In Context

2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God:

3 for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,

4 and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, 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.

6 He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest.

7 For he said to Judah, |Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.| So they built and prospered.
