1 Reyes 15:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 15:20

So Benhadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the captains of
the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel
He broke off his alliance with the king of Israel; and as he had a standing army, with proper officers, he sent them directly to take the cities of Israel:

and he smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth,
with all the land of Naphtali;
places which lay on the northern part of Israel, the nearest to Syria. Ijon some place in the tribe of Naphtali, others in Asher; it seems to be on the extreme border of the land northward, as Dan also was; hence the phrase from Dan to Beersheba, i.e. from north to south. Abelbethmaachah is the same with Abelmaim, ( 2 Chronicles 16:4 ) which perhaps is the same with that Abela, placed by Jerome

Cinneroth is the same with Gennesaret, a fruitful country in Galilee, from which is a sea or lake of that name, mentioned in the New Testament, and was in the tribe of Naphtali, the land of which was seized upon at this time.

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.
22 Entonces el rey Asa convoc贸 a todo Jud谩, sin exceptuar ninguno; y quitaron de Ram谩 la piedra y la madera con que Baasa edificaba, y edific贸 el rey Asa con ello a Geba de Benjam铆n, y a Mizpa.
