2 Chronicles 15:3

Asa's Religious Reforms

² And he went out before Asa and said to him, "Hear me, O Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh [is] with you while you are with him. And if you will seek him he will be found by you. But if you forsake him he will forsake you. ³ Now Israel [has been] without the true God many days, and without a teaching priest, and without law, ⁴ but at its trouble he returned to Yahweh, the God of Israel. They sought him, and he was found by them.
