1 Reyes 15:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:19

There is a league between me and thee, and between my
father and thy father
For though Hezion, if he is the same with Rezon, was an adversary to Israel in the days of Solomon, ( 1 Kings 11:25 ) , yet it seems his son was not, but was a confederate with the kings of Israel and Judah:

behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold;
taken out of the treasury of the temple and his own treasury:

come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may
depart from me;
it was sinful in him to take the money out of the temple, to which it was dedicated; it was more so to make use of it to bribe an Heathen to break his covenant and alliance with another, in order to serve him; in which he betrayed great distrust of the Lord, and of his power to help him; which was the more aggravated, when he had had such a wonderful appearance of God for him against the Ethiopians, see ( 2 Chronicles 16:7 2 Chronicles 16:8 ) .

1 Reyes 15:19 In-Context

17 Y subi贸 Baasa rey de Israel contra Jud谩, y edific贸 a Rama, para no dejar salir ni entrar a ninguno de Asa, rey de Jud谩.
18 Entonces tomando Asa toda la plata y oro que hab铆a quedado en los tesoros de la Casa del SE脩OR, y los tesoros de la casa real, los entreg贸 en las manos de sus siervos, y los envi贸 el rey Asa a Ben-adad, hijo de Tabrim贸n, hijo de Hezi贸n, rey de Siria, el cual resid铆a en Damasco, diciendo:
19 Alianza hay entre m铆 y ti, y entre mi padre y el tuyo; he aqu铆 yo te env铆o un presente de plata y oro; ve, y rompe tu alianza con Baasa rey de Israel, para que me deje.
20 Y Ben-adad consinti贸 con el rey Asa, y envi贸 los pr铆ncipes de los ej茅rcitos que ten铆a contra las ciudades de Israel, e hiri贸 a Ij贸n, y a Dan, y a Abel-bet-maaca, y a toda Cineret, con toda la tierra de Neftal铆.
21 Y oyendo esto Baasa, dej贸 de edificar a Ram谩, y se estuvo en Tirsa.
