11The deeds of Asa, the first and the last, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12Asa became diseased in year thirty-nine of his reign in his feet, until his disease was very severe; yet even in his disease he did not seek YHWH, but the physicians. 13Asa lay down with his fathers, and he died in year forty-one of his reign. 14They buried him in his tombs that he had dug for himself in the city of David, and they laid him on the bed that they had filled with spices and perfumes of various kinds blended as a perfumer’s work; and they made for him a very great burning.

The context

22Then King Asa summoned all Judah, none exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building; and King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
