1 Kings 15:13-22
1312He alsoH1571 removedH5493 MaacahH4601 his motherH517 from being queenH1377 motherH1377, becauseH834 she had madeH6213 a horridH4656 imageH4656 3as an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 her horridH4656 imageH4656 and 4burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. 145But the highH1116 placesH1116 were not takenH5493 awayH5493; neverthelessH7534 6the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was 7whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117. 158He broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 the dedicatedH6944 thingsH6944 of his fatherH1 and his own dedicatedH6944 thingsH6944: silverH3701 and goldH2091 and utensilsH3627.
169Now there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their daysH3117. 1710BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up againstH5921 JudahH3063 and 1112fortifiedH1129 RamahH7414 13in order to preventH1115H5414 anyone from goingH3318 out or comingH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 18Then 14AsaH609 tookH3947 allH3605 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 which were leftH3498 in the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650. And 15KingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Ben-hadadH1130 the sonH1121 of TabrimmonH2886, the sonH1121 of HezionH2383, kingH4428 of AramH758, who livedH3427 in 16DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 19“Let there be a 17treatyH1285 betweenH996 18you and me, as betweenH996 my fatherH1 and your fatherH1. BeholdH2009, I have sentH7971 you a presentH7810 of silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH1980, breakH6565 your treatyH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 so that he will withdrawH5927 from me.” 20So Ben-hadadH1130 listenedH8085 to KingH4428 AsaH609 and sentH7971 the commandersH8269 of his armiesH2428 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and 19conqueredH5221 20IjonH5859, 21DanH1835, 22Abel-beth-maacahH62 and allH3605 23ChinnerothH3672, besidesH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321. 21When BaashaH1201 heardH8085 of it, 24he ceasedH2308 25fortifyingH1129 RamahH7414 and remainedH3427 in 26TirzahH8656. 22Then KingH4428 AsaH609 madeH8085 a proclamationH8085 to allH3605 JudahH3063--noneH369 was exemptH5355--and they carriedH5375 away the stonesH68 of RamahH7414 and its timberH6086 with whichH834 BaashaH1201 had builtH1129. And KingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 with them 27GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144 and MizpahH4709.
