2 Chronicles 16
16
1In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa [healer; injurious?] Ba’sha [wicked] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came up against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and built Ramah [Hill], to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
2Then Asa [healer; injurious?] brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben [son] -Hadad [son of the (false god) Hadad] king of Aram [exalted] (Syria) [exalted], that dwelt at Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], saying,
3 [There is] a league between me and youi, as [there was] between my father and youi father: behold, I have sent youi silver and gold; go, break youi league with Ba’sha [wicked] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that he may depart from me.
4And Ben [son] -Hadad [son of the (false god) Hadad] listened unto king Asa [healer; injurious?], and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and they struck ‘Iyon [a ruin], and Dan [Judge], and Avel-Mayim [meadow of waters], and all the store cities of Naftali [My Wrestling].
5And it came to pass, when Ba’sha [wicked] heard [it], that he left off building of Ramah [Hill], and let his work cease.
6Then Asa [healer; injurious?] the king took all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; and they carried away the stones of Ramah [Hill], and the timber thereof, which Ba’sha [wicked] was building; and he built with that Geva [hill] and Mitzpah [watchtower].
7And at that time Hanani [gracious] the seer came to Asa [healer; injurious?] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and said unto him, Because youi have relied on the king of Aram [exalted] (Syria) [exalted], and not relied on the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], therefore is the host of the king of Aram [exalted] (Syria) [exalted] escaped out of youi hand.
8Were not the Cushi [Ethiopians] and the Luvim [empty-hearted] a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because youi did rely on the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he delivered them into youri hand.
9For the eyes of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Herein youi have done foolishly: therefore from from this time forth (from now on) youi shall have wars.
10Then Asa [healer; injurious?] was exceedingly angry with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And Asa [healer; injurious?] oppressed [some] of the people the same time.
11And, behold, the acts of Asa [healer; injurious?], first and last, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
12And Asa [healer; injurious?] in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great]: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), but to the physicians.
13And Asa [healer; injurious?] slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David [beloved], and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and diverse kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries’ are: and they made a very great burning for him.
