may 2, 961 BC - Asa Turns to Syria
Description:
He takes the gold and silver from his and Jehovah's house and offers it to the king of Syria. He gives it all to Benhadad the king of Syria and tells him to break his treaty with Baasha of Israel.
Benhadad agrees and attacks Baasha which forces Baasha to withdraw from Ramah and defend his land.
Asa then has his people take the military fortifications that Baasha left in Ramah and uses them to build up cities of his own.
