1KI-15:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of
Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
1KI-15:2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1KI-15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he
had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD
his God, as the heart of David his father.
1KI-15:4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give
him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to
establish Jerusalem:
1KI-15:5 Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of
the LORD, 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.
1KI-15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the
days of his life.
1KI-15:7 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.
1KI-15:8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him
in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
1KI-15:9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel
reigned Asa over Judah.
1KI-15:10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And
his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1KI-15:11 And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the
LORD, as [did] David his father.
1KI-15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and
removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
1KI-15:13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from
[being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa
destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
1KI-15:14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless
Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
1KI-15:15 And he brought in the things which his father had
dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the
house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
1KI-15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of
Israel all their days.
1KI-15:17 And Baasha 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.
1KI-15:18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were]
left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the
treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand
of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of
Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at
Damascus, saying,
1KI-15:19 [There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between
my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a
present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with
Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
1KI-15:20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the
captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel,
and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth,
with all the land of Naphtali.
1KI-15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that
he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
1KI-15:22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah;
none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah,
and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king
Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
1KI-15:23 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?
Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his
feet.
1KI-15:24 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.
1KI-15:25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over
Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over
Israel two years.
1KI-15:26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked
in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made
Israel to sin.
1KI-15:27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar,
conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which
[belonged] to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid
siege to Gibbethon.
1KI-15:28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha
slay him, and reigned in his stead.
1KI-15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] 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 the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
1KI-15:30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and
which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he
provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
1KI-15:31 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?
1KI-15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of
Israel all their days.
1KI-15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha
the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and
four years.
1KI-15:34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked
in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel
to sin.
