12. And they entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and with all their inmost being,
13. but all who will not seek Yahweh the God of Israel should be killed, from young to old, from men to women.
14. And they took an oath to Yahweh with a great voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with horns.
15. And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they swore with all their heart. And they sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and Yahweh gave rest to them all around.
16. And also Maacah, the mother of Asa, the king removed her from being queen, because she had made a repulsive image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her repulsive image, and he crushed and burned it at the Wadi Kidron.
17. But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was fully devoted all his days.
18. And he brought the holy objects of his father and his own holy objects into the house of God—silver and gold and vessels.
19. And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
