Context of 2 Chronicles 15:11
9And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 12And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; 13and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
