Context of 2 Chronicles 15:14

12And they entered into a covenant to seek Yhwh God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 13That whosoever would not seek Yhwh God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. And they sware unto Yhwh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 15And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Yhwh gave them rest round about. 16And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
