'Courage' in the Bible

And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.

And he took courage in the ways of Jehovah; moreover, he removed the high places and Asherahs out of Judah.
