A Heart Perfect Toward Him

Name Date

Read and Think

In Asa's later years, Baasha of Israel fortified Ramah to cut off Judah. Asa did not cry to God as he had against Zerah. Instead he took silver and gold from the treasuries of Yahweh's house and the palace and sent them to Ben Hadad of Syria. Ben Hadad attacked Israel, and Baasha stopped building.

The plan worked, but Hanani the seer rebuked Asa. Asa had relied on the king of Syria and not on Yahweh his God. God had given him victory over the Ethiopians when he relied on Him. Yahweh's eyes run throughout the whole earth to show himself strong for those whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly.

Asa was angry and put the seer in prison, and he treated some of the people harshly. In his thirty-ninth year, his feet became badly diseased, yet he sought only the physicians, not Yahweh. He died in his forty-first year, and they made a great burning in his honor.
