2 Chronicles 16:14
And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries’ art: and they made a very great burning for him.
2 Chronicles 16:14 belongs to the history of Asa's reign in Judah recorded in 2 Chronicles 1 to 20, which covers Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijah, Asa, and the beginning of Jehoshaphat. Within that history it falls in Asa's good reign after Judah's great victory over the Ethiopians and before the good reign and reforms of Jehoshaphat. Asa was one of Judah's truly great and good kings, the greatest king in Judah after Solomon and the united kingdom.
His reign stands in contrast to the seven kings who reigned over backsliding Israel between Solomon's death and Jehoshaphat — Jeroboam, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Omri, and Ahab — who turned early from God by Jeroboam's calves of gold and had little care for God's voice or service despite appeals from God's prophets, a contrast of great practical benefit. At the same time the northern kingdom is reckoned under the Jeroboam I dynasty including Jeroboam, Nadab and Baasha, the dynasty of Omri including Ahab, Ahaziah and Joram, and impulsive, rash Jehu under whose dynasty came Jehoahaz and Jehoash.
Although great, Asa ended his days foolishly, relapsing from following the Lord into heathenish rage and meeting an untimely death. After a prophet reproved his faults Asa became angry, put the prophet in prison, and oppressed the people, and in distress and severe disease he sought help from physicians rather than from Jehovah. The burial in this verse closed that downward course and death.
