2 Chronicles chapter 15
English Standard Version
1
The Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded,
2
and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The
Lord
is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3
For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law,
4
but when in their distress they turned to the
Lord
, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5
In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.
6
They were broken in pieces. Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress.
7
But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."
8
As soon as Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded, he took courage and put away the detestable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of the
Lord
that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the
Lord
.
9
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were residing with them, for great numbers had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
They were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11
They sacrificed to the
Lord
on that day from the spoil that they had brought 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep.
12
And they entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
13
but that whoever would not seek the
Lord
, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
14
They swore an oath to the
Lord
with a loud voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with horns.
15
And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the
Lord
gave them rest all around.
16
Even Maacah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made a detestable image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17
But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days.
18
And he brought into the house of God the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19
And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
New International Version
1
The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded.
2
He went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The
Lord
is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3
For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.
4
But in their distress they turned to the
Lord
, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them.
5
In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil.
6
One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress.
7
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
8
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the
Lord
that was in front of the portico of the
Lord
’s temple.
9
Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11
At that time they sacrificed to the
Lord
seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder they had brought back.
12
They entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.
13
All who would not seek the
Lord
, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
14
They took an oath to the
Lord
with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns.
15
All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the
Lord
gave them rest on every side.
16
King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17
Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the
Lord
all his life.
18
He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
19
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
New American Standard Bible
1
Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,
2
and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, 'Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the
Lord
is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.
3
For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without
the
Law.
4
But in their distress they turned to the
Lord
God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.
5
In those times there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.
6
Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress.
7
But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is a reward for your work.'
8
Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the
Lord
which was in front of the porch of the
Lord
.
9
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11
They sacrificed to the
Lord
on that day seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the spoils they had brought.
12
They entered into the covenant to seek the
Lord
God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;
13
and whoever would not seek the
Lord
God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
14
Moreover, they made an oath to the
Lord
with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and with horns.
15
All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the
Lord
gave them rest on every side.
16
He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the
position of
queen mother, because she had made an abominable image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her abominable image, crushed
it,
and burned
it
at the brook Kidron.
17
But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa’s heart was blameless all his days.
18
He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver, gold, and utensils.
19
And there was no
more
war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, hear me. The

3
For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without instruction,
4
but when they turned to the
Lord
God of Israel in their distress and sought him, he was found by them.
5
In those times there was no peace for those who went about their daily activities because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.
6
Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every possible distress.
7
But as for you, be strong; don’t give up, for your work has a reward."
8
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the abhorrent idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He renovated the altar of the
Lord
that was in front of the portico of the
Lord
’s temple.
9
Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, as well as those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were residing among them, for they had defected to him from Israel in great numbers when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
They were gathered in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11
At that time they sacrificed to the
Lord
seven hundred cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from all the plunder they had brought.
12
Then they entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
God of their ancestors with all their heart and all their soul.
13
Whoever would not seek the

God of Israel would be put to death, young or old, man or woman.
14
They took an oath to the
Lord
in a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with rams’ horns.
15
All Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their mind. They had sought him with all their heart, and he was found by them. So the
Lord
gave them rest on every side.
16
King Asa also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa chopped down her obscene image, then crushed it and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17
The high places were not taken away from Israel; nevertheless, Asa was wholeheartedly devoted his entire life.
18
He brought his father’s consecrated gifts and his own consecrated gifts into God’s temple: silver, gold, and utensils.
19
There was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
New Living Translation
1
Then the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded,
2
and he went out to meet King Asa as he was returning from the battle. 'Listen to me, Asa!' he shouted. 'Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The
Lord
will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3
For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them.
4
But whenever they were in trouble and turned to the
Lord
, the God of Israel, and sought him out, they found him.
5
During those dark times, it was not safe to travel. Problems troubled the people of every land.
6
Nation fought against nation, and city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem.
7
But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.'
8
When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet, he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the
Lord
, which stood in front of the entry room of the
Lord
’s Temple.
9
Then Asa called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin, along with the people of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them. For many from Israel had moved to Judah during Asa’s reign when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
The people gathered at Jerusalem in late spring, during the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11
On that day they sacrificed to the
Lord
700 cattle and 7,000 sheep and goats from the plunder they had taken in the battle.
12
Then they entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.
13
They agreed that anyone who refused to seek the
Lord
, the God of Israel, would be put to death — whether young or old, man or woman.
14
They shouted out their oath of loyalty to the
Lord
with trumpets blaring and rams’ horns sounding.
15
All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the
Lord
gave them rest from their enemies on every side.
16
King Asa even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene pole, broke it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17
Although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel, Asa’s heart remained completely faithful throughout his life.
18
He brought into the Temple of God the silver and gold and the various items that he and his father had dedicated.
19
So there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
King James Version
1
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2
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.
3
Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4
But when they in their trouble did turn unto the
Lord
God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
5
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.
6
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
8
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
.
9
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.
10
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11
And they offered unto the
Lord
the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12
And they entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
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
And they sware unto the
Lord
with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
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.
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.
17
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
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.
19
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
New King James Version
1
Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
2
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The
Lord
is
with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
3
For a long time Israel
has been
without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;
4
but when in their trouble they turned to the
Lord
God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.
5
And in those times
there was
no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil
was
on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6
So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.
7
But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
8
And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the
Lord
that
was
before the vestibule of the
Lord
.
9
Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the
Lord
his God was with him.
10
So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11
And they offered to the
Lord
at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil they had brought.
12
Then they entered into a covenant to seek the
Lord
God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13
and whoever would not seek the
Lord
God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14
Then they took an oath before the
Lord
with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams’ horns.
15
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the
Lord
gave them rest all around.
16
Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from
being
queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned
it
by the Brook Kidron.
17
But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.
18
He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
19
And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
