וַיִּ֛בֶן עָרֵ֥י מְצוּרָ֖ה בִּיהוּדָ֑ה כִּֽי־שָׁקְטָ֣ה הָאָ֗רֶץ וְאֵין־עִמּ֤וֹ מִלְחָמָה֙ בַּשָּׁנִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה כִּֽי־הֵנִ֥יחַ יְהוָ֖ה לֽוֹ׃
Il bâtit des villes fortes en Juda, car le pays jouissait de la paix, et il n’eut pas de guerre à soutenir au cours de ces années, le Seigneur lui ayant donné du repos.

But was it Joshua who built these? Was it not Elpaal who built them, as it is written, “And the sons of Elpaal Ever and Misham and Shemed, who built Ono and Lod, with the towns there of?” (I Chronicles 8:12). But according to your reading Asa built them, as it is written, “And he built fenced cities in Judah?” (II Chronicles 14:5).
