7At that time Chanani the seer came to Asa king of Yehudah and said to him, “Because you relied on the king of Aram and did not rely on Hashem your G-d, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.

8Were not the Kushim and the Luvim a great army, with chariots and horsemen in very great number? Yet because you relied on Hashem, He gave them into your hand.

9For Hashem, His eyes roam over all the earth, to show His strength on behalf of those whose heart is whole toward Him. You have acted foolishly in this, for from now on you will have wars.”
