10. And they gathered together at Yerushalayim in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11. and offered to יהוה on that day seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil which they had brought.
12. And they entered into a covenant to seek יהוה Elohim of their fathers with all their heart and with all their being;
13. and whoever would not seek יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl would be put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
14. And they swore to יהוה with a loud voice, with shouting and with trumpets and with rams’ horns.
15. And all Yehuḏah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their being. And He was found by them, and יהוה gave them rest all around.
16. And he also removed Ma‛aḵah, the mother of Asa the sovereign, from being sovereigness mother, because she had made an abominable image of Ashĕrah. And Asa cut down her abominable image, and crushed it, and burned it by the wadi Qiḏron.
17. Yet the high places were not removed from Yisra’ĕl. However, the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18. And he brought into the House of Elohim the set-apart items of his father and his own set-apart items: silver and gold and utensils.
