15:8-18 The Chronicler described Asa’s response in the precise terms of the prophet’s exhortation, but Asa’s specific actions went far beyond its general directives. As soon as Asa heard the prophetic words, he took courage in initiating a comprehensive reform, beginning with the removal of the detestable idols that again infested the land (see 14:5). Full trust in God had won the war against the Cushites, and total renewal of the covenant brought the Promised Land to rest (15:15). 15:8 The towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim were those conquered in his war with Baasha (16:1). There was continuous warfare between Baasha and Asa (see 1 Kgs 15:16).
