2 Chronicles 16:1-5

1In the sixH8337 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609 BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 against JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, to the intent thatH1115 he might letH5414 none go outH3318 or come inH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.

2Then AsaH609 brought outH3318 silverH3701 and goldH2091 out of the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 and of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 to Ben–hadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559,1

3There is a leagueH1285 between me and thee, as there was between my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: behold, I have sentH7971 thee silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH3212, breakH6565 thy leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may departH5927 from me.

4And Ben–hadadH1130 hearkenedH8085 unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of his armiesH2428 against the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478; and they smoteH5221 IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel–maimH66, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892 of NaphtaliH5321.2

5And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 it, that he left offH2308 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and let his workH4399 ceaseH7673.
