16And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 17Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah, so as not to let anyone go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 18Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasuries of the house of YHWH and the treasuries of the house of the king, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying, 19“Let there be a covenant between me and you, as between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you a bribe of silver and gold; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.” 20Ben-hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of the troops that he had against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 21And it happened when Baasha heard it that he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah. 22Then King Asa summoned all Judah, none exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building; and King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

Look, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.” 4Ben-hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of the forces that he had against the cities of Israel, and they struck Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim and all the storehouses of the cities of Naphtali. 5And it happened when Baasha heard it that he stopped building Ramah and halted his work. 6And Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building; and he built with them Geba and Mizpah.
