1Ki 15:18-19 | MHM | STEP | v. 18–19 : Asa made a mistake during his reign. He took gold and silver from the temple and gave it to Benhadad, king of Syria, as a bribe. He wanted Benhadad to attack Israel and force Baasha to stop building Ramah (1 Kings 15:18-19 ). In doing this, Asa tempted Benhadad to break his agreement with Israel. He also showed a lack of trust in God to solve his problems and used the temple treasures in the wrong way.
