2 Chronicles 16:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶ Then King Asa called out all the men of Judah to carry away the building stones and timbers that Baasha had been using to fortify Ramah. Asa used these materials to fortify the towns of Geba and Mizpah.

⁷ At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram instead of in the Lord your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of Aram. ⁸ Don’t you remember what happened to the Ethiopians^[a] and Libyans and their vast army, with all of their chariots and charioteers?^[b] At that time you relied on the Lord, and he handed them over to you.
