Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 16:9

9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them, whose heart is perfect toward him; herein thou hast done foolishly; therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars .

i. e. Upright and sincere, as thine is not. Obj. The heart of Asa is said to be perfect all his days, ch. 15. 17. Ans. He was perfect and sincere in the things here spoken of in the Establishment of the outward Worship of God; but not in the inward Worship of God, trusting, and fearing, and loving him with all his heart, of which he here speaks. Or thus, He was perfect or sincere in the general Course of his Life, though in some particulars, whereof this is one, his heart did not perfectly cleave to God, as it should have done.

With Baasha, ch. 16. 4.
