7

At that timeh6256  aHananih2607 the seerh7203a cameh935 to Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 and saidh559 to him, " bBecause you have reliedh8172 on the kingh4428 of Aramh758 and have not reliedh8172 on the LORDh3068 your Godh430, thereforeh5921h3651 the armyh2428 of the kingh4428 of Aramh758 has escapedh4422 out of your handh3027.

8

"Were not  athe Ethiopiansh3569 and the Lubimh3864  ban immenseh7230 armyh2428 with veryh3966 manyh7235a chariotsh7393 and horsemenh6571b? Yet  cbecause you reliedh8172 on the LORDh3068, He deliveredh5414 them into your handh3027.

9

"For  athe eyesh5869 of the LORDh3068 moveh7751a to and froh7751a throughouth3605 the earthh776 that He may stronglyh2388 supporth2388 those  bwhose hearth3824 is completelyh8003 His. You have actedh5528 foolishlyh5528 in thish2088. Indeedh3588, from nowh6258 on you will surely haveh3426 warsh4421."

10

Then Asah609 was angryh3707 with the seerh7203a and puth5414 him in  1prisonh1004h4115, for he was enragedh2197 at him for thish2088. And Asah609 oppressedh7533 someh4480 of the peopleh5971a at the sameh1931 timeh6256.

11

 aNowh2009, the actsh1697 of Asah609 from firsth7223 to lasth314, beholdh2009, they are writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 and Israelh3478.

In the thirty-ninthh7970h8672 yearh8141 of his reignh4438 Asah609 becameh2456 diseasedh2456 in his feeth7272. His diseaseh2483 was severeh4605, yet evenh1571 in his diseaseh2483 he  adid not seekh1875 the LORDh3068, but the physiciansh7495.

13

So Asah609 slepth7901 with his fathersh1,  1having diedh4191 in the forty-firsth705h259 yearh8141 of his reignh4427a.

14

They buriedh6912 him in his own tombh6913 whichh834 he had cuth3738a out for himself in the cityh5892b of Davidh1732, and they laidh7901 him in the restingh4904 placeh4904 whichh834 he had filledh4390  awith spicesh1314 of various kindsh2177 blendedh7543 by the perfumers'h4842h7543 arth4639; and  bthey madeh8313 a veryh5704h3966 greath1419 fireh8316 for him.
