SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:12
Y entraron en concierto de que buscarían al SEÑOR el Dios de sus padres, de todo su corazón y de toda su alma;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:12
Verse 12. They entered into a covenant] The covenant consisted of two parts: 1. We will seek the God of our fathers with all our heart, and with all our soul. 2. Whosoever, great or small, man or woman, will not worship the true God, and serve him alone, shall be put to death. Thus no toleration was given to idolatry, so that it must be rooted out: and that this covenant might be properly binding, they confirmed it with an oath; and God accepted them and their services.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And they entered into a covenant , etc.] Asa and all his people; that is, as Piscator remarks, they went between the pieces of the calf cut asunder, for the confirmation of the covenant, (see Jeremiah 34:18), to seek the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul ; to serve and worship him most truly, sincerely, and cordially.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The people make a solemn covenant with God. --The work of complete reformation appeared so difficult, that Asa ha not courage to attempt it, till assured of Divine assistance an acceptance. He and his people offered sacrifices to God; thanksgivin for the favours they had received, and supplication for furthe favours. Prayers and praises are now our spiritual sacrifices. The people, of their own will, covenanted to seek the Lord, each for himself, with earnestness. What is religion but seeking God, inquirin after him, applying to him upon all occasions? We make nothing of ou religion, if we do not make heart-work of it; God will have all the heart, or none. Our devotedness to God our Saviour, should be avowe and shown in the most solemn and public manner. What is done in hypocrisy is a mere drudgery __________________________________________________________________
