3. for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
4. and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the 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 sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
6. And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
