THE MESSAGE
Asa was a good king. He did things right in God 's eyes. He cleaned house: got rid of the pagan altars and shrines, smashed the sacred stone pillars, and chopped down the sex-and-religion groves (Asherim). He told Judah to center their lives in God , the God of their fathers, to do what the law said, and to follow the commandments. Because he got rid of all the pagan shrines and altars in the cities of Judah, his kingdom was at peace. Because the land was quiet and there was no war, he was able to build up a good defense system in Judah. God kept the peace.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Asa did good and right in the sight of the LORD his God,

And the kingdom was quiet before him. 6 And he built fenced cities in Judah, for the land had quiet. And there was no war with him in these years, because Jehovah had given him rest. 7 And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and walls around them , and towers, two leaved gates, and bars, while the land is before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God.We have sought, and He has given rest to usall around. And they built and prospered. 8 And Asa had an army bearing bucklers and spears three hundred thousand out of Judah, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin, bearing shields and drawing bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

1 Kings 15:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 14:2. Did that which was good — He attended to what the law required relative to the worship of God. He was no idolater, though, morally speaking, he was not exempt from faults, 1 Kings 15:14. He suppressed idolatry universally, and encouraged the people to worship the true God: see 2 Chronicles 14:3-5.
