1 And the Spirit H7307 NFS of God H430 NAME-4MP came H1961 VQQ3FS upon H5921 PREP-3MS Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Oded H5752 :
2 And he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS to meet H6440 L-CMP Asa H609 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Hear H8085 ye me , Asa H609 , and all H3605 W-CMS Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 ; The LORD H3068 EDS is with H5973 PREP-3MP you , while ye be H1961 with H5973 PREP-3MS him ; and if H518 ye seek H1875 him , he will be found H4672 of you ; but if H518 W-PART ye forsake H5800 him , he will forsake H5800 you .
3 Now for a long season H7227 AMP Israel H3478 hath been without H3808 L-NPAR the true H571 CFS God H430 CDP , and without H3808 a teaching H3384 priest H3548 , and without H3808 law H8451 .
4 But when they in their trouble H6862 did turn H7725 unto H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , and sought H1245 him , he was found H4672 of them .
5 And in those H1992 D-PPRO-3MP times H6256 there was no H369 NPAR peace H7965 NMS to him that went out H3318 , nor to him that came in H935 , but H3588 CONJ great H7227 AFP vexations H4103 were upon H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the countries H776 .
6 And nation H1471 was destroyed H3807 of nation H1471 , and city H5892 of city H5892 : for H3588 CONJ God H430 EDP did vex H2000 them with all H3605 B-CMS adversity H6869 NFS .
7 Be ye strong H2388 therefore , and let not H408 W-NPAR your hands H3027 be weak H7503 : for H3588 CONJ your work H6468 shall be H3426 PART rewarded H7939 .
8 And when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP , and the prophecy H5016 of Oded H5752 the prophet H5030 , he took courage H2388 , and put away H5674 W-VHI3MS the abominable idols H8251 out of all H3605 M-CMS the land H776 GFS of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 , and out of H4480 W-PREP the cities H5892 which H834 RPRO he had taken H3920 from mount H2022 Ephraim H669 , and renewed H2318 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS , that H834 RPRO was before H6440 L-CMP the porch H197 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
9 And he gathered H6908 all H3605 NMS Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 , and the strangers H1481 with H5973 PREP-3MP them out of Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519 , and out of Simeon H8095 : for H3588 CONJ they fell H5307 VQQ3MP to H5921 PREP-3MS him out of Israel H3478 in abundance H7230 LD-NMS , when they saw H7200 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 CMP-3MS was with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
10 So they gathered themselves together H6908 at Jerusalem H3389 in the third H7992 D-ONUM month H2320 BD-NMS , in the fifteenth H2568 BFS year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa H609 .
11 And they offered H2076 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS time H3117 B-AMS , of H4480 PREP the spoil H7998 which they had brought H935 , seven H7651 hundred H3967 BFP oxen H1241 NMS and seven H7651 RMS thousand H505 sheep H6629 .
12 And they entered H935 W-VQY3MP into a covenant H1285 to seek H1875 the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 with all H3605 B-CMS their heart H3824 and with all H3605 WB-CMS their soul H5315 ;
13 That whosoever H3605 W-CMS would not H3808 ADV seek H1875 the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 of Israel H3478 should be put to death H4191 , whether H4480 small H6996 AMS or H5704 W-PREP great H1419 AMS , whether man H376 or H5704 W-PREP woman H802 NFS .
14 And they swore H7650 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 B-NMS , and with shouting H8643 , and with trumpets H2689 , and with cornets H7782 .
15 And all H3605 CMS Judah H3063 rejoiced H8055 at H5921 PREP the oath H7621 : for H3588 CONJ they had sworn H7650 with all H3605 their heart H3824 , and sought H1245 him with their whole H3605 WB-CMS desire H7522 ; and he was found H4672 of them : and the LORD H3068 EDS gave them rest H5117 round about H5439 .
16 And also H1571 concerning Maachah H4601 the mother H517 GFS of Asa H609 the king H4428 D-NMS , he removed H5493 her from being queen H1377 , because H834 RPRO she had made H6213 VQQ3MS an idol H4656 in a grove H842 : and Asa H609 cut down H3772 her idol H4656 , and stamped H1854 it , and burnt H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron H6939 .
17 But the high places H1116 were not H3808 NADV taken away H5493 VQQ3MP out of Israel H3478 : nevertheless H7535 ADV the heart H3824 of Asa H609 was H1961 VQQ3MS perfect H8003 all H3605 NMS his days H3117 CMP-3MS .
18 And he brought into H935 W-VHY3MS the house H1004 CMS of God H430 D-EDP the things that his father H1 CMS-3MS had dedicated H6944 , and that he himself had dedicated H6944 , silver H3701 NMS , and gold H2091 , and vessels H3627 .
19 And there was H1961 no H3808 NADV more war H4421 unto H5704 PREP the five H2568 and thirtieth H7970 MMP year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa H609 .
