5. And he persisted in seeking God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and in those days that he sought the Lord, God prospered him.
6. For he went forth and warred against the Philistines and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod and built cities about Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7. And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal and against the Mehunims.
