Verse 5 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Chronicles. Baasha of Israel fortifies Ramah, and Asa seeks help from Ben-hadad, king of Syria. The king uses resources from the temple and palace to obtain a military alliance. Although he succeeds in stopping Baasha, his strategy introduces a political dependence that will later be criticized by the prophet.

E quando Baasa ebbe ciò inteso, restò d’edificar Rama, e fece cessare il suo lavoro.
E sucedeu que, ouvindo-o Baasa, deixou de edificar a Ramá, e não continuou a sua obra.
巴沙 聽見了,就停工不修築 拉瑪 ,任由他的工程停止。
