7And at that time Hanani, the seer, came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and not on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria escaped out from you. 8Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim a not huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, when you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand. 9For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, so that He may support those whose heart is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly; therefore, from henceforth you shall have wars”. 10Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for Asa was angered by Hanani’s message. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

11Now the acts of Asa, first to last, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12And Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, was afflicted with a disease of his feet, which became severe; and again he did not consult the LORD, but physicians. 13And Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign and slept with his fathers. 14And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him on a bier filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' (apothecaries') art; and they made a very great fire to honor him.
