And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of OdedH5752:
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
Now for a longH7227 seasonH3117 IsraelH3478 hath been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and without a teachingH3384 priestH3548, and without lawH8451.
But when they in their troubleH6862 did turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and soughtH1245 him, he was foundH4672 of them.
And in those timesH6256 there was no peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318, nor to him that came inH935, but greatH7227 vexationsH4103 were upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the countriesH776.
And nationH1471 was destroyedH3807 of nationH1471, and cityH5892 of cityH5892: for GodH430 did vexH2000 them with all adversityH6869. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Be ye strongH2388 therefore, and let not your handsH3027 be weakH7503: for your workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939.
And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominable idolsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from mountH2022 EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. {abominable…: Heb. abominations}
And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
So they gathered themselves togetherH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
And they offeredH2076 unto the LORDH3068 the same timeH3117, of the spoilH7998 which they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. {the same…: Heb. in that day}
And they enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315;
That whosoever would not seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802.
And they swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornetsH7782.
And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621: for they had swornH7650 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desireH7522; and he was foundH4672 of them: and the LORDH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And also concerning MaachahH4601 the motherH517 of AsaH609 the kingH4428, he removedH5493 her from being queenH1377, because she had madeH6213 an idolH4656 in a groveH842: and AsaH609 cut downH3772 her idolH4656, and stampedH1854 it, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. {mother: that is, grandmother} {idol: Heb. horror}
But the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493 out of IsraelH3478: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 all his daysH3117.
And he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and that he himself had dedicatedH6944, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627.
And there was no more warH4421 unto the fiveH2568 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.

Now the actsH1697 of RehoboamH7346, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030, and of IddoH5714 the seerH2374 concerning genealogiesH3187? And there were warsH4421 between RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 continuallyH3117. {book: Heb. words}
Wherefore the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them the captains ofH8269 the host ofH6635 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, which tookH3920 ManassehH4519 among the thornsH2336, and bound himH631 with fettersH5178, and carriedH3212 him to BabylonH894. {of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 slewH5221 them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347: so there fell downH5307 slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376.
Therefore he broughtH5927 upon them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeesH3778, who slewH2026 their young menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and had no compassionH2550 upon young manH970 or maidenH1330, old manH2205, or him that stooped for ageH3486: he gaveH5414 them all into his handH3027.
ForG1063 nationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932: andG2532 there shall beG2071 earthquakesG4578 in diversG2596 placesG5117, andG2532 there shall beG2071 faminesG3042 andG2532 troublesG5016: theseG5023 are the beginningsG746 of sorrowsG5604. {sorrows: the word in the original, importeth; the pains of a woman in travail}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he deliveredH5414 them into the handsH3027 of spoilersH8154 that spoiledH8155 them, and he soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of their enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, so that they couldH3201 not any longerH5750 standH5975 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341.
ButG1161 whenG3752 ye shall hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 commotionsG181, beG4422 notG3361 terrifiedG4422: forG1063 these thingsG5023 mustG1163 firstG4412 come to passG1096; butG235 the endG5056 is notG3756 by and byG2112.
And he gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the heathenH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.
ThenG5119 said heG3004 unto themG846, NationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932:
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
Shall a trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in the cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 not be afraidH2729? shall there be evilH7451 in a cityH5892, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6213 it? {be afraid: or, run together? the LORD…: or, shall not the L.doe somewhat?}
ForG3754 theseG3778 beG1526 the daysG2250 of vengeanceG1557, that all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 may be fulfilledG4137.
ButG1161 woeG3759 untoG1722 them that are with childG1064+G2192, andG2532 to them that give suckG2337, inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250! forG1063 there shall beG2071 greatG3173 distressG318 inG1909 the landG1093, andG2532 wrathG3709 uponG1722 thisG5129 peopleG2992.
AndG2532 they shall fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, andG2532 shall be led away captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 JerusalemG2419 shall beG2071 trodden downG3961 ofG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 be fulfilledG4137.
