919 BC, Jerusalem. King Asa returns victorious from battle. Prophet Azariah feels God's Spirit compelling him to approach the king with a crucial message...
The emotion here: reverent awe at documenting divine communication
The original word
ruach (רוּחַ) — wind, breath, spirit - the invisible force that moves things
Why it matters

Read with care
What most readers miss in 2 Chronicles 15:1
