9 "For 1the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those 2whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars."
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison *, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 3Now, the acts of Asa from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth * year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he 4did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.
13 So Asa slept with his fathers, having died in the forty-first * year of his reign.
14 They 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 5with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers' * art; and 6they made a very * great fire for him.

Baasha coming up against Judah, and building Ramah, Asa made a league with the king of Syria, and hired him to make a diversion in his favour, and cause Baasha to leave off building, which succeeded, 2Ch 16:1-6, for which he was reproved by a prophet of the Lord, with whom he was so angry for it as to put him in prison, and oppress others, 2Ch 16:7,10, and the chapter is closed with an account of his disease and conduct under it, and of his death and burial, 2Ch 16:11-14.
