2 Chronicles 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:1

So Abijah slept with his fathers,
( 1 Kings 15:8 )

and Asa his son reigned in his stead; in his days the land was quiet
ten years;
the Targum is, the land of Israel; but much better the Septuagint, the land of Judah; these ten years, in which it had rest from war, were the first three years of Asa's reign, and the first seven of Baasha's, according to Jarchi, and which seems right; after which there was war between them all their days, see ( 1 Kings 15:32 1 Kings 15:33 ) .

2 Chronicles 14:1 In-Context

1 So Aviyah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

3 for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,

4 and commanded Yehudah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the mitzvah.

5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Yehudah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
