So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land had rest for ten years — Abijah died (וַיִּשְׁכַּב אַבִּיָּה עִם־אֲבוֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבְרוּ־אוֹתוֹ בְּעִיר דָּוִד) and was succeeded by his son Asa (וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָסָא בְנוֹ תַחְתָּיו). Asa's era (בִּימָיו שָׁקַט הָאָרֶץ שִׁבְעַ־שָׁנִים) began with a ten-year peace—divine blessing for the faithful king.
