Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 14:1

"So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years." — 2 Chronicles 14:1 (ASV)

So Abijah slept ... in his place. —Verbatim as 1 Kings 15:8 (Abijam).

In his days the land was quiet ten years. —Mentioned here as a result of Abijah’s great victory. The land was quiet, or had rest (Judges 3:11; Judges 5:31). The phrase is explained in 2 Chronicles 14:6, He had no war in those years.

During this period of repose Asa strengthened the defenses of his country (2 Chronicles 14:5; compare 2 Chronicles 15:19).

The name Asa may perhaps mean "healer" (compare the Syriac ’ôsç, "physician," and 2 Chronicles 16:12); or "spices" (Syriac ‘ôsô; compare 2 Chronicles 16:14).
