14_2CH_15_01 And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded :
14_2CH_15_02 And he went out to meet Asa , And said unto him , hear ye me , Asa , And all Judah And Benjamin ; the LORD [ Is ] with you , while ye be with him ; And if ye seek him , he will be found of you ; but if ye forsake him , he will forsake you .
14_2CH_15_03 now for A long season Israel [ hath been ] without the true God , And without A teaching priest , And without law .
14_2CH_15_04 but when they in their Trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel , And sought him , he was found of them .
14_2CH_15_05 And in those times [ there was ] no peace to him that went out , nor to him that came in , but great vexations [ were ] upon all the inhabitants of the countries .
14_2CH_15_06 And nation was destroyed of nation , And city of city : for God did vex them with all adversity .
14_2CH_15_07 be ye strong therefore , And let not your hands be weak : for your work shall be rewarded .
14_2CH_15_08 And when Asa heard These words , And the prophecy of Oded the prophet , he took courage , And put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah And Benjamin , And out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim , And renewed the altar of the LORD , that [ was ] before the porch of the LORD .
14_2CH_15_09 And he gathered all Judah And Benjamin , And the strangers 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 .
14_2CH_15_10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month , in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa .
14_2CH_15_11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time , of the spoil [ which ] they had brought , seven hundred oxen And seven thousand sheep .
14_2CH_15_12 And they entered into A covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart And with all their soul ;
14_2CH_15_13 that whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death , whether small or great , whether man or woman .
14_2CH_15_14 And they sware unto the LORD with A loud voice , And with shouting , And with trumpets , And with cornets .
14_2CH_15_15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath : for they had sworn with all their heart , And sought him with their whole desire ; And he was found of them : And the LORD gave them rest round about .
14_2CH_15_16 And also [ concerning ] Maachah the mother of Asa the king , he removed her from [ being ] queen , because she had made an idol in A grove : And Asa cut down her idol , And stamped [ it ] , And burnt [ it ] at the brook Kidron .
14_2CH_15_17 but the high places were not taken away out of Israel : Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days .
14_2CH_15_18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his Father had dedicated , And that he himself had dedicated , silver , And gold , And vessels .
14_2CH_15_19 And there was no [ more ] war unto the five And thirtieth year of the reign of Asa .
