2Chronicles 15

Unlike rebellious Israel, Judah sometimes had good kings. Asa was one of those.

Look at the way he responded to the prophet. There are basically three ways to respond when confronted by the word of God. You can ignore it, which is what evil kings did. You can despair, which is what weak kings did. Or you can accept it and work harder, which is what good kings did. Asa chose the third.
