2 Chronicles 15 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Chronicles 15 (BYZ)

[1] και αζαριας υιος ωδηδ εγενετο επ αυτον πνευμα κυριου
[2] και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν ασα και παντι ιουδα και βενιαμιν και ειπεν ακουσατε μου ασα και πας ιουδα και βενιαμιν κυριος μεθ υμων εν τω ειναι υμας μετ αυτου και εαν εκζητησητε αυτον ευρεθησεται υμιν και εαν εγκαταλιπητε αυτον εγκαταλειψει υμας
[3] και ημεραι πολλαι τω ισραηλ εν ου θεω αληθινω και ουχ ιερεως υποδεικνυοντος και εν ου νομω
[4] και επιστρεψει επι κυριον θεον ισραηλ και ευρεθησεται αυτοις
[5] και εν εκεινω τω καιρω ουκ εστιν ειρηνη τω εκπορευομενω και τω εισπορευομενω οτι εκστασις κυριου επι παντας τους κατοικουντας τας χωρας
[6] και πολεμησει εθνος προς εθνος και πολις προς πολιν οτι ο θεος εξεστησεν αυτους εν παση θλιψει
[7] και υμεις ισχυσατε και μη εκλυεσθωσαν αι χειρες υμων οτι εστιν μισθος τη εργασια υμων
[8] και εν τω ακουσαι τους λογους τουτους και την προφητειαν αδαδ του προφητου και κατισχυσεν και εξεβαλεν τα βδελυγματα απο πασης της γης ιουδα και βενιαμιν και απο των πολεων ων κατεσχεν εν ορει εφραιμ και ενεκαινισεν το θυσιαστηριον κυριου ο ην εμπροσθεν του ναου κυριου
[9] και εξεκκλησιασεν τον ιουδαν και βενιαμιν και τους προσηλυτους τους παροικουντας μετ αυτου απο εφραιμ και απο μανασση και απο συμεων οτι προσετεθησαν προς αυτον πολλοι του ισραηλ εν τω ιδειν αυτους οτι κυριος ο θεος αυτου μετ αυτου
[10] και συνηχθησαν εις ιερουσαλημ εν τω μηνι τω τριτω εν τω πεντεκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας ασα
[11] και εθυσεν τω κυριω εν εκεινη τη ημερα απο των σκυλων ων ηνεγκαν μοσχους επτακοσιους και προβατα επτακισχιλια
[12] και διηλθεν εν διαθηκη ζητησαι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων εξ ολης της καρδιας και εξ ολης της ψυχης
[13] και πας ος εαν μη εκζητηση κυριον θεον ισραηλ αποθανειται απο νεωτερου εως πρεσβυτερου απο ανδρος εως γυναικος
[14] και ωμοσαν εν τω κυριω εν φωνη μεγαλη και εν σαλπιγξιν και εν κερατιναις
[15] και ηυφρανθησαν πας ιουδα περι του ορκου οτι εξ ολης της ψυχης ωμοσαν και εν παση θελησει εζητησαν αυτον και ευρεθη αυτοις και κατεπαυσεν αυτοις κυριος κυκλοθεν
[16] και την μααχα την μητερα αυτου μετεστησεν του μη ειναι τη ασταρτη λειτουργουσαν και κατεκοψεν το ειδωλον και κατεκαυσεν εν χειμαρρω κεδρων
[17] πλην τα υψηλα ουκ απεστησαν ετι υπηρχεν εν τω ισραηλ αλλ η καρδια ασα εγενετο πληρης πασας τας ημερας αυτου
[18] και εισηνεγκεν τα αγια δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και τα αγια οικου κυριου του θεου αργυριον και χρυσιον και σκευη
[19] και πολεμος ουκ ην μετ αυτου εως του πεμπτου και τριακοστου ετους της βασιλειας ασα
