Now in the eighteenthH8083 H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 reignedH4427 AbijamH38 overH5921 Judah.H3063
2
ThreeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Jerusalem.H3389 and his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was Maachah,H4601 the daughterH1323 of Abishalom.H53
3
And he walkedH3212 in allH3605 the sinsH2403 of his father,H1 whichH834 he had doneH6213 beforeH6440 him: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his God,H430 as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his father.H1
4
NeverthelessH3588 for David'sH1732 sakeH4616 did the LORDH3068 his GodH430 giveH5414 him a lampH5216 in Jerusalem,H3389 to setH6965 up his sonH1121 afterH310 him, and to establishH5975 Jerusalem:H3389
5
BecauseH834 DavidH1732 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORD,H3068 and turnedH5493 not aside from anyH3605 thing that he commandedH6680 him allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life,H2416 save onlyH7535 in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the Hittite.H2850
6
And there was warH4421 betweenH996 RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life.H2416
7
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Abijam,H38 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063 And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AbijamH38 and Jeroboam.H3379
8
And AbijamH38 sleptH7901 with his fathers;H1 and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of David:H1732 and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
9
And in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 reignedH4427 AsaH609 overH5921 Judah.H3063
10
And fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in Jerusalem.H3389 And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was Maachah,H4601 the daughterH1323 of Abishalom.H53
11
And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORD,H3068 as did DavidH1732 his father.H1
12
And he tookH5674 away the sodomitesH6945 out of the land,H776 and removedH5493 allH3605 the idolsH1544 that his fathersH1 had made.H6213
13
And alsoH1571 MaachahH4601 his mother,H517 even her he removedH5493 from being queen,H1377 becauseH834 she had madeH6213 an idolH4656 in a grove;H842 and AsaH609 destroyedH3772 her idol,H4656 and burntH8313 it by the brookH5158 Kidron.H6939
14
But the highH1116 places were not removed:H5493 neverthelessH7535 Asa'sH609 heartH3824 was perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 allH3605 his days.H3117
15
And he broughtH935 in the things which his fatherH1 had dedicated,H6944 and the things which himself had dedicated,H6944 into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and vessels.H3627
16
And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their days.H3117
17
And BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up againstH5921 Judah,H3063 and builtH1129 Ramah,H7414 that he might not sufferH5414 any to goH3318 out or comeH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of Judah.H3063
18
Then AsaH609 tookH3947 allH3605 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that were leftH3498 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 house,H1004 and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of his servants:H5650 and kingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Benhadad,H1130 the sonH1121 of Tabrimon,H2886 the sonH1121 of Hezion,H2383 kingH4428 of Syria,H758 that dwelledH3427 at Damascus,H1834 saying,H559
19
There is a leagueH1285 betweenH996 me and you, and betweenH996 my fatherH1 and your father:H1 behold,H2009 I have sentH7971 to you a presentH7810 of silverH3701 and gold;H2091 comeH3212 and breakH6565 your leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 that he may departH5927 from me.
20
So BenhadadH1130 listenedH8085 to kingH4428 Asa,H609 and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of the hostsH2428 whichH834 he had againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of Israel,H3478 and smoteH5221 Ijon,H5859 and Dan,H1835 and Abelbethmaachah,H62 and allH3605 Cinneroth,H3672 with allH3605 the landH776 of Naphtali.H5321
21
And it cameH1961 to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he leftH2308 off buildingH1129 of Ramah,H7414 and dwelledH3427 in Tirzah.H8656
22
Then kingH4428 AsaH609 made a proclamationH8085 throughout allH3605 Judah;H3063 noneH369 was exempted:H5355 and they tookH5375 away the stonesH68 of Ramah,H7414 and the timberH6086 thereof, with whichH834 BaashaH1201 had built;H1129 and kingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 with them GebaH1387 of Benjamin,H1144 and Mizpah.H4709
23
The restH3499 of allH3605 the actsH1697 of Asa,H609 and allH3605 his might,H1369 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 and the citiesH5892 whichH834 he built,H1129 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063 NeverthelessH7535 in the timeH6256 of his oldH2209 age he was diseasedH2470 in his feet.H7272
24
And AsaH609 sleptH7901 with his fathers,H1 and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his father:H1 and JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
25
And NadabH5070 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 began to reignH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 twoH8147 years.H8141
26
And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of his father,H1 and in his sinH2403 with whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 to sin.H2398
27
And BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of Ahijah,H281 of the houseH1004 of Issachar,H3485 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him; and BaashaH1201 smoteH5221 him at Gibbethon,H1405 whichH834 belonged to the Philistines;H6430 for NadabH5070 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 laid siegeH6696 to Gibbethon.H1405
28
Even in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did BaashaH1201 slayH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
29
And it cameH1961 to pass, when he reigned,H4427 that he smoteH5221 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Jeroboam;H3379 he leftH7604 not to JeroboamH3379 anyH3605 that breathed,H5397 untilH5704 he had destroyedH8045 him, according to the sayingH1697 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 he spokeH1696 by his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the Shilonite:H7888
30
BecauseH5921 of the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 whichH834 he sinned,H2398 and whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sin,H2398 by his provocationH3708 with whichH834 he provoked the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to anger.H3707
31
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Nadab,H5070 and allH3605 that he did,H6213 are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 H3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
32
And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their days.H3117
33
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281 to reignH4427 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 in Tirzah,H8656 twentyH6242 and fourH702 years.H8141
34
And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of Jeroboam,H3379 and in his sinH2403 with whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 to sin.H2398
