1 Kings 15:21-33

21WhenH1961 BaashaH1201 learned of thisH8085, he stoppedH2308 fortifyingH1129 RamahH7414 and withdrewH3427 to TirzahH8656. 22Then KingH4428 AsaH609 summonedH8085 allH3605 the men of JudahH3063,1 with noH369 exceptionsH5355, and they carried awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414 and the timbersH6086 BaashaH1201 had used for buildingH1129. And with these materials KingH4428 AsaH609 built upH1129 GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144, as well asH853 MizpahH4709.

23Now the restH3499H3605 of the actsH1697 of AsaH609, along with allH3605 his mightH1369, allH3605 his accomplishmentsH834H6213, and the citiesH5892 he builtH1129, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? In his old ageH6256H2209, howeverH7535, he became diseasedH2470 in his feetH7272.

24And AsaH609 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 withH5973 them in the cityH5892 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and his sonH1121 JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

25In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, NadabH5070 sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 became kingH4427 ofH5921 IsraelH3478, and he reignedH4427 two yearsH8141. 26And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 and walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1 and in his sinH2403, whichH834 he had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398.

27Then BaashaH1201 sonH1121 of AhijahH281 of the houseH1004 of IssacharH3485 conspiredH7194 against NadabH5921, and BaashaH1201 struck him downH5221 at GibbethonH1405 of the PhilistinesH6430 while NadabH5070 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 were besiegingH6696H5921 the city. 28In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, BaashaH1201 killed NadabH4191 and reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

29As soon asH1961 Baasha became kingH4427, he struck downH5221 the entireH3605 householdH1004 of JeroboamH3379. He did notH3808 leaveH7604 to JeroboamH3379H5704 anyoneH3605 who breathedH5397, but destroyed them allH8045 according to the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 throughH3027 His servantH5650 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, 30becauseH5921 of the sinsH2403 JeroboamH3379 had committedH2398 andH834 had caused IsraelH3478 to commitH2398, and because he had provokedH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to angerH3708.

31As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of NadabH5070, along with allH3605 his accomplishmentsH834H6213, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 32And there wasH1961 warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609H996 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 throughoutH3605 their daysH3117.

33In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of Asa’sH609 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, BaashaH1201 sonH1121 of AhijahH281 became kingH4427 ofH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478, and he reigned in TirzahH8656 twenty-fourH6242H702 yearsH8141.
