Legacy Standard Bible

^17 (A)And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and ^(B)built up Ramah ^(C)in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah. ¹⁸ Then ^(D)Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the treasuries of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And ^(E)King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in ^(F)Damascus, saying, ¹⁹ “Let there be a ^(G)covenant between ^[a]you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me.”
