And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, the people, and the king, to be the people of Jehovah.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.

And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to do the Words of the covenant that were written in this Book.

And he caused all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them in Horeb.

to enter into the covenant with Jehovah your God, and into His oath, which Jehovah your God is making with you today,

Then the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Jehovah, to follow Jehovah and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the Words of this covenant that were written in this Book. And all the people stood for the covenant.

And because of all this, we are making a covenant in good faith, and writing it; sealed by our rulers, our Levites, and our priests.

these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God's Law, which was given by the hand of Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:

They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces headed there, saying, Come and let us join ourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant never to be forgotten.

And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and also to us through the will of God.

but when in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.

But from there you will seek Jehovah your God, and you shall find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

And now, Israel, what is Jehovah your God asking of you, but to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name:

Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I serve the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
