Exegesis
The main storyline then reports Baasha’s action with alah {עָלָ֞ה | ʿālâ} ‘went up’, a common military movement verb that frames the approach as an incursion, and continues with the waw-consecutive vayiven {וַיִּ֖בֶן | wayyiben} ‘and he built’, presenting the fortification as the next consequential step.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:1
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign , Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah , so that he would not permit anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
