Asa's Religious Reforms

⁶ One nation crushed another nation. One city crushed another. God tormented them with every kind of trouble. ⁷ But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.” ⁸ Asa heard the prophet Oded's words of prophecy.

He also repaired Jehovah's altar in front of Jehovah's entrance hall.
