2 Chronicles 16:7-10

New International Version

⁷ At that time Hanani^(A) the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied^(B) on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. ⁸ Were not the Cushites^[a](C) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers^(D) of chariots and horsemen^[b]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered^(E) them into your hand. ⁹ For the eyes^(F) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish^(G) thing, and from now on you will be at war.^(H)”

¹⁰ Asa was angry with the seer because of this; he was so enraged that he put him in prison.^(I) At the same time Asa brutally oppressed some of the people.
