The third month<\/B><\/I>] At the feast of pentecost<\/I> which was held on the third<\/I> month.<\/P> <\/p>\n In the third month, <\/B>to wit, of the sacred year, in which the feast of weeks or of pentecost fell; of which see Exo 23:16<\/span>; Deu 16:9<\/span>. <\/P> In the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.<\/B> Asa had peace but ten years, 2Ch 14:1<\/span>; after which probably there were some bickerings and skirmishes, which seem to have been composed; and after that Zerah comes against him, and is discomfited. Upon this great success many of the Israelites fall to him, and in his fifteenth year he calls this assembly. <\/P> <\/p>\n 10-14. the third month<\/B>whenwas held the feast of pentecost. On this occasion, it was celebratedat Jerusalem by an extraordinary sacrifice of seven hundred oxen andseven thousand sheep, the spoil of the Ethiopians being offered. Theassembled worshippers entered with great and holy enthusiasm into anational covenant “to seek the Lord their God . . . with alltheir heart and with all their soul;” and, at the same time, toexecute with rigor the laws which made idolatry punishable with death(2Ch 15:13<\/span>; Deu 17:2-5<\/span>;Heb 10:28<\/span>). The people testifiedunbounded satisfaction with this important religious movement, andits moral influence was seen in the promotion of piety, order, andtranquillity throughout the land.<\/P><\/p>\n So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem<\/strong>,…. By the order of Asa, 2Ch 15:9<\/span>,<\/p>\n in the third month<\/strong>; of the ecclesiastical year, the month Sivan, in which month was the day of Pentecost; and that very probably was the time of their gathering:<\/p>\n in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa<\/strong>; and which seems to be the year in which he fought the Ethiopians.<\/p>\n At this festival, which was held on the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign, they offered of the booty, i.e., of the cattle captured in the war against the Cushites (2Ch 14:14<\/span>), 700 oxen and 7000 sheep. defines the more closely: they sacrificed, viz., from the booty they offered. From this it seems to follow that the sacrificial festival was held soon after the return from the war against the Cushites. The attack of the Cushite Zerah upon Judah can only have occurred in the eleventh year of Asa, according to 2Ch 14:1<\/span>; but it is not stated how long the war lasted, nor when Asa returned to Jerusalem (2Ch 14:14<\/span>) after conquering the enemy and plundering the towns of the south land. But Asa may quite well have remained longer in the south after the Cushites had been driven back, in order again firmly to establish his rule there; and on his return to Jerusalem, in consequence of the exhortation of the prophet Azariah, may have straightway determined to hold a sacrificial festival at which the whole people should renew the covenant with the Lord, and have set apart and reserved a portion of the captured cattle for this purpose. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong> The True Worship Restored<\/p>\n v. 10. So they,<\/strong> all those mentioned as having been gained by Asa’s reformatory measures, gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,<\/strong> for a great festival of confession and thanksgiving. <\/p>\n v. 11. And they offered unto the Lord the same time,<\/strong> in the course of that festival, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,<\/strong> the thanksgiving festival most likely being combined with the great Feast of Pentecost. <\/p>\n v. 12. And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul,<\/strong> to be united with Him in the bonds of the closest love and service and loyalty, <\/p>\n v. 13. that whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great,<\/strong> possessing influence and power or not, whether man or woman,<\/strong> as the Law of the Lord required, Deu 13:5<\/span> to Deu 9:15<\/span>. <\/p>\n v. 14. And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice and with shouting,<\/strong> in a solemn chant, and with trumpets and with cornets,<\/strong> instruments used for the Temple music. <\/p>\n v. 15. And all Judah,<\/strong> in a solemn enthusiasm amounting almost to ecstasy, rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart,<\/strong> it was not a mere confession of the lips, and sought Him with their whole desire; and He was found of them. And the Lord gave them rest round about,<\/strong> he rewarded their piety by granting the blessing of peace. <\/p>\n v. 16. And also concerning Maachah, the mother,<\/strong> that is, the grandmother, of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen,<\/strong> she no longer could hold the position as dowager, because she had made an idol in a grove,<\/strong> erected a statue to the heathen goddess Astarte. And Asa cut down her idol,<\/strong> the wooden post consecrated to the female goddess, and stamped it,<\/strong> or crushed it, probably by cutting it up into little pieces, and burned it at the brook Kidron. <\/p>\n v. 17. But the high places were not taken away out of Israel,<\/strong> that is, the buildings which had been erected as houses of worship on the hills; nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect all his days,<\/strong> devoted to the Lord in true loyalty. <\/p>\n v. 18. And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated,<\/strong> set apart as votive gifts, and that he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels,<\/strong> of the booty taken from the Ethiopians. <\/p>\n v. 19. And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. <\/strong> The fact that peace in the land is a gift of God’s goodness often is overlooked by men; nevertheless, it is He who alone controls the hearts of men for peace or war. <\/p>\n 2Ch 15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.<\/p>\n Ver. 10.
