Exegesis
Finally, ha-malkûṯ ləp̄ānāyw {הַמַּלְכוּת לְפָנָיו | ha-mal-kûṯ lə-p̄ā-nāyw} ‘the kingdom was calm before him’ employs a Hebrew idiom for stability under a ruler’s presence. This progression from reform to tranquility underscores the effectiveness of Asa’s actions.
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:5
And he removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was calm before him .
