Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Chronicles 16
¹¹ Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
¹² And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians.
¹³ So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
¹⁴ They buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made a very great burning for him.
2 Chronicles 17
¹ Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
² And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.
³ Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,
⁴ but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.
⁵ Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
⁶ And his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.
⁷ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
