2 Chronicles 15:8-10

International Standard Version

Asa Institutes Reforms

⁸ Encouraged by what Oded’s son Azariah the prophet had said in his prophecy, Asa^[a] removed the detestable idols from throughout the entire territories of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He repaired the Lord’s altar that stood in front of the vestibule of the Lord’s Temple. ⁹ Then he gathered together all of Judah, Benjamin, and people from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them, since many people had defected to him from Israel when they learned that the Lord his God was with him. ¹⁰ They all assembled in Jerusalem during the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
