King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. So Abijah[H29] slept[H7901] with[H5973] 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] In his days[H3117] the land[H776] was quiet[H8252] ten[H6235] years.[H8141]

2. And Asa[H609] did[H6213] that which was good[H2896] and right[H3477] in the eyes[H5869] of the LORD[H3068] his God: [H430]

3. For he took away[H5493] [H853] the altars[H4196] of the strange[H5236] gods, and the high places,[H1116] and broke down[H7665] [H853] the images,[H4676] and cut down[H1438] [H853] the groves: [H842]

4. And commanded[H559] Judah[H3063] to seek[H1875] [H853] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of their fathers,[H1] and to do[H6213] the law[H8451] and the commandment.[H4687]

5. Also he took away[H5493] out of all[H4480] [H3605] the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063] [H853] the high places[H1116] and the images:[H2553] and the kingdom[H4467] was quiet[H8252] before[H6440] him.

6. And he built[H1129] fenced[H4694] cities[H5892] in Judah:[H3063] for[H3588] the land[H776] had rest,[H8252] and he had no[H369] war[H4421] in those[H428] years;[H8141] because[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had given him rest.[H5117]

7. Therefore he said[H559] unto Judah,[H3063] Let us build[H1129] [H853] these[H428] cities,[H5892] and make about[H5437] them walls,[H2346] and towers,[H4026] gates,[H1817] and bars,[H1280] while the land[H776] is yet[H5750] before[H6440] us; because[H3588] we have sought[H1875] [H853] the LORD[H3068] our God,[H430] we have sought[H1875] him, and he hath given us rest[H5117] on every side.[H4480] [H5439] So they built[H1129] and prospered.[H6743]

8. And Asa[H609] had[H1961] an army[H2428] of men that bore[H5375] targets[H6793] and spears,[H7420] out of[H4480] Judah[H3063] three[H7969] hundred[H3967] thousand;[H505] and out of Benjamin,[H4480] [H1144] that bore[H5375] shields[H4043] and drew[H1869] bows,[H7198] two hundred[H3967] and fourscore[H8084] thousand:[H505] all[H3605] these[H428] were mighty men[H1368] of valor.[H2428]

9. And there came out[H3318] against[H413] them Zerah[H2226] the Ethiopian[H3569] with a host[H2428] of a thousand[H505] thousand,[H505] and three[H7969] hundred[H3967] chariots;[H4818] and came[H935] unto[H5704] Mareshah.[H4762]

10. Then Asa[H609] went out[H3318] against[H6440] him, and they set the battle in array[H6186] [H4421] in the valley[H1516] of Zephathah[H6859] at Mareshah.[H4762]

11. And Asa[H609] cried[H7121] unto[H413] the LORD[H3068] his God,[H430] and said,[H559] LORD,[H3068] it is nothing[H369] with[H5973] thee to help,[H5826] whether[H996] with many,[H7227] or with them that have no[H369] power:[H3581] help[H5826] us, O LORD[H3068] our God;[H430] for[H3588] we rest[H8172] on[H5921] thee, and in thy name[H8034] we go[H935] against[H5921] this[H2088] multitude.[H1995] O LORD,[H3068] thou[H859] art our God;[H430] let not[H408] man[H582] prevail[H6113] against[H5973] thee.

12. So the LORD[H3068] smote[H5062] [H853] the Ethiopians[H3569] before[H6440] Asa,[H609] and before[H6440] Judah;[H3063] and the Ethiopians[H3569] fled.[H5127]

13. And Asa[H609] and the people[H5971] that[H834] were with[H5973] him pursued[H7291] them unto[H5704] Gerar:[H1642] and the Ethiopians[H4480] [H3569] were overthrown,[H5307] that they could not[H369] recover[H4241] themselves; for[H3588] they were destroyed[H7665] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] and before[H6440] his host;[H4264] and they carried away[H5375] very[H3966] much[H7235] spoil.[H7998]

14. And they smote[H5221] [H853] all[H3605] the cities[H5892] round about[H5439] Gerar;[H1642] for[H3588] the fear[H6343] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] upon[H5921] them: and they spoiled[H962] [H853] all[H3605] the cities;[H5892] for[H3588] there was[H1961] exceeding much[H7227] spoil[H961] in them.

15. They smote[H5221] also[H1571] the tents[H168] of cattle,[H4735] and carried away[H7617] sheep[H6629] and camels[H1581] in abundance,[H7230] and returned[H7725] to Jerusalem.[H3389]
