    8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

    9¶ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

    10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

    11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.

    12And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

    13And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

    14But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the Lord all his days.

    15And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.

    16¶ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

    17And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

    18Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

    19There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

    20So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

    21And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

    22Then 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.

    23The 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.

    24And 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.
