Context
1Katika mwaka wa thelathini na sita wa utawala wa Asa, Mfalme Baasha wa Israeli akashambulia Yuda na kuweka ngome mji wa Rama ili kumzuia yeyote asitoke wala kuingia nchi ya Mfalme Asa wa Yuda. 2Ndipo Asa akachukua fedha na dhahabu kutoka hazina ya Hekalu la Bwana na kutoka jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme na kumpelekea Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu, ambaye alikuwa anatawala huko Dameski. 3Akasema, “Pawepo na mkataba kati yangu na wewe, kama ulivyokuwepo kati ya baba yangu na baba yako. Tazama, nimekuletea fedha na dhahabu. Sasa vunja mkataba wako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli ili aniondokee mimi.” 4Ben-Hadadi akakubaliana na Mfalme Asa na kutuma majemadari wa majeshi yake dhidi ya miji ya Israeli. Wakashinda Iyoni, Dani, Abel-Maimu na miji yote ya hazina ya Naftali. 5Baasha aliposikia jambo hili, akasimamisha kujenga Rama na kuacha kazi yake.
