Egypt attacked Judah during the reign of Rehoboam, but that battle failed, probably because of his sins. Rehoboam did not show that he loved God, and that he had God\u2019s heart in mind. However, Asa\u2019s was God\u2019s man for the generation. He followed and obeyed God. So when the time came for a certain battle in his life, God helped him. It would be a hard struggle. However, there was victory because of Asa\u2019s faithfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">2.
