Does God cause evil?

2 Chronicles 21 vs. 15-18 – 15. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. ¹⁶And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. ¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. ¹⁸Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

Yes, God can cause evils to happen to you if you forsake his laws.
In this passage, God afflicted Jeroboam with sicknesses as a punishment for idolatry.
