As for all the other events of Asa’s reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased. (1 Kings 15:23)
My feet are killing me! I love a detail like this. It’s just like a journalist to include such a personal tidbit of information. It could be a “juicy” tidbit at that, since “feet” is sometimes employed as a euphemism for genitalia in ancient texts.
