The meaning of Asa in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
physician, son of Abijah and grandson of Rehoboam, was the third king of Judah. He was zealous in maintaining the true worship of God, and in rooting all idolatry, with its accompanying immoralities, out of the land (I Kings 15:8-14). The Lord gave him and his land rest and prosperity. It is recorded of him, however, that in his old age, when afflicted, he "sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians" (Compare Jeremiah 17:5). He died in the forty-first year of his reign, greatly honoured by his people (II Chronicles 16:1-13), and was succeeded by his son Jehoshaphat.
