The death of Asa
See them side by side
2 Chronicles 16:11-14
11The deeds of Asa, the first and the last, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12Asa became diseased in year thirty-nine of his reign in his feet, until his disease was very severe; yet even in his disease he did not seek YHWH, but the physicians. 13Asa lay down with his fathers, and he died in year forty-one of his reign. 14They buried him in his tombs that he had dug for himself in the city of David, and they laid him on the bed that they had filled with spices and perfumes of various kinds blended as a perfumer’s work; and they made for him a very great burning.
23The rest of all the deeds of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only in the time of his old age he became diseased in his feet. 24Asa lay down with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
The context
10Asa was angry with the seer and put him in the house of the stocks, for he was in a rage with him over this. And Asa crushed some of the people at that time.
