Strong's Lexicon Asa: Asa Original Word: אָסָא Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָשָׂה (asah), meaning "to do" or "to make." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Asa in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates Asa as Ἀσά (Asa). Usage: Asa is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is most notably the name of a king of Judah, who is recognized for his religious reforms and efforts to rid the land of idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: Asa was the third king of the Kingdom of Judah and reigned for 41 years, approximately from 911 to 870 BC. He was the son of Abijah and the grandson of Rehoboam. Asa is noted for his commitment to the worship of Yahweh and his efforts to reform the religious practices of Judah, which included removing idols and prohibiting pagan worship. His reign is marked by a period of peace and prosperity, attributed to his faithfulness to God. Asa's religious reforms were significant in the context of the divided monarchy, where the northern kingdom of Israel often fell into idolatry.
