THE SOVEREIGN OF YISRA EL COMES AGAINST YAH HUDAH
In the thirty-sixth year of the sovereigndom of Asa, Basha sovereign of Yisra El ascends against Yah Hudah and builds Ramah, so as not to give anyone to go or come to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah. 2 And Asa brings silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and of the house of the sovereign and sends to Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram who settles at Dammeseq, saying, 3 There is a covenant between me and between you, as between my father and between your father: behold, I send you silver and gold; go break your covenant with Basha sovereign of Yisra El so that he ascends from me. 4 And Ben Hadad hearkens to sovereign Asa and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and they smite Iyon and Dan and Abel Maim and all the storage cities of Naphtali. 5 And so be it, Basha hears, and he ceases building of Ramah and ceases his work. 6 And Asa the sovereign takes all Yah Hudah; and they lift the stones of Ramah and the timber that Basha builds; and with them he builds Geba and Mispeh. 7 And at that time, Hanani the seer comes to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and says to him, Because you lean on the sovereign of Aram and lean not on Yah Veh your Elohim, so the valiant of the sovereign of Aram escapes from your hand. 8 Were not the Kushiy and the Lubiy an abundance of valiant, with a mighty abundance of chariots and cavalry? Yet, because you leaned on Yah Veh he gave them into your hand. 9 As for Yah Veh, - his eyes flit throughout the whole earth, strengthened in behalf of them whose heart is at shalom toward him. Herein you folly: from this time on you have wars. 10 And Asa is vexed with the seer and gives him in a stock house; because of his rage because of this: and at that time, Asa crushes some of the people. 11 And behold, the words of Asa, first and last, behold, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah and Yisra El? 12
THE DEATH OF ASA
And in the thirty-ninth year of his sovereigndom Asa sickens in his feet until his sickness is severe: yet in his sickness he seeks not Yah Veh, but the healers. 13 And Asa lies down with his fathers and dies in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 - entombed in his own tombs, which he dug for himself in the city of David; and lay him in a bed filled with spices - species by species of perfumed ointment: and they burn a mighty great burning for him.
