1 Kings 15

Abijam Reigns over Judah

1

 aNow in the eighteenthh8083h6240 yearh8141 of Kingh4428 Jeroboamh3379, the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, Abijamh38 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Judahh3063.

2

He reignedh4427a threeh7969 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389; and his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was  1 aMaacahh4601 the daughterh1323 of  2 bAbishalomh53.

3

He walkedh1980 in allh3605 the sinsh2403b of his fatherh1 whichh834 he had committedh6213a beforeh6440 him; and  ahis hearth3824 was not  1whollyh8003 devotedh8003 to the LORDh3068 his Godh430, like the hearth3824 of his fatherh1 Davidh1732.

4

But for David'sh1732 sakeh4616 the LORDh3068 his Godh430 gaveh5414 him a  alamph5215a in Jerusalemh3389, to raiseh6965 up his sonh1121 afterh310 him and to establishh5975 Jerusalemh3389;

5

 abecauseh834 Davidh1732 didh6213a whath3477 was righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and had not turnedh5493 asideh5493 from anythingh3605 that He commandedh6680 him allh3605 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2425b,  bexcepth7534 in the caseh1697 of Uriahh223a the Hittiteh2850.

6

 aThere was warh4421 betweenh996 Rehoboamh7346 and Jeroboamh3379 allh3605 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2425b.

7

Now  athe resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Abijamh38 and allh3605 that he didh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063?  bAnd there was warh4421 betweenh996 Abijamh38 and Jeroboamh3379.

Asa Succeeds Abijam

8

 aAnd Abijamh38 slepth7901 with his fathersh1 and they buriedh6912 him in the cityh5892b of Davidh1732; and Asah609 his sonh1121 becameh4427a kingh4427a in his placeh8478.

9

So in the twentiethh6242 yearh8141 of Jeroboamh3379 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478, Asah609 began to reignh4427a as kingh4428 of Judahh3063.

10

He reignedh4427a forty-oneh705h259 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389; and  ahis mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Maacahh4601 the daughterh1323 of Abishalomh53.

11

 aAsah609 didh6213a whath3477 was righth3477 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, like Davidh1732 his fatherh1.

12

 aHe also puth5674a awayh5674a the maleh6945 culth6945 prostitutesh6945 from the landh776 and  bremovedh5493 allh3605 the idolsh1544 whichh834 his fathersh1 had madeh6213a.

13

 1 aHe alsoh1571 removedh5493 Maacahh4601 his motherh517 from being queenh1377 motherh1377, becauseh834 she had madeh6213a a horridh4656 imageh4656  2as an Asherahh842; and Asah609 cuth3772 downh3772 her horridh4656 imageh4656 and  bburnedh8313 it at the brookh5158a Kidronh6939.

14

 aBut the highh1116 placesh1116 were not takenh5493 awayh5493; neverthelessh7534  bthe hearth3824 of Asah609 was  1whollyh8003 devotedh8003 to the LORDh3068 allh3605 his daysh3117.

15

 aHe broughth935 into the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 the dedicatedh6944 thingsh6944 of his fatherh1 and his own dedicatedh6944 thingsh6944: silverh3701 and goldh2091 and utensilsh3627.

16

 aNow there was warh4421 betweenh996 Asah609 and Baashah1201 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 allh3605 their daysh3117.

17

 aBaashah1201 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 wenth5927 up againsth5921 Judahh3063 and  1 bfortifiedh1129 Ramahh7414  cin order to preventh1115h5414 anyone from goingh3318 out or comingh935 in to Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063.

18

Then  aAsah609 tookh3947 allh3605 the silverh3701 and the goldh2091 which were lefth3498 in the treasuriesh214 of the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 and the treasuriesh214 of the king'sh4428 househ1004, and deliveredh5414 them into the handh3027 of his servantsh5650. And  bKingh4428 Asah609 senth7971 them to Ben-hadadh1130 the sonh1121 of Tabrimmonh2886, the sonh1121 of Hezionh2383, kingh4428 of Aramh758, who livedh3427 in  cDamascush1834, sayingh559,

19

"Let there be a  atreatyh1285 betweenh996  1you and me, as betweenh996 my fatherh1 and your fatherh1. Beholdh2009, I have senth7971 you a presenth7810 of silverh3701 and goldh2091; goh1980, breakh6565a your treatyh1285 with Baashah1201 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 so that he will withdrawh5927 from me."

