2 Chronicles 14:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ And he took away the high places out of all the cities of Judah, and the images. Therefore, the kingdom was quiet before him.

⁶ Also, because the land was at rest, he had built strong cities in Judah. And he had no war in those years. For the LORD had given him rest.

⁷ Therefore, he said to Judah, “Because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought Him and He has given us rest on every side, let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers and gates and bars, while the land is before us.” So, they built and prospered.
