2 Chronicles 14:1-8

112So Abijah 3lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place. The land was undisturbed for ten years during his days.

24And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God, 3for he removed 5the foreign altars and 6high places, tore down the memorial stones, cut down the 78Asherim, 4and commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers and to 9comply with the Law and the commandment. 5He also removed the high places and the 10incense altars from all the cities of Judah. And the kingdom was undisturbed under him. 611He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and 12there was no one at war with him during those years, 13because the Lord had given him rest. 7For he said to Judah, “14Let’s build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still 15ours 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. 8Now Asa had an army of 16three hundred thousand from Judah, carrying large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, carrying shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.
