11:015:014 But the high places were not removed:
nevertheless Asa’s heart
was
perfect with the lord all his days.
11:015:015 And he brought in the things which his
father had dedicated,
and
the things which himself had dedicated, into the house
of
the
lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.
11:015:016 And there was war between Asa and Baasha
king of Israel all
their
days.
11:015:017 And Baasha king of Israel went up against
Judah, and built
Ramah,
that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to
Asa
king of Judah.
11:015:018 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,
11:015:019 There is a league between me and thee,
and between my father
and
thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present
of
silver
and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king
of
Israel,
that he may depart from me.
11:015:020 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and
sent the captains of
the
hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and
smote
Ijon,
and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with
all
the land of Naphtali.
11:015:021 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard
thereof, that he left
off
building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
11:015:022 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout
all Judah; none
was
exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah,
and the
timber
thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa
built
with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
11:015:023 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all
his might, and all
that
he did, and the cities which he built, are they not
written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Nevertheless
in the time of his old age he was diseased in his
feet.
11:015:024 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was
buried with his
fathers
in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat
his
son
reigned in his stead.
11:015:025 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to
reign over Israel in
the
second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over
Israel
two
years.
11:015:026 And he did evil in the sight of the lord,
and walked in the
way
of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel
to
sin.
11:015:027 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house
of Issachar,
conspired
against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon,
which
belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel
laid
siege to Gibbethon.
