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.
6 He built fortified cities in Yehudah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.
7 For he said to Yehudah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

2 Chronicles 14:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 14

This chapter relates the death of Abijah, and the succession of Asa in his stead, 2Ch 14:1, gives a good character of the latter for his reformation in religion, and for the care he took for the safety and protection of his subjects, 2Ch 14:2-8, and an account is given of a large army of Ethiopians that came against him, over whom he crying to the Lord, and trusting in him, by his help obtained a complete victory, 2Ch 14:9-15.
