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.

He that sacrificethH2076 unto any godH430, saveH1115 unto the LORDH3068 only, he shall be utterly destroyedH2763.
And they smoteH5221 the menH582 that were at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, both smallH6996 and greatH1419: so that they weariedH3811 themselves to findH4672 the doorH6607.
And that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, shall be put to deathH4191; because he hath spokenH1696 to turnH5627 you away from the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, to thrustH5080 thee out of the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee to walk inH3212. So shalt thou putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from the midstH7130 of thee. {to turn…: Heb. revolt against the LORD}
If thy brotherH251, the sonH1121 of thy motherH517, or thy sonH1121, or thy daughterH1323, or the wifeH802 of thy bosomH2436, or thy friendH7453, which is as thine own soulH5315, enticeH5496 thee secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, thou, nor thy fathersH1;
Namely, of the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 which are round aboutH5439 you, nighH7138 unto thee, or far offH7350 from thee, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the other endH7097 of the earthH776;
Thou shalt not consentH14 unto him, nor hearkenH8085 unto him; neither shall thine eyeH5869 pityH2347 him, neither shalt thou spareH2550, neither shalt thou concealH3680 him:
But thou shalt surelyH2026 killH2026 him; thine handH3027 shall be firstH7223 upon him to put him to deathH4191, and afterwardsH314 the handH3027 of all the peopleH5971.
And thou shalt stoneH5619 him with stonesH68, that he dieH4191; because he hath soughtH1245 to thrust thee awayH5080 from the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which brought thee outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650. {bondage: Heb. bondmen}
And all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall doH6213 no moreH3254 anyH1697 such wickednessH7451 as this is amongH7130 you.
If thou shalt hearH8085 say in oneH259 of thy citiesH5892, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee to dwellH3427 there, sayingH559,
Certain menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, are gone outH3318 from amongH7130 you, and have withdrawnH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which ye have not knownH3045; {the children…: or, naughty men}
Then shalt thou enquireH1875, and make searchH2713, and askH7592 diligentlyH3190; and, behold, if it be truthH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that suchH2063 abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 amongH7130 you;
Thou shalt surelyH5221 smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of that cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, destroying it utterlyH2763, and all that is therein, and the cattleH929 thereof, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And it came to pass, that at midnightH2677+H3915 the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the firstbornH1060 of PharaohH6547 that satH3427 on his throneH3678 unto the firstbornH1060 of the captiveH7628 that was in the dungeonH1004+H953; and all the firstbornH1060 of cattleH929. {dungeon: Heb. house of the pit}
If there be foundH4672 amongH7130 you, within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, manH376 or womanH802, that hath wroughtH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in transgressingH5674 his covenantH1285,
And hath goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, either the sunH8121, or moonH3394, or any of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, which I have not commandedH6680;
And it be toldH5046 thee, and thou hast heardH8085 of it, and enquiredH1875 diligentlyH3190, and, behold, it be trueH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that such abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478:
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 that manH376 or that womanH802, which have committedH6213 that wickedH7451 thingH1697, unto thy gatesH8179, even that manH376 or that womanH802, and shalt stoneH5619 them with stonesH68, till they dieH4191.
Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939; {gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027.
He will blessH1288 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, both smallH6996 and greatH1419. {and: Heb. with}
HavingG5177 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 helpG1947 ofG3844 GodG2316, I continueG2476 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250, witnessingG3140 bothG5037 to smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004 none other thingsG3762 thanG1622 those whichG3739+G5037 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 did sayG2980 shouldG3195 comeG1096:
AndG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 the great menG3175, andG2532 the rich menG4145, andG2532 the chief captainsG5506, andG2532 the mighty menG1415, andG2532 everyG3956 bondmanG1401, andG2532 everyG3956 free manG1658, hidG2928 themselvesG1438 inG1519 the densG4693 andG2532 inG1519 the rocksG4073 of the mountainsG3735;
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the deadG3498, smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 the booksG975 were openedG455: andG2532 anotherG243 bookG975 was openedG455, whichG3739 isG2076 the book of lifeG2222: andG2532 the deadG3498 were judgedG2919 out ofG1537 those things which were writtenG1125 inG1722 the booksG975, according toG2596 theirG846 worksG2041.
