2 Chronicles 15:12

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.

16 Also he removed ^aMaachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of² Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

17 But ^athe high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.

18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
