2 Chronicles 15

1And the spiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH1961 uponH5921 AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of OdedH5752: 2and he wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye meH6440, AsaH609, and allH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: the LORDH3068 is with youH518, whileH1961 ye be with him; and ifH518 ye seekH1875 him he will be foundH4672 of youH518; but ifH518 ye forsakeH5800 him he will forsakeH5800 youH518. 3NowH3117 for longH3117 seasons IsraelH3478 hath been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and withoutH3808 a teachingH8451 priestH3548, and withoutH3808 lawH8451: 4But when in their distressH6862 they turnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and soughtH1245 him, he was foundH4672 of them. 5And in thoseH3605 times there was noH369 peaceH7965 to him that wentH3318 outH3318, norH369 to him that cameH935 in, but greatH7227 vexations were uponH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landsH776. 6And they were brokenH3807 in piecesH3807, nationH1471 againstH3605 nationH1471, and cityH5892 againstH3605 cityH5892: for GodH430 did vex them with allH3605 adversityH6869. 7But be ye strongH2388, and letH7503 notH408 your handsH3027 be slackH7503: for your workH6468 shall be rewardedH7939. 8And when AsaH609 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he tookH2388 courageH2388, and putH2388 awayH4480 the abominationsH8251 outH2388 of allH3605 the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and outH2388 of the citiesH5892 whichH834 he had takenH3920 from the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669; and he renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. 9And he gatheredH6908 allH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and them that sojourned with them outH5921 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and outH5921 of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him outH5921 of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him. 10So they gatheredH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the fifteenth yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609. 11And they sacrificedH2076 unto the LORDH3068 in that dayH3117, of the spoilH7998 whichH1931 they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. 12And they enteredH935 intoH935 the covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, with allH3605 their heartH3824 and with allH3605 their soulH5315; 13and that whosoever would notH3808 seekH1875 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, should be putH4191 to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whetherH4480 manH376 or womanH802. 14And they sware unto the LORDH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963; and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornets. 15And allH3605 JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621: for they had swornH7650 with allH3605 their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their wholeH3605 desireH3824; and he was foundH4672 of them: and the LORDH3068 gaveH5117 them restH5117 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 16And also MaacahH4601 the motherH517 of AsaH609 the kingH4428, he removedH5493 herH3772 from beingH3772 queenH1377, becauseH834 sheH834 had madeH6213 an abominable imageH4656 for an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 herH3772 imageH4656, and madeH6213 dust of it, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. 17But the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493 outH3605 of IsraelH3478: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 allH3605 his daysH3117. 18And he broughtH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of GodH430 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6942, and that he himselfH6942 had dedicatedH6942, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627. 19And there was noH3808 moreH3808 warH4421 unto the fiveH2568 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
