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.

Barnes' Notes
<< 2 Chronicles 16:9   2 Chronicles 16:11 >>


2 Chronicles 16:7-10

The rebuke of Hanani and his imprisonment by Asa, omitted by the writer of Kings, are among the most important of the additions to Asa' s history for which we are indebted to the author of Chronicles.

II Chronicles 16:7

Escaped out of thine hand - Hanani means, "Hadst thou been faithful, and opposed in arms the joint host of Israel and Syria, instead of bribing the Syrian king to desert to thy side, the entire host would have been delivered into thy hand, as was Zerah' s. But now it is escaped from thee. Thou hast lost a glorious opportunity."

II Chronicles 16:9

From henceforth thou shalt have wars - As peace had been the reward of Asa' s earlier faith II Chronicles 14:5; II Chronicles 15:5, so his want of faith was now to be punished by a period of war and disturbance.

II Chronicles 16:10

In a prison house - Or, "in the stocks." Compare I Kings 22:26-27.
