1. וּבִשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לַמֶּלֶךְ יָרָבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט מָלַךְ אֲבִיָּם עַל־יְהוּדָה׃
1. Now in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 reigned H4427 Abijam H38 over H5921 Judah H3063 .
2. שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֹום׃
2. Three H7969 years H8141 reigned H4427 he in Jerusalem H3389 . And his mother H517 's name H8034 was Maachah H4601 , the daughter H1323 of Abishalom H53 .
3. וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּכָל־חַטֹּאות אָבִיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה לְפָנָיו וְלֹא־הָיָה לְבָבֹו שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו כִּלְבַב דָּוִד אָבִיו׃
3. And he walked H1980 in all H3605 the sins H2403 of his father H1 , which H834 he had done H6213 before H6440 him : and his heart H3824 was H1961 not H3808 perfect H8003 with H5973 the LORD H3068 his God H430 , as the heart H3824 of David H1732 his father H1 .
4. כִּי לְמַעַן דָּוִד נָתַן יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו לֹו נִיר בִּירוּשָׁלִָם לְהָקִים אֶת־בְּנֹו אַחֲרָיו וּלְהַעֲמִיד אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
4. Nevertheless H3588 for David's sake H4616 H1732 did the LORD H3068 his God H430 give H5414 him a lamp H5216 in Jerusalem H3389 , to set up H6965 H853 his son H1121 after H310 him , and to establish H5975 H853 Jerusalem H3389 :
5. אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה דָוִד אֶת־הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא־סָר מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּהוּ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיָּיו רַק בִּדְבַר אוּרִיָּה הַחִתִּי׃
5. Because H834 David H1732 did H6213 that which was H853 right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 , and turned not aside H3808 H5493 from any H4480 H3605 thing that H834 he commanded H6680 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life H2416 , save only H7535 in the matter H1697 of Uriah H223 the Hittite H2850 .
6. וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵין־רְחַבְעָם וּבֵין יָרָבְעָם כָּל־יְמֵי חַיָּיו׃
6. And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life H2416 .
7. וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי אֲבִיָּם וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹוא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אֲבִיָּם וּבֵין יָרָבְעָם׃
7. Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Abijam H38 , and all H3605 that H834 he did H6213 , are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ? And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Abijam H38 and Jeroboam H3379 .
8. וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֲבִיָּם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתֹו בְּעִיר דָּוִד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָסָא בְנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ פ
8. And Abijam H38 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers H1 ; and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David H1732 : and Asa H609 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
9. וּבִשְׁנַת עֶשְׂרִים לְיָרָבְעָם מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל מָלַךְ אָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה׃
9. And in the twentieth H6242 year H8141 of Jeroboam H3379 king H4428 of Israel H3478 reigned H4427 H4428 Asa H609 over Judah H3063 .
10. וְאַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֹום׃
10. And forty H705 and one H259 years H8141 reigned H4427 he in Jerusalem H3389 . And his mother H517 's name H8034 was Maachah H4601 , the daughter H1323 of Abishalom H53 .
11. וַיַּעַשׂ אָסָא הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּדָוִד אָבִיו׃
11. And Asa H609 did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD H3068 , as did David H1732 his father H1 .
12. וַיַּעֲבֵר הַקְּדֵשִׁים מִן־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּסַר אֶת־כָּל־הַגִּלֻּלִים אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתָיו׃
12. And he took away H5674 the sodomites H6945 out of H4480 the land H776 , and removed H5493 H853 all H3605 the idols H1544 that H834 his fathers H1 had made H6213 .
13. וְגַם ׀ אֶת־מַעֲכָה אִמֹּו וַיְסִרֶהָ מִגְּבִירָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה מִפְלֶצֶת לָאֲשֵׁרָה וַיִּכְרֹת אָסָא אֶת־מִפְלַצְתָּהּ וַיִּשְׂרֹף בְּנַחַל קִדְרֹון׃
13. And also H1571 H853 Maachah H4601 his mother H517 , even her he removed H5493 from being queen H4480 H1377 , because H834 she had made H6213 an idol H4656 in a grove H842 ; and Asa H609 destroyed H3772 H853 her idol H4656 , and burnt H8313 it by the brook H5158 Kidron H6939 .
14. וְהַבָּמֹות לֹא־סָרוּ רַק לְבַב־אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהוָה כָּל־יָמָיו׃
14. But the high places H1116 were not H3808 removed H5493 : nevertheless H7535 Asa H609 's heart H3824 was H1961 perfect H8003 with H5973 the LORD H3068 all H3605 his days H3117 .
