2 Chronicles 15:1-3

The Spirit of God entered Azariah son of Oded. Azariah went to meet Asa and said, “Listen to me, Asa and all you people of Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you obey him, you will find him, but if you leave him, he will leave you. For a long time Israel was without the true God and without a priest to teach them and without the teachings.
