亚撒利雅的预言与劝勉
15 神的灵降在俄德的儿子亚撒利雅身上， 2 亚撒利雅就出来迎接亚撒，对他说：“亚撒和犹大、便雅悯所有的人哪！请听我说。你们跟随耶和华，耶和华就和你们同在；你们寻求他，就必给你们寻见；你们离弃他，他必离弃你们。 3 以色列人没有真神，没有教导他们的祭司，没有律法，已经很久了。 4 但他们在遭难的时候，回转归向耶和华以色列的 神，寻求他，他就给他们寻见。 5 那时，出入的人都没有平安，因为各国的居民都遭遇动乱。 6 这国攻击那国，这城攻击那城，因为 神用各样灾难使他们纷乱。 7 但你们要坚强，不要胆怯，因为你们所行的，必有赏报。”
亚撒的改革(A)
8 亚撒听了这些话，和俄德的儿子亚撒利雅先知所说的预言以后，就勇敢起来，在犹大、便雅悯全地，以及以法莲山地夺取的各城，把可憎的偶像除去，又在耶和华殿的走廊前面，重新修造耶和华的祭坛。 9 他又召聚了犹大和便雅悯所有的人，以及在他们中间寄居的以法莲人、玛拿西人、西缅人。以色列人看见了耶和华亚撒的 神和他同在，就有很多人投奔亚撒。 10 亚撒在位第十五年三月，他们聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 那一天，他们从夺回来的战利品当中，把七百头牛，七千只羊，献给耶和华为祭， 12 他们也立约，要一心一意寻求耶和华他们列祖的 神。 13 不寻求耶和华以色列的 神的，无论男女老幼，都必处死。 14 他们就大声欢呼，吹起号角，向耶和华起誓。 15 犹大众人都为了所起的誓快乐，因为他们一心起誓，尽意寻求耶和华，耶和华就给他们寻见，并且使他们四境安宁。
16 亚撒王也废掉他的祖母玛迦太后的位，因为她曾给亚舍拉做了可憎的像；亚撒把她那可憎的像砍了下来，捣得粉碎，烧在汲沦溪旁。 17 只是邱坛还没有从以色列中除掉，但亚撒的心一生都完全忠于耶和华。 18 亚撒把他父亲所分别为圣，和他自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿，都送进 神的殿里。 19 从那时，直到亚撒在位第三十五年，都没有战争。

Asa’s Religious Reforms
15 Then the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded, 2 and he went out to meet King Asa as he was returning from the battle. “Listen to me, Asa!” he shouted. “Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you. 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them. 4 But whenever they were in trouble and turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him out, they found him.
5 “During those dark times, it was not safe to travel. Problems troubled the people of every land. 6 Nation fought against nation, and city against city, for God was troubling them with every kind of problem. 7 But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet,[a] he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the Lord, which stood in front of the entry room of the Lord’s Temple.
9 Then Asa called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin, along with the people of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them. For many from Israel had moved to Judah during Asa’s reign when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 10 The people gathered at Jerusalem in late spring,[b] during the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 On that day they sacrificed to the Lord 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep and goats from the plunder they had taken in the battle. 12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 They agreed that anyone who refused to seek the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death—whether young or old, man or woman. 14 They shouted out their oath of loyalty to the Lord with trumpets blaring and rams’ horns sounding. 15 All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the Lord gave them rest from their enemies on every side.
16 King Asa even deposed his grandmother[c] Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene pole, broke it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 17 Although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel, Asa’s heart remained completely faithful throughout his life. 18 He brought into the Temple of God the silver and gold and the various items that he and his father had dedicated.
19 So there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
