He sent them to Damascus to Aram's King Benhadad. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>He said, "There's a treaty between you and me [as] there was between your father and my father. I'm sending you silver and gold. Now break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel so that he will leave me alone." <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Benhadad did what King Asa requested. He sent his generals and their armies to attack the cities of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities in the territory of Naphtali. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work on it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then King Asa took everyone in Judah [to Ramah]. He made them carry the stones and lumber from Ramah. Baasha had been using those to fortify the city. Asa used the materials to fortify Geba in Benjamin and Mizpah.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>At that time the seer Hanani came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, "Because you depended on the king of Syria and did not depend on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped your grasp. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Weren't the Sudanese and Libyans a large army with many chariots and drivers? But when you depended on the LORD, he handed them over to you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>The LORD's eyes scan the whole world to find those whose hearts are committed to him and to strengthen them. You acted foolishly in this matter. So from now on, you will have to fight wars." <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Asa was furious at the seer. He was so angry with Hanani that he put Hanani in prison. Asa also oppressed some of the people at that time in his reign.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Everything about Asa from first to last is written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa got a foot disease that became progressively worse. Instead of asking the LORD for help, he went to doctors. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Asa lay down in death with his ancestors. He died in the forty-first year of his reign. <span class="reftext"><a href="/2_chronicles/16-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>They buried him in the tomb that he had prepared for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bed full of spices and blended perfumes. And they burned a bonfire in his honor.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
