“The passage shows the impiety of the ten tribes: "For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law; but when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them." Do not imitate, the Scripture says, the impiety of your brother…”

In context
1And Azariah the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
2and 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 ye are with him; and if ye seek him out, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
— 2 Chronicles 15:3 —
4But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
5And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
