God's Spirit came to Oded's son Azariah. 2Azariah went to meet King Asa. He said to him, ‘Listen to me Asa and all you people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord will be with you while you are faithful to him. If you ask him for help, he will answer you. But if you turn away from him, he will turn away from you. 3For a long time, the Israelites did not serve the true God. They did not have any priests to teach them what was right. They did not know God's law.
