2 CHRONICLES 15:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.”
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were sojourning with him, for great numbers had defected to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him — Asa convened national assembly (וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת־כָּל־יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַגָּרִים בָּהֶם מֵאֶפְרַיִם וּמִמְנַשֶּׁה וּמִשִּׁמְעוֹן). Northern Israelites 'defected to him' (וַיִּשָּׁמְרוּ אֵלָיו) 'when they saw that the LORD his God was with him' (כִּי־רָאוּ כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמּוֹ). The northern faithful recognized southern legitimacy.
