| 15:1 | And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: |
| 15:2 | And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. |
| 15:3 | Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. |
| 15:4 | But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. |
| 15:5 | And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. |
| 15:6 | And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. |
| 15:7 | Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. |
| 15:8 | And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD. |
| 15:8 | 亞撒聽見這話、和俄德兒子先知亞撒利雅的豫言、就壯起膽來、在猶大、便雅憫全地、並以法蓮山地所奪的各城、將可憎之物、盡都除掉．又在耶和華殿的廊前、重新修築耶和華的壇。 |
| 15:8 | 亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言，就壮起胆来，在犹大，便雅悯全地，并以法莲山地所夺的各城，将可憎之物尽都除掉，又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛。 |
| jos:24:33 | And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim. |
| 2ch:17:2 | And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. |
| 1ki:15:12 | And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. |
| 2ch:14:3 | For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: |
| 2ch:8:12 | Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, |
| COBL | |
| 15:9 | And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. |
| 15:10 | So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. |
| 15:11 | And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. |
| 15:12 | And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; |
| 15:13 | That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. |
| 15:14 | And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. |
| 15:15 | And 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 of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about. |
| 15:16 | And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. |
| 15:17 | But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. |
| 15:18 | And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. |
| 15:19 | And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. |
