וַיָּסַר אֶת־מִזְבְּחוֹת הַנֵּכָר וְהַבָּמוֹת וַיְשַׁבֵּר אֶת־הַמַּצֵּבוֹת וַיְגַדַּע אֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרִֽים
for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
וַיֹּאמֶר לִֽיהוּדָה לִדְרוֹשׁ אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵיהֶם וְלַעֲשׂוֹת הַתּוֹרָה וְהַמִּצְוָֽה
and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. .
וַיָּסַר מִכָּל־עָרֵי יְהוּדָה אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת וְאֶת־הַֽחַמָּנִים וַתִּשְׁקֹט הַמַּמְלָכָה לְפָנָֽיו
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.
וַיִּבֶן עָרֵי מְצוּרָה בִּיהוּדָה כִּֽי־שָׁקְטָה הָאָרֶץ וְאֵין־עִמּוֹ מִלְחָמָה בַּשָּׁנִים הָאֵלֶּה כִּֽי־הֵנִיחַ יְהוָה לֽוֹ
And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
וַיֹּאמֶר לִֽיהוּדָה נִבְנֶה אֶת־הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְנָסֵב חוֹמָה וּמִגְדָּלִים דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִיחִים עוֹדֶנּוּ הָאָרֶץ לְפָנֵינוּ כִּי דָרַשְׁנוּ אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ דָּרַשְׁנוּ וַיָּנַֽח לָנוּ מִסָּבִיב וַיִּבְנוּ וַיַּצְלִֽיחוּ
For he said unto Judah: ‘Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; 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.
