2 Chronicles 14:1-7

112So AbijahH29 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and his sonH1121 AsaH609 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. The landH776 was undisturbedH8252 for tenH6235 yearsH8141 during his daysH3117.

23AsaH609 didH6213 goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 his GodH430, 3for he removedH5493 4the foreignH5236 altarsH4196 and 5highH1116 placesH1116, toreH7665 downH7665 the sacred pillarsH4676, cutH1438 downH1438 the 67AsherimH842, 4and commandedH559 JudahH3063 to seekH1875 the LordH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 and to observeH6213 the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687. 5He also removedH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116 and the 8incenseH2553 altarsH2553 from allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. And the kingdomH4467 was undisturbedH8252 underH6440 him. 69He builtH1129 fortifiedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063, sinceH3588 the landH776 was undisturbedH8252, and 10thereH369 was noH369 oneH369 at warH4421 with him during thoseH428 yearsH8141, 11becauseH3588 the LordH3068 had givenH5117 him restH5117. 7For he saidH559 to JudahH3063, “12Let us buildH1129 theseH428 citiesH5892 and surroundH5437 them with wallsH2346 and towersH4026, gatesH1817 and barsH1280. The landH776 is stillH5750 13oursH6440 becauseH3588 we have soughtH1875 the LordH3068 our GodH430; we have soughtH1875 Him, and He has givenH5117 us restH5117 on everyH5439 sideH5439.” So they builtH1129 and prosperedH6743.
