Асине последње године
16 Тридесет шесте године Асине владавине, израиљски цар Васа је кренуо против Јуде утврдивши Раму, да би спречио свакога да долази или одлази од Асе, цара Јудиног.
2 Тада је Аса узео све сребро и злато што је остало у ризници Дома Господњег и у ризници царског двора, и послао их арамејском цару Вен-Ададу који је пребивао у Дамаску. Поручио му је: 3 „Нека буде савез између мене и тебе, као између мог оца и твог оца. Ево, шаљем ти сребро и злато; дођи и поништи свој савез са Васом, царем израиљским, да би отишао од мене.“
4 Вен-Адад је послушао Асу, па је послао своје војне заповеднике да нападну израиљске градове. Освојио је Ијон, Дан, Авел Вет-Маху, и све градове-складишта у Нефталиму. 5 Кад је то чуо Васа, престао је да утврђује Раму и одустао је од њене изградње. 6 Тада је цар Аса узео све Јудејце, па су однели из Раме камење и дрво, које је Васа употребио за градњу. Он је с њима утврдио Гавају и Миспу.
7 У то време Аси, цару Јуде, дође виделац Хананије и рече му: „Пошто си се ослонио на арамејског цара а не на Господа, Бога свог, побегла ти је из руку војска арамејског цара. 8 Зар ти није Господ, када си се ослонио на њега, предао у руке Кушите и Лувимане, а били су огромна војска, с мноштвом бојних кола и коњаника? 9 Јер Господње очи помно гледају по свој земљи да он покаже своју снагу онима који су му наклоњени целим срцем. Безумно си поступио у овоме. Од сада ћеш стално ратовати.“
10 Аса се разјарио на видеоца и бацио га у тамничке окове, бесан због свега тога. Баш у то време је потлачио још неке од народа.
11 Остала дела Асина, од првог до последњег, зар нису записана у Књизи дневника царева Јуде и Израиља? 12 Тешко су му оболеле ноге тридесет девете године владавине. Ипак, ни у својој болести није тражио Господа него лекаре. 13 Аса се упокојио са својим прецима четрдесет прве године своје владавине. 14 Народ га је сахранио у Давидовом граду, у гроб који је ископао за себе. Положили су га у гробницу коју је он већ испунио разним врстама балзама умешаних у вешто спремљену миомирисну смесу. У његову су част спалили обиље те смесе.
2 Chronicles 16
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.

English Standard Version
Asa's Last Years
16 (A)In the (B)thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah, (C)that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the house of the Lord and the king's house and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying, 3 “There is a covenant[a] between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending to you silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.” 4 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the (D)store cities of Naphtali. 5 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah and let his work cease. 6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building, and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.
7 At that time (E)Hanani (F)the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, (G)“Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. 8 Were not (H)the Ethiopians and (I)the Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet (J)because you relied on the Lord, he gave them into your hand. 9 (K)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those (L)whose heart is blameless[b] toward him. (M)You have done foolishly in this, for from now on (N)you will have wars.” 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him (O)in the stocks in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.
11 (P)The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 They buried him in the tomb that he had cut for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier (Q)that had been filled with various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumer's art, (R)and they made a very great fire in his honor.

Asa’s Treaty with Syria(A)
16 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, (B)Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built Ramah, (C)that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Then Asa brought silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-Hadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying, 3 “Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold; come, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
4 So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali. 5 Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work. 6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.
Hanani’s Message to Asa
7 And at that time (D)Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: (E)“Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. 8 Were (F)the Ethiopians and (G)the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your (H)hand. 9 (I)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this (J)you have done foolishly; therefore from now on (K)you shall have wars.” 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and (L)put him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
Illness and Death of Asa(M)
11 (N)Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he (O)did not seek the Lord, but the physicians.
13 (P)So Asa [a]rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had [b]made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled (Q)with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made (R)a very great burning for him.
