亚撒的改革
15 上帝的灵降在俄德的儿子亚撒利雅身上， 2 他便出来迎接亚撒，对他说：“亚撒啊，所有的犹大人和便雅悯人啊，请听我说！你们若顺从耶和华，祂必与你们同在。你们若寻求祂，祂必让你们寻见。你们若背弃祂，祂必离弃你们。 3 以色列人已经许久没有真神，没有祭司教导，也没有律法。 4 然而，他们在患难时归向以色列的上帝耶和华，寻求祂，祂就让他们寻见。 5 那时，人们出入不得平安，因为各地都有动乱。 6 邦国与邦国、城邑与城邑互相攻击破坏，因为上帝用各样的灾难扰乱他们。 7 但你们要刚强，不要双手发软，因为你们必因所行的而得奖赏。”
8 亚撒听了俄德的儿子亚撒利雅先知的预言，就鼓起勇气在犹大和便雅悯全境以及他在以法莲山区夺取的各城邑铲除可憎的神像，并在耶和华殿的走廊前重修耶和华的祭坛。
9 当时，有许多以法莲人、玛拿西人和西缅人看见亚撒的上帝耶和华与他同在，就从以色列来投奔他，寄居在犹大。亚撒把他们和所有的犹大人与便雅悯人都招聚在一起。 10 亚撒执政第十五年三月，他们聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 当天，他们从掳物中取出七百头牛和七千只羊献给耶和华。 12 他们又与他们祖先的上帝耶和华立约，要全心全意地寻求祂。 13 凡不寻求以色列的上帝耶和华的，无论男女老幼，一律处死。 14 他们高声向耶和华起誓，并吹响号角。 15 犹大人都为所起的誓而欢喜快乐，因他们诚心起誓、诚意寻求耶和华，耶和华就让他们寻见，并赐他们四境平安。
16 亚撒王废除了他祖母玛迦的太后之位，因为她造了可憎的亚舍拉神像。亚撒将她的神像砍倒、打碎，烧毁在汲沦溪旁。 17 尽管他还没有把丘坛从以色列除去，但他一生对耶和华忠心。 18 他将他父亲和自己奉献给上帝的金银及器皿都带到上帝的殿里。
19 从那时直到亚撒执政第三十五年，国中都没有战争。

Revival under Asa
15 The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded.(A) 2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, hear me. The Lord is with you(B) when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you,(C) but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.(D) 3 For many years Israel has been without the true God,(E) without a teaching priest, and without instruction,(F) 4 but when they turned to the Lord God of Israel in their distress and sought him, he was found by them. 5 In those times there was no peace for those who went about their daily activities because the residents of the lands had many conflicts. 6 Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every possible distress. 7 But as for you, be strong; don’t give up,[a] for your work has a reward.”(G)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the abhorrent idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim.(H) He renovated the altar of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.(I) 9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, as well as those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were residing among them, for they had defected to him from Israel in great numbers when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.(J)
10 They were gathered in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from all the plunder they had brought.(K) 12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their ancestors with all their heart and all their soul.(L) 13 Whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel would be put to death, young or old,[b] man or woman.(M) 14 They took an oath to the Lord in a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with rams’ horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They had sought him with all sincerity, and he was found by them.(N) So the Lord gave them rest on every side.(O)
16 King Asa(P) also removed Maacah, his grandmother,[c](Q) from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa chopped down her obscene image, then crushed it and burned it in the Kidron Valley.(R) 17 The high places were not taken away from Israel; nevertheless, Asa was wholeheartedly devoted his entire life.[d] 18 He brought his father’s consecrated gifts and his own consecrated gifts into God’s temple: silver, gold, and utensils.
19 There was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
