15:1 And in the eighteenth year of the reign
of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Judah.
15:2 And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was]
Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
15:3 And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his
presence, and his heart was not perfect with Yehovah his Elohim, as [was] the
heart of his father [David].
15:4 Howbeit for David's sake Yehovah gave him a remnant, that he might
establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
15:5 Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of Yehovah:
he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
15:6
15:7 And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are
not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And
there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.
15:8 And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam;
and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son
reigns in his stead.
15:9 In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins
to reign over Judah.
15:10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name
[was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
15:11 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of Yehovah, as David
his father.
15:12 And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the
practices which his fathers had kept up.
15:13 And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she
gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt
them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
15:14 But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was
perfect with Yehovah all his days.
15:15 And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his
gold and silver pillars into the house of Yehovah, and [his] vessels.
15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
15:17 And Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Rama, so that
no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Judah.
15:18 And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the
treasures of the house of Yehovah, and in the treasures of the king's
house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them
out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who
dwelt in Damascus, saying,
15:19 Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy
father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come,
break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.
15:20 And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his
forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the
house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
15:21 And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building
Rama, and returned to Thersa.
15:22 And king Asa charged all Judah without exception: and they take up the
stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa
built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
15:23 And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he
wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his
old age he was diseased in his feet.
15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the
city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
15:25 And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa
king of Judah, and he reigned two years in Israel.
15:26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in
the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
15:27 And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of
Achia, conspired against him, and smote him in Gabathon of the Philistines;
for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
15:28 And Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Judah;
and reigned in his stead.
15:29 And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of
Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed
him utterly, according to the word of Yehovah which he spoke by his servant
Achia the Selonite,
15:30 for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his
provocation wherewith he provoked Yehovah Elohim of Israel.
15:31 And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are
not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15:32
15:33 And in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasa the son of Achia
begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.
15:34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in
the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel
to sin. |
15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king
Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
15:2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah,
the daughter of Abishalom.
15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before
him: and his heart was not perfect with Yehovah his Elohim, as the heart of
David his father.
15:4 Nevertheless for David's sake did Yehovah his Elohim give him a lamp in
Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of Yehovah, and
turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his
life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his
life.
15:7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was
war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of
David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
15:9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over
Judah.
15:10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
15:11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yehovah, as did David
his father.
15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the
idols that his fathers had made.
15:13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen,
because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and
burnt it by the brook Kidron.
15:14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was
perfect with Yehovah all his days.
15:15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the
things which himself had dedicated, into the house of Yehovah, silver, and
gold, and vessels.
15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their
days.
15:17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that
he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
15:18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the
treasures of the house of Yehovah, and the treasures of the king's house,
and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to
Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt
at Damascus, saying,
15:19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy
father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and
break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
15:20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the
hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan,
and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off
building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
15:22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was
exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof,
wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin,
and Mizpah.
15:23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he
did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he
was diseased in his feet.
15:24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the
city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
15:25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second
year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
15:26 And he did evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in the way of his
father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
15:27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired
against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the
Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
15:28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and
reigned in his stead.
15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of
Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed
him, according unto the saying of Yehovah, which he spake by his servant
Ahijah the Shilonite:
15:30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made
Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked Yehovah Elohim of Israel
to anger.
15:31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their
days.
15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah
to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
15:34 And he did evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in the way of
Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. |
