2 Chronicles 15:1-8

1Now the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 uponH5921 AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of OdedH5752. 2So he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609 and saidH559 to him, “Listen to meH8085, AsaH609 and allH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144. The LORDH3068 is with youH5973 when you areH1961 with HimH5973. IfH518 you seek HimH1875, He will be foundH4672 by you, but ifH518 you forsake HimH5800, He will forsakeH5800 youH853. 3For manyH7227 yearsH3117 IsraelH3478 has been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, withoutH3808 a priestH3548 to instruct themH3384, and withoutH3808 the lawH8451. 4But in their distressH6862 they turnedH7725 toH5921 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and sought HimH1245, and He was foundH4672 by them. 5In thoseH1992 daysH6256 there was noH369 safetyH7965 for travelersH3318H935, becauseH3588 the residentsH3427 of the landsH776 hadH5921H3605 manyH7227 conflictsH4103. 6NationH1471 was crushedH3807 by nationH1471, and cityH5892 by cityH5892, forH3588 GodH430 afflicted themH2000 with all kinds ofH3605 adversityH6869. 7But as for youH859, be strongH2388; do notH408 be discouragedH7503H3027, forH3588 your workH6468 will beH3426 rewardedH7939.”

8When AsaH609 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 and the prophecyH5016 of Azariah son of OdedH57521 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388 and removedH5674 the detestable idolsH8251 fromH4480 the wholeH3605 landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 and from the citiesH5892 he had capturedH3920 in the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669. He then restoredH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 was in frontH6440 of the porticoH197 of the LORD’s templeH3068.
