So they gathered together
This phrase indicates a collective action, a unifying moment for the people of Judah. The Hebrew root for "gathered" is "קָבַץ" (qavats), which conveys the idea of assembling or collecting. This gathering was not merely a physical assembly but a spiritual convergence, reflecting a communal commitment to seek the Lord. Historically, such gatherings were significant in Israel's history, often marking moments of covenant renewal or national repentance.

in Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the city of David, holds profound significance as the spiritual and political center of Israel. It is the location of the Temple, the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The choice of Jerusalem for this gathering underscores the centrality of worship and the importance of aligning the nation's heart with God's purposes. Archaeologically, Jerusalem's prominence is well-documented, serving as a focal point for Israel's religious life.

in the third month
The third month in the Hebrew calendar is Sivan, which corresponds to late May or early June. This timing is significant as it aligns with the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), a time of thanksgiving and offering of firstfruits. The gathering during this month suggests a season of renewal and dedication, aligning with the agricultural cycle and the spiritual rhythm of the nation.

of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign
Asa, the third king of Judah, is noted for his reforms and efforts to return the nation to the worship of Yahweh. The fifteenth year of his reign marks a period of consolidation and spiritual renewal. Asa's leadership is characterized by a commitment to remove idolatry and restore the covenant relationship with God. This specific year signifies a milestone in his reign, highlighting the ongoing process of reform and the people's response to divine guidance.

Verse 10. - In the third month. The "Feast of Weeks" began about the sixth of this third month Sivan (June). In the fifteenth year. It has been conjectured from ch. 14:1 that Zerah the Ethiopian, or Cushite, invaded Judah in Asa's eleventh year. The present sacrificial festival, in his fifteenth year, evidently was held very shortly after the close of Asa's victory over Zerah This infers a rather longer duration of the war than is otherwise to be gathered from the face of the history. The interval, it is true, may be explained by supposing that Ass lingered long to restore the state of things where Zerah's vast host had unsettled it.
