Read in context

2 Chronicles 14:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles.

4 He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments.

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

6 Because the land was at peace, Asa built fortified cities in Judah. In those days no one made war with him, because the LORD had given him rest.

7 So he said to the people of Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars. The land is still ours 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.
