8 When Asa (healer) heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah (praised) and Benjamin (son of the right hand) and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim (doubly fruitful). He then restored the altar of the LORD {YHWH} that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple. 9 And he assembled all Judah (praised) and Benjamin (son of the right hand), along with those from the tribes of Ephraim (doubly fruitful), Manasseh (causing to forget), and Simeon (heard) who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel (he wrestles with God) when they saw that the LORD his God {YHWH Elohaw} was with him. 10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem (city of peace) in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s (healer) reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the LORD {YHWH} seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back. 12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. 2 Chronicles 15:8-12, Berean Annotated Bible.
