2 CHRONICLES 16:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
'Let there be a league between me and you, as between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending to you silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me' — Asa's proposal (בְרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵינְךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר בֵּין אָבִי וּבֵין אָבִיךָ) appealed to alliance precedent. The incentive: break the alliance with Baasha, forcing his withdrawal.
