2 Chronicles 16:8-14

New International Version

⁸ Were not the Cushites^[a](A) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers^(B) of chariots and horsemen^[b]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered^(C) them into your hand. ⁹ For the eyes^(D) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish^(E) thing, and from now on you will be at war.^(F)”

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

¹¹ The events of Asa’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. ¹² In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted^(H) with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek^(I) help from the Lord,^(J) but only from the physicians. ¹³ Then in the forty-first year of his reign Asa died and rested with his ancestors. ¹⁴ They buried him in the tomb that he had cut out for himself^(K) in the City of David. They laid him on a bier covered with spices and various blended perfumes,^(L) and they made a huge fire^(M) in his honor.
