American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of OdedH5752: and he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: JehovahH3068 is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. Now for a longH7227 seasonH3117 IsraelH3478 was withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and without a teachingH3384 priestH3548, and without lawH8451: But when in their distressH6862 they turnedH7725 unto JehovahH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and soughtH1245 him, he was foundH4672 of them. And in those timesH6256 there was no peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318, nor to him that came inH935; but greatH7227 vexationsH4103 were upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landsH776. And they were brokenH3807 in pieces, nationH1471 against nationH1471, and cityH5892 against cityH5892; for GodH430 did vexH2000 them with all adversityH6869. But be ye strongH2388, and let not your handsH3027 be slackH7503; for your workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939. And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominationsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from the hill-countryH2022 of EphraimH669; and he renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of JehovahH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of JehovahH3068. And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and them that sojournedH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that JehovahH3068 his GodH430 was with him. So they gathered themselves togetherH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the fifteenthH2568 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609. And they sacrificedH2076 unto JehovahH3068 in that dayH3117, of the spoilH7998 which they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. And they enteredH935 into the covenantH1285 to seekH1875 JehovahH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315; and that whosoever would not seekH1875 JehovahH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802. And they swareH7650 unto JehovahH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornetsH7782. And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621; for they had swornH7650 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desireH7522; and he was foundH4672 of them: and JehovahH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439. And also MaacahH4601, the motherH517 of AsaH609 the kingH4428, he removedH5493 from being queenH1377, because she had madeH6213 an abominable imageH4656 for an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cut downH3772 her imageH4656, and made dustH1854 of it, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. But the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493 out of IsraelH3478: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 all his daysH3117. And he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and that he himself had dedicatedH6944, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627. And there was no more warH4421 unto the fiveH2568 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
