9. and gathered all Yehuḏah and Binyamin, and those who sojourned with them from Ephrayim, and Menashsheh, and Shim‛on, for they came over to him in great numbers from Yisra’ĕl when they saw that יהוה his Elohim was with him.
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.
