2 Chronicles 14:2
1 Then Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place, and in his days the land was at peace for ten years.
And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles.
4 He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments.
