Chapter 14 of 2 Chronicles in the King James Version (KJV) tells the story of Asa, the king of Judah, and his reign. In summary, Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and removed idols from the land. He fortified the cities of Judah, as the land was at peace during his early years. Asa assembled a strong army of 580,000 men and defeated an Ethiopian army of one million soldiers, with God's help. Asa and his army plundered the Ethiopian camp and were blessed with abundant spoils. They also attacked other cities in the surrounding regions.
Asa's reign was characterized by seeking the Lord and encouraging the people of Judah to do the same. He removed idols and altars from the cities of Judah and restored the altar of the Lord. The land enjoyed peace for several years under his leadership.
