In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha 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. 2Ch 15:91Ki 12:271Ki 15:16-222Ch 11:13-172Ch 15:5 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying, 2Ch 28:212Ki 12:182Ki 16:82Ki 18:15 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.” Psa 15:42Ch 18:32Ch 19:22Co 6:162Sa 21:22Ti 3:3Exo 32:21Ezk 17:18-19
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali. 1Ki 15:201Ki 9:192Ch 17:122Ch 8:6Exo 1:11Gen 14:14Jdg 18:28-29Jdg 20:1 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease. Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them. 1Ch 6:601Ki 15:221Sa 10:171Sa 7:62Ch 21:17Isa 10:29Jos 15:38Jos 18:24-26
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand. 1Ki 16:12Ch 19:2Isa 31:1Psa 146:3-62Ch 20:342Ch 32:7-8Eph 1:12-131Ch 5:20 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand. 2Ch 12:32Ch 13:162Ch 14:9-122Ch 16:72Ch 13:18Psa 37:39-40Psa 9:9-10 For the LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.” 1Pe 3:12Pro 15:3Jer 16:17Pro 5:21Psa 34:15Job 34:21Heb 4:13Zec 4:10
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time. 2Ch 18:262Ch 25:162Ch 26:192Sa 11:42Sa 12:132Sa 12:312Sa 24:10-14Act 16:23-24
Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 1Ki 15:23-242Ch 12:152Ch 20:342Ch 25:262Ch 26:222Ch 27:72Ch 32:322Ch 34:18 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the physicians. Jer 17:52Ch 28:22Mrk 5:261Ch 10:142Ch 16:9Job 13:4Mat 9:12Mrk 2:17 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign. 1Ki 15:24 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him. 2Ch 21:19Gen 50:2Jer 34:5Mrk 16:12Ch 35:24Ecc 10:1Exo 30:25-37Isa 22:16
