2 Chronicles 15:8-16

8Now when AsaH609 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 and the 1prophecyH5016 which AzariahH5838 the son of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030 spoke, he tookH2388 courageH2388 and removedH5674 the abominableH8251 idolsH8251 from allH3605 the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and from 2the citiesH5892 whichH834 he had capturedH3920 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669. 3He then restoredH2318 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 whichH834 was in frontH6440 of the porchH197 of the LordH3068. 9And he gatheredH6908 allH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and those from EphraimH669, ManassehH4519, and SimeonH8095 4who residedH1481 with them, for manyH7230 defectedH5307 to him from IsraelH3478 when they sawH7200 that the LordH3068 his GodH430 was with him. 10So they assembledH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320 of the fifteenthH2568H6240 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4438. 115They sacrificedH2076 to the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629 from the spoilsH7998 they had broughtH935. 126They enteredH935 into the covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LordH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with allH3605 their heartH3824 and soulH5315; 13and whoeverH834H3605 would not seekH1875 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 7was to be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 orH5704 greatH1419, manH376 orH5704 womanH802. 14Moreover, they madeH7650 anH7650 oathH7650 to the LordH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, with shoutingH8643, trumpetsH2689, and with hornsH7782. 15AllH3605 JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 concerningH5921 the oathH7621, for they had swornH7650 with allH3605 their heartH3824 and had soughtH1245 Him 8earnestlyH3605H7522, and He let them findH4672 Him. So 9the LordH3068 gaveH5117 them restH5117 on everyH5439 sideH5439.

1610He alsoH1571 removedH5493 MaacahH4601, the motherH517 of KingH4428 AsaH609, from the position of queenH1377 motherH1377, becauseH834 she had madeH6213 an abominableH4656 imageH4656 11as 12an AsherahH842, and 13AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 her abominableH4656 imageH4656, crushedH1854 it, and burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
