chapter_2_Chronicles 15
2 Chronicles 15:1: And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God, 2 Chronicles 15:2: and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah is with you &#8212; in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you; 2 Chronicles 15:3: and many days are to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law, 2 Chronicles 15:4: and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them, 2 Chronicles 15:5: and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles are on all the inhabitants of the lands, 2 Chronicles 15:6: and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity; 2 Chronicles 15:7: and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.' 2 Chronicles 15:8: And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that is before the porch of Jehovah, 2 Chronicles 15:9: and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon &#8212; for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God is with him. 2 Chronicles 15:10: And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, 2 Chronicles 15:11: and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in &#8212; oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand, 2 Chronicles 15:12: and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul, 2 Chronicles 15:13: and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman. 2 Chronicles 15:14: And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets, 2 Chronicles 15:15: and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about. 2 Chronicles 15:16: And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king &#8212; he hath removed her from being mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth it small, and burneth it by the brook Kidron: 2 Chronicles 15:17: yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days. 2 Chronicles 15:18: And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels. 2 Chronicles 15:19: And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
