In the Bible, "Asa" is a Hebrew name that generally means "healer" or "physician". It is most famously associated with King Asa, the third king of the southern kingdom of Judah, a descendant of David.
He ruled for forty-one years (1 Kings 15:10) and “did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God” (2 Chronicles 14:2). The biblical account of Asa’s reign is detailed in 1 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 14–16.
Asa also commanded his people to follow the Lord (2 Chronicles 14:4).
First Kings 15:14 says, “Although he did not remove the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life” and The Lord gave him and his land rest and prosperity (see also 2 Chronicles 15:17).
