- 亚撒三十六年,以色列王巴沙上来攻击犹大,修筑拉玛,不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。
- 于是亚撒从耶和华殿和王宫的府库里拿出金银来,送与住大马色的亚兰王便哈达,说,
- 你父曾与我父立约,我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送给你,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,亚伯玛音,和拿弗他利一切的积货城。
- 巴沙听见就停工,不修筑拉玛了。

- In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
- Asa then took the silver and gold out of the treasuries of the LORD's temple and of his own palace and sent it to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus.
- "Let there be a treaty between me and you," he said, "as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me."
- Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim and all the store cities of Naphtali.
- When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and abandoned his work.
