1. Then Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Asa, reigned in his place. During his days, the land was quiet for ten years.
2. Now Asa did what was good and pleasing in the sight of his God. And he overturned the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
3. And he broke apart the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves.
4. And he instructed Judah that they should seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, and that they should carry out the law and all the commandments.
5. And he took away, from all the cities of Judah, the altars and the shrines. And he reigned in peace.
