2 Chronicles 16:1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, King Baasha of Israel invaded Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from entering or leaving King Asa's territory in Judah.
2 Asa responded by removing the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Temple of the LORD and the royal palace. He sent it to King Ben-hadad of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus, along with this message:
3 "Let there be a treaty between you and me like the one between your father and my father. See, I am sending you silver and gold. Break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel so that he will leave me alone."
4 Ben-hadad agreed to King Asa's request and sent the commanders of his army to attack the towns of Israel. They conquered the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all the store cities in Naphtali.
5 As soon as Baasha of Israel heard what was happening, he abandoned his project of fortifying Ramah and stopped all work on it.
6 Then King Asa called out all the men of Judah to carry away the building stones and timbers that Baasha had been using to fortify Ramah. Asa used these materials to fortify the towns of Geba and Mizpah.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa and told him, "Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram instead of in the LORD your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of Aram.
8 Don't you remember what happened to the Ethiopians and Libyans and their vast army, with all of their chariots and charioteers? At that time you relied on the LORD, and he handed them over to you.
9 The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war."
10 Asa became so angry with Hanani for saying this that he threw him into prison and put him in stocks. At that time Asa also began to oppress some of his people.
11 The rest of the events of Asa's reign, from beginning to end, are recorded in The Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa developed a serious foot disease. Yet even with the severity of his disease, he did not seek the LORD's help but turned only to his physicians.
13 So he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 He was buried in the tomb he had carved out for himself in the City of David. He was laid on a bed perfumed with sweet spices and fragrant ointments, and the people built a huge funeral fire in his honor.
1 In the six H8337 and thirtieth H7970 MMP year H8141 B-CFS of the reign H4438 of Asa H609 Baasha H1201 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 came up H5927 against H5921 PREP Judah H3063 , and built H1129 W-VQY3MS Ramah H7414 , to the intent that he might let H5414 VQFC none H1115 L-NPAR go out H3318 or come in H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 .
2 Then Asa H609 brought out H3318 W-VHY3MS silver H3701 NMS and gold H2091 out of the treasures H214 of the house H1004 W-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS and of the king H4428 NMS \'s house H1004 W-NMS , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ben H1130 - hadad king H4428 NMS of Syria H758 EMS , that dwelt H3427 at Damascus H1834 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
3 There is a league H1285 NFS between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and thee , as there was between H996 W-PREP my father H1 NMS and thy father H1 NMS : behold H2009 IJEC , I have sent H7971 thee silver H3701 NMS and gold H2091 ; go H1980 VQI2MS , break H6565 thy league H1285 with H854 PREP Baasha H1201 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , that he may depart H5927 from me .
4 And Ben H1130 - hadad hearkened H8085 unto H413 PREP king H4428 D-NMS Asa H609 , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS the captains H8269 CMP of his H834 RPRO armies H2428 against H413 PREP the cities H5892 of Israel H3478 ; and they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP Ijon H5859 , and Dan H1835 , and Abel H66 - maim , and all H3605 CMS the store H4543 cities H5892 of Naphtali H5321 .
5 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Baasha H1201 heard H8085 it , that he left off H2308 building H1129 of Ramah H7414 , and let his work H4399 cease H7673 .
6 Then Asa H609 the king H4428 D-NMS took H3947 VQQ3MS all H3605 NMS Judah H3063 ; and they carried away H5375 W-VQY3MP the stones H68 CMP of Ramah H7414 , and the timber H6086 thereof , wherewith H834 RPRO Baasha H1201 was building H1129 VQQ3MS ; and he built H1129 W-VQY3MS therewith Geba H1387 and Mizpah H4709 .
7 And at that H1931 time H6256 Hanani H2607 the seer H7203 came H935 VQPMS to H413 PREP Asa H609 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Because thou hast relied H8172 on H5921 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Syria H758 EMS , and not H3808 W-NPAR relied H8172 on H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS , therefore H3651 ADV is the host H2428 of the king H4428 NMS of Syria H758 EMS escaped H4422 out of thine hand H3027 GFS-2MS .
8 Were H1961 VQQ3MP not H3808 I-NADV the Ethiopians H3569 and the Lubims H3864 a huge H7230 LD-NMS host H2428 , with very H3966 ADV many H7235 chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 ? yet , because thou didst rely H8172 on H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , he delivered H5414 them into thine hand H3027 .
9 For H3588 CONJ the eyes H5869 CMD-3MS of the LORD H3068 EDS run to and fro H7751 throughout the whole H3605 B-CMS earth H776 D-GFS , to show himself strong H2388 in the behalf of H5973 PREP them whose heart H3824 is perfect H8003 toward H413 PREP-3MS him . Herein H5921 PREP thou hast done foolishly H5528 : therefore H3588 CONJ from henceforth H6258 thou shalt have H3426 PART wars H4421 .
10 Then Asa H609 was wroth H3707 with H413 PREP the seer H7203 , and put H5414 him in a prison H4115 house H1004 CMS ; for H3588 CONJ he was in a rage H2197 with H5973 PREP-3MS him because of H5921 PREP this H2063 DPRO thing . And Asa H609 oppressed H7533 some of H4480 PREP the people H5971 the same H1931 time H6256 .
11 And , behold H2009 IJEC , the acts H1697 CMP of Asa H609 , first H7223 and last H314 , lo H2009 IJEC , they are written H3789 in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 .
12 And Asa H609 in the thirty H7970 and ninth H8672 year H8141 B-CFS of his reign H4438 was diseased H2456 in his feet H7272 B-CFD-3MS , until H5704 PREP his disease H2483 was exceeding H4605 great : yet H1571 W-CONJ in his disease H2483 he sought H1875 not H3808 NADV to the LORD H3068 EDS , but H3588 CONJ to the physicians H7495 .
13 And Asa H609 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and died H4191 W-VQY3MS in the one H259 and fortieth H705 MMP year H8141 B-CFS of his reign H4427 .
14 And they buried H6912 him in his own sepulchers H6913 , which H834 RPRO he had made H3738 for himself in the city H5892 of David H1732 , and laid H7901 him in the bed H4904 which H834 RPRO was filled H4390 VPQ3MS with sweet odors H1314 and divers kinds H2177 of spices prepared by the apothecaries\' art H7543 : and they made H8313 a very H5704 PREP great H1419 AMS-3FS burning H8316 for him .
