2 Chronicles 15

1And the SpiritH7307 of 1GodH430 came upon AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of OdedH5752. 2And he wentH3318 out to meet AsaH609, and saidH559 to him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: Jehovah is with you while ye are with him; and if ye seekH1875 him he will beH1961 foundH4672 of you, but if ye forsakeH5800 him he will forsakeH5800 you. 3Now for a long while IsraelH3478 [was] without the true 2GodH430, and without a teaching priestH3548, and without lawH8451; 4but in their trouble they turnedH7725 to Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and soughtH1245 him, and he was foundH4672 of them. 5And in those times there [was] no peaceH7965 to him that wentH3318 out nor to him that cameH935 in, but greatH7227 disturbances were amongst all the inhabitantsH3427 of the countries. 6And nationH1471 was broken against nationH1471, and cityH5892 against cityH5892; for 4GodH430 disturbed them with all manner of distressH6869. 7But as for you, be firmH2388 and let not your handsH3027 be weak; for there is a rewardH7939 for your deedsH6468. 8And whenH834 AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697 and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he tookH2388 courage, and put away the abominationsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 that he had takenH3920 from mount EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of Jehovah, that was before the porchH197 of Jehovah. 9And he assembledH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangers with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095; for they fellH5307 away to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that Jehovah his 5GodH430 was with him. 10And they assembledH6908 themselves at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320 of the fifteenth yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609. 11And they sacrificedH2076 to Jehovah in that dayH3117, of the spoilH7998 that they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. 12And they entered into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 Jehovah the 6GodH430 of their fathersH1, with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, 13and that whoever would not seekH1875 Jehovah the 7GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be putH4191 to deathH4191, whether smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802. 14And they sworeH7650 to Jehovah with a loud voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornets. 15And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621; for they took the oathH7621 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desire; and he was foundH4672 of them. And Jehovah gaveH5117 them restH5117 roundH5439 about. 16And alsoH1571 Maachah, the motherH517 of AsaH609 the kingH4428, he removedH5493 from being queen, because she had madeH6213 an idol for the AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 down her idol, and stamped it, and burnedH8313 it in the valley KidronH6939. 17But the highH1116 placesH1116 wereH1961 not removedH5493 from IsraelH3478; onlyH7535, Asa's heartH3824 wasH1961 perfectH8003 all his daysH3117. 18And he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of 8GodH430 the thingsH6944 which his fatherH1 had dedicated, and the thingsH6944 which he himself had dedicated, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627. 19And there wasH1961 no warH4421 until the thirty-fifth yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
