Revised Version 1895
1 Kings 15:13-22
13And also MaacahH4601 his motherH517 he removedH5493 from beingH3772 queenH1377, becauseH834 sheH834 had madeH6213 an abominable imageH4656 for an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 herH3772 imageH4656, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
14But the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117.
15And he broughtH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and the things that himself had dedicatedH6944, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627.
16And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their daysH3117.
17And BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 upH5927 againstH5921 JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, that he might notH1115 suffer anyH5414 to goH3318 outH3318 or comeH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
18Then AsaH609 tookH3947 allH3605 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that were leftH3498 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 them intoH413 the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and kingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Ben-hadadH1130, the sonH1121 of TabrimmonH2886, the sonH1121 of HezionH2383, kingH4428 of SyriaH758, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559,
19There is a leagueH1285 betweenH996 meH7971 and thee, betweenH996 my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: beholdH2009, I have sentH7971 unto thee a presentH7810 of silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH5927, breakH6565 thy leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may departH5927 from meH7971.
20And Ben-hadadH1130 hearkened unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of his armiesH2428 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and smoteH5221 IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel-beth-maacahH62, and allH3605 ChinnerothH3672, with allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321.
21And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he leftH1961 offH853 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and dweltH3427 in TirzahH8656.
22Then kingH4428 AsaH609 madeH3605 a proclamationH8085 unto allH3605 JudahH3063; noneH369 was exempted: and they carriedH5375 awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 had builded; and kingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 therewith GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144, and MizpahH4709.
