[1] The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded. [2] He went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. [3] Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law. [4] But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, 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, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands. [6] They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity. [7] But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.” [8] When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed Yahweh’s altar that was before Yahweh’s porch. [9] He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him. [10] So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. [11] They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, from the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep. [12] They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; [13] and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. [14] They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets. [15] 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 by them. Then Yahweh gave them rest all around. [16] Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned 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] He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house. [19] There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

The Prophecy of Oded

[1] And the Spirit H7307 of God H430 came upon Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Oded: H5752 [2] and he went out H3318 to meet H6440 Asa, H609§ and said H559 unto him, Hear H8085 ye me, Asa, H609 and all Judah H3063 and Benjamin; H1144 The Lord H3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek H1875 him, he will be found H4672 of you; but if ye forsake H5800 him, he will forsake H5800 you. [3] Now for a long H7227 season H3117 Israel H3478 hath been without H3808 the true H571 God, H430 and without a teaching H3384 priest, H3548 and without law. H8451 [4] But when they in their trouble H6862 did turn H7725 unto the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 and sought H1245 him, he was found H4672 of them. [5] And in those times H6256 there was no peace H7965 to him that went out, H3318 nor to him that came in, H935 but great H7227 vexations H4103 were upon all the inhabitants H3427 of the countries. H776 [6] And nation H1471 was destroyed H3807§ of nation, H1471 and city H5892 of city: H5892 for H3588 God H430 did vex H2000 them with all adversity. H6869 [7] Be ye strong H2388 therefore, and let not your hands H3027 be weak: H7503 for H3588 your work H6468 shall be H3426 rewarded. H7939 [8] And when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 words, H1697 and the prophecy H5016 of Oded H5752 the prophet, H5030 he took courage, H2388 and put away H5674 the abominable§ idols H8251 out of all the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin, H1144 and out of the cities H5892 which H834 he had taken H3920 from mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 and renewed H2318 H853 the altar H4196 of the Lord, H3068 that was before H6440 the porch H197 of the Lord. H3068 [9] And he gathered H6908 all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin, H1144 and the strangers H1481 with H5973 them out of Ephraim H669 and Manasseh, H4519 and out of Simeon: H8095 for H3588 they fell H5307 to him out of Israel H3478 in abundance, H7230 when they saw H7200 that the Lord H3068 his God H430 was with him. [10] So they gathered themselves together H6908 at Jerusalem H3389 in the third H7992 month, H2320 in the fifteenth H2568 H6240 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa. H609 [11] And they offered H2076 unto the Lord H3068 the same time, H3117§ of the spoil H7998 which they had brought, H935 seven H7651 hundred H3967 oxen H1241 and seven H7651 thousand H505 sheep. H6629 [12] And they entered H935 into a covenant H1285 to seek H1875 H853 the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 with all their heart H3824 and with all their soul; H5315 [13] that whosoever would not seek H1875 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 should be put to death, H4191 whether H4480 small H6996 or great, H1419 whether man H376 or woman. H802 [14] And they sware H7650 unto the Lord H3068 with a loud H1419 voice, H6963 and with shouting, H8643 and with trumpets, H2689 and with cornets. H7782 [15] And all Judah H3063 rejoiced H8055 at the oath: H7621 for H3588 they had sworn H7650 with all their heart, H3824 and sought H1245 him with their whole desire; H7522 and he was found H4672 of them: and the Lord H3068 gave them rest H5117 round about. H5439 [16] And also concerning Maachah H4601 the mother H517 of Asa H609 the king, H4428 he removed H5493 her from being queen, H1377 because she had made H6213 an idol H4656§ in a grove: H842 and Asa H609 cut down H3772 her idol, H4656 and stamped H1854 it, and burnt H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron. H6939 [17] But the high places H1116 were not taken away H5493 out of Israel: H3478 nevertheless the heart H3824 of Asa H609 was perfect H8003 all H3605 his days. H3117 [18] And he brought H935 into the house H1004 of God H430 the things that his father H1 had dedicated, H6944 and that he himself had dedicated, H6944 silver, H3701 and gold, H2091 and vessels. H3627 [19] And there was no more war H4421 unto H5704 the five H2568 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa. H609
