11 And Aʹsa proceeded to do what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his forefather.+

2 And Aʹsa proceeded to do what was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God.

11 And Aʹsa began to call to Jehovah his God+ and say: “O Jehovah, as to helping, it does not matter with you whether there are many or [those with] no power.+ Help us, O Jehovah our God, for upon you we do lean,+ and in your name+ we have come against this crowd. O Jehovah, you are our God.+ Do not let mortal man* retain strength against you.”+

8 And as soon as Aʹsa heard these words and the prophecy of Oʹded+ the prophet, he took courage and proceeded to cause the disgusting things+ to vanish from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities that he had captured from the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im,+ and to renew Jehovah’s altar that was before the porch of Jehovah.+

3 And Jehovah continued with Je·hoshʹa·phat,+ because he walked in the former ways of David his forefather+ and did not search for the Baʹals.+

13 The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the [true] God+ and keep his commandments.+ For this is the whole [obligation] of man.*
