1 Kings 15:21-33

21And it came to pass, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he left offH2308 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and dweltH3427 in TirzahH8656. 22Then kingH4428 AsaH609 made a proclamationH8085 throughout all JudahH3063; none was exemptedH5355: and they tookH5375 away the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 had buildedH1129; and kingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 with them GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144, and MizpahH4709.1 23The restH3499 of all the actsH1697 of AsaH609, and all his mightH1369, and all that he didH6213, and the citiesH5892 which he builtH1129, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? Nevertheless in the timeH6256 of his old ageH2209 he was diseasedH2470 in his feetH7272. 24And AsaH609 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.2

25And NadabH5070 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 twoH8147 yearsH8141.3 26And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068, and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1, and in his sinH2403 wherewith he made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

27And BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, of the houseH1004 of IssacharH3485, conspiredH7194 against him; and BaashaH1201 smoteH5221 him at GibbethonH1405, which belonged to the PhilistinesH6430; for NadabH5070 and all IsraelH3478 laid siegeH6696 to GibbethonH1405. 28Even in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did BaashaH1201 slayH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead. 29And it came to pass, when he reignedH4427, that he smoteH5221 all the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; he leftH7604 not to JeroboamH3379 any that breathedH5397, until he had destroyedH8045 him, according unto the sayingH1697 of YhwhH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888: 30Because of the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he sinnedH2398, and which he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398, by his provocationH3708 wherewith he provoked YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707.

31Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of NadabH5070, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 32And there was warH4421 between AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 all their daysH3117. 33In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281 to reignH4427 over all IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, twentyH6242 and fourH702 yearsH8141.
