It follows a period of religious reform and renewal, where Asa sought to return the people to the worship of Yahweh. The timing is significant as it marks a response to the prophetic encouragement from Azariah, son of Oded, who urged Asa and the people to seek the Lord.<p><b>they sacrificed to the LORD</b><br>Sacrifices were central to Israelite worship, serving as acts of atonement, thanksgiving, and dedication. The act of sacrificing to the LORD signifies a communal return to covenant faithfulness. It reflects the people's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their dependence on Him. Sacrifices were also a means of consecrating the people and the land to God.<p><b>seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep</b><br>The numbers here are symbolic of completeness and abundance. The use of seven often represents divine perfection or completion in biblical numerology. The large number of animals indicates the magnitude of the people's commitment and the prosperity they experienced. Oxen and sheep were common sacrificial animals, with oxen often used for burnt offerings and sheep for peace offerings.<p><b>from all the plunder they had brought back</b><br>This refers to the spoils of war that Asa and his army had acquired after defeating the Cushites. The act of offering plunder as sacrifices demonstrates a recognition that victory and wealth come from God. It also shows a willingness to dedicate the best of their gains to the LORD, acknowledging His role in their success. This act of giving back to God from their plunder is reminiscent of the principle of firstfruits, where the first and best are offered to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asa.htm">Asa</a></b><br>The king of Judah during this time, known for his religious reforms and efforts to return the people to the worship of Yahweh.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, where Asa reigned and led the people in a covenant renewal with God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The God of Israel, to whom the sacrifices were made as an act of worship and dedication.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sacrifices.htm">Sacrifices</a></b><br>The act of offering oxen and sheep as a form of worship and thanksgiving to God, symbolizing devotion and repentance.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/plunder.htm">Plunder</a></b><br>The spoils taken from military victories, which were used to honor God, showing gratitude for His provision and protection.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/commitment_to_god.htm">Commitment to God</a></b><br>Asa's actions demonstrate a wholehearted commitment to God, reminding us of the importance of dedicating our lives and resources to Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_through_sacrifice.htm">Worship through Sacrifice</a></b><br>The sacrifices made by Asa and the people illustrate the principle of worship through giving, encouraging us to offer our best to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_for_god's_provision.htm">Gratitude for God's Provision</a></b><br>Using the plunder for sacrifices shows gratitude for God's blessings, teaching us to acknowledge His hand in our victories and successes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/covenant_renewal.htm">Covenant Renewal</a></b><br>Asa's reforms and the sacrifices signify a renewal of the covenant with God, prompting us to regularly renew our commitment to Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_worship.htm">Community Worship</a></b><br>The collective act of sacrifice highlights the importance of communal worship and unity in seeking God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_chronicles_15.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Chronicles 15</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_non-levites_handle_the_ark.htm">In 1 Chronicles 15:2, where David insists only the Levites may carry the Ark, how do we reconcile this claim with any instances where non-Levites handled it or transported it in other texts?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_2_chron._23_1-7_and_2_kings_11_differ.htm">Why do the details in 2 Chronicles 23:1-7 differ from the parallel account in 2 Kings 11, suggesting possible biblical inconsistencies?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/was_abijah's_mother_michaiah_or_maachah.htm">What was King Abijah's mother's name: Michaiah (2 Chronicles 13:2) or Maachah (2 Chronicles 11:20), given Absalom's only daughter was Tamar (2 Samuel 14:27)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_baasha_attack_judah_after_his_death.htm">How can 2 Chronicles 16:1 claim Baasha attacked Judah in Asa's thirty-sixth year if 1 Kings 15:33 indicates Baasha died years earlier?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) <span class= "bld">The same time.</span>--<span class= "ital">On that day;</span> viz., the day appointed for the festival, in the third month, <span class= "ital">i.e.,</span> Sivan, corresponding to part of May and June.<p><span class= "bld">Of the spoil which they had brought.</span>--The spoil of Zerah, the cities round Gerar, and the nomadic tribes (<a href="/context/2_chronicles/14-13.htm" title="And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.">2Chronicles 14:13-15</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - These offerings were probably chiefly of the nature of peace offerings (<a href="/leviticus/7-11.htm">Leviticus 7:11-21</a>).
