H3318
And he went out
[H8799]
H6440
to meet
H609
Asa
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H8085
unto him, Hear
[H8798]
H609
ye me, Asa
H3063
, and all Judah
H1144
and Benjamin
H3068
; The LORD
H1875
is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek
[H8799]
H4672
him, he will be found
[H8735]
H5800
of you; but if ye forsake
[H8799]
H5800
him, he will forsake
[H8799]
you.

H7227
Now for a long
H3117
season
H3478
Israel
H3808
hath been without
H571
the true
H430
God
H3384
, and without a teaching
[H8688]
H3548
priest
H8451
, and without law.
4
H6862
But when they in their trouble
H7725
did turn
[H8799]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H1245
, and sought
[H8762]
H4672
him, he was found
[H8735]
of them.
5
H6256
And in those times
H7965
there was no peace
H3318
to him that went out
[H8802]
H935
, nor to him that came in
[H8802]
H7227
, but great
H4103
vexations
H3427
were upon all the inhabitants
[H8802]
H776
of the countries.
6
H1471
And nation
H3807
was destroyed
[H8795]
H1471
of nation
H5892
, and city
H5892
of city
H430
: for God
H2000
did vex
[H8804]
H6869
them with all adversity.
7
H2388
Be ye strong
[H8798]
H3027
therefore, and let not your hands
H7503
be weak
[H8799]
H6468
: for your work
H3426
shall be
H7939
rewarded.
8
H609
And when Asa
H8085
heard
[H8800]
H1697
these words
H5016
, and the prophecy
H5752
of Oded
H5030
the prophet
H2388
, he took courage
[H8694]
H5674
, and put away
[H8686]
H8251
the abominable idols
H776
out of all the land
H3063
of Judah
H1144
and Benjamin
H5892
, and out of the cities
H3920
which he had taken
[H8804]
H2022
from mount
H669
Ephraim
H2318
, and renewed
[H8762]
H4196
the altar
H3068
of the LORD
H6440
, that was before
H197
the porch
H3068
of the LORD.
9
H6908
And he gathered
[H8799]
H3063
all Judah
H1144
and Benjamin
H1481
, and the strangers
[H8802]
H669
with them out of Ephraim
H4519
and Manasseh
H8095
, and out of Simeon
H5307
: for they fell
[H8804]
H3478
to him out of Israel
H7230
in abundance
H7200
, when they saw
[H8800]
H3068
that the LORD
H430
his God was with him.
10
H6908
So they gathered themselves together
[H8735]
H3389
at Jerusalem
H7992
in the third
H2320
month
H2568
, in the fifteenth
H6240
H8141
year
H4438
of the reign
H609
of Asa.
11
H2076
And they offered
[H8799]
H3068
unto the LORD
H3117
the same time
H7998
, of the spoil
H935
which they had brought
[H8689]
H7651
, seven
H3967
hundred
H1241
oxen
H7651
and seven
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep.
12
H935
And they entered
[H8799]
H1285
into a covenant
H1875
to seek
[H8800]
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers
H3824
with all their heart
H5315
and with all their soul;
13
H1875
That whosoever would not seek
[H8799]
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H4191
should be put to death
[H8714]
H4480
, whether
H6996
small
H1419
or great
H376
, whether man
H802
or woman.
14
H7650
And they sware
[H8735]
H3068
unto the LORD
H1419
with a loud
H6963
voice
H8643
, and with shouting
H2689
, and with trumpets
H7782
, and with cornets.
15
H3063
And all Judah
H8055
rejoiced
[H8799]
H7621
at the oath
H7650
: for they had sworn
[H8738]
H3824
with all their heart
H1245
, and sought
[H8765]
H7522
him with their whole desire
H4672
; and he was found
[H8735]
H3068
of them: and the LORD
H5117
gave them rest
[H8799]
H5439
round about.
16
H4601
And also concerning Maachah
H517
the mother
H609
of Asa
H4428
the king
H5493
, he removed
[H8689]
H1377
her from being queen
H6213
, because she had made
[H8804]
H4656
an idol
H842
in a grove
H609
: and Asa
H3772
cut down
[H8799]
H4656
her idol
H1854
, and stamped
[H8686]
H8313
it, and burnt
[H8799]
H5158
it at the brook
H6939
Kidron.
17
H1116
But the high places
H5493
were not taken away
[H8804]
H3478
out of Israel
H3824
: nevertheless the heart
H609
of Asa
H8003
was perfect
H3117
all his days.
