亞撒的改革
15 神的靈臨到俄德的兒子亞撒利雅。 2 他出來迎接亞撒，對他說：「亞撒，猶大和便雅憫眾人哪，要聽我說：你們若順從耶和華，耶和華必與你們同在；你們若尋求他，就必尋見；你們若離棄他，他必離棄你們。 3 以色列人不信真神，沒有訓誨的祭司，也沒有律法，已經許多日子了。 4 但他們在急難的時候歸向耶和華—以色列的 神，尋求他，他就被他們尋見。 5 那時，出入的人不得平安，各地的居民都遭大亂； 6 他們被破壞殆盡，這國攻擊那國，這城攻擊那城，因為 神用各樣災難擾亂他們。 7 現在你們要剛強，不要手軟，因你們所行的必得賞賜。」
8 亞撒聽見這些話和俄德先知的預言，就壯起膽來，在猶大和便雅憫全地，以及以法蓮山區所奪的各城，把其中的可憎之物盡都除掉，又在耶和華殿的走廊前重新修築耶和華的壇。 9 他又召集猶大和便雅憫眾人，以及他們中間寄居的以法蓮人、瑪拿西人、西緬人。有許多以色列人歸順亞撒，因為他們看見耶和華—他的 神與他同在。 10 亞撒作王第十五年三月，他們都聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 那日他們從所取的擄物中，將七百頭牛和七千隻羊獻給耶和華。 12 他們立約，要盡心盡性尋求耶和華—他們列祖的 神。 13 凡不尋求耶和華—以色列 神的，無論大小、男女，必被處死。 14 他們就大聲歡呼，吹號吹角，向耶和華起誓。 15 猶大眾人為所起的誓歡喜，因他們盡心起誓，盡意尋求耶和華，耶和華就被他們尋見，且賜他們四境平安。
16 亞撒王甚至廢了他祖母瑪迦太后的位，因瑪迦造了可憎的亞舍拉。亞撒砍下她的偶像，搗得粉碎，在汲淪溪邊燒了， 17 只是丘壇還沒有從以色列中廢去，然而亞撒一生有純正的心。 18 亞撒將他父親所分別為聖與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿都奉到 神的殿裏。 19 亞撒作王直到第三十五年，都沒有戰事。

Asa’s Reform(A)
15 The Spirit of God came on(B) Azariah son of Oded. 2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you(C) when you are with him.(D) If you seek(E) him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.(F) 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach(G) and without the law.(H) 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him,(I) and he was found by them. 5 In those days it was not safe to travel about,(J) for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another,(K) because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 7 But as for you, be strong(L) and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”(M)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of[a] Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols(N) from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured(O) in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar(P) of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.
9 Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers(Q) had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month(R) of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder(S) they had brought back. 12 They entered into a covenant(T) to seek the Lord,(U) the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death,(V) whether small or great, man or woman. 14 They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God(W) eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest(X) on every side.
16 King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah(Y) from her position as queen mother,(Z) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah.(AA) Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.(AB) 17 Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life. 18 He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(AC)
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

Asa's Religious Reforms
15 (A)The Spirit of God came[a] upon Azariah the son of Oded, 2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: (B)The Lord is with you while you are with him. (C)If you seek him, he will be found by you, (D)but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 3 (E)For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law, 4 (F)but when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. 5 In those times there was no peace (G)to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 They were broken in pieces. Nation was crushed by nation and city by city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress. 7 (H)But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, (I)for your work shall be rewarded.”
8 As soon as Asa heard these words, (J)the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded, he took courage and put away the detestable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from (K)the cities that he had taken in (L)the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of the Lord (M)that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the Lord.[b] 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, (N)and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were residing with them, for great numbers had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 10 They were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 They sacrificed to the Lord on that day (O)from the spoil that they had brought 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep. 12 (P)And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul, 13 but that whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, (Q)should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman. 14 They swore an oath to the Lord with a loud voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, (R)and the Lord gave them rest all around.
16 (S)Even Maacah, (T)his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made a detestable image (U)for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, (V)crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron. 17 (W)But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days. 18 And he brought into the house of God the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
