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.

2 Chronicles 16:12

Sought not - He did not humble himself before God, but put his confidence in the skill and faithfulness of his physicians. His making use of physicians was his duty, but his trusting in them, and expecting that from them, which was to be had from God only, was his sin and folly. The help of every creature must be used, with an eye to the creator, and in dependence on him, who makes every creature that to us which it is, without whom the most skilful and faithful are physicians of no value.
