The Definition of the word Physician

Physician

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."
