2 Chronicles 16:6

---

← 2 Chronicles 16:5	2 Chronicles 16:6 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 16:7 →
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.	Then 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.	And 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.
