Physician

Physician - (Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Asa, afflicted with some bodily malady, "sought not to the Lord but to the physicians" (2 Chr. 16:12). The "physicians" were those who "practised heathen arts of magic, disavowing recognized methods of cure, and dissociating the healing art from dependence on the God of Israel. The sin of Asa was not, therefore, in seeking medical advice, as we understand the phrase, but in forgetting Jehovah."

Physician - (Webster's 1828 Dictionary)

PHYSI'CIAN, n. A person skilled in the art of healing; one whose profession is to prescribe remedies for diseases.

1. In a spiritual sense, one that heals moral diseases; as a physician of the soul.
