1 Kings 15:16 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 15:16

14 ^aBut the¹ high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s ^bheart was loyal to the Lord all his days.

15 He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father ^ahad dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.

16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 And ^aBaasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built ^bRamah, ^cthat he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the treasuries of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to ^aBen-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in ^bDamascus, saying,

19 “Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
