2 Chronicles 15:16 in Context — 2 Chronicles 15
14 Y juraron á Jehová con gran voz y júbilo, á son de trompetas y de bocinas:
15 Del cual juramento todos los de Judá se alegraron; porque de todo su corazón lo juraban, y de toda su voluntad lo buscaban: y fué hallado de ellos; y dióles Jehová reposo de todas partes.
16 Y aun á Maachâ madre del rey Asa, él [mismo] la depuso de su dignidad, porque había hecho un ídolo en el bosque: y Asa deshizo su ídolo, y lo desmenuzó, y quemó en el torrente de Cedrón.
17 Mas con todo eso los altos no eran quitados de Israel, aunque el corazón de Asa fué perfecto mientras vivió.
18 Y metió en la casa de Dios lo que su padre había dedicado, y lo que él había consagrado, plata y oro y vasos.
