2 Chronicles 15:13
Verse 13 of 19. The 15th of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.
9He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, from the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
15All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them. Then the LORD gave them rest all around.
16Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
