2 Crônicas 15:2

2 que saiu ao encontro de Asa e lhe disse: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judá e Benjamim: O Senhor está convosco, enquanto vós estais com ele; se o buscardes, o achareis; mas se o deixardes, ele vos deixará.

2 Crônicas 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:2

And he went out to meet Asa
From Jerusalem, as Asa was coming to it:

and said unto him, hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin;
the principal inhabitants of which tribes had been collected, and went to this war, and were now returning:

the Lord is with you, while ye be with him;
it was a clear case he had been with them, in giving them the victory over the Ethiopians; and as long as they continued in the service of God, and abode by his pure worship, they might expect he would yet be with them, otherwise not:

and if ye seek him, he will be found of you;
you will see his face, and enjoy his favour, and have his presence, and help from him in every time of need, when they sought him by prayer and supplication, as Asa had, and attended his worship and ordinances:

but if ye forsake him;
his laws and his service:

he will forsake you;
and leave you to fall into the hands of your enemies.

2 Crônicas 15:2 In-Context

1 Então veio o Espírito de Deus sobre Azarias, filho de Odede,
2 que saiu ao encontro de Asa e lhe disse: Ouvi-me, Asa, e todo o Judá e Benjamim: O Senhor está convosco, enquanto vós estais com ele; se o buscardes, o achareis; mas se o deixardes, ele vos deixará.
3 Ora, por muito tempo Israel esteve sem o verdadeiro Deus, sem sacerdote que o ensinasse e sem lei.
4 Quando, porém, na sua angústia voltaram para o Senhor, Deus de Israel, e o buscaram, o acharam.
5 E naqueles tempos não havia paz nem para o que saia, nem para o que entrava, mas grandes perturbações estavam sobre todos os habitantes daquelas terras.
