Physician in Easton's Bible Dictionary
Asa, afflicted with some bodily malady, "sought not to the
Lord
but to the physicians" (2 Chr. 16:12). The
"physicians" were
those who "practised heathen arts of magic, disavowing
recognized methods of cure, and dissociating the
healing art
from dependence on the God of Israel. The sin of Asa
was not,
therefore, in seeking medical advice, as we understand
the
phrase, but in forgetting Jehovah."
