7 And at that time Hanani, the seer, came to Asa, king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore, the host of the king of Syria has escaped out of thy hands.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand.
9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly, for from now on thou shalt have wars.
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer and put him in the prison house, for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa killed some of the people at the same time.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 And Asa in the year thirty-nine of his reign was diseased from his feet up; yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers and died in the year forty-one of his reign.
