14:6 πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα, ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ·
καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ πόλεμος ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσιν τούτοις, ὅτι κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ κύριος. 		14:6 πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα, ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ·

11 [M 14:10] And Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, it is nothing with you to help, whether with many, or with those who have no power: help us, Oh Yahweh our Elohim; for we rest on you, and in your name we go against this multitude. Oh Yahweh, you are our God; don't let man prevail against you.”

14:11 καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἀσὰ πρὸς κύριον θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν κύριε, οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοί σῴζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις·
κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς, κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοί πεποίθαμεν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθαμεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο·
κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρὸς σὲ ἄνθρωπος. 		14:11 καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἀσὰ πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε·
Κύριε, οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοί σώζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις·
κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοί πεποίθαμεν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθομεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο·
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρός σε ἄνθρωπος.

Oh Lord our God, don't let man prevail against you.” 14:11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, “Oh Lord, it is not impossible with you to save by many or by few: strengthen us, Oh Lord our God; for we trust in you, and in your name have we come against this great multitude.

καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά. 		14:13 καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς Ἀσὰ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως Γεδώρ, καὶ ἔπεσον Αἰθίοπες ὥστε μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτοῖς περιποίησιν, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά.
