He had no war in those years, for the Lord gave him peace. ⁶ And he built cities of defence, in Judah, - for the land had quiet, nor was there near him any war, in these years, because Yahweh had given him rest.⁶ He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.⁶ He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the LORD gave him peace.⁶ And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Jehovah hath given rest to him.⁶ And he builds cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land has quiet; and there is no war with him in these years, because YHWH has given rest to him.^6 (C1)He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and ^(F1)there was no one at war with him during those years, ^(C2)because the LORD had given him rest.⁷ So he said to the people of Judah, “Let’s build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars.^(C1) The land is still ours because we sought the Lord our God. We sought him and he gave us rest on every side.” So they built and succeeded.
