"[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." — 2 Chronicles 16:3 (ASV)
There is a league. — Bĕrîth, “covenant.” The verse is the same as 1 Kings 15:19, omitting the word “a present” before “silver and gold,” and making two or three other minute verbal changes.
As. — And.
Depart. — Go up. See the Notes on Kings.
