2 Chronicles 15:8. When Asa heard these words of Oded the prophet Of Azariah, the son of Oded, who was also called by his father’s name; he took courage For it required great courage to put away all the idols, to which so great a number of his people were still attached, and among others Maachah, the queen, his mother, whom, for this reason, he deposed, 1 Kings 15:13.

2 Chronicles 15:9. And out of Simeon For the generality of this tribe, though they had their inheritance out of the portion of Judah, revolted to Jeroboam with the other tribes, as appears from many passages of Scripture. This they might conveniently do, because, as their portion bordered, on one side, on the tribe of Judah, so, on the other, it touched on that of Dan, and therefore could easily join with the one or the other.

2 Chronicles 15:11-12. They offered of the spoil which they had brought Taken from Zerah, and his army and allies. They entered into a covenant, &c. Repenting that they had violated their engagements to God, and resolving to attend to, and endeavour to fulfil them in future.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1-19

Reformation under Asa (14:1-16:14)God’s blessings on Asa showed his pleasure with those who removed Canaanite customs and restored the Levitical order of worship. God rewarded Asa by giving him a remarkable victory over a large and powerful army that invaded from the south. This sign of God’s pleasure encouraged Asa to continue his reforms with greater boldness (14:1-15:19; see notes on 1 Kings 15:9-15).When, however, Asa trusted in outside help instead of trusting in God, he displeased God and... read more
