2 Chronicles 16

1In the sixH8337 and thirtieth yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609, BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 up against JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, that he might not suffer any one to goH3318 out or comeH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 2Then AsaH609 broughtH3318 out silverH3701 and goldH2091 out of the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah and of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 to Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of Syria, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 3There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: behold, I have sentH7971 thee silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH5927, breakH6565 thy league with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may depart from me. 4And Ben-hadadH1130 hearkened unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captains of his armiesH2428 against the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478; and they smote IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of NaphtaliH5321. 5And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he left off buildingH1129 RamahH7414, and let his workH4399 ceaseH2308. 6Then AsaH609 the kingH4428 tookH3947 all JudahH3063; and they carriedH5375 awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timber thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 had builded; and he builtH1129 therewith GebaH1387 and MizpahH4709.

7And at that timeH6256 HananiH2607 the seer cameH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto him, Because thou hast relied on the kingH4428 of Syria, and hast not relied on Jehovah thy GodH430, thereforeH3651 is the host of the kingH4428 of Syria escapedH4422 out of thy handH3027. 8WereH1961 not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy handH3027. 9For the eyesH5869 of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earthH776, to showH2388 himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishlyH5528; for from henceforth thou shalt have warsH4421. 10Then AsaH609 was wroth with the seer, and putH5414 him in the prison-house; for he was in a rageH2197 with him because of this thing. And AsaH609 oppressed some of the peopleH5971 at the same timeH6256.

11And, behold, the acts of AsaH609, firstH7223 and lastH314, lo, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. 12And in the thirtyH7970 and ninth yearH8141 of his reignH4438 AsaH609 was diseased in his feetH7272; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he soughtH1875 not to Jehovah, but to the physiciansH7495. 13And AsaH609 slept with his fathersH1, and diedH4191 in the oneH259 and fortieth yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 14And they buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and laidH7901 him in the bedH4904 which was filledH4390 with sweet odors and divers kindsH2177 of spicesH1314 prepared by the perfumers’ art: and they made a veryH3966 greatH1419 burningH8316 for him.
