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 And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,

3 and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,

4 and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;

5 and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
