1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.

So 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. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

3 For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.

4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.
