The invasion of Yisrael of Yehudah

17King Baasha invaded Yehudah and fortified Ramah so that no one could pass in or out to help King Asa of Yehudah. 18So Asa took all the remaining gold and silver from the temple and palace storerooms, and sent it with his servants to take to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of King Hezion of Aram who lived in Damascus, to tell him, 19You and me have an agreement between us that was made by our two fathers, so look, I’ve sent a present of gold and silver to you. So then, break your agreement with King Baasha of Yisrael so he’ll give up on attacking me.”

20Ben-Hadad did what king Asa requested, and he sent the commanders of his best warriors to attack Israeli cities including Iyon, Dan, Abel-Beyt-Maakah, and all Kinnerot along with all Naftali region. 21When King Baasha heard about that, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirtsah.

22Then King Asa informed all Yehudah that they were needed at Ramah. They removed the stones and timber from Baasha’s fortifications, and king Asa used the materials to build Geba (in Benyamin) and Mitspah.
