Chronicles 2 ch.16 - Assa's Downturn

Up to this point, Assa has a stellar record in biblical terms.

But now, he makes a "covenant" with Syria (rather than God), relies on himself (rather than God) and ignores, even imprisons the prophet , oppresses his people, and when he gets sick consults with doctors (rather than God.)

This is Assa's downturn.

But he gets a very nice funeral!! ;-)
