14:014:011 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 no man prevail against thee. 14:014:012 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 14:014:013 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. 14:014:014 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. 14:014:015 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. 14:015:001 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 14:015:002 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 14:015:003 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 14:015:004 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 14:015:005 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 14:015:006 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. 14:015:007 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 14:015:008 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD. 14:015:009 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 14:015:010 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
