2 Crônicas 15:8

8 Assim que ouviu as palavras e a profecia do profeta Azarias, filho de^[a] Odede, o rei Asa encheu-se de coragem. Retirou os ídolos repugnantes de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim e das cidades que havia conquistado nos montes de Efraim, e restaurou o altar do SENHOR que estava em frente do pórtico do templo 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 Nações e cidades se destruíam umas às outras, pois Deus as estava afligindo com toda espécie de desgraças.

7 Mas, sejam fortes e não desanimem, pois o trabalho de vocês será recompensado”.

8 Assim que ouviu as palavras e a profecia do profeta Azarias, filho de Odede, o rei Asa encheu-se de coragem. Retirou os ídolos repugnantes de toda a terra de Judá e de Benjamim e das cidades que havia conquistado nos montes de Efraim, e restaurou o altar do SENHOR que estava em frente do pórtico do templo do SENHOR.

9 Depois reuniu todo o povo de Judá e de Benjamim e convocou também os que pertenciam a Efraim, a Manassés e a Simeão que viviam entre eles, pois muitos de Israel tinham passado para o lado do rei Asa, ao verem que o SENHOR, o seu Deus, estava com ele.

10 Eles se reuniram em Jerusalém no terceiro mês do décimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
