1 Kings 15:20-22
New English Translation

20 Ben Hadad accepted King Asa’s offer and ordered his army commanders to attack the cities of Israel.[a] They conquered[b] Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, and all the territory of Naphtali, including the region of Kinnereth.[c] 21 When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying[d] Ramah and settled down in Tirzah. 22 King Asa ordered all the men of Judah (no exemptions were granted) to carry away the stones and wood that Baasha had used to build Ramah.[e] King Asa used the materials to build up[f] Geba (in Benjamin) and Mizpah.
