14 The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
15 He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
17 And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
