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 Chronicles 14:1 In-Context

1 Aviyah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son became king in his place; during his time the land was quiet for ten years.

2 Asa did what was good and right from the perspective of ADONAI his God;

3 for he removed the foreign altars and the high places, smashing the standing-stones and chopping down the sacred poles.

4 He ordered Y'hudah to seek ADONAI, the God of their ancestors, and to obey the Torah and the mitzvah.

5 He removed the high places and pillars for sun-worship from all the cities of Y'hudah, and under him the kingdom was quiet.
