And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
19
Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver gifts: come, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
20
And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
21
And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
22
And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
