- 又在猶大建造了幾座堅固城.國中太平數年、沒有戰爭、因為耶和華賜他平安。
- 他對猶大人說、我們要建造這些城邑、四圍築牆、蓋樓、安門、作閂.地還屬我們、是因尋求耶和華我們的 神.我們既尋求他、他就賜我們四境平安。於是建造城邑、諸事亨通。
- 亞撒的軍兵、出自猶大拿盾牌拿槍的三十萬人.出自便雅憫拿盾牌拉弓的二十八萬人.這都是大能的勇士。
- 有古實王謝拉率領軍兵一百萬、戰車三百輛、出來攻擊猶大人、到了瑪利沙。
- 於是亞撒出去、與他迎敵、就在瑪利沙的洗法谷、彼此擺陣。

- He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.
- For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.
- Now Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, bearing shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.
- Now Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
- So Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up in battle formation in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
