SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:2
y salió al encuentro a Asa, y le dijo: Oídme, Asa, y todo Judá y Benjamín: El SEÑOR es con vosotros, si vosotros fueres con él; y si le buscareis, será hallado de vosotros; mas si le dejareis, él también os dejará.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:2
Verse 2. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him] This is the settled and eternal purpose of God; to them who seek him he will ever be found propitious, and them alone will he abandon who forsake him. In this verse the unconditional perseverance of the saints has no place: a doctrine which was first the ruin of the human race, Ye shall not die; and ever since the fall, has been the plague and disgrace of the Church of Christ. The Targum is curious: "Hearken to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The WORD of the Lord shall be your helper, while ye walk in his ways. If ye seek doctrine from his presence he will be found of you in times of trouble; but if you cast away his fear, he will abandon you."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And he went out to meet Asa , etc.] From Jerusalem, as Asa was coming to it: and said unto him, hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin ; the principal inhabitants of which tribes had been collected, and went to this war, and were now returning: the Lord is with you, while ye be with him ; it was a clear case he had been with them, in giving them the victory over the Ethiopians; and as long as they continued in the service of God, and abode by his pure worship, they might expect he would yet be with them, otherwise not: and if ye seek him, he will be found of you ; you will see his face, and enjoy his favour, and have his presence, and help from him in every time of need, when they sought him by prayer and supplication, as Asa had, and attended his worship and ordinances: but if ye forsake him ; his laws and his service: he will forsake you ; and leave you to fall into the hands of your enemies.
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 __________________________________________________________________
