Context of 2 Chronicles 16:11

9The Lord carefully watches over the whole earth. If people serve him faithfully, he makes them strong. But you have done a foolish thing. As a result, you will now always be fighting wars.’ 10Asa was angry with the prophet, so he put him in prison. At that time Asa also started to do cruel things to some people. All the things that happened while Asa was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of the kings of Judah and Israel’. 12When Asa had been king for 39 years, he had a disease in his feet. He became very ill, but he did not ask the Lord to help him. Instead, he asked doctors to make him better. 13Asa died when he had been king for 41 years.
