A.M. 3074. B.C. 930. Baasha.
1 Kings 15:27; 2 Chronicles 16:1-6
Ramah.By building Ramah is here meant fortifying it, in order to prevent all intercourse with the kingdom of Judah, lest his subjects should cleave to the house of David: for Ramah was a city of Benjamin, situated on the confines of both kingdoms, probably on a hill, as the name imports, commanding a narrow defile between the mountains, through which lay the principal road to Jerusalem; so that a fortification being erected here, no communication could be held between the people of Israel and Judah, without Baasha's permission.
1 Kings 15:21; Joshua 18:25; 1 Samuel 15:34; Jeremiah 31:15
he might not suffer.
