And the kingdom was undisturbed under him. ⁶ He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and^d Lit there was not with him warthere was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest. ⁷ For he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still^e Lit before usours 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 Now Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, bearing shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.	3 Deu 7:5 Ki1 15:12-14 Exo 34:13 5 Ch2 34:4 Ch2 34:7 6 Ch2 11:5 Ch2 15:15 7 Ch2 8:5 8 Ch2 13:3

O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You.” ¹² So the LORD^g Lit struckrouted 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 Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that^h Or there was none left alivethey could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder. ¹⁴ Theyⁱ Lit smotedestroyed all the cities around Gerar, for the dread of the LORD had fallen on them; and they despoiled all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. ¹⁵ They also struck down^j Lit tents of livestockthose who owned livestock, and they carried away large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.	9 Ch2 12:2 Ch2 12:3 Ch2 16:8 Ch2 11:8 11 Ch2 13:14 Ch2 13:18 12 Ch2 13:15 13 Gen 10:19 14 Ch2 17:10
