Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
Entonces Asa tomó toda la plata y el oro que quedaba en los tesoros del templo del SEÑOR y del palacio real, y se los dio a sus siervos. El rey Asa los envió a Ben-adad, hijo de Tabrimón y nieto de Hezión, que era rey de Siria y vivía en Damasco, con este mensaje:
Asa envió todos los tesoros del templo y del palacio como regalo al rey de Siria para pedirle ayuda.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the divided kingdom period after Solomon's death, King Asa ruled Judah and faced ongoing threats from the northern kingdom of Israel under King Baasha. Asa, who had previously promoted religious reforms to honor God, chose to send valuable treasures from the temple and his own palace to Benhadad, the king of Syria, as a bribe to form an alliance against Israel. This reflects the common ancient Near Eastern practice of using wealth to secure political alliances amid regional conflicts.
