2 Chronicles 14:1-7 ▼

1 So Abia slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne raigned in his steade, in whose dayes the lande was in quietnesse ten yeres.

2 And Asa did that was good & right in the eyes of the Lorde his God.

3 For he toke away straunge aulters and the high places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues:

4 And commaunded Iuda to seeke the Lorde God of their fathers, and to do according to the lawe and commaundement.

5 And he put away out of all the cities of Iuda the high places & the images: & the kingdome was quiet before him.

6 And he built strong cities in Iuda, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeres: for the Lorde had geuen him rest.

7 Therefore he saide vnto Iuda: let vs builde these cities, & make about them walles, towres, gates, and barres, for the lande is yet in rest before vs: because we haue sought the Lorde our God, we haue sought him, and he hath geuen vs rest on euery side. And so they built, and it prospered with them.
