Chapter 16 In the sixth and thirtieth year
of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel

00:07.620 --> 00:12.700
came up against Judah and built Ramah,
to the intent that he might let none go

00:12.700 --> 00:15.020
out or come into Asa king of Judah.

00:16.000 --> 00:20.020
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out
of the treasures of the house of the Lord

00:20.020 --> 00:25.080
and of the king's house, and sent to
Ben-Hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at

00:25.080 --> 00:29.920
Damascus, saying, There is a league
between me and thee, as there was between

00:29.920 --> 00:31.620
my father and thy father.

00:32.400 --> 00:35.100
Behold, I have sent thee silver and gold.

00:35.720 --> 00:40.620
Go, break thy league with Baasha king of
Israel, that he may depart from me.

00:40.760 --> 00:45.120
And Ben-Hadad hearkened unto king Asa,
and sent the captains of his armies

00:45.120 --> 00:46.520
against the cities of Israel.

00:47.180 --> 00:53.220
And they smote Ijon, and Dan, and
Abelmaim, and all the store cities of

00:53.220 --> 00:53.680
Naphtali.

00:54.440 --> 00:59.760
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it,
that he left off building of Ramah,

01:00.160 --> 01:01.380
and let his work cease.

01:02.160 --> 01:06.880
Then Asa the king took all Judah,
and they carried away the stones of Ramah,

01:07.120 --> 01:12.580
and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha
was building, and he built therewith Geba

01:12.580 --> 01:13.520
and Mizpah.

01:14.780 --> 01:20.100
And at that time Hanani the seer came to
Asa king of Judah, and said unto him,

01:20.100 --> 01:25.960
Because thou hast relied on the king of
Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God,

01:26.480 --> 01:30.860
therefore is the host of the king of Syria
escaped out of thine hand.

01:31.600 --> 01:37.760
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a
huge host, with very many chariots and

01:37.760 --> 01:38.220
horsemen?

01:38.700 --> 01:44.840
Yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord,
he delivered them into thine hand.

01:44.840 --> 01:51.200
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to show

01:51.200 --> 01:56.480
himself strong in the behalf of them whose
heart is perfect toward him.

01:57.240 --> 02:02.680
Herein thou hast done foolishly,
therefore from henceforth thou shalt have

02:02.680 --> 02:03.440
wars.

02:03.780 --> 02:07.300
Then Asa was wroth with the seer,
and put him in a prison house.

02:08.220 --> 02:10.540
For he was in a rage with him because of
this thing.

02:11.320 --> 02:14.100
And Asa oppressed some of the people the
same time.

02:15.040 --> 02:20.440
And behold, the acts of Asa, first and
last, lo, they are written in the book of

02:20.440 --> 02:21.820
the kings of Judah and Israel.

02:22.560 --> 02:26.920
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of
his reign was diseased in his feet,

02:27.500 --> 02:29.460
until his disease was exceeding great.

02:30.220 --> 02:34.620
Yet in his disease he sought not to the
Lord, but to the physicians.

02:35.560 --> 02:39.820
And Asa slept with his fathers,
and died in the one and fortieth year of

02:39.820 --> 02:40.280
his reign.

02:41.200 --> 02:45.100
And they buried him in his own sepulchres,
which he had made for himself from the

02:45.100 --> 02:49.480
city of David, and laid him in the bed
which was filled with sweet odours and

02:49.480 --> 02:53.100
diverse kinds of spices, prepared by the
apothecaries' art.

02:53.740 --> 02:55.740
And they made a very great burning for
him.
