2 Chronicles 15:9

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 of¹ Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities ^awhich 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 ^athose 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 ^aAnd they offered to the Lord¹ at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the² spoil they had brought.

Strangers ... - i. e. "Israelites of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh." The separation of the two kingdoms had made their Israelite brethren "strangers," or "foreigners," to Judah.
