2 Chronicles 15:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:11

And they offered unto the Lord the same time
The Targum adds, on the feast of weeks, or Pentecost: of the spoil which they had brought; from the camp of the Ethiopians, and the cities of the Philistines:

seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep;
partly for burnt offerings, and partly for peace offerings, by way of thankfulness to the Lord for the victory he had given them, and for a feast at the making of the following covenant with him.

10 cumque venissent Hierusalem mense tertio anno quintodecimo regni Asa
11 immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et praeda quam adduxerant boves septingentos et arietes septem milia
12 et intravit ex more ad corroborandum foedus ut quaererent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde et in tota anima sua
13 si quis autem inquit non quaesierit Dominum Deum Israhel moriatur a minimo usque ad maximum a viro usque ad mulierem
