At that time^H6256 Hanani^H2607 the seer^H7203 came^H935 to Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 and said^H559 to him, “Because you have relied^H8172 on the king^H4428 of Aram^H758 and have not relied^H8172 on the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, for that^H3651 reason^H3651 the army^H2428 of the king^H4428 of Aram^H758 has escaped^H4422 from your hand^H3027.

2Ch 16:9

2Ch 16:9“For the eyes of the LORD roam throughout the earth, so that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will have wars.”

Now^H2009, the acts^H1697 of Asa^H609 from the first^H7223 to the last^H314, behold^H2009, they are written^H3789 in the Book^H5612 of the Kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063 and Israel^H3478.

2Ch 16:14They buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
