2 Chroniques 15:2

2 Et il sortit au-devant d'Asa, et lui dit: Asa, et tout Juda et Benjamin, écoutez-moi! L'Éternel est avec vous quand vous êtes avec lui. Si vous le cherchez, vous le trouverez; mais si vous l'abandonnez, il vous abandonnera.

2 Chroniques 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:2

And he went out to meet Asa
From Jerusalem, as Asa was coming to it:

and said unto him, hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin;
the principal inhabitants of which tribes had been collected, and went to this war, and were now returning:

the Lord is with you, while ye be with him;
it was a clear case he had been with them, in giving them the victory over the Ethiopians; and as long as they continued in the service of God, and abode by his pure worship, they might expect he would yet be with them, otherwise not:

and if ye seek him, he will be found of you;
you will see his face, and enjoy his favour, and have his presence, and help from him in every time of need, when they sought him by prayer and supplication, as Asa had, and attended his worship and ordinances:

but if ye forsake him;
his laws and his service:

he will forsake you;
and leave you to fall into the hands of your enemies.

2 Chroniques 15:2 In-Context

1 Alors l'Esprit de Dieu fut sur Azaria, fils d'Oded.
2 Et il sortit au-devant d'Asa, et lui dit: Asa, et tout Juda et Benjamin, écoutez-moi! L'Éternel est avec vous quand vous êtes avec lui. Si vous le cherchez, vous le trouverez; mais si vous l'abandonnez, il vous abandonnera.
3 Pendant longtemps Israël a été sans vrai Dieu, sans sacrificateur qui enseignât, et sans loi;
4 Mais dans sa détresse il revint à l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël; ils le recherchèrent, et il se laissa trouver d'eux.
5 Dans ces temps-là, il n'y avait point de sécurité pour ceux qui allaient et venaient, car il y avait de grands troubles parmi tous les habitants du pays.
