NSB(i)
6 He built fortified cities in Judah and the land had peace. There was no war during those years because Jehovah gave him a time of peace.
7 Asa told Judah: »Let us build these cities and make walls around them with towers and doors that can be barred. The country is still ours because we have dedicated our lives to serve Jehovah our God. We have dedicated our lives to him. He has surrounded us with peace.« So they built the cities, and everything went well.
