The Prophet Azariah Warns Asa | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, | 1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: | 1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: | 1 And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded, | 1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God, | 2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. | 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. | 2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. | 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. | 2 and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah is with you -- in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you; | 3 "For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law. | 3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. | 3 Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law: | 3 And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law. | 3 and many days are to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law, | 4 "But in their distress they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him. | 4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. | 4 But when in their distress they turned unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. | 4 And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him. | 4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them, | 5 "In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. | 5 And 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. | 5 And 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 lands. | 5 At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth. | 5 and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles are on all the inhabitants of the lands, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. | 6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. | 6 And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity. | 6 For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress. | 6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity; | 7 "But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work." | 7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. | 7 But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded. | 7 Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work. | 7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.' | Asa’s Reforms |
| 8 Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD which was in front of the porch of the LORD. | 8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD. | 8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah. | 8 And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord. | 8 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that is before the porch of Jehovah, | 9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. | 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. | 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him. | 9 And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him. | 9 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon -- for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God is with him. | 10 So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign. | 10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. | 10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. | 10 And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, | 10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 They sacrificed to the LORD that day 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep from the spoil they had brought. | 11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. | 11 And they sacrificed unto Jehovah in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. | 11 They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams. | 11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in -- oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand, | 12 They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and soul; | 12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; | 12 And they entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; | 12 And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul. | 12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul, | 13 and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. | 13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. | 13 and that whosoever would not seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. | 13 And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman. | 13 and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman. | 14 Moreover, they made an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets and with horns. | 14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. | 14 And they sware unto Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. | 14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets, | 14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets, | 15 All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the LORD gave them rest on every side. | 15 And all Judah 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 gave them rest round about. | 15 And all Judah 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 Jehovah gave them rest round about. | 15 All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about. | 15 and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron. | 16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. | 16 And also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. | 16 Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron. | 16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king -- he hath removed her from being mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth it small, and burneth it by the brook Kidron: | 17 But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days. | 17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. | 17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. | 17 But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. | 17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days. | 18 He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils. | 18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. | 18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. | 18 And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses. | 18 And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels. | 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign. | 19 And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. | 19 And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. | 19 And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa. | 19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa. |
