2 Chronicles 15:8

6 ^aSo 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 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.

12 Then they ^aentered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

13 ^aand whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel ^bwas 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 ^asought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the Lord gave them ^brest all around.
