2 Chronicles 16:7-12

English Standard Version

⁷ At that time ^(A)Hanani ^(B)the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, ^(C)“Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. ⁸ Were not ^(D)the Ethiopians and ^(E)the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet ^(F)because you relied on the Lord, he gave them into your hand. ^9 (G)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those ^(H)whose heart is blameless^[a] toward him. ^(I)You have done foolishly in this, for from now on ^(J)you will have wars.” ¹⁰ Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him ^(K)in the stocks in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.

^11 (L)The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. ¹² In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from physicians.
