2 Chronicles 14:5-7

Darby Translation

⁵ And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

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

⁷ And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.
