Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

15:1
καὶΑζαριαςυἱὸςΩδηδἐγένετοἐπ’αὐτὸνπνεῦμακυρίου
And as for Azarias son of Oded, the spirit of the Lord came upon him.
And he went out to meet Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
And when he heard these words and the prophecy of Adad the prophet, he took courage and removed the abominations from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in Mount Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the Lord which was in front of the temple of the Lord.
And he assembled Judah and Benjamin and the proselytes who sojourned with him from Ephraim and from Manasseh and from Symeon; for many from Israel joined him when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
And all Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they swore with all their soul, and with all their will they sought him, and he was found by them; and the Lord gave them rest all around.
