"As the victorious armies of Judah and Benjamin were returning to Jerusalem, “the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.” “Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:1, 2, 7 . PK 112.1"
"And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you."
EGW directly quotes 2 Chronicles 15:2, making this a clear and explicit allusion.
"Greatly encouraged by these words, Asa soon led out in a second reformation in Judah. He “put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from Mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord. PK 112.2"
"And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."
Both passages describe the removal of idols and the restoration of proper worship. EGW's passage directly references Asa's actions, which align with the general command in Deuteronomy to destroy idolatrous objects.
"And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment."
Both passages describe Asa's efforts to reform Judah and remove idolatry. While EGW doesn't directly quote 2 Chronicles 14:4, the actions described in both passages align thematically, suggesting a parallel in the narrative of Asa's reforms.
"heart and with all their soul.” “And He was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.” Verses 8-12, 15 . PK 112.3"
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
EGW's passage references the people seeking God with all their heart and finding Him, which directly echoes the sentiment and promise found in Jeremiah 29:13.
