Common English Bible
7 But as for you, be brave and don’t lose heart, because your work will be rewarded!”
Asa’s reforms
8 As soon as Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah, Oded’s son,[a] he felt brave and removed the detestable idols from all of Judah and Benjamin, as well as from the cities he had captured in Ephraim’s highlands, and he repaired the Lord’s altar that stood before the Lord’s entrance hall. 9 Then Asa gathered all Judah and Benjamin, along with those who were living among them as immigrants from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, because many people from Israel had joined up with him when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

7 But as for you, be strong(A) and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”(B)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of[a] Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols(C) from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured(D) in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar(E) of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.
9 Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers(F) had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
