And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that <FI>is<Fi> before the porch of Jehovah,
2 Chronicles 15:6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
2 Chronicles 15:7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
2 Chronicles 15:8 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that <FI>is<Fi> before the porch of Jehovah,
2 Chronicles 15:9 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon--for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God <FI>is<Fi> with him.

The verse centers on "asa's", "hearing", "words", "prophecy", "oded", "prophet", "hath", and "strengthened". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "asa's" and "hearing", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 7's "and ye be ye strong and let..." into verse 9's "and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin and...", so "asa's" and "hearing" belong inside that flow. In 2 Chronicles context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "asa's" and "hearing" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
