2 Chronicles 16:2-9

2Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the king’s house, and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying, 3“Let there be a treaty between 1you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me.” 4So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they 2conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim and all 3the 4store cities of Naphtali. 5When Baasha heard of it, he ceased 5fortifying Ramah and stopped his work. 6Then King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and with them he 6fortified Geba and Mizpah.

7At that time 7Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “8Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. 8Were not 9the Ethiopians and the Lubim 10an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet 11because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. 9For 12the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those 13whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.”
