    17Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

    18Then Asa took all the silver and gold left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace and placed them into the hands of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, with this message:

    19Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me.

    20Ben-Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinneroth, as well as all the land of Naphtali.

    21When Baasha heard about it, he stopped building Ramah and moved to Tirzah.

    22Then King Asa issued a proclamation to all Judah with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones and timber Baasha had used to fortify Ramah. With these materials King Asa built up Geba in Benjamin and Mizpah.

    23Now the rest of the acts of Asa, all his might, and everything he did, as well as the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But in his old age he suffered from a disease in his feet.

    25Nadab son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
