Context of 2 Chronicles 15:11

9Then King Asa brought all the people together who belonged to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He also brought people from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had come to live in Judah. Many people from the other tribes of Israel had come to Judah to serve King Asa. They had seen that the Lord his God was with him to help him. 10All these people met together in Jerusalem in the 15th year after Asa had become king. They met in the third month of the year. At that time they offered many animals to the Lord as sacrifices. They were animals that they had taken from their enemies. There were 700 bulls and 7,000 sheep. 12They made a serious promise that they would faithfully serve the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 13If anyone refused to worship the Lord, Israel's God, they would punish that person with death. They agreed to do that, whoever the person was, young or old, male or female.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11The prevalence of the number “seven” in the religious system of the Jews has been noticed often.

At the larger sacrifices, however, it is seldom that we find the number seven at all prominent (compare 2 Chronicles 30:24; 2 Chronicles 35:7-9; 1 Kings 8:63).Read the comment
