1 Kings 15:21-23
Good News Translation
21 When King Baasha heard what had happened, he stopped fortifying Ramah and went to Tirzah.
22 Then King Asa sent out an order throughout all of Judah requiring everyone, without exception, to help carry away from Ramah the stones and timber that Baasha had been using to fortify it. With this material Asa fortified Mizpah and Geba, a city in the territory of Benjamin.
23 Everything else that King Asa did, his brave deeds and the towns he fortified, are all recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah. But in his old age he was crippled by a foot disease.

1 Kings 15:21-23
New International Version
21 When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah(A) and withdrew to Tirzah.(B) 22 Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away from Ramah(C) the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa(D) built up Geba(E) in Benjamin, and also Mizpah.(F)
23 As for all the other events of Asa’s reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased.
