His reign is noted for religious reforms and efforts to rid Judah of idolatry. Asa's acts include his commitment to the worship of Yahweh and his removal of pagan altars and high places. His reign is characterized by a return to the covenantal faithfulness that was expected of the kings of Judah.along with all his might Asa demonstrated considerable strength and leadership during his reign. He fortified cities and built up the military, which was crucial in defending Judah against external threats, such as the invasion by Zerah the Ethiopian. His might is also seen in his ability to maintain peace for much of his reign, attributed to his reliance on God.all his accomplishments Asa's accomplishments include religious reforms, military victories, and infrastructure development. He is credited with bringing about a spiritual revival in Judah by removing idols and restoring the altar of the Lord. His military success against the Cushites and his alliances with neighboring nations like Aram are also notable.and the cities he built Asa fortified several cities, which was a common practice for kings to protect their territories. These fortifications were strategic for defense and control over trade routes. Archaeological evidence of such fortifications provides insight into the period's military architecture and urban planning.are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? This phrase indicates that a more detailed account of Asa's reign was recorded in a historical document known as the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. This book is distinct from the biblical Chronicles and served as a royal archive. It suggests that the biblical account is a summary, with more comprehensive records available elsewhere.In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet. Asa's disease in his feet, likely gout or a similar condition, is mentioned as a significant event in his later years. This ailment is seen as a turning point, as it led to a reliance on physicians rather than seeking the Lord's help, as noted in <a href="/2_chronicles/16-12.htm">2 Chronicles 16:12</a>.

We must remember what the art of medicine at that day was like (see Kitto, "Daily Bib.
