2 Chronicles 15:8–15

⁸When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of^a Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols^o from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured^p in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar^q of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.

⁹Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers^r had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

¹⁰They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month^s of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. ¹¹At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder^t they had brought back. ¹²They entered into a covenant^u to seek the Lord,^v the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. ¹³All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death,^w whether small or great, man or woman. ¹⁴They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. ¹⁵All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God^x eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest^y on every side.
