Porque quitó los altares del culto ajeno, y los altos; quebró las imágenes, y taló los bosques;
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 3. For he took away the altars of the strange gods , etc.] Or of a strange people, of the Zidonians, Ammonites, and Moabites, which had remained from the times of Solomon, and which he built for his wives
, ( 1 Kings 11:7,8) and the high places ; built for idols; for as for those on which the true God was worshipped, they were not removed in his days, ( 1 Kings 15:14) and brake down the images : or statues, or pillars, erected to the honour of idols, and on which the images of them were placed: and cut down the groves ; in the midst of which they stood.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- Asa's piety, He strengthens his kingdom.
--Asa aimed at pleasing God, and studied to approve himself to him Happy those that walk by this rule, not to do that which is right in their own eyes, or in the eye of the world, but which is so in God' sight. We find by experience that it is good to seek the Lord; it give us rest; while we pursue the world, we meet with nothing but vexation Asa consulted with his people how to make a good use of the peace the enjoyed; and concluded with them that they must not be idle, no secure. A formidable army of Ethiopians invaded Asa's kingdom. Thi evil came upon them, that their faith in God might be tried. Asa' prayer is short, but it is the real language of faith and expectatio from God. When we go forth in God's name, we cannot but prosper, an all things work together for the good of those whom he favours _________________________________________________
