For Asa said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is still ours because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought him, and he has given us peace on every side.” So they built and succeeded.
8 Asa ya kasance da mayaƙa dubu ɗari uku daga Yahuda, kintsatse da manyan garkuwoyi da māsu, da kuma mayaƙa dubu ɗari biyu da dubu tamanin daga Benyamin, riƙe da ƙananan garkuwoyi da kuma baka. Dukan waɗannan jarumawa ne ƙwarai.
Asa had an army that carried shields and spears; from Judah he had 300,000 men, and from Benjamin, 280,000 men who carried shields and drew bows. All of these were mighty men.

Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle lines in order in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allahnmu; kada ka bar mutum yă yi nasara a kanka.”
Asa cried to Yahweh, his God, and said, “Yahweh, there is no one but you to help one who has no strength when he is facing many. Help us, Yahweh our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast number. Yahweh, you are our God; do not let man defeat you.”
12 Ubangiji fa ya bugi mutanen Kush a gaban Asa da Yahuda. Mutanen Kush suka gudu,
So Yahweh struck the Cushites before Asa and Judah; the Cushites fled.

Asa and the soldiers with him pursued them to Gerar. So many Cushites fell that they could not recover, for they were completely destroyed before Yahweh and his army. The army carried away very much plunder.
14 Suka hallaka dukan ƙauyukan kewaye da Gerar, gama tsoron Ubangiji ya kama su. Suka kwashi ganima na dukan ƙauyukan nan, da yake akwai ganima sosai a can.
The army destroyed all the villages around Gerar, for terror of Yahweh had come on the inhabitants. The army plundered all the villages, and there was much booty in them.
