CLV(i)
1 In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa, come up has Baasha king of Israel, against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
2 And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and of the house of the king, and sends unto Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
3 `A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, lo, I have sent to you silver and gold; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he does go up from off me..
4 And Ben-Hadad hearkens unto king Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has unto cities of Israel, and they smite Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
5 And it comes to pass, at Baasha's hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;"
6 and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they bear away the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and he builds with them Geba and Mizpah.
