"One nation was crushed by another, and one city by another, for God caused them to be in great turmoil."
— 2 Chronicles 15:6, NET Bible
“And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.”
“And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity. ”
“They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.”
“For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.”
“And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.”
“And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.”
For a long time Israel had no true God, or priest to instruct them, or law.
Because of their distress, they turned back to the LORD God of Israel. They sought him and he responded to them.
In those days no one could travel safely, for total chaos had overtaken all the people of the surrounding lands.
One nation was crushed by another, and one city by another, for God caused them to be in great turmoil.
But as for you, be strong and don’t get discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged. He removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had seized in the Ephraimite hill country. He repaired the altar of the LORD in front of the porch of the LORD’s temple.
He assembled all Judah and Benjamin, as well as the settlers from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had come to live with them. Many people from Israel had come there to live when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
