Hanani’s Rebuke of Asa
7 At that time, Hanani(A) the seer came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, “Because you depended on the king of Aram and have not depended on the Lord your God,(B) the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen?(C) When you depended on Yahweh, He handed them over to you.(D) 9 For the eyes of Yahweh roam throughout the earth(E) to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are completely His.(F) You have been foolish in this matter. Therefore, you will have wars from now on.” 10 Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison[a] because of his anger over this. And Asa mistreated some of the people at that time.

2 Chronicles 16:7-10
New International Version
7 At that time Hanani(A) the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied(B) on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites[a](C) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers(D) of chariots and horsemen[b]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered(E) them into your hand. 9 For the eyes(F) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish(G) thing, and from now on you will be at war.(H)”
10 Asa was angry with the seer because of this; he was so enraged that he put him in prison.(I) At the same time Asa brutally oppressed some of the people.
