2 CHRONICLES 14:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the Lord our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.”
He said to Judah, 'Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars; the land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God; we sought him and he has given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered — Asa's exhortation (וַיֹּאמֶר לִיהוּדָה נִבְנֶה אֶת־הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְנַקִּיף־לָהֶם חוֹמוֹת וּמִגְדָּלִים) emphasized: 'We sought the LORD...and he has given us rest' (דָּרַשְׁנוּ אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ דָּרַשְׁנוּהוּ וַיִּתֵּן־לָנוּ מְנוּחָה סָבִיב). The people responded: 'they built and prospered' (וַיִּבְנוּ וַיִּצְלָחוּ).
