Contextual Overview
9 In the twentieth year of Israel's King Jeroboam, Asa became king of Judah 10 and reigned 41 years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom. 11 Asa did what was right in the Lord 's eyes, as his ancestor David had done. 12 He banished the male cult prostitutes from the land and removed all of the idols that his fathers had made. 13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa chopped down her obscene image and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 The high places were not taken away; but Asa's heart was completely devoted to the Lord his entire life. 15 He brought his father's consecrated gifts and his own consecrated gifts into the Lord 's temple: silver, gold, and utensils. 16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns. 17 Israel's King Baasha went to war against Judah. He built Ramah in order to deny anyone access to Judah's King Asa. 18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the Lord 's temple and the treasuries of the royal palace and put it into the hands of his servants.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof,.... What was doing in the northern part of his kingdom:

and dwelt in Tirzah; in the tribe of Manasseh, nearer at hand, to observe and stop the motions of the Syrian king.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 15:21. Dwelt in Tirzah. — This seems to have been the royal city; see 1 Kings 15:33, and 1 Kings 14:17; and in this Baasha was probably obliged to shut himself up.
