2 Crónicas 15
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 El Espíritu de Dios vino sobre Azarías, hijo de Oded. 2 Salió al encuentro de Asa y le dijo: «Escúchenme, Asa y todo Judá y Benjamín. Jehová estará con ustedes mientras ustedes estén con él. Si lo buscan, se dejará hallar por ustedes; pero si lo abandonan, él los abandonará. 3 Durante mucho tiempo Israel estuvo sin el Dios verdadero, sin sacerdote que enseñara y sin ley. 4 Pero en su angustia se volvió a Jehová, Dios de Israel. Lo buscaron, y él se dejó hallar por ellos. 5 En aquellos tiempos no había paz para el que salía ni para el que entraba, porque grandes perturbaciones afligían a todos los habitantes de las tierras. 6 Una nación era destrozada por otra nación, y una ciudad por otra ciudad, porque Dios los afligía con toda clase de dificultades. 7 Pero ustedes, sean fuertes y no dejen caer las manos, porque hay recompensa para su trabajo». 8 Cuando Asa oyó estas palabras y la profecía de Oded, el profeta, cobró fuerzas y quitó los ídolos abominables de toda la tierra de Judá y Benjamín, y de las ciudades que había tomado en la región montañosa de Efraín. Renovó el altar de Jehová que estaba delante del pórtico de Jehová. 9 Reunió a todo Judá y Benjamín, y a los que residían con ellos, procedentes de Efraín, Manasés y Simeón. Muchos de Israel se habían pasado a él al ver que Jehová, su Dios, estaba con él. 10 Se reunieron en Jerusalén en el tercer mes del año quince del reinado de Asa. 11 Aquel día sacrificaron a Jehová, del botín que habían traído, setecientas cabezas de ganado vacuno y siete mil de ganado menor. 12 Entraron en un pacto de buscar a Jehová, Dios de sus padres, de todo su corazón y de toda su alma. 13 Todo el que no buscara a Jehová, Dios de Israel, sería ejecutado, desde el pequeño hasta el grande, tanto hombre como mujer. 14 Juraron a Jehová en voz alta y con gritos de alegría, con trompetas y cuernos. 15 Todo Judá se alegró por el juramento, porque habían jurado de todo corazón y lo habían buscado con toda su voluntad. Él se dejó hallar por ellos, y Jehová les dio reposo por todas partes. 16 También depuso a Maaca, madre del rey Asa, de su puesto de reina madre, porque había hecho una imagen abominable de Asera. Asa cortó su imagen abominable, la hizo pedazos y la quemó en el torrente Cedrón. 17 Sin embargo, los lugares altos no fueron quitados de Israel, aunque el corazón de Asa fue íntegro todos sus días. 18 Llevó a la casa de Dios las cosas consagradas por su padre y las consagradas por él: plata, oro y utensilios. 19 No hubo guerra hasta el año treinta y cinco del reinado de Asa.

2 Crónicas 15:1
2Ch 15:1-15. Judah Makes a Solemn Covenant with God.
1. Azariah the son of Oded--This prophet, who is mentioned nowhere else, appears at this stage of the sacred story in the discharge of an interesting mission. He went to meet Asa, as he was returning from his victorious pursuit of the Ethiopians, and the congratulatory address here recorded was publicly made to the king in presence of his army.
2 Crónicas 15:2
2. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him--You have had, in your recent signal success, a remarkable proof that God's blessing is upon you; your victory has been the reward of your faith and piety. If you steadfastly adhere to the cause of God, you may expect a continuance of His favor; but if you abandon it, you will soon reap the bitter fruits of apostasy.
2 Crónicas 15:3-6
3-6. Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, &c.--Some think that Azariah was referring to the sad and disastrous condition to which superstition and idolatry had brought the neighboring kingdom of Israel. His words should rather be taken in a wider sense, for it seems manifest that the prophet had his eye upon many periods in the national history, when the people were in the state described--a state of spiritual destitution and ignorance--and exhibited its natural result as widespread anarchy, mutual dissension among the tribes, and general suffering (Jud 9:23; 12:4; 20:21; 2Ch 13:17). These calamities God permitted to befall them as the punishment of their apostasy. Azariah's object in these remarks was to establish the truth of his counsel (2Ch 15:2), threatening, in case of neglecting it by describing the uniform course of the divine procedure towards Israel, as shown in all periods of their history. Then after this appeal to national experience, he concluded with an earnest exhortation to the king to prosecute the work of reformation so well begun [2Ch 15:7].
2 Crónicas 15:7
7. Be ye strong--Great resolution and indomitable energy would be required to persevere in the face of the opposition your reforming measures will encounter.
your work shall be rewarded--What you do in the cause and for the glory of God will assuredly be followed by the happiest results both to yourself and your subjects.
2 Crónicas 15:8
8. when Asa heard ... the prophecy of Oded the prophet--The insertion of these words, "of Oded the prophet," is generally regarded as a corruption of the text. "The sole remedy is to erase them. They are, probably, the remains of a note, which crept in from the margin into the text" [Bertheau].
he took courage--Animated by the seasonable and pious address of Azariah, Asa became a more zealous reformer than ever, employing all his royal authority and influence to extirpate every vestige of idolatry from the land.
and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim--He may have acquired cities of Ephraim, the conquest of which is not recorded (2Ch 17:2); but it has been commonly supposed that the reference is to cities which his father Abijah had taken in that quarter (2Ch 13:19).
renewed the altar of the Lord ... before the porch--that is, the altar of burnt offering. As this was done on or about the fifteenth year of the reign of this pious king, the renewal must have consisted in some splendid repairs or embellishments, which made it look like a new dedication, or in a reconstruction of a temporary altar, like that of Solomon (2Ch 7:7), for extraordinary sacrifices to be offered on an approaching occasion.
2 Crónicas 15:9-15
9-15. he gathered all Judah and Benjamin--Not satisfied with these minor measures of purification and improvement, Asa meditated a grand scheme which was to pledge his whole kingdom to complete the work of reformation, and with this in view he waited for a general assembly of the people.
and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh--The population of Asa's kingdom had been vastly increased by the continued influx of strangers, who, prompted by motives either of interest or of piety, sought in his dominions that security and freedom which they could not enjoy amid the complicated troubles which distracted Israel.
and out of Simeon--Although a portion of that tribe, located within the territory of Judah, were already subjects of the southern kingdom, the general body of the Simeonites had joined in forming the northern kingdom of Israel. But many of them now returned of their own accord.
2 Crónicas 15:18
18. the things that his father had dedicated--probably part of the booty obtained by his signal victory over Jeroboam, but which, though dedicated, had hitherto been unrepresented.
and that he himself had dedicated--of the booty taken from the Ethiopians. Both of these were now deposited in the temple as votive offerings to Him whose right hand and holy arm had given them the victory.
