1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah , and built Ramah , to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah  2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house , and sent to Benhadad king of Syria , that dwelt at Damascus , saying  3 [There is] a league between me and you, as [there was] between my father and your father : see, I have sent you silver and gold ; go , break your league with Baasha king of Israel , that he may depart  4 And Benhadad listened to king Asa , and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel ; and they smote Ijon , and Dan , and Abelmaim , and all the store cities of Naphtali  5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he left off building of Ramah , and let his work cease  6 Then Asa the king took all Judah ; and they carried away the stones of Ramah , and the timber of it, with which Baasha was building ; and he built with it Geba and Mizpah  7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah , and said to him, Because you have relied on the king of Syria , and not relied on the LORD your God , therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand  8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host , with very many chariots and horsemen ? yet, because you did rely on the LORD , he delivered them into your hand  9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth , to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Here is you have done foolishly : therefore from now on you will have wars  10 Then Asa was angry with the seer , and put him in a prison house ; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same time  11 And, see, the acts of Asa , first and last , lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel  12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet , until his disease [was] exceeding [great]: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD , but to the physicians  13 And Asa slept with his fathers , and died in the one and forties year of his reign  14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres , which he had made for himself in the city of David , and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries ' are : and they made a very great burning
