*
And it came to pass ,
when Baasha heard thereof ,
that he left off building of Ramah ,
and dwelt in Tirzah .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him ,
and reigned in his stead .
*
And it came to pass ,
when he reigned ,
that he smote all the house of Jeroboam ;
he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed ,
until he had destroyed him ,
according unto the saying of the LORD ,
which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite :
*
Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned ,
and which he made Israel sin ,
by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
*
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days .
*
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah ,
twenty and four years .
