8 Azariah’s words prompted Asa to continue the reforms he had begun earlier (2 Chronicles 14:2–5); this time his reforms were carried out not only in Judah but also in the hills of Ephraim—that is, in the part of Israel that Asa had captured earlier.
9–15 Then Asa assembled the people of Judah, as well as those faithful Israelites who had moved south to Judah earlier (2 Chronicles 11:13–17). And Asa and the people renewed their covenant with God, just as past leaders had done and future leaders would do again in the years ahead (see 2 Kings 23:1–3; 2 Chronicles 34:29–33 and comment).
As part of their covenant commitment, the people agreed to seek the LORD ... with all their heart and soul (verse 12). Those who refused to seek the Lord were to be put to death (see Deuteronomy 13:1218; 17:2–7 and comments). Because the people sought God with all their heart, He was found by them and He gave them rest on every side (verse 15). Jeremiah said: You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). Those words continue to be addressed to every human being alive today.
