2 Chronicles 14:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Asa said to Judah, “We will build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, and barred gates. The land before us is still ours, because we have sought the Lord our God. We sought him, and he has given us peace all around.”

So they built and prospered.

⁸ Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men from Judah, who carried large shields and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand men from Benjamin, who carried shields and were armed with bows. These were all strong, powerful warriors.

⁹ Zerah the Cushite^[a] came out against them with an army of a million^[b] men and three hundred chariots and advanced as far as Mareshah.
