6 Because the land experienced peace, Asa built fortified cities in Judah.(B) No one made war with him in those days because the Lord gave him rest.(C) 7 So he said to the people of Judah, “Let’s build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars.(D) The land is still ours because we sought the Lord our God. We sought him and he gave us rest on every side.” So they built and succeeded.

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.
7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet 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.
