II Chronicles
Chapter 15
1
And the spirit of 'Elohiym/Godhead
came
upon Azariah the son of Oded 2
and
he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him,
Hear
you me, Asa,
and
all Judah and Benjamin;
Jehovah/God
is with you,
while
you be with Him;
and
if you seek Him,
He
will be found of you;
but
if you forsake Him,
He
will forsake you.
3
Now for a long season
Israel
has been without the true 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
without a teaching priest,
and
without law.
4
But when they in their trouble did turn
unto
Jehovah/God 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
and
sought Him,
He
was found of them.
5
And in those times
there
was no peace to him who went out,
nor
to him who 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
'Elohiym/Godhead did vex them with all adversity.
7
Be you 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 Jehovah/God,
that
was before the porch of Jehovah/God.
9
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin,
and
the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh,
and
out of Simeon . . .
for
you.
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 Jehovah/God 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 Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of their fathers
with
all their heart/'right lobe'
and
with all their soul; 13
that
whosoever would not seek Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel
should
be put to death,
whether
small or great,
whether
man or woman.
14
And they swore unto Jehovah/God 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/'right lobe',
and
sought Him with their whole desire;
and
He was found of them
and
Jehovah/God 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/'right lobe' of Asa
was
perfect all his days.
18
And he brought into the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead
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.
