V.1 In the six 8337 and thirtieth 7970 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of Asa 609 Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 came up 5927-1 against Judah, 3063 and built 1129-4 Ramah, 7414 to the intent that he might let 5414-2 none 1115 go out 3318-6 or come in 935-6 to Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah. 3063

16:2 Then Asa 609 brought out 3318-55 silver 3701 and gold 2091 out of the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 and of the king's 4428 house, 1004 and sent 7971-4 to Benhadad 1130 king 4428 of Syria, 758 that dwelt 3427-6 at Damascus, 1834 saying, 559-2

16:3 [There is] a league 1285 between me and thee, as [there was] between my father 1 and thy father: 1 behold, I have sent 7971-1 thee silver 3701 and gold; 2091 go, 3212-3 break 6565-54 thy league 1285 with Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 that he may depart 5927-4 from me.

16:4 And Benhadad 1130 hearkened 8085-4 unto king 4428 Asa, 609 and sent 7971-4 the captains 8269 of his armies 2428 against the cities 5892 of Israel; 3478 and they smote 5221- 55 Ijon, 5859 and Dan, 1835 and Abelmaim, 66 and all the store 4543 cities 5892 of Naphtali. 5321

16:5 And it came to pass, when Baasha 1201 heard 8085-2 [it], that he left off 2308-4 building 1129-2 of Ramah, 7414 and let his work 4399 cease. 7673-55

16:6 Then Asa 609 the king 4428 took 3947-1 all Judah; 3063 and they carried away 5375-4 the stones 68 of Ramah, 7414 and the timber 6086 thereof, wherewith Baasha 1201 was building; 1129-1 and he built 1129-4 therewith Geba 1387 and Mizpah. 4709

16:7 And at that time 6256 Hanani 2607 the seer 7200-6 came 935-1 to Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and said 559-4 unto him, Because thou hast relied 8172-9 on the king 4428 of Syria, 758 and not relied 8172-8 on the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 therefore is the host 2428 of the king 4428 of Syria 758 escaped 4422-8 out of thine hand. 3027

16:8 Were not the Ethiopians 3569 and the Lubims 3864 a huge 7230 host, 2428 with very 3966 many 7235-53 chariots 7393 and horsemen? 6571 yet, because thou didst rely 8172-9 on the LORD, 3068 he delivered 5414-1 them into thine hand. 3027

16:9 For the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068 run to and fro 7751- 35 throughout the whole earth, 776 to shew himself strong 2388-99 in the behalf of [them] whose heart 3824 [is] perfect 8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: 5528-8 therefore from henceforth 6258 thou shalt have 3426 wars. 4421

16:10 Then Asa 609 was wroth 3707-4 with the seer, 7200-6 and put 5414-4 him in a prison 4115 house; 1004 for [he was] in a rage 2197 with him because of this [thing]. And Asa 609 oppressed 7533-17 [some] of the people 5971 the same time. 6256

16:11 And, behold, the acts 1697 of Asa, 609 first 7223 and last, 314 lo, they [are] written 3789-7 in the book 5612 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 and Israel. 3478

16:12 And Asa 609 in the thirty 7970 and ninth 8672 year 8141 of his reign 4438 was diseased 2456-4 in his feet, 7272 until his disease 2483 [was] exceeding 4605 [great]: yet in his disease 2483 he sought 1875-1 not to the LORD, 3068 but to the physicians. 7495-6

16:13 And Asa 609 slept 7901-4 with his fathers, 1 and died 4191-4 in the one 259 and fortieth 705 year 8141 of his reign. 4427-2
