2. Kronická 14:7

Ása měl vojsko, tři sta tisíc mužů z Judy, nosících pavézy a oštěpy, dvě stě osmdesát tisíc z Benjamína, kteří nosili štíty a stříleli z luku. Všichni byli udatní bohatýři.

Bible kralická (1613)
I řekl lidu Judskému: Vzdělejme ta města, a ohraďme je zdmi a věžemi, branami i závorami, dokudž země jest v moci naší. Aj, že jsme hledali Hospodina Boha svého, hledali jsme ho, a dal nám odpočinutí odevšad. A tak stavěli a šťastně se jim zvedlo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore he said unto Judah,.... To the nobles and principal men of the kingdom:

let us build these cities; which he, no doubt, particularly mentioned by name, and pointed at; that is, repair and fortify them, and put them into a better condition of defence:

and make about them walls and towers, gates and bars; which are always made to fortified places, to protect the inhabitants, and keep out an enemy:

while the land is yet before us; in our power, no enemy in it, nor any to hinder or molest:

because we have sought the Lord our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side; had set up his pure worship, reformed abuses in it, and removed idolatry from it, and closely attended to the service of the sanctuary, which was well pleasing to God; the happy effect of which they experienced, rest from all their enemies round about them:

so that they built, and prospered; they began, and went on, and finished, there being nothing to hinder them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The land is yet before us - i. e., “unoccupied by an enemy” - “the land is open to us to go where we please.” Compare Genesis 13:9. The fortification of the strongholds would be an act of rebellion against Egypt, and it might be expected that the Egyptians would endeavor to put a stop to it.
