2 Chronicles 14:1-7
Modern English Version
14 And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Asa his son then reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.
Asa, King of Judah(A)
2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He took down the foreign altars and high places, and he shattered the pillars and cut down the images of Asherah. 4 Then he urged Judah to seek the Lord the God of their fathers and to keep the law and commandments. 5 And he also removed all the high places and incense altars in the cities in Judah. And the kingdom was at rest under Asa. 6 He built fortified cities in Judah because the land was quiet; and there was no war in these years, for the Lord gave peace to him.
7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build up these cities and let us surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars for the land before us is still ours because we have sought after the Lord our God. We have sought Him, and He has given us peace all around.” So they built and had success.

2 Chronicles 14:1-7
21st Century King James Version
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.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the Asherah poles;
4 and he commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
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 fortified 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 walls about them, 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.
