Book 10 : NEVIIM - I KINGS - Chapter 015
15:001
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of
Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah
15:002
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name
was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom
15:003
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had
done before him; and his heart was not whole with HaShem his G-d, as the heart
of David his father
15:004
Nevertheless for David's sake did HaShem his G-d give him a
lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem
15:005
because David did that which was right in the eyes of
HaShem, and turned not aside from any thing that He commanded him all the days
of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite
15:006
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the
days of his life
15:007
And 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
15:008
And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in
the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead
15:009
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began
Asa to reign over Judah
15:010
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his
mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom
15:011
And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of HaShem, as
did David his father
15:012
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed
all the idols that his fathers had made
15:013
And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen,
because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her
image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron
15:014
But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the
heart of Asa was whole with HaShem all his days
15:015
And he brought into the house of HaShem the things that
his father had hallowed, and the things that himself had hallowed, silver, and
gold, and vessels
15:016
And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all
their days
15:017
And Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built
Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah
15:018
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left
in the treasures of the house of HaShem, and the treasures 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 Aram, that dwelt at Damascus,
saying
15:019
'There is a league between me and thee, between my father
and thy father; behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go,
break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
15:020
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the
captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan,
and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali
15:021
And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he
left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah
15:022
Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was
exempted; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof,
wherewith Baasa had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and
Mizpah
15:023
Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might,
and 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
15:024
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his
stead
15:025
And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel
in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years
15:026
And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem, and
walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin
15:027
And Baasa the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar,
conspired against him; and Baasa smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the
Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon
15:028
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasa slay
him, and reigned in his stead
15:029
And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote
all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he
had destroyed him; according unto the saying of HaShem, which He spoke by the
hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite
15:030
for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he
made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked HaShem, the
G-d of Israel
15:031
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
15:032
And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all
their days
15:033
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasa the son
of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty and four years
15:034
And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem, and
walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin
