Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers. What an indication lies couched in this word "commanded" (confirmatory of the spirit of what is said above, in our previous verse-note) of the moral efforts of Asa, and that the efforts on which he may have largely relied for "taking away the high places" were moral efforts, rather than those of physical force.

The chronicler's own style is visible in this verse.To seek the Lord God of their fathers.--The same phrase recurs in 2Chronicles 15:12.The law and the commandment.--Exodus 24:12, "That I may give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment that I have written" (Deuteronomy 6:25).And the images.--Hammanim.
