Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

2 Chronicles 14
¹² So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
¹³ 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 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.
¹⁵ They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 15
¹ And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
² 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.
³ Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
⁴ But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
⁵ 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.
⁶ And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
⁷ Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
