2 Chronicles 14:5

5 et abstulit e cunctis urbibus Iuda aras et fana et regnavit in pace

2 Chronicles 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:5

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; (See Gill on Leviticus 26:30),

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.

2 Chronicles 14:5 In-Context

3 et confregit statuas lucosque succidit

4 ac praecepit Iudae ut quaereret Dominum Deum patrum suorum et faceret legem et universa mandata

5 et abstulit e cunctis urbibus Iuda aras et fana et regnavit in pace

6 aedificavit quoque urbes munitas in Iuda quia quietus erat et nulla temporibus eius bella surrexerant pacem Domino largiente

7 dixit autem Iudae aedificemus civitates istas et vallemus muris et roboremus turribus et portis et seris donec a bellis quieta sunt omnia eo quod quaesierimus Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum et dederit nobis pacem per gyrum aedificaverunt igitur et nullum in extruendo inpedimentum fuit
