And he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places, and the images: therefore the Kingdom was [a]quiet before him.

He built also strong cities in Judah, because the land was in rest, and he had no war in those years: for the Lord had given him rest.

Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make walls about, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is [b]before us: because we have sought the Lord our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side: so they built and prospered.
