2 Chronicles 15:12

FaithCovenant and promisesPraise and worshipFollowing Jesus

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

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

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.

14 They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
