1 Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. His son Asa became king in his place. During his reign the land experienced peace for 10 years.
2 Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 He removed the pagan altars and the high places. He shattered their sacred pillars and chopped down their Asherah poles.
4 He told the people of Judah to seek the Lord God of their ancestors and to carry out the instruction and the commands.
