So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his stead: in his dayes the land was quiet ten yeeres.

And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.

For hee tooke away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues:

And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the Law, and the Commandement.

Also he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah, the high places and the images: and the kingdome was quiet before him.

And hee built fenced cities in Iudah; for the land had rest, and hee had no warre in those yeeres; because the Lord had giuen him rest.

Therefore hee said vnto Iudah, Let vs build these cities, & make about them walles, and towers, gates and barres, while the land is yet before vs: because wee haue sought the Lord our God, wee haue sought him, and hee hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built, and prospered.
