2 Chronicles 15:12-19 ▼

12 and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,

13 and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.

14 And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,

15 and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.

16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:

17 yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.

18 And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.

19 And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
