2 Chronicles 14:6

---

← 2 Chronicles 14:5	2 Chronicles 14:6 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 14:7 →
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.	And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.	Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars, [while] the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
