Втора Паралипоменон 14
Библия, синодално издание
14 (A)И почина Авия при отците си и го погребаха в Давидовия град. Вместо него се възцари син му Аса. В негови дни земята беше спокойна десет години.
2 (B)Аса вършеше, каквото беше добро и угодно в очите на своя Господ Бог:
3 (C)той премахна жертвениците на чуждите богове и оброчищата, строши статуите и изсече дъбравите;
4 и заповяда на иудеите да потърсят Господа, Бога на отците си, и да изпълняват закона (Му) и заповедите;
5 и премахна от всички градове Иудини оброчищата и статуите на слънцето. И царството беше спокойно при него.
6 И понеже беше спокойна земята, той построи крепости в Иудея; той не воюва през ония години, защото Господ му бе дал спокойствие.
7 И каза на иудеите: да съградим тия градове и да ги обиколим със стени и кули, с порти и заворки; земята е още наша, защото ние потърсихме Господа, нашия Бог; ние Го потърсихме и Той ни даде спокойствие от всички страни. И почнаха да градят, и успяваха.
8 Военната сила на Аса беше: от Иудино коляно триста хиляди въоръжени с щитове и копия, от Вениаминово коляно двеста и осемдесет хиляди юнаци, въоръжени с щитове и стрелящи с лък.
9 (D)И дигна се против тях Зарай, етиопец, с хиляда хиляди войска и триста колесници, и стигна до Мареша.
10 Излезе Аса насреща му, и се наредиха за битка в Цефатската долина при Мареша.
11 (E)Викна Аса към Господа, своя Бог, и рече: Господи, нали е в Твоя сила да помагаш на силни и слаби? Тогава помогни нам, Господи, Боже наш, защото ние на Тебе се уповаваме и в Твое име излязохме против това множество, Господи, Ти си наш Бог: да не бъде човек посилен от Тебе.
12 (F)И Господ порази етиопци пред Аса и пред Иуда, и етиопци побягнаха.
13 Аса пък и народът с него ги гони до Герар; етиопци паднаха толкова, че ни един не остана жив, защото бяха поразени пред Господа и пред неговото войнство. И събраха твърде голяма плячка.
14 (G)И разрушиха всички градове около Герар, защото ужас от Господа връхлетя върху им; и разграбиха всички градове и изнесоха от тях твърде голяма плячка.
15 Разрушиха и пастирските колиби, откараха много стада дребен добитък и ка мили, и се върнаха в Иерусалим.

New King James Version
Asa Reigns over Judah
14 So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then (A)Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.
Asa Reigns in Judah(B)
2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God, 3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and (C)the [a]high places, and (D)broke down the sacred pillars (E)and cut down the wooden images. 4 He commanded Judah to (F)seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment. 5 He also removed the [b]high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him. 6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the Lord had given him (G)rest. 7 Therefore he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, 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. 8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who carried [c]shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew (H)bows; all these were mighty men of (I)valor.
9 (J)Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to (K)Mareshah. 10 So Asa went out against him, and they set the troops in battle array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 And Asa (L)cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, it is (M)nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and (N)in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!”
12 So the Lord (O)struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. 13 And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to (P)Gerar. So the Ethiopians were overthrown, and they could not recover, for they were broken before the Lord and His army. And they carried away very much [d]spoil. 14 Then they defeated all the cities around Gerar, for (Q)the fear of the Lord came upon them; and they plundered all the cities, for there was exceedingly much [e]spoil in them. 15 They also [f]attacked the livestock enclosures, and carried off sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

Asa Reigns in Judah
14 [a] (A)Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land had rest for ten years. 2 [b] And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He took away the foreign altars (B)and the high places and broke down (C)the pillars and cut down the (D)Asherim 4 and commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment. 5 He also took out of all the cities of Judah (E)the high places and the (F)incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him. 6 He built (G)fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, (H)for the Lord gave him peace. 7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with (I)walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the Lord our God. We have sought him, (J)and he has given us peace on every side.” So they built and prospered. 8 And Asa had an army of (K)300,000 from Judah, armed with large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin that carried shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
9 Zerah (L)the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and came as far as (M)Mareshah. 10 And Asa went out to meet him, and (N)they drew up their lines of battle in the Valley of Zephathah at (O)Mareshah. 11 And Asa (P)cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, (Q)for we rely on you, (R)and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.” 12 (S)So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. 13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as (T)Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah[c] carried away very much spoil. 14 And they attacked all the cities around (U)Gerar, (V)for the fear of the Lord was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. 15 And they struck down the tents of those who had livestock and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
