2 Chronicles 15:16 in Context — 2 Chronicles 15
14 E juraram ao SENHOR com grande voz e júbilo, a som de trombetas e de buzinas:
15 Do qual juramento todos os de Judá se alegraram; porque de todo o seu coração o juravam, e de toda sua vontade o buscavam: e foi achado deles; e deu-lhes o SENHOR repouso de todas partes.
16 E ainda a Maaca mãe do rei Asa, ele mesmo a depôs de sua dignidade, porque havia feito um ídolo no bosque: e Asa destruiu seu ídolo, e o despedaçou, e queimou no ribeiro de Cedrom.
17 Mas com tudo isso os altos não foram tirados de Israel, ainda que o coração de Asa tenha sido íntegro enquanto viveu.
18 E meteu na casa de Deus o que seu pai havia dedicado, e o que ele havia consagrado, prata e ouro e vasos.
