2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 15:12–15

¹²Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul. ¹³And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman. ¹⁴They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns. ¹⁵And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
