2 Chronicles 16:1-14

In the six
<08337>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of the reign
<04438>

of Asa
<0609>

Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Judah
<03063>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

Ramah
<07414>_,

to the intent that
<01115>

he might let
<05414> (8800)

none go out
<03318> (8802)

or come in
<0935> (8802)

to Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Then Asa
<0609>

brought out
<03318> (8686)

silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>

out of the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

and of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

to Benhadad
<01130>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

at Damascus
<01834>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[There is] a league
<01285>

between me and thee, as [there was] between my father
<01>

and thy father
<01>_:

behold, I have sent
<07971> (8804)

thee silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_;

go
<03212> (8798)_,

break
<06565> (8685)

thy league
<01285>

with Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that he may depart
<05927> (8799)

And Benhadad
<01130>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto king
<04428>

Asa
<0609>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

the captains
<08269>

of his armies
<02428>

against the cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

Ijon
<05859>_,

and Dan
<01835>_,

and Abelmaim
<066>_,

and all the store
<04543>

cities
<05892>

of Naphtali
<05321>_.

And it came to pass, when Baasha
<01201>

heard
<08085> (8800)

[it], that he left off
<02308> (8799)

building
<01129> (8800)

of Ramah
<07414>_,

and let his work
<04399>

cease
<07673> (8686)_.

Then Asa
<0609>

the king
<04428>

took
<03947> (8804)

all Judah
<03063>_;

and they carried away
<05375> (8799)

the stones
<068>

of Ramah
<07414>_,

and the timber
<06086>

thereof, wherewith Baasha
<01201>

was building
<01129> (8804)_;

and he built
<01129> (8799)

therewith Geba
<01387>

and Mizpah
<04709>_.

And at that time
<06256>

Hanani
<02607>

the seer
<07200> (8802)

came
<0935> (8804)

to Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because thou hast relied
<08172> (8736)

on the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and not relied
<08172> (8738)

on the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

therefore is the host
<02428>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

escaped
<04422> (8738)

out of thine hand
<03027>_.

Were not the Ethiopians
<03569>

and the Lubims
<03864>

a huge
<07230>

host
<02428>_,

with very
<03966>

many
<07235> (8687)

chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>_?

yet, because thou didst rely
<08172> (8736)

on the LORD
<03068>_,

he delivered
<05414> (8804)

them into thine hand
<03027>_.

For the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

run to and fro
<07751> (8789)

throughout the whole earth
<0776>_,

to shew himself strong
<02388> (8692)

in the behalf of [them] whose heart
<03824>

[is] perfect
<08003>

toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly
<05528> (8738)_:

therefore from henceforth
<06258>

thou shalt have
<03426>

wars
<04421>_.

Then Asa
<0609>

was wroth
<03707> (8799)

with the seer
<07200> (8802)_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

him in a prison
<04115>

house
<01004>_;

for [he was] in a rage
<02197>

with him because of this [thing]. And Asa
<0609>

oppressed
<07533> (8762)

[some] of the people
<05971>

the same time
<06256>_.

And, behold, the acts
<01697>

of Asa
<0609>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

lo, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>_.

And Asa
<0609>

in the thirty
<07970>

and ninth
<08672>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04438>

was diseased
<02456> (8799)

in his feet
<07272>_,

until his disease
<02483>

[was] exceeding
<04605>

[great]: yet in his disease
<02483>

he sought
<01875> (8804)

not to the LORD
<03068>_,

but to the physicians
<07495> (8802)_.

And Asa
<0609>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)

in the one
<0259>

and fortieth
<0705>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his own sepulchres
<06913>_,

which he had made
<03738> (8804)

for himself in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

him in the bed
<04904>

which was filled
<04390> (8765)

with sweet odours
<01314>

and divers kinds
<02177>

[of spices] prepared
<07543> (8794)

by the apothecaries
<04842>_'

art
<04639>_:

and they made
<08313> (8799)

a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

burning
<08316>
