And he removed the altars of the foreigners and the high places and broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the sacred groves
And he said to Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandments.
And he removed from all the cities of Judah the altars and the idols, and he gave rest.
τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ιουδα ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ πόλεμος ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσιν τούτοις ὅτι κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ κύριος
walled cities in the land of Judah, because the land was at peace, and there was no war for him in these years, because the Lord had given him rest
εἶπεν τῷ Ιουδα οἰκοδομήσωμεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ ποιήσωμεν τείχη καὶ πύργους καὶ πύλας καὶ μοχλοὺς ἐν ᾧ τῆς γῆς κυριεύσομεν ὅτι καθὼς ἐξεζητήσαμεν κύριον θεὸν ἡμῶν ἐξεζήτησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἡμᾶς κυκλόθεν καὶ εὐόδωσεν ἡμῖν
And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities and make walls and towers and gates and bars in the land that we may rule it, because as we sought the Lord our God, he sought us and gave us rest round about and prospered us.
ἐγένετο τῷ Ασα δύναμις ὁπλοφόρων αἰρόντων θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα ἐν γῇ Ιουδα τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν πελτασταὶ καὶ τοξόται διακόσιαι καὶ πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες πάντες οὗτοι πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως
And there came to Asa a force of men bearing arms, lifting shields and spears, in the land of Judah three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin light-armed troops and archers, two hundred and fifty thousand; all these were mighty warriors.
ἐξῆλθεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς Ζαρε ὁ Αἰθίοψ ἐν δυνάμει ἐν χιλίαις χιλιάσιν καὶ ἅρμασιν τριακοσίοις καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως Μαρισα
And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them in force, in thousands of thousands and three hundred chariots, and he came as far as Marisa.
And Asa went out to meet him and drew up the battle in the valley north of Mareshah.
ἐβόησεν Ασα πρὸς κύριον θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν κύριε οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοὶ σῴζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πεποίθαμεν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθαμεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρὸς σὲ ἄνθρωπος
And Asa cried out to the Lord his God and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with you to save by many and by few; strengthen us, O Lord our God, for we have trusted in you, and in your name we have come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not a man prevail against you.
And the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled
κατεδίωξεν Ασα καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως Γεδωρ καὶ ἔπεσον Αἰθίοπες ὥστε μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτοῖς περιποίησιν ὅτι συνετρίβησαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά
And Asa and his people pursued them as far as Gedor, and the Ethiopians fell so that there was no recovery among them, because they were crushed before the Lord and before his force, and they plundered very much spoil.
ἐξέκοψαν τὰς κώμας αὐτῶν κύκλῳ Γεδωρ ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις κυρίου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ὅτι πολλὰ σκῦλα ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς
And they cut down their villages all around Geror, because there was a terror of the Lord upon them, and they plundered all their cities, because many spoils had become to them
γε σκηνὰς κτήσεων τοὺς Αμαζονεῖς ἐξέκοψαν καὶ ἔλαβον πρόβατα πολλὰ καὶ καμήλους καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ
And they cut off the tents of the possessions, the Amazons, and they took many sheep and camels and returned to Jerusalem
