16:1 In
the
six
and
thirtieth
year
of
the
reign
of
Asa,
Baasha
king
of
Israel
went
up
against
Judah,
and
built
Ramah,
that
he
might
not
suffer
any
one
to
go
out
or
come
in
to
Asa
king
of
Judah.
16:2 Then
Asa
brought
out
silver
and
gold
out
of
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
and
of
the
king's
house,
and
sent
to
Ben-hadad
king
of
Syria,
that
dwelt
at
Damascus,
saying,
16:3 [There
is]
a
league
between
me
and
thee,
as
[there
was]
between
my
father
and
thy
father:
behold,
I
have
sent
thee
silver
and
gold;
go,
break
thy
league
with
Baasha
king
of
Israel,
that
he
may
depart
from
me.
16:4 And
Ben-hadad
hearkened
unto
king
Asa,
and
sent
the
captains
of
his
armies
against
the
cities
of
Israel;
and
they
smote
Ijon,
and
Dan,
and
Abel-maim,
and
all
the
store-cities
of
Naphtali.
16:5 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Baasha
heard
thereof,
that
he
left
off
building
Ramah,
and
let
his
work
cease.
16:6 Then
Asa
the
king
took
all
Judah;
and
they
carried
away
the
stones
of
Ramah,
and
the
timber
thereof,
wherewith
Baasha
had
builded;
and
he
built
therewith
Geba
and
Mizpah.
16:7 And
at
that
time
Hanani
the
seer
came
to
Asa
king
of
Judah,
and
said
unto
him,
Because
thou
hast
relied
on
the
king
of
Syria,
and
hast
not
relied
on
Jehovah
thy
God,
therefore
is
the
host
of
the
king
of
Syria
escaped
out
of
thy
hand.
16:8 Were
not
the
Ethiopians
and
the
Lubim
a
huge
host,
with
chariots
and
horsemen
exceeding
many
yet,
because
thou
didst
rely
on
Jehovah,
he
delivered
them
into
thy
hand.
16:9 For
the
eyes
of
Jehovah
run
to
and
fro
throughout
the
whole
earth,
to
show
himself
strong
in
the
behalf
of
them
whose
heart
is
perfect
toward
him.
Herein
thou
hast
done
foolishly;
for
from
henceforth
thou
shalt
have
wars.
16:10 Then
Asa
was
wroth
with
the
seer,
and
put
him
in
the
prison-house;
for
he
was
in
a
rage
with
him
because
of
this
thing.
And
Asa
oppressed
some
of
the
people
at
the
same
time.
16:11 And,
behold,
the
acts
of
Asa,
first
and
last,
lo,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel.
16:12 And
in
the
thirty
and
ninth
year
of
his
reign
Asa
was
diseased
in
his
feet;
his
disease
was
exceeding
great:
yet
in
his
disease
he
sought
not
to
Jehovah,
but
to
the
physicians.
16:13 And
Asa
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
died
in
the
one
and
fortieth
year
of
his
reign.
16:14 And
they
buried
him
in
his
own
sepulchres,
which
he
had
hewn
out
for
himself
in
the
city
of
David,
and
laid
him
in
the
bed
which
was
filled
with
sweet
odors
and
divers
kinds
[of
spices]
prepared
by
the
perfumers'
art:
and
they
made
a
very
great
burning
for
him.
