Context of 2 Chronicles 16:11

9The Lord’s eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him and to strengthen them. You acted foolishly in this matter. So from now on, you will have to fight wars.” 10Asa was furious at the seer. He was so angry with Hanani that he put Hanani in prison. Asa also oppressed some of the people at that time in his reign. Everything about Asa from first to last is written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa got a foot disease that became progressively worse. Instead of asking the Lord for help, he went to doctors. 13Asa lay down in death with his ancestors. He died in the forty-first year of his reign.
