HANANI’S REBUKE OF ASA

7 At that time, the seer Hananir came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, “Because you depended on the king of Aram and have not depended on the Lord your God,s the army of the king of Aram has escaped from you. 8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen?t When you depended on the Lord, he handed them over to you.u 9 For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earthv to show himself strong for those who are wholeheartedly devoted to him.w You have been foolish in this matter. Therefore, you will have wars from now on.”
