And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; (15:12)

That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (15:13)

And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. (15:14)

And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about. (15:15)
