- 亞撒三十六年、以色列王巴沙上來攻擊猶大、修築拉瑪不許人從猶大王亞撒那裡出入。
- 於是亞撒從耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裡、拿出金銀來、送與住大馬色的亞蘭王便哈達、說、
- 你父曾與我父立約、我與你也要立約.現在我將金銀送給你.求你廢掉你與以色列王巴沙所立的約、使他離開我。
- 便哈達聽從亞撒王的話、派軍長去攻擊以色列的城邑.他們就攻破以雲、但、亞伯瑪音、和拿弗他利一切的積貨城。
- 巴沙聽見就停工、不修築拉瑪了。

- In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
- Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
- There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
- And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
- And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
