II. אסה (compare Arabic Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָסָא (asa), meaning "to heal" or "to cure."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G760, Ἀσά (Asa), which is used in the genealogy of Jesus in the New Testament, specifically in Matthew 1:7-8, where Asa is listed as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Usage: Asa is primarily used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a king of Judah. Context: Asa was the third king of the Kingdom of Judah and the son of Abijah. His reign is noted for religious reforms and efforts to rid Judah of idolatry. Asa is recognized for his commitment to the worship of Yahweh and his opposition to pagan practices. He reigned for 41 years, during which he fortified cities and strengthened the kingdom's defenses. Asa's reign is detailed in 1 Kings 15:9-24 and 2 Chronicles 14-16. He is commended for his initial faithfulness to God, but later in his reign, he relied on foreign alliances rather than seeking divine guidance, which led to criticism from the prophet Hanani. Despite his shortcomings, Asa is remembered as a king who "did what was right in the eyes of the LORD" (1 Kings 15:11, BSB).
