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,
1 Kings 15:18 — KJV
Ben-hadad. Benhadad I. There was a Benhadad II who was a contemporary of Ahab (ch. 20:1, 34), and a Benhadad III, son of Hazael, who was a contemporary of Jehoash (2 Kings 13:24, 25).
Hezion. Probably the same as, or the father of, Rezon, Solomon’s enemy (ch. 11:23). In the short time from Solomon to Asa, Syria must have become a formidable military power. With the Temple treasures, Asa now sought to purchase the aid of Benhadad against Baasha. An interesting stone monument of a king named Benhadad, identified by some with this king, showing his picture and containing an inscription in Aramaic, was found a few years ago.
