Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah,.... Summoned men of all sorts, ranks, and degrees: (none was exempted;) the Jews (z) say, not so much as a newly

married man, whom the law excused from war the first year, nor the disciples of the wise men: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; or fortified the place; these; the men of Judah, whom Asa summoned, carried off: and King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah; which were both in the tribe of Benjamin, and which he fortified, Jos 18:24 . (z) Jarchi & Kimchi in loc.
