1And the Spirit of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came upon ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the son of ‘Oded [restorer]: 2And he went out to meet Asa [healer; injurious?], and said unto him, Hear you^2f me, Asa [healer; injurious?], and all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]; The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] with you, while you^2f be with him; and if you^2f seek him, he will be found of you; but if you^2f forsake him, he will forsake you. 3Now for a long season Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [has been] without the true God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and without a teaching priest, and without law. 4But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and sought him, he was found of them. 5And in those times [there was] no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations [were] upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 6And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] did vex them with all adversity. 7Be you^2f strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

8And when Asa [healer; injurious?] heard these words, and the prophecy of ‘Oded [restorer] the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and renewed the altar of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that [was] before the porch of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 9And he gathered all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and the strangers with them out of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], and out of Shim’on [he who hears]: for they fell to him out of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in abundance, when they saw that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [was] with him. 10So they gathered themselves together at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa [healer; injurious?]. 11And they offered unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the same time, of the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 12And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 13That whosoever would not seek the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 14And they swore unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 15And all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave them rest round about.

16And also [concerning] Ma’akhah [oppression] the mother of Asa [healer; injurious?] the king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa [healer; injurious?] cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the brook Kidron [dark]. 17But the high places were not taken away out of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: nevertheless the heart of Asa [healer; injurious?] was perfect all his days. 18And he brought into the house of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 19And there was no [more] war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa [healer; injurious?].
