1. In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
|
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. He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.
|
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. And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.
|
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. Nevertheless for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem;
|
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. because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
|
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. And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
|
6. And there was H1961 war H4421 between H996 Rehoboam H7346 and Jeroboam H3379 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life H2416 .
|
|
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.
|
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. So Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place.
|
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. In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
|
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. And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.
|
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. Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did his father David.
|
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. And he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
|
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. Also he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron.
|
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. But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa's heart was loyal to the LORD all his days.
|
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. He also brought into the house of the LORD the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
|
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. Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
|
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. And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
|
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. Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
|
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. "Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me."
|
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. So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
|
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. Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.
|
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. Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
|
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. The rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, 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? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
|
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. So Asa rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
|
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. Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
|
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. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
|
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. Then Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
|
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. Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
|
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. And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
|
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. because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
|
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. 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?
|
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. And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
|
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. In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.
|
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. He did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
|
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 .
