14:013:017 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter:  so
           there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen
           men.

14:013:018 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time,
           and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon
           the lord God of their fathers.

14:013:019 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him,
           Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns
           thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.

14:013:020 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of
           Abijah:  and the lord struck him, and he died.

14:013:021 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat
           twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

14:013:022 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his
           sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

14:014:001 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.

14:014:002 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the
           lord his God: 

14:014:003 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high
           places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: 

14:014:004 And commanded Judah to seek the lord God of their fathers, and
           to do the law and the commandment.

14:014:005 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high
           places and the images:  and the kingdom was quiet before him.

14:014:006 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.

14:014:007 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.

14:014:008 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.

14:014:009 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an
           host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and
           came unto Mareshah.

14:014:010 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in
           array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
