And when Asa [healer; injurious?] heard these words, and the prophecy of ‘Oded [restorer] the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and renewed the altar of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that [was] before the porch of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits (spirit guides), and the wizards, and the images (household gods), and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], did Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the Book that Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah] the priest found in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
And the high places that [were] before Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which [were] on the right hand of the Mount of Destruction, which Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had built for ‘Ashtoret [star] the abomination of the people of Tzidon [Hunting], and for K’mosh [Subduer] the abomination of the Mo’avi [of his father], and for Milkom [great king] the abomination of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], did the king defile.
And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] spoke unto all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, If you2f do return unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)] from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them], saying, Return you2f now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you2f shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you2f have not inclined your ear, nor listened unto me.
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and take away the foreskins of your heart, you2f men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], saying, Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you2f now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
Be you2f not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; Turn you2f now from your evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

[And] all his days they departed not from following the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers.
