Parallel
2 Chronicles 16
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ καὶ τριακοστῷ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσὰ ἀνέβη Βαασὰ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Ῥαμὰ τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι ἔξοδον καὶ εἴσοδον τῷ Ἀσὰ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀσὰ χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον ἐκ θησαυρῶν οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ Ἁδὲρ βασιλέως Συρίας τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐν Δαμασκῷ λέγων
So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
Διάθου διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πατρὸς μοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πατρὸς σοῦ· ἰδοὺ ἀπέσταλκά σοι χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον, δεῦρο καὶ διασκέδασον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ τὸν Βαασὰ βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπελθέτω ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
“Let there be a treaty between me and you as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
καὶ ἤκουσεν υἱὸς Ἁδὲρ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσά, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὴν Ἰὼ καὶ τὴν Δανὼ καὶ τὴν Ἀβελμὰν καὶ πάσας τὰς περιχώρους Νεφθαλεί.
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim (note: Abel-maim was also known as Abel-beth-maacah; see 1 Kings 15:20.), and all the store cities of Naphtali.
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι Βαασά, ἀπέλιπεν τοῦ μηκέτι οἰκοδομεῖν τὴν Ῥαμὰ καὶ κατέπαυσεν τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ.
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
καὶ Ἀσὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἔλαβεν πάντα τὸν Ἰουδά, καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς λίθους τῆς Ῥαμὰ καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾠκοδόμησεν Βαασὰ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὴν Γάβαε καὶ τὴν Μασφά.
Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἦλθεν Ἁναμεὶ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Ἀσὰ βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐν τῷ πεποιθέναι σε ἐπὶ βασιλέα Συρίας καὶ μὴ πεποιθέναι σε ἐπὶ Κύριον θεόν σου, διὰ τοῦτο ἐσώθη δύναμις Συρίας ἀπὸ τῆς χειρός σου.
At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
οὐχ οἱ Αἰθίπες καὶ Λίβυες ἦσαν εἰς δύναμιν πολλὴν εἰς θάρσος, εἰς ἱππεῖς εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα; καὶ ἐν τῷ πεποιθέναι σε ἐπὶ Κύριον παρέδωκεν εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.
Were not the Cushites (note: That is, people from the upper Nile region) and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
ὅτι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπιβλέπουσιν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ κατισχῦσαι ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ πλήρει ἐπὶ τοῦ πρὸς αὐτόν. ἠγνόηκας ἐπὶ τούτῳ· ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἔστιν μετὰ σοῦ πόλεμος.
For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ἀσὰ τῷ προφήτῃ, καὶ παρέθετο αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν ἐπὶ τούτῳ· καὶ ἐλυμήνατο Ἀσὰ ἐν τῷ λαῷ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ.
Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ λόγοι Ἀσὰ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι γεγραμμένοι ἐν βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
Now the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
καὶ ἐμαλακίσθη Ἀσὰ ἐν τῷ ἐνάτῳ καὶ τριακοστῷ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ τοὺς πόδας, ἕως σφόδρα ἐμαλακίσθη· καὶ ἐν τῇ μαλακίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐζήτησεν Κύριον ἀλλὰ τοὺς ἰατρούς.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his disease became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀσὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ.
So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ μνήματι ᾧ ὤρυξεν ἑαυτῷ ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ, καὶ ἐκοίμισαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ ἔπλησαν ἀρωμάτων καὶ γένη μύρων μυρεψῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῷ ἐκφορὰν μεγάλην σφόδρα.
And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
