1
So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.
2
Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God,
3
for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images.
4
He commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.
5
He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.
6
And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.
