note
Agaynst the king of Israel, king Asa procureth helpe of the Assyrians, 7.
which a prophet reprouing is put in fetters. 11. Asa dieth, with
disease of his feete, and is buried with pompe.
1 And in the six and thirteth yeare of his reigne, came vp
Baasa the king of Israel into Iuda, and with a wall compassed
Rama, that none could safely goe out and come in of
the kingdom of Asa.
2 Asa therfore brought forth siluer
and gold, out of the treasures house of our Lord, and of the
kinges treasures, and he sent to Benadad the king of Syria,
who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
3 There is league betwen
me & thee, my father also and thy father had concord, wherfore
I haue sent thee siluer and gold, that breaking the league,
which thou hast with Baasa the king of Israel, thou make
him retire from me.
4 Which being knowen, Benadad sent
the princes of his hostes to the cities of Israel: who stroke
Ahion, and Dan, and Ablemaim, and al the walled cities of
Nephthali.
5 which when Baasa had heard, he ceased to build

Rama, and intermitted his worke.
6 Moreouer Asa the king
tooke al Iuda, and caried away the stones out of Rama, and
the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he
built of them Gabaa, & Maspha.
7 At that time came Hanani
the prophete to Asa the king of Iuda, and sayd to him: Because
thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not
in our Lord thy God, therfore hath the armie of the king of
Syria escaped out of thy hand.
8 Were not the Æthiopians,
and Libyians manie moe in chariotes, and horsemen, and a
multitude exceding great: whom, when thou didst beleue in
our Lord, he deliuered into thy hand?
9 For the eies of our
Lord behold al the earth, and geue strength to them, that
with perfect hart beleue in him. Thou therfore hast done
foolyshly, & for this cause from this present time shal battels
arise agaynst thee.
10 And Asa being angrie agaynst the Seer,
commanded him to be cast into fetters: for he tooke indignation
excedingly vpon this thing: and he slewe of the
people at that time verie manie.
11 But the workes of Asa the
first & the last are writen in the Booke of the kinges of Iuda
and Israel.
12 Asa also fel sicke in the nine and thirteth yeare
of his reigne, of a most vehement note payne of his feete, and
neither in his infirmitie did he seeke our Lord, but rather
trusted in the arte of Phisitians.
13 And he slept with his
fathers: and he died the one and fourteth yeare of his reigne.
14 And they buried him in his sepulchre, which he had digged
for himself in the Citie of Dauid: and they layd him vpon his
bed ful of spices and odoriferous oyntementes, which were
made by the arte of apothecaries, and they burnt it ouer
him with exceding ambition.
