1 Kings 15:13-22

13And evenH1571 his motherH517 MaacahH4601, 1he also removedH5493 her from the position of queenH1377 motherH1377, becauseH834 she had madeH6213 an abominableH4656 imageH4656 2as an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 her abominableH4656 imageH4656 and 3burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. 144But the highH1116 placesH1116 5were not eliminatedH5493; neverthelessH7534 6Asa’sH609 heartH3824 was 7whollyH8003 devotedH8003 to the LordH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117. 15And 8he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 the 9holyH6944 giftsH6944 of his fatherH1 and his own 10holyH6944 giftsH6944: silverH3701, goldH2091, and valuable utensilsH3627.

1611Now there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their daysH3117. 1712BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 marchedH5927 againstH5921 JudahH3063 and 1314fortifiedH1129 RamahH7414 15in order to preventH1115H5414 anyone from goingH3318 outH3318 or comingH935 inH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 18Then 16AsaH609 tookH3947 allH3605 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that was leftH3498 in the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and handedH5414H3027 it overH5414 to his servantsH5650. And 17KingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Ben-hadadH1130 the sonH1121 of TabrimmonH2886, the sonH1121 of HezionH2383, kingH4428 of AramH758, who livedH3427 in 18DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 19“Let’s make a 19treatyH1285 betweenH996 20you and me, as there was betweenH996 my fatherH1 and your fatherH1. BeholdH2009, I have sentH7971 you a giftH7810 of silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH1980, breakH6565 your treatyH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 so that he will withdrawH5927 from me.” 20So Ben-hadadH1130 listenedH8085 to KingH4428 AsaH609 and sentH7971 the commandersH8269 of his armiesH2428 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and 21conqueredH5221 22IjonH5859, 23DanH1835, 24Abel-beth-maacahH62, and allH3605 25ChinnerothH3672, besidesH5921 allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321. 21When BaashaH1201 heardH8085 about it, 26he stoppedH2308 27fortifyingH1129 RamahH7414 and remainedH3427 in 28TirzahH8656. 22Then KingH4428 AsaH609 madeH8085 aH8085 proclamationH8085 to allH3605 JudahH3063--noH369 oneH369 was exemptH5355--and they carriedH5375 away the stonesH68 of RamahH7414 and its timberH6086 with whichH834 BaashaH1201 had builtH1129 fortifications. And KingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 with them 29GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144 and MizpahH4709.
