- 1In 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.בִּשְׁנַ֨ת שְׁלֹשִׁ֤ים וָשֵׁשׁ֙ לְמַלְכ֣וּת אָסָ֔א עָלָ֞ה בַּעְשָׁ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַל יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּ֖בֶן אֶת הָרָמָ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת יוֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה
- 2Then 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,וַיֹּצֵ֨א אָסָ֜א כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֗ב מֵאֹֽצְר֛וֹת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה וּבֵ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַ֗ח אֶל הֲדַד֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם הַיּוֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּדַרְמֶ֖שֶׂק לֵאמֹֽר
- 3There 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.בְּרִית֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ וּבֵ֥ין אָבִ֖י וּבֵ֣ין אָבִ֑יךָ הִנֵּ֨ה שָׁלַ֤חְתִּֽי כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֔ב לֵ֞ךְ הָפֵ֣ר בְּרִֽיתְךָ֗ אֶת בַּעְשָׁא֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְיַעֲלֶ֖ה מֵעָלָֽי
- 4And 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.וַיִּשְׁמַ֨ע הֲדַ֜ד אֶל הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֗א וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח אֶת שָׂרֵ֨י הַחֲיָלִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר אֶל עָרֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת עִיּ֣וֹן וְאֶת דָּ֔ן וְאֵ֖ת מָ֑יִם וְאֵ֥ת כָּֽל מִסְכְּנ֖וֹת עָרֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִֽי
- 5And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.וַיְהִי֙ כִּשְׁמֹ֣עַ בַּעְשָׁ֔א וַיֶּחְדַּ֕ל מִבְּנ֖וֹת אֶת הָרָמָ֑ה וַיַּשְׁבֵּ֖ת אֶת מְלַאכְתּֽוֹ
- 6Then 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.וְאָסָ֣א הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ לָקַח֙ אֶת כָּל יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּשְׂא֞וּ אֶת אַבְנֵ֤י הָֽרָמָה֙ וְאֶת עֵצֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּעְשָׁ֑א וַיִּ֣בֶן אֶת גֶּ֖בַע וְאֶת הַמִּצְפָּֽה
- 7And 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.וּבָעֵ֣ת הַהִ֗יא בָּ֚א חֲנָ֣נִי הָרֹאֶ֔ה אֶל אָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֗יו בְּהִשָּׁ֨עֶנְךָ֜ עַל מֶ֤לֶךְ אֲרָם֙ וְלֹ֤א נִשְׁעַ֨נְתָּ֙ עַל יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ עַל כֵּ֗ן נִמְלַ֛ט חֵ֥יל מֶֽלֶךְ אֲרָ֖ם מִיָּדֶֽךָ
- 8Were 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.הֲלֹ֧א הַכּוּשִׁ֣ים וְהַלּוּבִ֗ים הָי֨וּ לְחַ֧יִל לָרֹ֛ב לְרֶ֥כֶב וּלְפָרָשִׁ֖ים לְהַרְבֵּ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וּבְהִשָּֽׁעֶנְךָ֥ עַל יְהוָ֖ה נְתָנָ֥ם בְּיָדֶֽךָ
- 9For 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.כִּ֣י יְהוָ֗ה עֵינָ֞יו מְשֹׁטְט֤וֹת בְּכָל הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ לְ֠הִתְחַזֵּק עִם לְבָבָ֥ם שָׁלֵ֛ם אֵלָ֖יו נִסְכַּ֣לְתָּ עַל זֹ֑את כִּ֣י מֵעַ֔תָּה יֵ֥שׁ עִמְּךָ֖ מִלְחָמֽוֹת
- 10Then 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.וַיִּכְעַ֨ס אָסָ֜א אֶל הָרֹאֶ֗ה וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֨הוּ֙ בֵּ֣ית הַמַּהְפֶּ֔כֶת כִּֽי בְזַ֥עַף עִמּ֖וֹ עַל זֹ֑את וַיְרַצֵּ֥ץ אָסָ֛א מִן הָעָ֖ם בָּעֵ֥ת הַהִֽיא
- 11And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.וְהִנֵּה֙ דִּבְרֵ֣י אָסָ֔א הָרִאשׁוֹנִ֖ים וְהָאַחֲרוֹנִ֑ים הִנָּ֤ם כְּתוּבִים֙ עַל סֵ֣פֶר הַמְּלָכִ֔ים לִיהוּדָ֖ה וְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל
- 12And 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.וַיֶּחֱלֶ֣א אָסָ֡א בִּשְׁנַת֩ שְׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים וָתֵ֤שַׁע לְמַלְכוּתוֹ֙ בְּרַגְלָ֔יו עַד לְמַ֖עְלָה חָלְי֑וֹ וְגַם בְּחָלְיוֹ֙ לֹא דָרַ֣שׁ אֶת יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֖י בָּרֹפְאִֽים
- 13And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אָסָ֖א עִם אֲבֹתָ֑יו וַיָּ֕מָת בִּשְׁנַ֛ת אַרְבָּעִ֥ים וְאַחַ֖ת לְמָלְכֽוֹ
- 14And 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.וַיִּקְבְּרֻ֣הוּ בְקִבְרֹתָ֗יו אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּֽרָה בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִיד֒ וַיַּשְׁכִּיבֻ֗הוּ בַּמִּשְׁכָּב֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר מִלֵּא֙ בְּשָׂמִ֣ים וּזְנִ֔ים מְרֻקָּחִ֖ים בְּמִרְקַ֣חַת מַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ שְׂרֵפָ֖ה גְּדוֹלָ֥ה עַד לִמְאֹֽד

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
