    16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.

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

    18 Then 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:

    19 Let 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.

    20 Ben-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.

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

    22 Then 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.

    23 Now 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.

    1 The word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:

    2 Because I raised you up from the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, but you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and led My people Israel into sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins,

    3 behold, I will sweep away Baasha and his family, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat.

    4 Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.

    5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

    6 Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. And his son Elah reigned in his place.

    7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he destroyed it.

    8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned for two years.
