Asa Imprisons a Seer

⁷ Now at that time ^(A)Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “^(B)Because you have leaned on the king of Aram and have not leaned on Yahweh your God, therefore the military force of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. ⁸ Were not ^(C)the Ethiopians and the Lubim ^(D)a vast military force with an exceedingly vast number of chariots and horsemen? Yet ^(E)because you leaned on Yahweh, He gave them into your hand. ⁹ For ^(F)the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those ^(G)whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.” ¹⁰ Then Asa was vexed with the seer and put him in ^[a]prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
