When Baasha heard about these attacks, he stopped building up Ramah and returned to Tirzah.
Then Jeroboam’s wife left and returned to Tirzah. As soon as she entered her home, the boy died.
My darling, you are as beautiful as the city of Tirzah, as lovely as the city of Jerusalem, like an army flying flags.
When Baasha heard about this, he stopped building up Ramah and left his work.
Baasha attacked Judah, and he made the town of Ramah strong so he could keep people from leaving or entering Judah, Asa’s country.
So Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah became king in his place.
Omri became king of Israel during the thirty-first year Asa was king of Judah. Omri ruled Israel for twelve years, six of those years in the city of Tirzah.
