Contextual Overview

1Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, 2and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yahweh is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will be found; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 3Now for many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law. 4But in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and they searched for Him, and He was found by them. 5Now in those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for much confusion was upon all the inhabitants of the lands. 6And nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God threw them into confusion with every kind of distress. 7But you, be strong and do not let your hands fall limp, for there is reward for your work."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak,.... Be hearty, earnest, and vigorous, and not languid and remiss in reforming the worship of God, which Asa had begun:

for your work shall be rewarded; with peace and prosperity at home, and success against enemies abroad, of which they had had a recent instance.
