14:016:007 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah,
           and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of
           Syria, and not relied on the lord thy God, therefore is the
           host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.

14:016:008 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very
           many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on
           the lord, he delivered them into thine hand.

14:016:009 For the eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole
           earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose
           heart is perfect toward him.  Herein thou hast done foolishly: 
           therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

14:016:010 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison
           house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. 
           And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

14:016:011 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are
           written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

14:016:012 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased
           in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great:  yet in his
           disease he sought not to the lord, but to the physicians.

14:016:013 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and
           fortieth year of his reign.

14:016:014 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made
           for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed
           which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices
           prepared by the apothecaries’ art:  and they made a very great
           burning for him.

14:017:001 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened
           himself against Israel.

14:017:002 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and
           set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of
           Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

14:017:003 And the lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the
           first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

14:017:004 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his
           commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

14:017:005 Therefore the lord stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all
           Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and
           honour in abundance.

14:017:006 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the lord:  moreover
           he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

14:017:007 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes,
           even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to
           Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
