2 Chronicles 16:2-9
2Then AsaH609 broughtH3318 outH3318 silverH3701 and goldH2091 from the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it to Ben-hadadH1130 kingH4428 of AramH758, who livedH3427 in DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 3“A treatyH1285 must be made betweenH996 1you and me, as there was betweenH996 my fatherH1 and your fatherH1. BeholdH2009, I have sentH7971 you silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH1980, breakH6565 your treatyH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 so that he will withdrawH5927 from me.” 4And Ben-hadadH1130 listenedH8085 to KingH4428 AsaH609, and he sentH7971 the commandersH8269 of his armiesH2428 againstH413 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and they 2conqueredH5221 IjonH5859, DanH1835, Abel-maimH66, and allH3605 3the 4storageH4543 citiesH5892 of NaphtaliH5321. 5When BaashaH1201 heardH8085 about it, he stoppedH2308 5fortifyingH1129 RamahH7414 and putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 his workH4399. 6Then KingH4428 AsaH609 broughtH3947 allH3605 JudahH3063, and they carriedH5375 away the stonesH68 of RamahH7414 and its timberH6086 with whichH834 BaashaH1201 had been buildingH1129, and with it he 6fortifiedH1129 GebaH1387 and MizpahH4709.
7At that timeH6256 7HananiH2607 the seerH7203 cameH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and saidH559 to him, “8Because you have reliedH8172 on the kingH4428 of AramH758 and have not reliedH8172 on the LordH3068 your GodH430, for thatH3651 reasonH3651 the armyH2428 of the kingH4428 of AramH758 has escapedH4422 from your handH3027. 8Were not 9the EthiopiansH3569 and the LubimH3864 10an immenseH7230 armyH2428 with veryH3966 manyH7235 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571? Yet 11because you reliedH8172 on the LordH3068, He handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you. 9For 12the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068 roamH7751 throughoutH3605 the earthH776, so that He may stronglyH2388 supportH2388 those 13whose heartH3824 is completelyH8003 His. You have actedH5528 foolishlyH5528 in thisH2088. IndeedH3588, from nowH6258 on you will haveH3426 warsH4421.”
