2 Chronicles 15:8-13

8When Asa heard the prophet Oded’s words of prophecy, he was encouraged and put away the detestable idols from all of Judah, Benjamin, and the cities he had captured in the mountains of Ephraim. He also repaired the Lord’s altar in front of the Lord’s entrance hall.

9Then Asa gathered all the people from Judah and Benjamin and the foreigners who had come from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon. (Many of them had come to him from Israel when they saw that Asa’s God, the Lord, was with him.)

10In the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign, they gathered in Jerusalem.

11On that day they sacrificed to the Lord a part of the loot they had brought with them: 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep.

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.
