2 Chronicles 15
15:1And Azariah son of Oded -- spirit of God came upon him.
15:2And he went forth for meeting with Asa. And he said to him, Hear me Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! The lord is with you in your being with him. And if you seek after him, he shall be found by you. And if you should abandon him, he will abandon you.
15:3For many days passed to Israel without the true God, and no priest to plainly show things, and with no law.
15:4And he shall turn them in affliction unto the lord the God of Israel, and they shall seek him, and he shall be found by them.
15:5And in those times there is no peace to the one going forth, and to the one entering, for much astonishment was upon all the ones dwelling places.
15:6And nation shall wage war against nation, and city against city, for God startled them in every affliction.
15:7And you, be strong and do not loosen your hands! for there is a wage for your work.
15:8And in Asa hearing of these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, that he prevailed, and cast out the loathsome things of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he took control of from Jeroboam, from the mountains of Ephraim. And he dedicated the altar of the lord, which was in front of the temple of the lord.
15:9And he assembled Judah and Benjamin, and the foreigners sojourning with him from out of Ephraim, and from out of Manasseh, and from out of Simeon; for many from Israel were added to him in their seeing that the lord God himself was with him.
15:10And they gathered in Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the kingdom of Asa.
15:11And they sacrificed to the lord in that day from the spoils which they brought of seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
15:12And they went into a covenant to seek the lord God of their fathers with their entire heart, and with their entire soul.
15:13And all who ever did not seek after the lord God of Israel shall die, from younger unto older, from man unto woman.
15:14And they swore by an oath to the lord with a great voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.
15:15And all Judah was glad on account of the oath; for from their entire soul they swore by an oath, and with all their volition they sought him; and he was found by them. And the lord gave rest to them round about.
15:16And Asa removed Maachah the mother of the king to not be officiating to Ashtoreth; and he cut in pieces the idol, and incinerated it at the rushing stream Kidron.
15:17Except the high places were not removed, for they existed in Israel. Only the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
15:18And he carried in the holy things of his father, and his own holy things into the house of God -- silver and gold and vessels.
15:19And war was not with him until the thirtieth and fifth year of the kingdom of Asa.
