13. All those who wouldn't look to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be killed. It wouldn't matter how important they were. It wouldn't matter whether they were men or women.
14. They took an oath and made a promise to the Lord. They praised him out loud. They shouted. They blew trumpets and horns.
15. All of the people of Judah were happy about the promise they had made. They turned to God with all their heart. When they did, they found him. So the Lord gave them peace and rest on every side.
