2 Chronicles 15:8-15

Azariah the Prophet Warns Asa

⁸Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord. ⁹And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. ¹⁰So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. ¹¹They sacrificed to the Lord on that day seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the spoils they had brought. ¹²They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul; ¹³and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. ¹⁴Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and with horns. ¹⁵All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
