2 Chronicles



The second book of the Chronicles, chapter 14, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 14

Vulgate


   1 Fecit autem Asa, quod bo num et placitum erat in con spectu Domini Dei sui, et subvertit altaria peregrini cultus et excelsa
   2 et confregit lapides palosque succidit
   3 ac praecepit Iudae, ut quaereret Dominum, Deum patrum suorum, et faceret legem et universa mandata,
   4 et abstulit e cunctis urbibus Iudae excelsa et thymiateria et regnavit in pace.
   5 Aedificavit quoque urbes munitas in Iuda, quia quievit terra, et nulla temporibus eius bella surrexerant, pacem Domino ei largiente.
   6 Dixit autem Iudae: "Aedificemus civitates istas et vallemus muris et roboremus turribus et portis et seris, donec a bellis quieta sunt omnia; quia quaesivimus Dominum Deum nostrum, quaesivit nos et dedit nobis pacem per gyrum". Aedificaverunt igitur et prosperati sunt.
   7 Habuit autem Asa exercitum portantium scuta et hastas de Iuda trecenta milia, de Beniamin vero scutariorum et sagittariorum ducenta octoginta milia; omnes isti viri fortissimi.
   8 Egressus est autem contra eos Zara Aethiops cum exercitu, decies centena milia et curribus trecentis, et venit usque Maresa.
   9 Porro Asa perrexit obviam ei, et instruxerunt aciem ad bellum in valle, quae est ad septentrionem Maresa,
   10 et invocavit Asa Dominum Deum suum et ait: "Domine, non est apud te ulla distantia, utrum paucis auxilieris an pluribus; adiuva nos, Domine Deus noster. In te enim et in tuo nomine habentes fiduciam venimus contra hanc multitudinem. Domine, Deus noster tu es, non praevaleat contra te homo".
   11 Exterruit itaque Dominus Aethiopes coram Asa et Iuda; fugeruntque Aethiopes.
   12 Et persecutus est eos Asa et populus, qui cum eo erat, usque Gerar; et ruerunt Aethiopes usque ad internecionem, quia Domino caedente contriti sunt et exercitu illius proeliante. Tulerunt ergo spolia multa
   13 et percusserunt omnes civitates per circuitum Gerarae; terror quippe Domini eos invaserat. Et diripuerunt omnes urbes et multam praedam asportaverunt.
   14 Sed et caulas ovium destruentes tulerunt pecorum infinitam multitudinem et camelorum reversique sunt Ierusalem.

King James Version


   1 So Abijah 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 right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
   3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
   4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
   5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
   6 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
   7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, 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 hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
   8 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.
   9 ¶ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.
   10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
   11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
   12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
   13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
   14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
   15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
