2
Asa did good and right in the sight of the LORD his God,
3
for he removed the foreign altars and high places, tore down the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherim,
4
and commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers and to observe the law and the commandment.
5
He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah. And the kingdom was undisturbed under him.
6
He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.
