2 Crônicas 15:8

8 Asa, tendo ouvido estas palavras, e a profecia do profeta filho de Odede, cobrou ânimo e lançou fora as abominações de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim, como também das cidades que tomara na região montanhosa de Efraim, e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do pórtico do Senhor.

2 Crônicas 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:8

And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the
prophet
Some think that besides the above words of Azariah the son of Oded, a prophecy of Oded his father was related by him, though not recorded; but rather Oded here is the same with the son of Oded; and so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions read Azariah the son of Oded; and so does the Alexandrian copy of the Septuagint version:

he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land
of Judah and Benjamin;
which were abominable to God, and all good men; besides the images and statues he had broken before, he removed other idols that remained, being animated and emboldened by the speech of the prophet:

and out of the cities which he had taken from Mount Ephraim:
the same which his father Abijah had taken from Jeroboam, ( 2 Chronicles 13:19 ) and which perhaps, upon the approach of the Ethiopians, revolted from Asa, or were restored by them to Jeroboam, and Which Asa retook upon his conquest of them:

and renewed the altar of the Lord before the porch of the Lord;
the altar of burnt offering, which had never been repaired since it was made by Solomon; perhaps he anew overlaid it with brass that being worn out, or become very thin in some places.

2 Crônicas 15:8 In-Context

6 Pois nação contra nação e cidade contra cidade se despedaçavam, porque Deus as conturbara com toda sorte de aflições.

7 Vós, porém, esforçai-vos, e não desfaleçam as vossas mãos; porque a vossa obra terá uma recompensa.

8 Asa, tendo ouvido estas palavras, e a profecia do profeta filho de Odede, cobrou ânimo e lançou fora as abominações de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim, como também das cidades que tomara na região montanhosa de Efraim, e renovou o altar do Senhor, que estava diante do pórtico do Senhor.

9 E congregou todo o Judá e Benjamim, e os de Efraim, Manassés e Simeão que com eles peregrinavam; pois que muitos e Israel tinham vindo a ele quando viram que o Senhor seu Deus era com ele.

10 Ajuntaram-se em Jerusalém no terceiro mês, no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
