| 2 Chronicles 7:14 |
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (chadfisheronline.com) |
Promise made to Solomon after the dedication of the temple. The healing here is of the land (which may include the people) tied to repentance and seeking God. |
| 2 Chronicles 16:12 |
“In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.” (Bible Hub) |
A case of illness, but Asa did not seek God. It illustrates physical suffering and trust issues in how healing is sought. |
| 2 Chronicles 30:20 |
“And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.” (Bible Hub) |
Hezekiah led a reformation, reinstated Passover, the people turned back to God, and God healed them. |
| 2 Chronicles 32:24 |
“In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.” (Bible Hub) |
Hezekiah’s illness reaches a critical point; he prays, God responds with a sign, implying healing and deliverance. |
| 2 Chronicles 21:15-19 |
Verses describing Jehoram’s disease: “You yourself will suffer with a severe intestinal disease … after all this the LORD struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease … at the end of two years … he died in great pain.” (Biblia) |
These are examples of severe sickness as judgment rather than healing. Included here because they explicitly describe disease and the human experience of suffering. |
