2 Chronicles 15:8-13

8When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.

9Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

10They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

11At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder they had brought back.

12They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.

13All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
