2 Chronicles 14:1-8

1So AbijahH29 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. In his daysH3117 the landH776 was quietH8252 tenH6235 yearsH8141. 2And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430: 3For he took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 of the strangeH5236 gods, and the high placesH1116, and brake downH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842:1 4And commandedH559 JudahH3063 to seekH1875 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and to doH6213 the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687. 5Also he took awayH5493 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 the high placesH1116 and the imagesH2553: and the kingdomH4467 was quietH8252 beforeH6440 him.2

6And he builtH1129 fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: for the landH776 had restH8252, and he had no warH4421 in those yearsH8141; because YhwhH3068 had given him restH5117. 7Therefore he saidH559 unto JudahH3063, Let us buildH1129 these citiesH5892, and make aboutH5437 them wallsH2346, and towersH4026, gatesH1817, and barsH1280, while the landH776 is yet beforeH6440 us; because we have soughtH1875 YhwhH3068 our GodH430, we have soughtH1875 him, and he hath given us restH5117 on every sideH5439. So they builtH1129 and prosperedH6743. 8And AsaH609 had an armyH2428 of men that bareH5375 targetsH6793 and spearsH7420, out of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505; and out of BenjaminH1144, that bareH5375 shieldsH4043 and drewH1869 bowsH7198, two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505: all these were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
