Asa Reigns in Judah

2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God,

3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and ^athe high places, and ^bbroke down the sacred pillars ^cand cut down the wooden images.

4 He commanded Judah to ^aseek the Lord God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.

5 He also removed the¹ high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.

6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the Lord had given him ^arest.

7 Therefore he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.

8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who carried¹ shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew ^abows; all these were mighty men of ^bvalor.