15. וַיָּבֵא אֶת־קָדְשֵׁי אָבִיו וְקָדְשֹׁו כ (וְקָדְשֵׁי ק) בֵּית יְהוָה כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְכֵלִים׃
15. And he brought in H935 H853 the things which his father H1 had dedicated H6944 , and the things which himself had dedicated H6944 , into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , silver H3701 , and gold H2091 , and vessels H3627 .
16. וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אָסָא וּבֵין בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל־יְמֵיהֶם׃
16. And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Asa H609 and Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 all H3605 their days H3117 .
17. וַיַּעַל בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְהוּדָה וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הָרָמָה לְבִלְתִּי תֵּת יֹצֵא וָבָא לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה׃
17. And Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 went up H5927 against H5921 Judah H3063 , and built H1129 H853 Ramah H7414 , that he might not H1115 suffer H5414 any to go out H3318 or come in H935 to Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 .
18. וַיִּקַּח אָסָא אֶת־כָּל־הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב הַנֹּותָרִים ׀ בְּאֹוצְרֹות בֵּית־יְהוָה וְאֶת־אֹוצְרֹות בֵּית מֶלֶךְ כ (הַמֶּלֶךְ ק) וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּשְׁלָחֵם הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא אֶל־בֶּן־הֲדַד בֶּן־טַבְרִמֹּן בֶּן־חֶזְיֹון מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּדַמֶּשֶׂק לֵאמֹר׃
18. Then Asa H609 took H3947 H853 all H3605 the silver H3701 and the gold H2091 that were left H3498 in the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and the treasures H214 of the king H4428 's house H1004 , and delivered H5414 them into the hand H3027 of his servants H5650 : and king H4428 Asa H609 sent H7971 them to H413 Ben H1130 -hadad , the son H1121 of Tabrimon H2886 , the son H1121 of Hezion H2383 , king H4428 of Syria H758 , that dwelt H3427 at Damascus H1834 , saying H559 ,
19. בְּרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ בֵּין אָבִי וּבֵין אָבִיךָ הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי לְךָ שֹׁחַד כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב לֵךְ הָפֵרָה אֶת־בְּרִיתְךָ אֶת־בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיַעֲלֶה מֵעָלָי׃
19. There is a league H1285 between H996 me and thee, and between H996 my father H1 and thy father H1 : behold H2009 , I have sent H7971 unto thee a present H7810 of silver H3701 and gold H2091 ; come H1980 and break H6565 H853 thy league H1285 with H854 Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 , that he may depart H5927 from H4480 H5921 me.
20. וַיִּשְׁמַע בֶּן־הֲדַד אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר־לֹו עַל־עָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּךְ אֶת־עִיֹּון וְאֶת־דָּן וְאֵת אָבֵל בֵּית־מַעֲכָה וְאֵת כָּל־כִּנְרֹות עַל כָּל־אֶרֶץ נַפְתָּלִי׃
20. So Ben H1130 -hadad hearkened H8085 unto H413 king H4428 Asa H609 , and sent H7971 H853 the captains H8269 of the hosts H2428 which H834 he had against H5921 the cities H5892 of Israel H3478 , and smote H5221 H853 Ijon H5859 , and Dan H1835 , and Abel H62 -beth-maachah , and all H3605 Cinneroth H3672 , with H5921 all H3605 the land H776 of Naphtali H5321 .
21. וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ בַּעְשָׁא וַיֶּחְדַּל מִבְּנֹות אֶת־הָרָמָה וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּתִרְצָה׃
21. And it came to pass H1961 , when Baasha H1201 heard H8085 thereof , that he left off H2308 building H4480 H1129 of H853 Ramah H7414 , and dwelt H3427 in Tirzah H8656 .
22. וְהַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא הִשְׁמִיעַ אֶת־כָּל־יְהוּדָה אֵין נָקִי וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־אַבְנֵי הָרָמָה וְאֶת־עֵצֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּעְשָׁא וַיִּבֶן בָּם הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא אֶת־גֶּבַע בִּנְיָמִן וְאֶת־הַמִּצְפָּה׃
22. Then king H4428 Asa H609 made a proclamation H8085 throughout H853 all H3605 Judah H3063 ; none H369 was exempted H5355 : and they took away H5375 H853 the stones H68 of Ramah H7414 , and the timber H6086 thereof, wherewith H834 Baasha H1201 had built H1129 ; and king H4428 Asa H609 built H1129 with them H853 Geba H1387 of Benjamin H1144 , and Mizpah H4709 .
