The XV. Chapter.
A And the sprete of God came vp&obar; Asarias
the sonne of Obed, which wente
forth to Asa, and sayde vnto him: Heare
me Asa and all Iuda ∧ Ben Iamin: The
LORDE is with you, whyle ye are with him:
and yf ye seke him, he wylbe founde of you.
But yf ye forsake him, he shal forsake you also.
Neuertheles there shal be many dayes in
Israel, that note there shalbe no true God, no
prest to teach, ∧ no lawe. And whan they turne
in their trouble vnto the LORDE God
of Israel, and seke him, he shalbe founde. At
that tyme shall it not be well with him that
goeth out and in: for there shal be greate vproures
vpon all them þt; dwell on the earth.
For one people shall all to smyte another, ∧
one cite another: for God shal vexe them &wt;
all maner of trouble. But be ye stronge, and
let not youre handes be feble: for youre worke
hath his rewarde.
B Whan Asa herde these wordes, and the
propheci&ebar;ge (of Asarias the sonne) of Obed
the prophet, he toke a corage vnto him, and
put awaye the abhominacions out of all þe;
londe of Iuda and Ben Iamin, and out of
the cities that he had wonne vpon mount
Ephraim: and renued the LORDES altare,
which stode before the porche of the LORDE.
And all Iuda and Ben Iamin gathered
them selues together, and the straungers
with them out of Ephraim, Manasses and
Simeon: for there fell many vnto him out of
Israel, whan they sawe that the LORDE
his God was with him. And they resorted
vnto Ierusalem in the thirde moneth of the
fyftenth yeare of the reigne of Asa, and the
same daye offred they vnto the LORDE of
the spoyle that they had broughte, seuen h&ubar;dreth
oxen, and seuen thousande shepe.
C And they entred in to þe; couenaunt, that
they wolde seke the LORDE God of their fathers,
with all their hert and with all their
soule. And who so euer wolde not seke þe; LORDE
God of Israel, shulde dye, both small ∧
greate, both man and woman: and they sware
vnto the LORDE with loude voyce, with
shoutinge, with trompettes and with shawmes.
And all Iuda were glad ouer the ooth:
for they had sworne with all their hert, and
they soughte him with a whole wyll: and he
was founde of them, and the LORDE gaue
them rest on euery syde.
D And Asa þe; kynge put downe his mother
from the mynistracion, that she had founded
in the groue vnto Miplezeth. And Asa
roted out hir Miplezeth, and beate it in sunder,
and brent it by the broke Cedron. But
the hye places were not put downe out of
Israel. Yet was the hert of Asa perfecte as
longe as he lyued. And loke what his father
had halowed, and that he him selfe had halowed,
he broughte it in to þe; house of God,
syluer, golde and ornam&ebar;tes. And there was
no warre vnto the fyue and thirtieth yeare
of the reigne of Asa.
