Israel’s King Baasha blockades Judah. Asa forms an alliance with Ben-Hadad of Syria, and together they defeat Baasha and steal from Ramah. The Lord’s prophet Hanani rebukes Asa for depending on Syrians instead of the Lord. He says that war will return to Judah, and Asa became diseased in his feet and sought a physician instead of the lord, which leads to his death.
