^2 [a]Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God. ³ He took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the sacred poles,^{[b](A) 4} and commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, and to keep the law and the commandment. ⁵ He also removed from all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom was quiet under him.^(B)

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father;^[a] he did not seek the Baals

⁴ but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments and not according to the ways of Israel.^(A)
