1Then the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded,

1וַעֲזַרְיָ֙הוּ֙ בֶּן־ עוֹדֵ֔ד הָיְתָ֥ה עָלָ֖יו ר֥וּחַ אֱלֹהִֽים׃

2and he went out to meet King Asa as he was returning from the battle. “Listen to me, Asa!” he shouted. “Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The LORD will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.

2וַיֵּצֵא֮ לִפְנֵ֣י אָסָא֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ שְׁמָע֕וּנִי אָסָ֖א וְכָל־ יְהוּדָ֣ה וּבִנְיָמִ֑ן יְהוָ֤ה עִמָּכֶם֙ בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶ֣ם עִמּ֔וֹ וְאִֽם־ תִּדְרְשֻׁ֙הוּ֙ יִמָּצֵ֣א לָכֶ֔ם וְאִם־ תַּעַזְבֻ֖הוּ יַעֲזֹ֥ב אֶתְכֶֽם׃ ס

3For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them.

3וְיָמִ֥ים רַבִּ֖ים לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְלֹ֣א ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱמֶ֗ת וּלְלֹ֛א כֹּהֵ֥ן מוֹרֶ֖ה וּלְלֹ֥א תוֹרָֽה׃

4But whenever they were in trouble and turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him out, they found him.

4וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ בַּצַּר־ ל֔וֹ עַל־ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיְבַקְשֻׁ֖הוּ וַיִּמָּצֵ֥א לָהֶֽם׃

5“During those dark times, it was not safe to travel. Problems troubled the people of every land.

5וּבָעִתִּ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם אֵ֥ין שָׁל֖וֹם לַיּוֹצֵ֣א וְלַבָּ֑א כִּ֚י מְהוּמֹ֣ת רַבּ֔וֹת עַ֥ל כָּל־ יוֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאֲרָצֽוֹת׃

6Nation fought against nation, and city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem.

6וְכֻתְּת֥וּ גוֹי־ בְּג֖וֹי וְעִ֣יר בְּעִ֑יר כִּֽי־ אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֲמָמָ֖ם בְּכָל־ צָרָֽה׃

7But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”

7וְאַתֶּ֣ם חִזְק֔וּ וְאַל־ יִרְפּ֖וּ יְדֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֛י יֵ֥שׁ שָׂכָ֖ר לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶֽם׃ ס

8When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet, he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the LORD, which stood in front of the entry room of the LORD’s Temple.

8וְכִשְׁמֹ֨עַ אָסָ֜א הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֗לֶּה וְהַנְּבוּאָה֮ עֹדֵ֣ד הַנָּבִיא֒ הִתְחַזַּ֗ק וַיַּעֲבֵ֤ר הַשִּׁקּוּצִים֙ מִכָּל־ אֶ֤רֶץ יְהוּדָה֙ וּבִנְיָמִ֔ן וּמִן־ הֶ֣עָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לָכַ֖ד מֵהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיְחַדֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־ מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֕ר לִפְנֵ֖י אוּלָ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

9Then Asa called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin, along with the people of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them. For many from Israel had moved to Judah during Asa’s reign when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

9וַיִּקְבֹּ֗ץ אֶת־ כָּל־ יְהוּדָה֙ וּבִנְיָמִ֔ן וְהַגָּרִים֙ עִמָּהֶ֔ם מֵאֶפְרַ֥יִם וּמְנַשֶּׁ֖ה וּמִשִּׁמְע֑וֹן כִּֽי־ נָפְל֨וּ עָלָ֤יו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל֙ לָרֹ֔ב בִּרְאֹתָ֕ם כִּֽי־ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֖יו עִמּֽוֹ׃ פ

10The people gathered at Jerusalem in late spring, during the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

10וַיִּקָּבְצ֥וּ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֑י לִשְׁנַ֥ת חֲמֵשׁ־ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה לְמַלְכ֥וּת אָסָֽא׃

11On that day they sacrificed to the LORD 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep and goats from the plunder they had taken in the battle.

11וַיִּזְבְּח֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא מִן־ הַשָּׁלָ֖ל הֵבִ֑יאוּ בָּקָר֙ שְׁבַ֣ע מֵא֔וֹת וְצֹ֖אן שִׁבְעַ֥ת אֲלָפִֽים׃

12Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.

12וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ בַבְּרִ֔ית לִדְר֕וֹשׁ אֶת־ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבוֹתֵיהֶ֑ם בְּכָל־ לְבָבָ֖ם וּבְכָל־ נַפְשָֽׁם׃

13They agreed that anyone who refused to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death—whether young or old, man or woman.

13וְכֹ֨ל אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹֽא־ יִדְרֹ֛שׁ לַיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יוּמָ֑ת לְמִן־ קָטֹן֙ וְעַד־ גָּד֔וֹל לְמֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־ אִשָּֽׁה׃

14They shouted out their oath of loyalty to the LORD with trumpets blaring and rams’ horns sounding.

14וַיִּשָּֽׁבְעוּ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה בְּק֥וֹל גָּד֖וֹל וּבִתְרוּעָ֑ה וּבַחֲצֹצְר֖וֹת וּבְשׁוֹפָרֽוֹת׃

15All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the LORD gave them rest from their enemies on every side.

15וַיִּשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־ יְהוּדָ֜ה עַל־ הַשְּׁבוּעָ֗ה כִּ֤י בְכָל־ לְבָבָם֙ נִשְׁבָּ֔עוּ וּבְכָל־ רְצוֹנָ֣ם בִּקְשֻׁ֔הוּ וַיִּמָּצֵ֖א לָהֶ֑ם וַיָּ֧נַח יְהוָ֛ה לָהֶ֖ם מִסָּבִֽיב׃

16King Asa even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene pole, broke it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

16וְגַֽם־ מַעֲכָ֞ה אֵ֣ם ׀ אָסָ֣א הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הֱסִירָהּ֙ מִגְּבִירָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־ עָשְׂתָ֥ה לַאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה מִפְלָ֑צֶת וַיִּכְרֹ֤ת אָסָא֙ אֶת־ מִפְלַצְתָּ֔הּ וַיָּ֕דֶק וַיִּשְׂרֹ֖ף בְּנַ֥חַל קִדְרֽוֹן׃

17Although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel, Asa’s heart remained completely faithful throughout his life.

17וְהַ֨בָּמ֔וֹת לֹא־ סָ֖רוּ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֑ל רַ֧ק לְבַב־ אָסָ֛א הָיָ֥ה שָׁלֵ֖ם כָּל־ יָמָֽיו׃

18He brought into the Temple of God the silver and gold and the various items that he and his father had dedicated.

18וַיָּבֵ֞א אֶת־ קָדְשֵׁ֥י אָבִ֛יו וְקָֽדָשָׁ֖יו בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כֶּ֥סֶף וְזָהָ֖ב וְכֵלִֽים׃

19So there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

19וּמִלְחָמָ֖ה לֹ֣א הָיָ֑תָה עַ֛ד שְׁנַת־ שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים וְחָמֵ֖שׁ לְמַלְכ֥וּת אָסָֽא׃ ס
