Exegesis
The relative clause asher banah Baasha {אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּעְשָׁ֑א | ʾăšer bānāh baʿāšāʾ} links the materials to Baasha’s prior construction, highlighting a reversal: what one king erected is stripped and reassigned.
In context — 1 Kings 15:22
King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timbers, with which Baasha had built; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah .
