Prophet Azariah
Prophet
Saint Azariah, son of Oded, prophesied during the days of Asa, king of Judah. Filled with the Spirit of God, he urged the king and the people to abandon idol worship and serve the True God faithfully. Following Asa's glorious victory over Zerah, the king of Ethiopia, the king and the people rejected the idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin. Many of the Israelites turned to the True God, gathering in Jerusalem, and they entered into a covenant with God, giving a solemn promise never to turn away from Him. God blessed them with lasting peace.
