ASA 1KI 15:8 And Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king. 1KI 15:9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah, 1KI 15:11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done. 1KI 15:13 He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 1KI 15:14 Although he did not remove the high places, Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life. 1KI 15:16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns. 1KI 15:17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah. 1KI 15:18 Asa then took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the LORD'S temple and of his own palace. He entrusted it to his officials and sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus. 1KI 15:20 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah and all Kinnereth in addition to Naphtali. 1KI 15:22 Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah--no one was exempt--and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa built up Geba in Benjamin, and also Mizpah. 1KI 15:23 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. 1KI 15:24 Then Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king. 1KI 15:25 Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 1KI 15:28 Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king. 1KI 15:32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns. 1KI 15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years. 1KI 16:8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years. 1KI 16:10 Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty- seventh year of Asa king of Judah.

All these were brave fighting men. 2CH 14:10 Asa went out to meet him, and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah. 2CH 14:11 Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. O LORD, you are our God; do not let man prevail against you." 2CH 14:12 The LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, 2CH 14:13 and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed before the LORD and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder. 2CH 15:2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 2CH 15:8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD'S temple. 2CH 15:10 They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign. 2CH 15:16 King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 2CH 15:17 Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life. 2CH 15:19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign. 2CH 16:1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah. 2CH 16:2 Asa then took the silver and gold out of the treasuries of the LORD'S temple and of his own palace and sent it to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus. 2CH 16:4 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim and all the store cities of Naphtali. 2CH 16:6 Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using. With them he built up Geba and Mizpah. 2CH 16:7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: "Because you relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 2CH 16:10 Asa was angry with the seer because of this; he was so enraged that he put him in prison. At the same time Asa brutally oppressed some of the people. 2CH 16:11 The events of Asa's reign, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2CH 16:12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet.
