Bible verse
And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
2 Chronicles 15:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Chronicles 15.
9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.
12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
13 And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
14 They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
16 King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17 The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.
