Context — Asa’s Reforms
8When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
9And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back. 12Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.Cross References

2 Chronicles 15:10 Summary
This verse tells us that the people of Judah and other tribes gathered together in Jerusalem to celebrate their commitment to the Lord. They did this in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign, which was a special time in their calendar. This gathering was an important moment in their history, as it marked a time of renewal and rededication to the Lord, similar to the renewal seen in Joel 2:12-13. By gathering together, they were able to seek the Lord with all their heart and soul, and to celebrate their shared faith, as encouraged in Psalm 95:1-2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the third month in the fifteenth year of Asa's reign?
The third month is likely a reference to the month of Sivan, which is a significant month in the Jewish calendar, as it marks the time of the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, as seen in Exodus 19:1, and the timing of the Feast of Weeks, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 16:10.
Why did the people gather together in Jerusalem?
The people gathered together in Jerusalem to celebrate their newfound commitment to the Lord, as seen in the context of 2 Chronicles 15:9, where Asa assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from other tribes, to seek the Lord.
What can we learn from Asa's example of gathering the people together?
We can learn the importance of community and corporate worship, as seen in Hebrews 10:25, where we are encouraged not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and in Matthew 18:20, where Jesus says that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there among them.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the chapter, as it marks the culmination of Asa's reforms and the people's response to his leadership, as seen in 2 Chronicles 15:8-9, and sets the stage for their covenant renewal in 2 Chronicles 15:12-15.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can gather with other believers to seek the Lord and celebrate our shared faith?