20

So Ben-hadadh1130 listenedh8085 to Kingh4428 Asah609 and senth7971 the commandersh8269 of his armiesh2428 againsth5921 the citiesh5892b of Israelh3478, and  1conqueredh5221  aIjonh5859,  bDanh1835,  cAbel-beth-maacahh62 and allh3605  dChinnerothh3672, besidesh5921 allh3605 the landh776 of Naphtalih5321.

21

When Baashah1201 heardh8085 of it,  ahe ceasedh2308  1fortifyingh1129 Ramahh7414 and remainedh3427 in  bTirzahh8656.

22

Then Kingh4428 Asah609 madeh8085 a proclamationh8085 to allh3605 Judahh3063--noneh369 was exempth5355a--and they carriedh5375 away the stonesh68 of Ramahh7414 and its timberh6086 with whichh834 Baashah1201 had builth1129. And Kingh4428 Asah609 builth1129 with them  aGebah1387 of Benjaminh1144 and Mizpahh4709.

Jehoshaphat Succeeds Asa

23

 aNow the resth3499a of allh3605 the actsh1697 of Asah609 and allh3605 his mighth1369 and allh3605 that he didh6213a and the citiesh5892b whichh834 he builth1129, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063? But in the timeh6256 of his oldh2209 ageh2209 he was diseasedh2470a in his feeth7272.

24

And Asah609 slepth7901 with his fathersh1 and was buriedh6912 with his fathersh1 in the cityh5892b of Davidh1732 his fatherh1; and  aJehoshaphath3092 his sonh1121 reignedh4427a in his placeh8478.

Nadab, then Baasha, Rules over Israel

25

Now  aNadabh5070 the sonh1121 of Jeroboamh3379 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 in the secondh8147 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and he reignedh4427a overh5921 Israelh3478 twoh8147 yearsh8141.

26

He didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and  awalkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of his fatherh1 and  bin his sinh2403b whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398.

27

Then  aBaashah1201 the sonh1121 of Ahijahh281 of the househ1004 of Issacharh3485 conspiredh7194 againsth5921 him, and Baashah1201 struckh5221 him downh5221 at  bGibbethonh1405, whichh834 belonged to the Philistinesh6430, while Nadabh5070 and allh3605 Israelh3478 were layingh6696a siegeh6696a to Gibbethonh1405.

28

So Baashah1201 killedh4191 him in the thirdh7969 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 and reignedh4427a in his placeh8478.

29

It cameh1961 about as soon as he was kingh4427a, he struckh5221 downh5221 allh3605 the householdh1004 of Jeroboamh3379. He did not leaveh7604 to Jeroboamh3379  1anyh3605 personsh5397 aliveh5397, untilh5704 he had destroyedh8045 them,  aaccording to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, whichh834 He spokeh1696 by His servanth5650 Ahijahh281 the Shiloniteh7888,

30

and becauseh5921 of the sinsh2403b of Jeroboamh3379 whichh834 he sinnedh2398, and  awhichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398, because of his provocationh3708a with whichh834 he provokedh3707 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 to angerh3708a.

31

 aNow the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Nadabh5070 and allh3605 that he didh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

32

 aThere was warh4421 betweenh996 Asah609 and Baashah1201 kingh4428 of Israelh3478 allh3605 their daysh3117.

33

In the thirdh7969 yearh8141 of Asah609 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, Baashah1201 the sonh1121 of Ahijahh281 becameh4427a kingh4427a overh5921 allh3605 Israelh3478 at Tirzahh8656, and reigned twenty-fourh6242h702 yearsh8141.

34

He didh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and  awalkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of Jeroboamh3379 and in his sinh2403b whichh834 he made Israelh3478 sinh2398.
