followed the Lord our God. He has given us peace all around us." So they built and had success.
8 Asa had an army of 300,000 men from the tribe of Judah and 280,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin. The men from Judah carried large shields and spears. The men from Benjamin carried small shields and shot arrows from bows. All of them were strong and brave soldiers.
9 Then Zerah from Ethiopia came out against Asa's army. He had 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots in his army. His army went as far as the town of Mareshah.
10 Asa went out to fight against Zerah. Asa's army got ready for battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Asa called out to the Lord his God and said, "Lord, only you can help weak people against strong people! Help us, Lord our God! We depend on you. We fight against this large army in your name. Lord, you are our God! Don't let anyone win against you!"
12 Then the Lord used Asa's army from Judah to defeat the Ethiopian army. And the army ran away.
13 Asa's army chased the Ethiopian army all the way to the town of Gerar. So many Ethiopians were killed that they could not get together as an army to fight again. They were crushed by the Lord and his army. Asa and his army carried many valuable things away from the enemy.
14 Asa and his army defeated all the towns near Gerar. The people living in those towns were afraid of the Lord. Those towns had very many valuable things. Asa's army took those valuable things away from those towns.
15 His army also attacked the camps where the shepherds lived and took many sheep and camels. Then they went back to Jerusalem.
1 So Abijah H29 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732 : and Asa H609 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 PREP-3MS . In his days H3117 the land H776 D-GFS was quiet H8252 ten H6235 MFS years H8141 .
2 And Asa H609 did H6213 W-VQY3MS that which was good H2896 D-NMS and right H3477 in the eyes H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 :
3 For he took away H5493 W-VHY3MS the altars H4196 of the strange H5236 gods , and the high places H1116 , and broke down H7665 the images H4676 , and cut down H1438 the groves H842 :
4 And commanded H559 W-VQY3MS Judah H3063 to seek H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 , and to do H6213 the law H8451 and the commandment H4687 .
5 Also he took away H5493 W-VHY3MS out of all H3605 M-CMS the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 the high places H1116 and the images H2553 : and the kingdom H4467 was quiet H8252 before H6440 him .
6 And he built H1129 W-VQY3MS fenced H4694 cities H5892 in Judah H3063 : for H3588 CONJ the land H776 D-GFS had rest H8252 , and he had no H369 W-NPAR war H4421 NFS in those H428 D-DPRO-3MP years H8141 ; because H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS had given him rest H5117 .
7 Therefore he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Judah H3063 , Let us build H1129 VQI1MS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP cities H5892 , and make about H5437 them walls H2346 , and towers H4026 , gates H1817 , and bars H1280 , while the land H776 D-GFS is yet H5750 before H6440 us ; because H3588 CONJ we have sought H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 , we have sought H1875 him , and he hath given us rest H5117 on every side H5439 M-ADV . So they built H1129 and prospered H6743 .
8 And Asa H609 had H1961 W-VQY3MS an army H2428 NMS of men that bore H5375 targets H6793 and spears H7420 , out of H4480 Judah H3063 three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP thousand H505 W-BMS ; and out of Benjamin H1144 , that bore H5375 shields H4043 NMS and drew H1869 bows H7198 CFS , two hundred H3967 MFD and fourscore H8084 W-MMP thousand H505 MMS : all H3605 NMS these H428 PMP were mighty men H1368 of valor H2428 NMS .
9 And there came out H3318 W-VQY3MS against H413 PREP-3MP them Zerah H2226 the Ethiopian H3569 with a host H2428 of a thousand H505 W-BMS thousand H505 MMP , and three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP chariots H4818 ; and came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H5704 PREP Mareshah H4762 .
10 Then Asa H609 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS against H6440 L-CMP-3MS him , and they set the battle in array H6186 W-VQY3MP in the valley H1516 of Zephathah H6859 at Mareshah H4762 .
11 And Asa H609 cried H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 CMP-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , LORD H3068 EDS , it is nothing H369 ADV with H5973 PREP-2MS thee to help H5826 , whether H996 PREP with many H7227 AMS , or with them that have no H369 power H3581 CMS : help H5826 us , O LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 ; for H3588 CONJ we rest H8172 on H5921 PREP thee , and in thy name H8034 we go H935 against H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS multitude H1995 . O LORD H3068 EDS , thou H859 PPRO-2MS art our God H430 ; let not H408 NPAR man H582 prevail H6113 VQY3MS against H5973 PREP-2MS thee .
12 So the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5062 the Ethiopians H3569 before H6440 L-CMP Asa H609 , and before H6440 L-CMP Judah H3063 ; and the Ethiopians H3569 fled H5127 W-VQY3MP .
13 And Asa H609 and the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H5973 PREP-3MS him pursued H7291 them unto H5704 PREP Gerar H1642 : and the Ethiopians H3569 were overthrown H5307 W-VQY3MS , that they could not H369 recover H4241 themselves ; for H3588 CONJ they were destroyed H7665 before H6440 the LORD H3068 EDS , and before H6440 WL-CMP his host H4264 ; and they carried away H5375 W-VQY3MP very H3966 ADV much H7235 VHFA spoil H7998 .
14 And they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 round about H5439 ADV Gerar H1642 ; for H3588 CONJ the fear H6343 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS upon H5921 PREP-3MP them : and they spoiled H962 all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 ; for H3588 CONJ there was H1961 VQQ3FS exceeding much H7227 AFS spoil H961 in them .
15 They smote H5221 VHQ3MP also H1571 W-CONJ the tents H168 of cattle H4735 NMS , and carried away H7617 sheep H6629 NMS and camels H1581 in abundance H7230 LD-NMS , and returned H7725 W-VUY3MP to Jerusalem H3389 .
