2Ch 15:2And 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.

2Ch 15:3

2Ch 15:3Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

2Ch 15:4But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

2Ch 15:5

2Ch 15:5And 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.

2Ch 15:6

2Ch 15:6And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

2Ch 15:7Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

2Ch 15:9
