*
And when Ba '
asha heard of it ,
he stopped building Ramah ,
and he dwelt in Tirzah .
*
Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah ,
none was exempt ,
and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber ,
with which Ba '
asha had been building ;
and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah .
*
Now the rest of all the acts of Asa ,
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 ?
But in 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 Jehosh '
aphat his son reigned in his stead .
*
Nadab the son of Jerobo '
am began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah ;
and he reigned over Israel two years .
*
He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
and walked in the way of his father ,
and in his sin which he made Israel to sin .
*
Ba '
asha the son of Ahi '
jah ,
of the house of Is '
sachar ,
conspired against him ;
and Ba '
asha struck him down at Gib '
bethon ,
which belonged to the Philistines ;
for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gib '
bethon .
*
So Ba '
asha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah ,
and reigned in his stead .
*
And as soon as he was king ,
he killed all the house of Jerobo '
am ;
he left to the house of Jerobo '
am not one that breathed ,
until he had destroyed it ,
according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by his servant Ahi '
jah the Shi '
lonite ;
*
it was for the sins of Jerobo '
am which he sinned and which he made Israel to sin ,
and because of the anger to which he provoked the LORD ,
the God of Israel .
*
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 Ba '
asha king of Israel all their days .
*
In the third year of Asa king of Judah ,
Ba '
asha the son of Ahi '
jah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah ,
and reigned twenty-four years .
