2 Chronicles 15:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:7

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak
Be hearty, earnest, and vigorous, and not languid and remiss in reforming the worship of God, which Asa had begun:

for your work shall be rewarded;
with peace and prosperity at home, and success against enemies abroad, of which they had had a recent instance.

2 Chronicles 15:7 In-Context

5 In those times there was no shalom to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the lands.

6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity.

7 But be you strong, and don't let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.

8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of `Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Yehudah and Binyamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Efrayim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

9 He gathered all Yehudah and Binyamin, and those who sojourned with them out of Efrayim and Menashsheh, and out of Shim`on: for they fell to him out of Yisra'el in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
