Contextual Overview
1 Abijah died and they buried him in the city of David. His son Asa became king in his place. In his days the land had peace ten years. 2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 For he put away the strange altars and high places. He tore down the pillars used in worship of false gods. And he cut down the false goddesses, the Asherim. 4 He told Judah to follow the Lord God of their fathers, and to obey the Laws. 5 He put the high places and the altars of special perfume away from all the cities of Judah. And the nation had rest under his rule. 6 He built strong cities in Judah, since the land had rest. No one fought a war with him during those years, because the Lord had given him rest. 7 So he said to the people of Judah, "Let us build these cities. And let us build walls and towers around them, with iron gates. The land is still ours, because we have followed the Lord our God. We have followed Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and did well. 8 Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah, with large battle-coverings and spears. And he had 280,000 men from Benjamin, with battle-coverings and bows. All of them were powerful soldiers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images,.... Perhaps the high places in 2 Chronicles 14:3 design only the high places and altars in Jerusalem, and near it; these in all the rest of the cities of the land; the "images were", as the word signifies, "sun images", either made in the form of the sun, or dedicated to it, or temples for it; 2 Chronicles 14:3- :,
and the kingdom was quiet before him; he had no foreign enemy to molest him, and so took that opportunity to reform divine worship, and in that he met with no opposition from his people.
