#59: Old Testament Home Depot Trip

This morning at breakfast I was reading 2 Chronicles 16 about the war between Asa and Baasha. Asa hired Ben-Hadad to fight for him, got Baasha to stop building and "then King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and with them he fortified Geba and Mizpah."
Might doesn't necessarily make right, but it certainly alters the home improvement business of nations no matter where they are! The problem was that God was a bit irritated with old Asa and let him know through His prophet, who got chucked in jail as a result of calling down Asa.
Later on, Asa got a disease in his feet that killed him when he trusted in doctors instead of God.
Wonder if he stepped on a nail and got gangrene from walking around on the job site of swiped materials?
Got retribution?
