2 Chronicles 15
- 1And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
- 2And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, while you be with him. If you seek him, he will be found of you. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
- 3Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
- 4But when they in their trouble did turn to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
- 5And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, or to him who came in, but great troubles were on all the people of the countries.
- 6And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city. For God did trouble them with all adversity.
- 7Be strong therefore, and do not let your hands be weak. For your work shall be rewarded.
- 8And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the disgusting idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.
- 9And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the foreigners with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon. For they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
- 10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
- 11And they offered to the Lord the same time, of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
- 12And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
- 13That whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
- 14And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
- 15And all Judah rejoiced at the oath. For they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire. He was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.
- 16And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in an Asherah pole: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
- 17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: but the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
- 18And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and items.
- 19And there was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
