1 And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him,
3 Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great turmoil was upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
