2 Chronicles 15:6

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

5 In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.

Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.

7 But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”

8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
