So Abi'jah 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 had rest for ten years.
2
And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
3
He took away the foreign altars and the high places, and broke down the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim,
4
and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment.
5
He also took out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him.
