2 Chronicles 15:1-19

And the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came upon Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Oded
<05752>_:
And he went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<06440>
Asa
<0609>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye me, Asa
<0609>_,
and all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
The LORD
<03068>
[is] with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek
<01875> (8799)
him, he will be found
<04672> (8735)
of you; but if ye forsake
<05800> (8799)
him, he will forsake
<05800> (8799)
you. {to meet...: Heb. before Asa}
Now for a long
<07227>
season
<03117>
Israel
<03478>
[hath been] without
<03808>
the true
<0571>
God
<0430>_,
and without a teaching
<03384> (8688)
priest
<03548>_,
and without law
<08451>_.
But when they in their trouble
<06862>
did turn
<07725> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and sought
<01245> (8762)
him, he was found
<04672> (8735)
of them.
And in those times
<06256>
[there was] no peace
<07965>
to him that went out
<03318> (8802)_,
nor to him that came in
<0935> (8802)_,
but great
<07227>
vexations
<04103>
[were] upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the countries
<0776>_.
And nation
<01471>
was destroyed
<03807> (8795)
of nation
<01471>_,
and city
<05892>
of city
<05892>_:
for God
<0430>
did vex
<02000> (8804)
them with all adversity
<06869>_.
{destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Be ye strong
<02388> (8798)
therefore, and let not your hands
<03027>
be weak
<07503> (8799)_:
for your work
<06468>
shall be
<03426>
rewarded
<07939>_.
And when Asa
<0609>
heard
<08085> (8800)
these words
<01697>_,
and the prophecy
<05016>
of Oded
<05752>
the prophet
<05030>_,
he took courage
<02388> (8694)_,
and put away
<05674> (8686)
the abominable idols
<08251>
out of all the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and out of the cities
<05892>
which he had taken
<03920> (8804)
from mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and renewed
<02318> (8762)
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that [was] before
<06440>
the porch
<0197>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{abominable...: Heb. abominations}
And he gathered
<06908> (8799)
all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and the strangers
<01481> (8802)
with them out of Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
and out of Simeon
<08095>_:
for they fell
<05307> (8804)
to him out of Israel
<03478>
in abundance
<07230>_,
when they saw
<07200> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[was] with him.
So they gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)
at Jerusalem
<03389>
in the third
<07992>
month
<02320>_,
in the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Asa
<0609>_.
And they offered
<02076> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
the same time
<03117>_,
of the spoil
<07998>
[which] they had brought
<0935> (8689)_,
seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
oxen
<01241>
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_.
{the same...: Heb. in that day}
And they entered
<0935> (8799)
into a covenant
<01285>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>
with all their heart
<03824>
and with all their soul
<05315>_;
That whosoever would not seek
<01875> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
should be put to death
<04191> (8714)_,
whether
<04480>
small
<06996>
or great
<01419>_,
whether man
<0376>
or woman
<0802>_.
And they sware
<07650> (8735)
unto the LORD
<03068>
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_,
and with shouting
<08643>_,
and with trumpets
<02689>_,
and with cornets
<07782>_.
And all Judah
<03063>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
at the oath
<07621>_:
for they had sworn
<07650> (8738)
with all their heart
<03824>_,
and sought
<01245> (8765)
him with their whole desire
<07522>_;
and he was found
<04672> (8735)
of them: and the LORD
<03068>
gave them rest
<05117> (8799)
round about
<05439>_.
And also [concerning] Maachah
<04601>
the mother
<0517>
of Asa
<0609>
the king
<04428>_,
he removed
<05493> (8689)
her from [being] queen
<01377>_,
because she had made
<06213> (8804)
an idol
<04656>
in a grove
<0842>_:
and Asa
<0609>
cut down
<03772> (8799)
her idol
<04656>_,
and stamped
<01854> (8686)
[it], and burnt
<08313> (8799)
[it] at the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
{mother: that is, grandmother} {idol: Heb. horror}
But the high places
<01116>
were not taken away
<05493> (8804)
out of Israel
<03478>_:
nevertheless the heart
<03824>
of Asa
<0609>
was perfect
<08003>
all his days
<03117>_.
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
into the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
the things that his father
<01>
had dedicated
<06944>_,
and that he himself had dedicated
<06944>_,
silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and vessels
<03627>_.
And there was no [more] war
<04421>
unto the five
<02568>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Asa
<0609>_.
