II Chronicles 15:8
The Scripture
(8) And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
The prophet Azariah met Asa and urged him to seek the LORD, promising that God would be found by those who sought Him, which prompted Asa to remove idols throughout Judah and even from the land of Ephraim. Asa gathered the people at Jerusalem to renew their covenant with the LORD with sacrifices and oaths, and he even removed his grandmother Maachah from being queen for making an idol.
