015:017 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel:
nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
015:018 He brought into the house of God the things that his father
had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver,
and gold, and vessels.
015:019 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of
the reign of Asa.
016:001 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king
of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might
not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
016:002 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures
of the house of Yahweh and of the king's house, and sent
to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
016:003 [There is] a league between me and you, as [there was] between
my father and your father: behold, I have sent you silver
and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel,
that he may depart from me.
016:004 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his
armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon,
and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
016:005 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off
building Ramah, and let his work cease.
016:006 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones
of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha had built;
and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
016:007 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 have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore is the army
of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.
016:008 Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots
and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because you did rely on Yahweh,
he delivered them into your hand.
016:009 For the eyes of Yahweh run back and forth throughout the whole earth,
to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart
is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly;
for from henceforth you shall have wars.
016:010 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison;
for he was in a rage with him because of this thing.
Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
016:011 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are
written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
016:012 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet;
his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he didn't
seek Yahweh, but to the physicians.
016:013 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth
year of his reign.
016:014 They buried him in his own tombs, which he had hewn out
for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed
