16 In the thirty-sixth year of King Asa’s reign, Yisrael’s king Baasha invaded Yehudah and built Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the land of Yehudah’s King Asa. 2 Asa took gold and silver from the temple treasuries and the king’s palace, and he sent it to King Ben-Hadad of Aram (modern Syria), who lived in Damascus, requesting, 3 “I want a peace treaty between you and me, and between your family and mine. Listen, I’ve sent gold and silver to you. Go and break your agreement with Yisrael’s King Baasha, so he’ll give up on his attack against me.”
4 Ben-Hadad accepted King Asa’s suggestion and sent his army captains to fight against Yisrael’s cities. They struck Iyyon, Dan, and Abel-Mayim, and all the storehouses in the Naftali cities. 5 When King Baasha heard about that, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned the project, 6 so King Asa took men there from Yehudah. They carried away all the building stones from Ramah, along with the timber which Baasha had been using, and used it all to build Geva and Mitspah (north of Yerushalem).
7 At that time, the prophet Hanani went to Yehudah’s King Asa, and told him, “Because you relied on the king from Aram rather than on your god Yahweh, therefore the Aramean king’s army has escaped from being defeated by you. 8 Weren’t the Kushites and the Libyans overwhelming in number with chariots and horsemen, yet because you relied on Yahweh, he helped you defeat them, 9 because Yahweh sees everything that’s happening all over the world, and he strengthens those who trust him completely. You’ve been foolish in what you’ve just done, so from now on, you’ll be facing wars.” 10 But King Asa was angry at the prophet, very angry, and had him put in prison, and after that Asa oppressed some of his people.
11 All of Asa’s projects from the beginning of his reign to the end are written in the scroll about the kings of Yehudah and Yisrael. 12 King Asa got a disease the started in his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign. Even as it got worse, he didn’t try to get Yahweh to help him, only doctors. 13 Then Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign, 14 and he was buried in the tomb that he’d had carved out in ‘The City of David’. They laid his corpse on a bed of prepared spices and perfumes that had been mixed ready. Then they lit a large bonfire in his honour.
