2 Chronicles 16:2-9

2Then AsaH609 broughtH3318 silverH3701 and goldH2091 out of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 to BenhadadH1130 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 BenhadadH1130 hearkenedH8085 to kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of his armiesH2428 against the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478; and they smoteH5221 IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and AbelmaimH66, and all the storeH4543 citiesH5892 of NaphtaliH5321.2 5And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 it, that he stoppedH2308 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and let his workH4399 ceaseH7673. 6Then AsaH609 the kingH4428 tookH3947 all JudahH3063; and they carried awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 of it, with which BaashaH1201 was buildingH1129; and he builtH1129 with it GebaH1387 and MizpahH4709.

7And at that timeH6256 HananiH2607 the seerH7200 cameH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 to him, Because thou hast reliedH8172 on the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and not reliedH8172 on the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, therefore hath the hostH2428 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 escapedH4422 out of thy handH3027. 8Were not the CushitesH3569 and the LubimsH3864 a hugeH7230 armyH2428, with veryH3966 manyH7235 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571? yet, because thou didst relyH8172 on the LORDH3068, he deliveredH5414 them into thy handH3027.3 9For the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 run to and froH7751 throughout the whole earthH776, to show himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. In this thou hast done foolishlyH5528: therefore from henceforthH6258 thou shalt haveH3426 warsH4421.4
