2 Chronicles 14:1-7 ▼

1 And Abijah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead. In his days the land was quiet [for] ten years.

2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,

3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,

4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;

5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.

6 And he builds cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land has quiet; and there is no war with him in these years, because YHWH has given rest to him.

7 And he says to Judah, “Let us build these cities, and surround [them] with wall, and towers, double gates, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought our God YHWH, we have sought, and He gives rest to us all around”; and they build and prosper.
