2 Chronicles 15:11

9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.

12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.

13 And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
