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.

And AsaH609 and the peopleH5971 that were with him pursuedH7291 them unto GerarH1642: and the EthiopiansH3569 were overthrownH5307, that they could not recoverH4241 themselves; for they were destroyedH7665 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his hostH4264; and they carried awayH5375 veryH3966 muchH7235 spoilH7998. {destroyed: Heb. broken}
