1
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.
2
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:
3
for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,
4
and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
5
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
