Hanani’s Message to Asa
7 And at that time aHanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: b“Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
8 Were athe Ethiopians and bthe Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your chand.
9 aFor the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this byou have done foolishly; therefore from now on cyou shall have wars.”
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and aput him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
Illness and Death of Asa
11 aNote that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he adid not seek the Lord, but the physicians.
13 aSo Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had1 made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled awith spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made ba very great burning for him.
