Example: King AsaII Chronicles 14:2-4, 11-12; 15:1-2, 8-18Asa did good but left the high places.II Chronicles 16:2, 7-9 – Asa should have repented right here.II Chronicles 16:10 – Instead, Asa imprisons the prophet.II Chronicles 16:12 – Even in ill health, Asa did not turn to seek God.This calls for radical repentance.
