- Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
- Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.
- Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,
- "Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."
- So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali.

- 亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。
- 以色列王巴沙上来要攻击犹大,修筑拉玛,不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。
- 于是亚撒将耶和华殿和王宫府库里所剩下的金银都交在他臣仆手中,打发他们往住大马色的亚兰王希旬的孙子,他伯利们的儿子便哈达那里去,
- 说,你父曾与我父立约,我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送你为礼物,求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约,使他离开我。
- 便哈达听从亚撒王的话,派军长去攻击以色列的城邑。他们就攻破以云,但,亚伯伯玛迦,基尼烈全境,拿弗他利全境。
