2 Chronicles 14:1-7 ▼

1 And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.

2 And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.

3 And he removed the altars of the strange gods , and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves:

4 and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.

5 And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness

6 fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest.

7 And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us.
