When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying Ramah and settled down in Tirzah.
So Jeroboam’s wife got up and went back to Tirzah. As she crossed the threshold of the house, the boy died.
King Baasha of Israel attacked Judah and established Ramah as a military outpost to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the land of King Asa of Judah.
In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king over Israel. He ruled for twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.
Baasha passed away and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah replaced him as king.
When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned the project.
My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as awe-inspiring as bannered armies!
