2 Chronicles 15:13 In-Context

11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep from all the plunder they had brought.
12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their ancestors with all their mind and all their heart.
13 Whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel would be put to death, young or old, man or woman.
14 They took an oath to the Lord in a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with rams' horns.
15 All Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their mind. They had sought Him with all their heart, and He was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
