    16There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

    17Baasha 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.

    18Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and King Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,

    19There is a treaty between you and me, and between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

    20So Benhadad listened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

    23The rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, all he did, and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Yet in his old age, he was diseased in his feet.
