2 Chronicles 15 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And the Spirit of Elohim came upon Azaryahu son of Oḏ

² And he went out to face Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Yehuḏ

³ “And for many days Yisra’ĕ

⁴ “But in their distress they turned to יהוה  Elohim of Yisra’ĕ

⁵ “And in those days there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, for great disturbances were on all the inhabitants of the lands,

⁶ and they were beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for Elohim troubled them with every distress.

⁷ “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work!”

⁸ And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oḏ

⁹ and gathered all Yehuḏ

¹⁰ And they gathered together at Yerushalayim in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,

¹¹ and offered to יהוה  on that day seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil which they had brought.

¹² And they entered into a covenant to seek יהוה  Elohim of their fathers with all their heart and with all their being;

¹³ and whoever would not seek יהוה  Elohim of Yisra’ĕ

¹⁴ And they swore to יהוה  with a loud voice, with shouting and with trumpets and with rams’ horns.

¹⁵ And all Yehuḏ

¹⁶ And he also removed Maʽ

¹⁷ Yet the high places were not removed from Yisra’ĕ

¹⁸ And he brought into the House of Elohim the set-apart items of his father and his own set-apart items: silver and gold and utensils.

¹⁹ And there was no more fighting until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
