2 Chronicles 15:8-13
New King James Version
8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of [a]Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities (A)which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord. 9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and (B)those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 (C)And they offered to the Lord [b]at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the [c]spoil they had brought. 12 Then they (D)entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 13 (E)and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel (F)was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

King James Version
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 And they offered unto the Lord the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

8 När Asa hörde dessa ord och denna profetia av profeten Oded, tog han mod till sig och avlägsnade de eländiga avgudabilderna ur Juda och Benjamins hela land och ur de städer som han hade erövrat i Efraims bergsbygd. Han upprättade på nytt Herrens altare, det som stod framför Herrens förhus.
9 Och han samlade hela Juda och Benjamin, liksom de främlingar från Efraim, Manasse och Simeon som bodde ibland dem. Många från Israel hade anslutit sig till honom när de såg att Herren hans Gud var med honom. 10 De samlades i Jerusalem i tredje månaden av Asas femtonde regeringsår[a]. 11 (A) Av det byte de hade fört med sig offrade de på den dagen åt Herren 700 tjurar och 7 000 djur av småboskapen. 12 (B) Och de slöt det förbundet att de skulle söka Herren, sina fäders Gud, av hela sitt hjärta och av hela sin själ. 13 (C) Var och en som inte sökte Herren, Israels Gud, skulle bli dödad, liten eller stor, man eller kvinna.
