THE MESSAGE
Then Azariah son of Obed, moved by the Spirit of God, went out to meet Asa. He said, "Listen carefully, Asa, and listen Judah and Benjamin: God will stick with you as long as you stick with him. If you look for him he will let himself be found; but if you leave him he'll leave you. For a long time Israel didn't have the real God, nor did they have the help of priest or teacher or book. But when they were in trouble and got serious, and decided to seek God , the God of Israel, God let himself be found. At that time it was a dog-eat-dog world; life was constantly up for grabs—no one, regardless of country, knew what the next day might bring. Nation battered nation, city pummeled city. God let loose every kind of trouble among them.

Contextual Overview

¹Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.²So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. ³For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without law. ⁴But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them. ⁵In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts. ⁶Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity. ⁷But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded,.... The same with Iddo, as Hillerus h thinks; and some suppose this to be the name of the son as well as the father, but called Azariah, to distinguish him from him, see 2 Chronicles 15:8 on whom came, as the Targum, the spirit of prophecy, instructing him what to say to Asa; and the Jews say i he is the same with Iddo, and he the same that was sent to Jeroboam, to reprove him for the altar he built.

h Onomastic, Sacr. p. 458. i In Hieron. Trad. Heb. in Paralipom. fol. 84. L. & 85. A.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Oded is by some identified with Iddo, the prophet and historian of the two preceding reigns. In the Hebrew the two names differ very slightly.
