And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.
And whanne Asa hadde herd this thing, þat is, þe wordis and profesye of Asarie, þe sone of Obed, þe profete, he was coumfortid, and he dide a wei alle þe idols fro al þe lond of Juda and of Beniamyn, and fro þe citees whiche he hadde take of þe hil of Effraym. And he halewide þe auter of þe Lord, þat was bifor þe porche of þe hows of þe Lord.
