So
Abijah slept with his
fathers, and they
buried him in the
city of
David: and
Asa his
son reigned in his stead. In his
days the
land was
quiet ten years.

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

For he took
away the
altars of the
strange gods, and the high
places, and brake
down the
images, and cut
down the
groves:

And
commanded Judah to
seek the
LORD God of their
fathers, and to
do the
law and the
commandment.

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

And he
built fenced cities in
Judah: for the
land had
rest, and he had no
war in those
years; because the
LORD had given him
rest.

Therefore he
said unto
Judah, Let us
build these
cities, and make
about them
walls, and
towers, gates, and
bars, while the
land is yet
before us; because we have
sought the
LORD our
God, we have
sought him, and he hath given us
rest on every
side. So they
built and
prospered.

And
Asa had an
army of men that
bare targets and
spears, out of
Judah three hundred thousand; and out of
Benjamin, that
bare shields and
drew bows, two
hundred and
fourscore thousand: all these were mighty
men of
valour.

And there came

three hundred chariots; and
came unto
