Asa Succeeds Abijah in Judah

14 [a](A)So Abijah [b]lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place. The land was undisturbed for ten years during his days.

[c]And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God, for he removed (B)the foreign altars and (C)high places, tore down the memorial stones, cut down the [d](D)Asherim, and commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers and to [e]comply with the Law and the commandment. He also removed the high places and the (E)incense altars from all the cities of Judah. And the kingdom was undisturbed under him.
