2 Chronicles 14:5-7

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

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

7Therefore 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.
