Context of 2 Chronicles 15:4
2And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Yhwh is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 3Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