23. וְיֶתֶר כָּל־דִּבְרֵי־אָסָא וְכָל־גְּבוּרָתֹו וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְהֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה הֲלֹא־הֵמָּה כְתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה רַק לְעֵת זִקְנָתֹו חָלָה אֶת־רַגְלָיו׃
23. The rest H3499 of all H3605 the acts H1697 of Asa H609 , and all H3605 his might H1369 , and all H3605 that H834 he did H6213 , and the cities H5892 which H834 he built H1129 , are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 ? Nevertheless H7535 in the time H6256 of his old age H2209 he was diseased H2470 in H853 his feet H7272 .
24. וַיִּשְׁכַּב אָסָא עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר עִם־אֲבֹתָיו בְּעִיר דָּוִד אָבִיו וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהֹושָׁפָט בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ פ
24. And Asa H609 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers H1 , and was buried H6912 with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732 his father H1 : and Jehoshaphat H3092 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
25. וְנָדָב בֶּן־יָרָבְעָם מָלַךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁנָתָיִם׃
25. And Nadab H5070 the son H1121 of Jeroboam H3379 began to reign H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 in the second H8147 year H8141 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , and reigned H4427 over H5921 Israel H3478 two years H8141 .
26. וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אָבִיו וּבְחַטָּאתֹו אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
26. And he did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , and walked H1980 in the way H1870 of his father H1 , and in his sin H2403 wherewith H834 he made Israel to sin H2398 H853 H3478 .
27. וַיִּקְשֹׁר עָלָיו בַּעְשָׁא בֶן־אֲחִיָּה לְבֵית יִשָּׂשכָר וַיַּכֵּהוּ בַעְשָׁא בְּגִבְּתֹון אֲשֶׁר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְנָדָב וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל צָרִים עַל־גִּבְּתֹון׃
27. And Baasha H1201 the son H1121 of Ahijah H281 , of the house H1004 of Issachar H3485 , conspired H7194 against H5921 him ; and Baasha H1201 smote H5221 him at Gibbethon H1405 , which H834 belonged to the Philistines H6430 ; for Nadab H5070 and all H3605 Israel H3478 laid siege H6696 to H5921 Gibbethon H1405 .
28. וַיְמִתֵהוּ בַעְשָׁא בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹשׁ לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ תַּחְתָּיו׃
28. Even in the third H7969 year H8141 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 did Baasha H1201 slay H4191 him , and reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
29. וַיְהִי כְמָלְכֹו הִכָּה אֶת־כָּל־בֵּית יָרָבְעָם לֹא־הִשְׁאִיר כָּל־נְשָׁמָה לְיָרָבְעָם עַד־הִשְׁמִדֹו כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד־עַבְדֹּו אֲחִיָּה הַשִּׁילֹנִי׃
29. And it came to pass H1961 , when he reigned H4427 , that he smote H5221 H853 all H3605 the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 ; he left H7604 not H3808 to Jeroboam H3379 any H3605 that breathed H5397 , until H5704 he had destroyed H8045 him , according unto the saying H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he spoke H1696 by H3027 his servant H5650 Ahijah H281 the Shilonite H7888 :
30. עַל־חַטֹּאות יָרָבְעָם אֲשֶׁר חָטָא וַאֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכַעְסֹו אֲשֶׁר הִכְעִיס אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
30. Because H5921 of the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 which H834 he sinned H2398 , and which H834 he made Israel to sin H2398 H853 H3478 , by his provocation H3708 wherewith H834 he provoked H3707 H853 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 to anger.
31. וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי נָדָב וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
31. Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Nadab H5070 , and all H3605 that H834 he did H6213 , are they H1992 not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 ?
32. וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אָסָא וּבֵין בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל־יְמֵיהֶם׃ פ
32. And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Asa H609 and Baasha H1201 king H4428 of Israel H3478 all H3605 their days H3117 .
33. בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹשׁ לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ בַּעְשָׁא בֶן־אֲחִיָּה עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּתִרְצָה עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבַּע שָׁנָה׃
33. In the third H7969 year H8141 of Asa H609 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began Baasha H1201 the son H1121 of Ahijah H281 to reign H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 in Tirzah H8656 , twenty H6242 and four H702 years H8141 .
34. וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ יָרָבְעָם וּבְחַטָּאתֹו אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ס
34. And he did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , and walked H1980 in the way H1870 of Jeroboam H3379 , and in his sin H2403 wherewith H834 he made Israel to sin H2398 H853 H3478 .
