1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s rule, King Baashaof Israel invaded Judah and captured the town of Ramah. He started making the town stronger, and he put troops there to stop people from going in and out of Judah.
2 When Asaheard about this, he took the silver and gold from his palace and from the Lord's temple. Then he sent it to Damascuswith this message for King Benhadad of Syria: 3 "I think we should sign a peace treaty, just as our fathers did. This silver and gold is a present for you. Would you please break your treaty with King Baashaof Israel and force him to leave my country?"
4 Benhadad did what Asaasked and sent the Syrian army into Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-Maim,16.4 Abel-Maim: Also called "Abel-Bethmaacah" (see 1 Kings 15.20).and all the towns in Naphtali where supplies were kept. 5 When Baashaheard about it, he stopped his work on the town of Ramah.
6 Asaordered everyone in Judah to carry away the stones and wood Baashahad used to fortify Ramah. Then he fortified the towns of Gebaand Mizpahwith these same stones and wood.
Hanani the Prophet Condemns Asa
7 Soon after that happened, Hananithe prophet went to Asaand said:
You depended on the king of Syriainstead of depending on the Lordyour God. And so, you will never defeat the Syrian army. 8 Remember how powerful the Ethiopian16.8 Ethiopian: See the note at 12.3.and Libyan army was, with all their chariots and cavalry troops! You trusted the Lordto help you then, and you defeated them. 9 The Lordis constantly watching everyone, and he gives strength to those who faithfully obey him. But you have done a foolish thing, and your kingdom will never be at peace again.
10 When Asaheard this, he was so angry that he put Hanani in prison. Asawas also cruel to some of his people.16.10 Asa was also cruel … people: Or "Asa also started being cruel to some of his people."
11 Everything Asadid while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, he got a very bad foot disease, but he relied on doctors and refused to ask the Lordfor help. 13 He died two years later.
14 Earlier, Asa had his own tomb cut out of a rock hill in Jerusalem. So he was buried there, and the tomb was filled with spices and sweet-smelling oils. Then the people built a bonfire in his honor.
