亞撒王擊敗古實人
14 亞比雅與祖先同眠後，葬在大衛城中，他兒子亞撒繼位。亞撒執政期間，國中太平十年。 2 亞撒做他的上帝耶和華看為好、視為正的事， 3 拆除外族神明的邱壇和神廟，打碎神柱，砍倒亞舍拉神像， 4 命令猶大人尋求他們祖先的上帝耶和華，遵行祂的律法和誡命。 5 他除掉猶大各城邑的邱壇和香壇，那時國中太平。 6 他還在猶大修築堅城，那些年國中太平，沒有戰事，因為耶和華賜他平安。 7 他對猶大人說：「我們要修築城邑，在四周建造城牆和望樓，裝置大門和門閂。我們仍擁有這片土地，是因為我們尋求我們的上帝耶和華；我們尋求祂，祂就賜我們四境平安。」於是，他們修築城邑，凡事順利。 8 亞撒的軍隊中有三十萬持大盾牌和矛槍的猶大人，二十八萬持小盾牌和弓箭的便雅憫人。他們都是英勇的戰士。
9 古實王謝拉率領一百萬大軍和三百輛戰車攻打猶大，到了瑪利沙。 10 亞撒出兵迎敵，雙方在瑪利沙的洗法谷擺開陣勢。 11 亞撒呼求他的上帝耶和華說：「耶和華啊，唯有你才能幫助弱小的勝過強大的。我們的上帝耶和華啊，求你幫助我們，因為我們依靠你，奉你的名迎戰這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的上帝，不要讓人勝過你。」
12 於是，耶和華使古實人敗在亞撒和猶大人面前，古實人潰逃。 13 亞撒率領軍隊乘勝追擊，直追到基拉耳。古實人在耶和華和祂的軍兵面前大敗，傷亡慘重，一蹶不振。猶大人擄走了許多財物， 14 攻陷了基拉耳四周的城邑，因為這些城裡的人都懼怕耶和華。他們洗劫各城，因為城中有大量財物。 15 他們毀壞牲畜的圍欄，搶走許多羊和駱駝，然後返回耶路撒冷。
2 Chronicles 14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
14 And Abia 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.
2 And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
6 He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
7 And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
8 And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
9 And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
11 And he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee.
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
14 And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
