Then Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Asa, reigned in his place. During his days, the land was quiet for ten years.
Now Asa did what was good and pleasing in the sight of his God. And he overturned the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
And he broke apart the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves.

And he took away, from all the cities of Judah, the altars and the shrines. And he reigned in peace.
Also, he built fortified cities in Judah. For it was quiet, and in his time no wars had arisen. For the Lord was generously granting peace.
Then he said to Judah: “Let us build these cities, and strengthen them with walls, and fortify them with towers and gates and bars, while all things are at rest from wars. For we have sought the Lord, the God of our fathers, and he has granted to us peace on every side.” And so they built, and there was nothing to impede them from building.
