2 Chronicles 14:6-7

He built a fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, b for the  Lord gave him peace. And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with c walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the  Lord our God. We have sought him, d and he has given us peace on every side.” So they built and prospered.
