H8337
In the six
H7970
and thirtieth
H8141
year
H4438
of the reign
H609
of Asa
H1201
Baasha
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H5927 [H8804]
came
H3063
against Judah
H1129 [H8799]
, and built
H7414
Ramah
H1115
, to the intent that
H5414 [H8800]
he might let
H3318 [H8802]
none go out
H935 [H8802]
or come in
H609
to Asa
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah.
2
H609
Then Asa
H3318 [H8686]
brought
H3701
silver
H2091
and gold
H214
out of the treasuries
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD
H4428
and of the king's
H1004
house
H7971 [H8799]
, and sent
H1130
to Benhadad
H4428
king
H758
of Syria
H3427 [H8802]
, that dwelt
H1834
at Damascus
H559 [H8800]
, saying,
3
H1285
There is a league
H1
between me and thee, as there was between my father
H1
and thy father
H7971 [H8804]
: behold, I have sent
H3701
thee silver
H2091
and gold
H3212 [H8798]
; go
H6565 [H8685]
, break
H1285
thy league
H1201
with Baasha
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H5927 [H8799]
, that he may depart from me.
4
H1130
And Benhadad
H8085 [H8799]
hearkened
H4428
to king
H609
Asa
H7971 [H8799]
, and sent
H8269
the captains
H2428
of his armies
H5892
against the cities
H3478
of Israel
H5221 [H8686]
; and they smote
H5859
Ijon
H1835
, and Dan
H66
, and Abelmaim
H4543
, and all the store
H5892
cities
H5321
of Naphtali.
5
H1201
And it came to pass, when Baasha
H8085 [H8800]
heard
H2308 [H8799]
it, that he stopped
H1129 [H8800]
building
H7414
of Ramah
H4399
, and let his work
H7673 [H8686]
cease.
6
H609
Then Asa
H4428
the king
H3947 [H8804]
took
H3063
all Judah
H5375 [H8799]
; and they carried away
H68
the stones
H7414
of Ramah
H6086
, and the timber
H1201
of it, with which Baasha
H1129 [H8804]
was building
H1129 [H8799]
; and he built
H1387
with it Geba
H4709
and Mizpah.
7
H6256
And at that time
H2607
Hanani
H7200 [H8802]
the seer
H935 [H8804]
came
H609
to Asa
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H8172 [H8736]
to him, Because thou hast relied
H4428
on the king
H758
of Syria
H8172 [H8738]
, and not relied
H3068
on the LORD
H430
thy God
H2428
, therefore hath the host
H4428
of the king
H758
of Syria
H4422 [H8738]
escaped
H3027
out of thy hand.
8
H3569
Were not the Cushites
H3864
and the Lubims
H7230
a huge
H2428
army
H3966
, with very
H7235 [H8687]
many
H7393
chariots
H6571
and horsemen
H8172 [H8736]
? yet, because thou didst rely
H3068
on the LORD
H5414 [H8804]
, he delivered
H3027
them into thy hand.
9
H5869
For the eyes
H3068
of the LORD
H7751 [H8789]
run to and fro
H776
throughout the whole earth
H2388 [H8692]
, to show himself strong
H3824
in the behalf of them whose heart
H8003
is perfect
H5528 [H8738]
toward him. In this thou hast done foolishly
H6258
: therefore from henceforth
H3426
thou shalt have
H4421
wars.
10
H609
Then Asa
H3707 [H8799]
was angry
H7200 [H8802]
with the seer
H5414 [H8799]
, and put
H4115
him in a prison
H1004
house
H2197
; for he was in a rage
H609
with him because of this thing. And Asa
H7533 [H8762]
oppressed
H5971
some of the people
H6256
the same time.
11
H1697
And, behold, the acts
H609
of Asa
H7223
, first
H314
and last
H3789 [H8803]
, lo, they are written
H5612
in the book
H4428
of the kings
H3063
of Judah
H3478
and Israel.
12
H609
And Asa
H7970
in the thirty
H8672
and ninth
H8141
year
H4438
of his reign
H2456 [H8799]
was diseased
H7272
in his feet
H2483
, until his disease
H4605
was very
H2483
grievous: yet in his disease
H1875 [H8804]
he sought
H3068
not to the LORD
H7495 [H8802]
, but to the physicians.
13
H609
And Asa
H7901 [H8799]
slept
H1
with his fathers
H4191 [H8799]
, and died
H259
in the one
H705
and fortieth
H8141
year
H4427 [H8800]
of his reign.
14
H6912 [H8799]
And they buried
H6913
him in his own sepulchres
H3738 [H8804]
, which he had made
H5892
for himself in the city
H1732
of David
H7901 [H8686]
, and laid
H4904
him in the bed
H4390 [H8765]
which was filled
H1314
with sweet odours
H2177
and various kinds
H7543 [H8794]
of spices prepared
H4842
by the perfumers
H4639
' art
H8313 [H8799]
: and they made
H3966
a very
H1419
great
H8316
burning for him.
