1 Kings 15:8-24

8And AbijamH38 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

9And in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AsaH609 over JudahH3063. 10And fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaachahH4601, the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53.1 11And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 12And he took awayH5674 the sodomitesH6945 out of the landH776, and removedH5493 all the idolsH1544 that his fathersH1 had madeH6213. 13And also MaachahH4601 his motherH517, even her he removedH5493 from being queenH1377, because she had madeH6213 an idolH4656 in a groveH842; and AsaH609 destroyedH3772 her idolH4656, and burntH8313 it by the brookH5158 KidronH6939.2 14But the high placesH1116 were not removedH5493: nevertheless Asa’sH609 heartH3824 was perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 all his daysH3117. 15And he broughtH935 in the thingsH6944 which his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and the things which himself had dedicatedH6944, into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627.3

16And there was warH4421 between AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 all their daysH3117. 17And BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, that he might not sufferH5414 any to go outH3318 or come inH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 18Then AsaH609 tookH3947 all the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that were leftH3498 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and kingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Ben–hadadH1130, the sonH1121 of TabrimonH2886, the sonH1121 of HezionH2383, kingH4428 of SyriaH758, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 19There is a leagueH1285 between me and thee, and between my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: behold, I have sentH7971 unto thee a presentH7810 of silverH3701 and goldH2091; comeH3212 and breakH6565 thy leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may departH5927 from me.4 20So Ben–hadadH1130 hearkenedH8085 unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of the armiesH2428 which he had against the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and smoteH5221 IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel–beth–maachahH62, and all CinnerothH3672, with all the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321. 21And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he left offH2308 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and dweltH3427 in TirzahH8656. 22Then kingH4428 AsaH609 made a proclamationH8085 throughout all JudahH3063; none was exemptedH5355: and they tookH5375 away the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 had buildedH1129; and kingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 with them GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144, and MizpahH4709.5 23The restH3499 of all the actsH1697 of AsaH609, and all his mightH1369, and all that he didH6213, and the citiesH5892 which he builtH1129, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? Nevertheless in the timeH6256 of his old ageH2209 he was diseasedH2470 in his feetH7272. 24And AsaH609 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.6
