8. Remember how powerful the Ethiopian and Libyan army was, with all their chariots and cavalry troops! You trusted the Lord to help you then, and you defeated them.
9. The Lord is constantly watching everyone, and he gives strength to those who faithfully obey him. But you have done a foolish thing, and your kingdom will never be at peace again.
10. When Asa heard this, he was so angry that he put Hanani in prison. Asa was also cruel to some of his people.
11. Everything Asa did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
