11 1They sacrificed to the LORD that day 700 * oxen and 7,000 * sheep from the spoil they had brought.
12 2They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;
13 and whoever * would not seek the LORD God of Israel 3should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
14 Moreover, they made an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets and with horns.
15 All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him earnestly *, and He let them find Him. So 4the LORD gave them rest on every side.
16 5He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as 6an Asherah, and 7Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17 But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days.
18 He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils.
19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth * year of Asa's reign.

2 Chronicles 15:11-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 15

Asa returning from the battle, and with the spoil of the enemy, was met by a prophet of the Lord, who encouraged him to go on with the work of reformation, promising the presence and help of God with him, 2Ch 15:1-7, which inspired him with fresh courage, and he went about the work with great alacrity; and having offered sacrifices, he and his people entered into a solemn covenant with the Lord, to serve him, 2Ch 15:8-15 upon which he destroyed his mother's idol, brought the dedicated things into the house of God, and the effect of this was peace for a long time, 2Ch 15:16-19.
