2 CHR 16 ©

16But in the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel attacked Judah, fortifying Ramah in order to prevent anyone pass­ing to or from Asa king of Judah. 2So Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the temple of the Eternal and the royal palace, and sent this message to Benhadad the king of Aram at Damascus: 3“There is an alliance between myself and you, as there was between my father and your father. Here is a present of silver and gold; come, break your alliance with Baasha the king of Israel, and force him to let me alone.” 4Benhadad agreed to king Asa’s request; he sent his generals to attack the towns of Israel, and they stormed Ijon, Dan, and Abel-maim, as well as all the store-towns of Naphtali. 5When Baasha heard this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his enterprise. 6Then king Asa took all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber with which Baasha had been fortifying Ramah; Asa used them to fortify Geba and Mizpah.

7Then Hanani the seer came and told Asa king of Judah, “You have lost a victory over the Aramaean army, by relying on the king of Aram instead of relying on the Eternal your God. 8Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge host, with an enormous number of chariots and cavalry? Yet the Eternal put them into your power, because you relied on him. 9For the Eternal’s eyes dart here and there over the whole world, as he exerts his power on behalf of those who are devoted to him. This is a foolish deed of yours; after this you will have to fight.” 10Asa, angry at the seer, clapped him into the stocks, for he was in a rage with him for what he said. It was at this time also that Asa tortured some of the people.

11Now the acts of Asa, from first to last, are described in the History of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa’s feet became diseased; the disease was very painful, and Asa had recourse to his physicians, not to the Eternal. 13Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign; 14he was buried in a tomb of his own, which he had cut out for himself in David’s burg, and was laid out in a resting-place filled with fragrant perfumes and all kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; a large bonfire was lit in his honour.
