2 Chronicles 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:10

So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem
By the order of Asa, ( 2 Chronicles 15:9 ) ,

in the third month;
of the ecclesiastical year, the month Sivan, in which month was the day of Pentecost; and that very probably was the time of their gathering:

in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa;
and which seems to be the year in which he fought the Ethiopians.

2 Chronicles 15:10 In-Context

8 When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet, he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the LORD, which stood in front of the entry room of the LORD ’s Temple.

9 Then Asa called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin, along with the people of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them. For many from Israel had moved to Judah during Asa’s reign when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

10 The people gathered at Jerusalem in late spring, during the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

11 On that day they sacrificed to the LORD 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep and goats from the plunder they had taken in the battle.

12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.
