Bible Chapter Summary
2 Chronicles 15 Summary
Asa's Great Covenant Renewal and Spiritual Revival
The Spirit of God comes upon the prophet Azariah, who meets Asa and exhorts him to seek the Lord, warning that forsaking God brings judgment but seeking Him brings reward. Encouraged by this prophecy, Asa removes abominable idols throughout Judah and the captured cities of Ephraim, and renews the altar of the Lord. He gathers all Judah, Benjamin, and Israelites who have come to him, and they covenant before God to seek Him with all their heart and soul, entering into an oath with loud voice and trumpets. Those who will not seek the Lord are put to death, Asa removes his mother as queen for making an idol, and the Lord gives rest to the realm.
