דברי הימים ב, פרק ט״ז, פסוק י״א

The summary of King Asa's reign reflects a life defined by significant spiritual change, tracing a path from his early days to his final years [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. His earlier actions represent the righteous beginning of his rule, while his later deeds point to a period when he stumbled and suffered a deep spiritual decline [מלבי״ם]. Despite this shift, the life and actions of the King of Judah left a powerful impression on the region. His history was so significant that it was preserved not only in the records of his own kingdom but also documented in the chronicles of the neighboring kings of Israel [מצודת דוד].
