2 Chronicles 16-18 - Asa did not lean on Yahweh

Asa’s Last Years

2Ch 16:7 LSB - [7] Now at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, "Because you have leaned on the king of Aram and have not leaned on Yahweh your God, therefore the military force of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.

2Ch 16:12 LSB - [12] And Asa became diseased in his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek Yahweh, but the physicians.

2Ch 16:14 LSB - [14] And they buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great fire for him.

Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah

2Ch 17:3-4 LSB - [3] And Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the ways of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals, [4] but sought the God of his father, walked in His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.

2Ch 17:6 LSB - [6] And his heart took great pride in the ways of Yahweh, and again he took away the high places and the Asherim from Judah.

2Ch 17:9 LSB - [9] And they taught in Judah, [having] the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

Jehoshaphat Allies with Ahab

2Ch 18:1 LSB - [1] Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself by marriage with Ahab.

2Ch 18:6 LSB - [6] But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of Yahweh here that we may inquire of him?"

2Ch 18:28 LSB - [28] So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.
