2CH-15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2CH-15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye
me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you,
while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of
you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
2CH-15:3 Now for a long season Israel [hath been] without the
true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
2CH-15:4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD
God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
2CH-15:5 And in those times [there was] no peace to him that
went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations [were]
upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
2CH-15:6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city:
for God did vex them with all adversity.
2CH-15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak:
for your work shall be rewarded.
2CH-15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of
Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable
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.
2CH-15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the
strangers 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.
2CH-15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in
the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
2CH-15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the
spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven
thousand sheep.
2CH-15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God
of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
2CH-15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel
should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or
woman.
2CH-15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and
with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
2CH-15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn
with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire;
and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round
about.
2CH-15:16 And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the
king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an
idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it],
and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron.
2CH-15:17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel:
nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
2CH-15:18 And he brought into the house of God the things that
his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated,
silver, and gold, and vessels.
2CH-15:19 And there was no [more] war unto the five and
thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
