Chap. XV.
Azarias prophecieth that Israel shal lack the true God, Priestes, and the
law, a long time. 8. which king Asa hearing most seriously destroyeth
idolatrie. 12. maketh couenant and oath to serue God. 16. And deposeth
his mother for offering sacrifice to Priapus.
1 And Azarias the sonne of Oded, the Spirit of God coming
vpon him,
2 went out to meete Asa, and sayd to
him: Heare ye me Asa, and al Iuda and Beniamin: Our Lord
is with you, note because you haue beene with him. If you wil
seeke him, you shal finde: but if you forsake him, he wil forsake
you.
3 And manie daies shal passe in Israel without the
true God, and without Priest a teacher, and without the Law.
4 And when they shal returne in their distresse to our Lord
the God of Israel, and shal seeke him, they shal finde him.
5 At that time there shal not be peace to him that goeth out
and cometh in, but terrours on euerie side in the inhabiters
of the earth.
6 for nation shal fight agaynst nation, and citie
agaynst citie, because our Lord wil truble them with al distresse.
7 You therfore take courage, and let not your handes
be dissolued: for there shal be reward to your worke.
8 Which
when Asa had heard, to witte, the wordes, and the prophecie
of Azarias the sonne of Oded the prophete, he tooke courage,
and tooke away the Idols out of al the land of Iuda, and
out of Beniamin, and out of the cities, which he had taken,
of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of our Lord,
which was before the porche of our Lord.
9 And he gathered
together al Iuda and Beniamin, and the strangers with them
of Ephraim, and of Manasses, and of Simeon: for manie were
fled to him of Israel, seing that our Lord his God was with
him.
10 And when they were come into Ierusalem the third
-- --
Asa.
moneth, in the fiftenth yeare of the reigne of Asa,
11 they
immolated to our Lord in that day of the spoiles, & the praie,
that they had brought, oxen seuen hundred, and rammes
seuen thousand.
12 And he went in after the maner to establish
the couenant, that they should seeke our Lord the God of
their fathers in al their hart, and in al their soul.
13 And if anie
man, quoth he, shal not seeke our Lord the God of Israel, let
him die, from the least to the greatest, from man vnto woman.
14 And they sware to our Lord with a lowd voyce in
iubilation, and in noyse of trumpet, and sound of shaulmes,
15 al that were in Iuda with execration: for in al their hart did
they sweare, and with al their wil did they seeke him, and
found him, & our Lord gaue them rest round about,
16 Yea and
Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal
empyre, because she had made in a groue the idol of Priapus:
which he wholy destroyed, and breaking into peeces, burnt
it in the Torrent cedron.
17 But the note Excelses were leaft in
Israel: neuerthelesse the hart of Asa was perfect al his daies.
18 And those thinges which his father had vowed, and him
self, he brought into the house of our Lord, gold and siluer,
and of vessels diuers furniture.
19 And there was no warre
vnto the fiue and thirteth yeare of the reigne of Asa.
