2 Chronik 15:12-14

12 Und sie gingen den Bund ein, Jehova, den Gott ihrer Väter, zu suchen mit ihrem ganzen Herzen und mit ihrer ganzen Seele;

13 jeder aber, der Jehova, den Gott Israels, nicht suchen würde, sollte getötet werden, vom Kleinsten bis zum Größten, vom Manne bis zum Weibe.

14 Und sie schwuren Jehova mit lauter Stimme und mit Jauchzen und unter Trompeten-und Posaunenschall.

2 Chronik 15:12-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 15

Asa returning from the battle, and with the spoil of the enemy, was met by a prophet of the Lord, who encouraged him to go on with the work of reformation, promising the presence and help of God with him, 2Ch 15:1-7, which inspired him with fresh courage, and he went about the work with great alacrity; and having offered sacrifices, he and his people entered into a solemn covenant with the Lord, to serve him, 2Ch 15:8-15 upon which he destroyed his mother's idol, brought the dedicated things into the house of God, and the effect of this was peace for a long time, 2Ch 15:16-19.
