14 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

⁵ Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

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

¹⁶ Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

³⁰ So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

²⁸ Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.

¹³ For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

²⁶ I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

²³ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

¹³ They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
