The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Rex autem Asa nuntium misit in omnem Judam, dicens : Nemo sit excusatus. Et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna ejus, quibus ædificaverat Baasa, et exstruxit de eis rex Asa Gabaa Benjamin, et Maspha.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ παρήγγειλεν παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ εἰς Αἰνακείμ, καὶ αἴρουσιν τοὺς λίθους τῆς Ῥααμὰ καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾠκοδόμησεν Βαασά, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ πᾶν βουνὸν Βενιαμεὶν καὶ τὴν σκοπιάν.
Hebrew (WLC): וְהַמֶּ֨לֶךְ אָסָ֜א הִשְׁמִ֤יעַ אֶת כָּל יְהוּדָה֙ אֵ֣ין נָקִ֔י וַיִּשְׂא֞וּ אֶת אַבְנֵ֤י הָֽרָמָה֙ וְאֶת עֵצֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּעְשָׁ֑א וַיִּ֤בֶן בָּם֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֔א אֶת גֶּ֥בַע בִּנְיָמִ֖ן וְאֶת הַמִּצְפָּֽה

Haydock's commentary

Excused. "When the country is to be defended, all exemptions cease." (Leg. ult.) (Calmet)

Septuagint seem to preserve the terms of the original untranslated, "Asa called all....to Annacim." Hebrew en naki, (Haydock) means, "no one exempt." (Calmet)

Rama belonged to the enemy; and, as it appears from this passage, was in the vicinity of Maspha. (Haydock)

Gabaa, the city of Saul, (Menochius) adding fresh fortifications, as this and Maspha were frontier towns, against the inroads of Israel. (Haydock)
