2 Chronicles 16:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 At that time the seer[a] Hanani came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, “Because you depended on the king of Syria and did not depend on Yahweh your Elohim, the army of the king of Aram has escaped your grasp. 8 Weren’t the Sudanese and Libyans a large army with many chariots and drivers? But when you depended on Yahweh, he handed them over to you. 9 Yahweh’s eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him and to strengthen them. You acted foolishly in this matter. So from now on, you will have to fight wars.”

2 Chronicles 16:7-9
New International Version
7 At that time Hanani(A) the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied(B) on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites[a](C) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers(D) of chariots and horsemen[b]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered(E) them into your hand. 9 For the eyes(F) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish(G) thing, and from now on you will be at war.(H)”
