362 Chronicles 16:1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha
king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he
might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Then Asa
brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord
and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at
Damascus, saying,
3 There is a league between me and thee, as there
was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and
gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart
from me.
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the
captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon,
and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5 And
it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah,
and let his work cease.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very
many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, he
delivered them into thine hand.
9 For the
eyes of the Lord run to and
fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them
whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
10 Then Asa was wroth
with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him
because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in
the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 And Asa in the thirty
and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was
exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the
physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one
and fortieth year of his reign.
14 And they buried him in his own
sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him
in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices
prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for
him.

of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.

The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
