For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah 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 make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν, Ας οικοδομησωμεν τας πολεις ταυτας, και ας καμωμεν περι αυτας τειχη και πυργους, πυλας και μοχλους, ενω ειμεθα κυριοι της γης, επειδη εξεζητησαμεν Κυριον τον Θεον ημων· εξεζητησαμεν αυτον, και εδωκεν εις ημας αναπαυσιν κυκλοθεν. Και ωκοδομησαν και ευωδωθησαν.

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.
