5 Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.
6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

8 Were athe Ethiopians and bthe Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your chand.
