9 Asa called together the people from Judah and Benjamin, as well as the people from the territories of Ephraim, West Manasseh, and Simeon who were living in Judah. Many of these people were now loyal to Asa, because they had seen that the Lord was with him.
10 In the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's rule, they all met in Jerusalem.
11 That same day, they took seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats from what they had brought back from Gerar and sacrificed them as offerings to the Lord.
12 They made a solemn promise to faithfully worship the Lord God their ancestors had worshipped,
13 and to put to death anyone who refused to obey him.
14 The crowd solemnly agreed to keep their promise to the Lord, then they celebrated by shouting and blowing trumpets and horns.
15 Everyone was happy because they had made this solemn promise, and in return, the Lord blessed them with peace from all their enemies.
