2 Chronicles 15:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:12

And they entered into a covenant
Asa and all his people; that is, as Piscator remarks, they went between the pieces of the calf cut asunder, for the confirmation of the covenant, see ( Jeremiah 34:18 ) ,

to seek the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with
all their soul;
to serve and worship him most truly, sincerely, and cordially.

2 Chronicles 15:12 In-Context

10 They all arrived in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign
11 for a great assembly of worship. From their earlier plunder they offered sacrifices of 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep for the worship.
12 Then they bound themselves in a covenant to seek God, the God of their fathers, wholeheartedly, holding nothing back.
13 And they agreed that anyone who refused to seek God, the God of Israel, should be killed, no matter who it was, young or old, man or woman.
14 They shouted out their promise to God, a joyful sound accompanied with blasts from trumpets and rams' horns.
