Chapter 15
6Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. 7But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is a reward for your work.'
8Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord.
9And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11They sacrificed to the Lord on that day seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the spoils they had brought.
12They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;
