15Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.H8083H6240H8141H4428H3379H1121H5028H4427H38H3063 2He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.H7969H8141H4427H3389H517H8034H4601H1323H53 3He committed all the sins that his father did before him; his heart was not true to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.H3212H2403H1H6213H6440H3824H8003H3068H430H3824H1732H1 4Nevertheless for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;H1732H3068H430H5414H5216H3389H6965H1121H310H5975H3389 5because David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.H1732H6213H3477H5869H3068H5493H6680H3117H2416H1697H223H2850 6The war begun between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continued all the days of his life.H4421H7346H3379H3117H2416 7The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.H3499H1697H38H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063H4421H38H3379 8Abijam slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city of David. Then his son Asa succeeded him.H38H7901H1H6912H5892H1732H609H1121H4427 9In the twentieth year of King Jeroboam of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;H6242H8141H3379H4428H3478H4427H609H3063 10he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.H705H259H8141H4427H3389H517H8034H4601H1323H53 11Asa did what was right in the sight of the LORD, as his father David had done.H609H6213H3477H5869H3068H1732H1 12He put away the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his ancestors had made.H5674H6945H776H5493H1544H1H6213 13He also removed his mother Maacah from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for Asherah; Asa cut down her image and burned it at the Wadi Kidron.H4601H517H5493H1377H6213H4656H842H609H3772H4656H8313H5158H6939 14But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was true to the LORD all his days.H1116H5493H609H3824H8003H3068H3117 15He brought into the house of the LORD the votive gifts of his father and his own votive gifts—silver, gold, and utensils.H935H6944H1H6944H6944H1004H3068H3701H2091H3627 16There was war between Asa and King Baasha of Israel all their days.H4421H609H1201H4428H3478H3117 17King Baasha of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to King Asa of Judah.H1201H4428H3478H5927H3063H1129H7414H5414H3318H935H609H4428H3063 18Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants. King Asa sent them to King Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon son of Hezion of Aram, who resided in Damascus, saying,H609H3947H3701H2091H3498H214H1004H3068H214H4428H1004H5414H3027H5650H4428H609H7971H1130H1121H2886H1121H2383H4428H758H3427H1834H559 19"Let there be an alliance between me and you, like that between my father and your father: I am sending you a present of silver and gold; go, break your alliance with King Baasha of Israel, so that he may withdraw from me."H1285H1H1H7971H7810H3701H2091H3212H6565H1285H1201H4428H3478H5927 20Ben-hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.H1130H8085H4428H609H7971H8269H2428H5892H3478H5221H5859H1835H62H3672H776H5321 21When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah and lived in Tirzah.H1201H8085H2308H1129H7414H3427H8656 22Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, none was exempt: they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building; with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.H4428H609H8085H3063H5355H5375H68H7414H6086H1201H1129H4428H609H1129H1387H1144H4709 23Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, all his power, all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? But in his old age he was diseased in his feet.H3499H1697H609H1369H6213H5892H1129H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063H6256H2209H2470H7272 24Then Asa slept with his ancestors, and was buried with his ancestors in the city of his father David; his son Jehoshaphat succeeded him.H609H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H1H3092H1121H4427 25Nadab son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of King Asa of Judah; he reigned over Israel two years.H5070H1121H3379H4427H3478H8147H8141H609H4428H3063H4427H3478H8147H8141 26He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of his ancestor and in the sin that he caused Israel to commit.H6213H7451H5869H3068H3212H1870H1H2403H3478H2398 27Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.H1201H1121H281H1004H3485H7194H1201H5221H1405H6430H5070H3478H6696H1405 28So Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of King Asa of Judah, and succeeded him.H7969H8141H609H4428H3063H1201H4191H4427 29As soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jeroboam; he left to the house of Jeroboam not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite—H4427H5221H1004H3379H7604H3379H5397H8045H1697H3068H1696H3027H5650H281H7888 30because of the sins of Jeroboam that he committed and that he caused Israel to commit, and because of the anger to which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel.H2403H3379H2398H3478H2398H3708H3068H430H3478H3707 31Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel?H3499H1697H5070H6213H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3478 32There was war between Asa and King Baasha of Israel all their days.H4421H609H1201H4428H3478H3117 33In the third year of King Asa of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah; he reigned twenty-four years.H7969H8141H609H4428H3063H1201H1121H281H4427H3478H8656H6242H702H8141 34He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he caused Israel to commit.H6213H7451H5869H3068H3212H1870H3379H2403H3478H2398
