And the Spirit
of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2
And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The
L
ORD
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.
3
Now for a long season Israel
hath been
without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4
But when they in their trouble did turn unto the
L
ORD
God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
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.
6
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
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
L
ORD
, that
was
before the porch of the
L
ORD
.
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
L
ORD
his God
was
with him.
10
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11
And they offered unto the
L
ORD
the same time, of the spoil
which
they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12
And they entered into a covenant to seek the
L
ORD
God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13
That whosoever would not seek the
L
ORD
God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14
And they sware unto the
L
ORD
with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
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
L
ORD
gave them rest round about.
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.
17
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
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.
19
And there was no
more
war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
