Melachim I 15:15-24 מלכים א ט״ו:ט״ו-כ״ד

He brought his father’s sacred things , and his own sacred items to the House of Adonoy, [consisting of] silver, gold and vessels.

There was war between Asa and between Bashah, king of Yisroel all their days.

Bashah, king of Yisroel went up against Yehudah, and he built a high tower, to prevent anyone from going out or from coming in to Asa, king of Yehudah.

And Asa took all the silver and gold, that remained in the treasuries of the House of Adonoy, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave them into the hands of his servants. And king Asa sent them [his servants] to Ben Haddad, the son of Tavrimon, the son Chezyon, king of Arom, who lived in Damascus, saying,

“There is a covenant between me and you, between my father and between your father. Behold, I have sent you a bribe of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Bashah, king of Yisroel, so that he will have to depart from me.”

And Ben Haddad listened to king Asa, and sent the officers of his armies against the cities of Yisroel and struck Eyon, Don, and Aveil-Beis Maacho, and all of the areas around Kineres together with all the land of Naftali.

And when Bashah heard he stopped building the tower, and he lived in Tirtsah.

King Asa issued a proclamation to all Yehuda, “There will be no exceptions.” They carried away the stones of the tower and its timber with which Bashah had built it, and with this material, king Asa built the Hill of Binyomin and Mitzpah.

All the rest of the events of Asa, and all his might[y deeds], and all that he accomplished and the cities that he built, are indeed recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the kings of Yehudah. However, in his old age, he developed a sickness of his feet.

And Asa slept with his fathers and he was buried with his fathers in the city of Dovid, his [grand] father. Yehoshofat, his son, reigned in his place.
