King Abijah was buried in Jerusalem. Then his son Asa became the new king of Judah, and there was peace in the land for the first ten years of his reign, for Asa was careful to obey the Lord his God. He demolished the heathen alters on the hills, and broke down the obelisks, and chopped down the shameful Asherim-idols, and demanded that the entire nation obey the commandments of the Lord God of their ancestors. Also, he removed the sun images from the hills, and the incense alters from every one of Judah's cities. That is why God gave his kingdom peace.
