Pacto de Asá con Ben-hadad(A)
16 Pero en el año treinta y seis del reinado de Asá, el rey de Israel, Baasá, fue a atacar a Judá, y fortificó Ramá para cortarle toda comunicación al rey de Judá. 2 Entonces Asá sacó el oro y la plata de los tesoros del templo del Señor y del palacio real, y los envió a Ben-hadad, rey de Siria, que tenía su residencia en Damasco. También le envió este mensaje: 3 «Hagamos tú y yo un pacto, como hicieron nuestros padres. Aquí te envío oro y plata. Rompe el pacto que tienes con Baasá, rey de Israel, y así me dejará en paz.»
4 Ben-hadad aceptó la proposición del rey Asá, y envió a los jefes de sus tropas a atacar las ciudades de Israel. Así conquistaron Iión, Dan, Abel-maim y todas las ciudades de Neftalí que servían de almacenes. 5 Cuando Baasá lo supo, dejó de fortificar Ramá, suspendiendo sus trabajos. 6 Entonces el rey Asá tomó consigo a todo Judá, y se llevaron de Ramá las piedras y la madera que Baasá había usado para fortificarla, y con ellas fortificó Guebá y Mispá.
7 Por aquel tiempo fue el profeta Hananí a visitar a Asá, rey de Judá, y a decirle: «El ejército del rey de Siria se te ha escapado de las manos, porque te apoyaste en el rey de Siria y no en el Señor tu Dios. 8 ¿No formaban los etiopes y los libios un ejército sumamente poderoso, con muchísima caballería y carros de combate? Sin embargo, el Señor los entregó en tus manos porque te apoyaste en él. 9 Pues el Señor está atento a lo que ocurre en todo el mundo, para dar fuerza a los que confían sinceramente en él. ¡En esto has actuado como un tonto! Porque de ahora en adelante tendrás más guerras.»
10 Entonces Asá se enfureció de tal manera contra el profeta, que lo mandó encarcelar. También en ese tiempo trató brutalmente a algunos del pueblo.
Muerte de Asá(B)
11 La historia de Asá, desde el principio hasta el fin, está escrita en el libro de los reyes de Judá y de Israel. 12 En el año treinta y nueve de su reinado, Asá enfermó gravemente de los pies; pero en su enfermedad no recurrió al Señor, sino a los médicos. 13 Murió en el año cuarenta y uno de su reinado, 14 y lo enterraron en el sepulcro que había mandado hacer en la Ciudad de David. Lo colocaron en una camilla llena de perfumes y de toda clase de sustancias aromáticas hábilmente preparadas. Luego encendieron en su honor una enorme hoguera.

Asa’s Last Years(A)(B)
16 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign Baasha(C) king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
2 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.(D) 3 “Let there be a treaty(E) 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.”
4 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim[a] and all the store cities of Naphtali.(F) 5 When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and abandoned his work. 6 Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using. With them he built up Geba and Mizpah.(G)
7 At that time Hanani(H) the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied(I) on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites[b](J) and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers(K) of chariots and horsemen[c]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered(L) them into your hand. 9 For the eyes(M) of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish(N) thing, and from now on you will be at war.(O)”
10 Asa was angry with the seer because of this; he was so enraged that he put him in prison.(P) At the same time Asa brutally oppressed some of the people.
11 The events of Asa’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted(Q) with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek(R) help from the Lord,(S) but only from the physicians. 13 Then in the forty-first year of his reign Asa died and rested with his ancestors. 14 They buried him in the tomb that he had cut out for himself(T) in the City of David. They laid him on a bier covered with spices and various blended perfumes,(U) and they made a huge fire(V) in his honor.

King James Version
16 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.
2 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,
3 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.
4 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.
5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand.
9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 And Asa 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, but to the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.
