2
Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3
He took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, hewed down the sacred poles,
4
and commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and to keep the law and the commandment.
5
He also removed from all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him.
6
He built fortified cities in Judah while the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the Lord gave him peace.
