1 Kings 15:21-23
New English Translation

21 When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying[a] 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.[b] King Asa used the materials to build up[c] Geba (in Benjamin) and Mizpah.

23 The rest of the events of Asa’s reign, including all his successes and accomplishments, as well as a record of the cities he built, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Judah.[d] Yet when he was very old he developed a foot disease.[e]
