Asa Reigns over Judah

So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son became king in his place. The land was quiet for ten years during his days. 2 And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Yahweh his God, 3 for he removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, cut the Asherim in pieces, 4 and said for Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to do 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 before him. 6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was quiet, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because Yahweh had given him rest. 7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought Yahweh our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and succeeded.
