Settings

11 1The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but sought help from physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 They buried him in the tomb that he had cut for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier 2that had been filled with various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumer's art, 3and they made a very great fire in his honor.
