1. And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Oded;
2. and he went out to meet Asa and said unto him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3. For many days Israel has been without the true God, and without a priest and without a teacher and without law,
4. but when they in their trouble turned unto the Lord God of Israel and sought him, he was found of them.
