1 Kings 15

1Now in the eighteenthH6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 began AbijamH38 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063. 2ThreeH7969 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaacahH4601 the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53. 3And he walked in allH3605 the sinsH2403 of his fatherH1, whichH834 he had doneH6213 beforeH6440 him: and his heartH3824 was notH3808 perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 4NeverthelessH3588 for David’sH1732 sakeH4616 did the LORDH3068 his GodH430 giveH5414 him a lampH5216 in JerusalemH3389, to setH5414 upH6965 his sonH1121 afterH310 him, and to establishH6965 JerusalemH3389: 5becauseH834 DavidH1732 didH6213 that whichH834 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5493 notH3808 asideH5493 from anyH3605 thingH1697 that he commandedH6680 him allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117, save onlyH7535 in the matterH1697 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850. 6NowH1961 there was warH4421 betweenH996 RehoboamH7346 and JeroboamH3379 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117. 7And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijamH38, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AbijamH38 and JeroboamH3379. 8And AbijamH38 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 9And in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began AsaH609 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063. 10And fortyH705 and one yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was MaacahH4601 the daughterH1323 of AbishalomH53. 11And AsaH609 didH6213 that whichH5869 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, as didH6213 DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 12And he putH5493 awayH5493 the sodomitesH6945 outH4480 of the landH776, and removedH5493 allH3605 the idolsH1544 that his fathersH1 had madeH6213. 13And also MaacahH4601 his motherH517 he removedH5493 from beingH3772 queenH1377, becauseH834 sheH834 had madeH6213 an abominable imageH4656 for an AsherahH842; and AsaH609 cutH3772 downH3772 herH3772 imageH4656, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. 14But the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 allH3605 his daysH3117. 15And he broughtH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and the things that himself had dedicatedH6944, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627. 16And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their daysH3117. 17And BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3318 upH5927 againstH5921 JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, that he might notH1115 suffer anyH5414 to goH3318 outH3318 or comeH935 in to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 18Then AsaH609 tookH3947 allH3605 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that were leftH3498 in the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and deliveredH5414 them intoH413 the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and kingH4428 AsaH609 sentH7971 them to Ben-hadadH1130, the sonH1121 of TabrimmonH2886, the sonH1121 of HezionH2383, kingH4428 of SyriaH758, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559, 19There is a leagueH1285 betweenH996 meH7971 and thee, betweenH996 my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: beholdH2009, I have sentH7971 unto thee a presentH7810 of silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH5927, breakH6565 thy leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may departH5927 from meH7971. 20And Ben-hadadH1130 hearkened unto kingH4428 AsaH609, and sentH7971 the captainsH8269 of his armiesH2428 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, and smoteH5221 IjonH5859, and DanH1835, and Abel-beth-maacahH62, and allH3605 ChinnerothH3672, with allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321. 21And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when BaashaH1201 heardH8085 thereof, that he leftH1961 offH853 buildingH1129 of RamahH7414, and dweltH3427 in TirzahH8656. 22Then kingH4428 AsaH609 madeH3605 a proclamationH8085 unto allH3605 JudahH3063; noneH369 was exempted: and they carriedH5375 awayH5375 the stonesH68 of RamahH7414, and the timberH6086 thereof, wherewith BaashaH1201 had builded; and kingH4428 AsaH609 builtH1129 therewith GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144, and MizpahH4709. 23NowH3117 the restH3499 of allH3605 the actsH1697 of AsaH609, and allH3605 his might, and allH3605 that he didH6213, and the citiesH5892 whichH834 he builtH1129, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? But in the time of his oldH2209 ageH3117 he was diseased 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 steadH8478. 25And NadabH5070 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and he reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 twoH8147 yearsH8141. 26And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walked in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1, and in his sinH2398 wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 27And BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, of the houseH1004 of IssacharH3485, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him; and BaashaH1201 smoteH5221 him at GibbethonH1405, whichH834 belonged to the PhilistinesH6430; for NadabH5070 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 were laying siege to GibbethonH1405. 28Even in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did BaashaH1201 slayH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 29And it cameH1961 to passH1961 that, as soon as he was kingH4427, he smoteH5221 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379; he leftH7604 notH3808 to JeroboamH3379 anyH3605 that breathedH5397, untilH5704 he had destroyedH8045 him; accordingH3027 unto the sayingH1697 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 he spake by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888: 30for the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 whichH834 he sinnedH2398, and wherewith he madeH834 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398; becauseH5921 of his provocation wherewith he provokedH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to angerH3707. 31NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of NadabH5070, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the hook of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 32And there was warH4421 betweenH996 AsaH609 and BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 allH3605 their daysH3117. 33In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281 to reignH4427 over allH3605 IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, and reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fourH702 yearsH8141. 34And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walked in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379, and in his sinH2398 wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
