Context of 2 Chronicles 15:7
5At that time it was not safe to travel very far. There was too much trouble among the people of other countries. 6One nation would attack and destroy another nation. The people of one city destroyed other cities. God caused all this trouble to happen to those people. But you must be strong. Continue to be brave. God will make your work successful.’ 8Asa felt strong again when he heard God's message from Azariah, son of the prophet Oded. He removed the disgusting idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin. He also removed them from the towns that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim. He repaired the Lord's altar that was in the yard at the front of the Lord's temple. 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.
