2 Chronicles 14:6 DBY

⁴  and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.

⁵  And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

⁶  And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest.

⁷  And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.

⁸  And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.
