Context of 2 Chronicles 15:14
12They made an agreement with one another to dedicate their lives to serving the Lord God of their ancestors with all their heart and soul. 13All people (young or old, male or female) who refused to dedicate their lives to the Lord God of Israel were to be killed. Asa and the people swore their oath to the Lord with shouts, singing, and the blowing of trumpets and rams’ horns. 15All the people of Judah were overjoyed because of the oath, since they took the oath wholeheartedly. They took great pleasure in looking for the Lord, and he let them find him. So the Lord surrounded them with peace. 16King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from the position of queen mother because she made a statue of the repulsive goddess Asherah. Asa cut the statue down, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
