Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God, for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images. He commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.
Asa was king of Judah and Solomon’s great-grandson. He was one of the good kings; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He took decisive action in destroying the idols that polluted the land. If only all of Judah’s kings could have been like Asa!
