2 Chronicles 15:8-13

15:8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged.

He repaired the altar of the Lord in front of the porch of the Lord’s temple.

Many people from Israel had come there to live when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 15:10 They assembled in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 15:11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord some of the plunder they had brought back, including 700 head of cattle and 7,000 sheep. 15:12 They solemnly agreed to seek the Lord God of their ancestors with their whole heart and being. 15:13 Anyone who would not seek the Lord God of Israel would be executed, whether they were young or old, male or female.
