1
Now in the eighteenth
year
of King
Jeroboam,
the son
of Nebat,
Abijam
became king
over
Judah.
2
He reigned
three
years
in Jerusalem;
and his mother's
name
was Maacah
the daughter
of Abishalom.
3
He walked
in all
the sins
of his father
which
he had committed
before
him; and his heart
was not wholly devoted
to the LORD
his God,
like the heart
of his father
David.
4
But for David's
sake
the LORD
his God
gave
him a lamp
in Jerusalem,
to raise
up his son
after
him and to establish
Jerusalem;
5
because
David
did
what was right
in the sight
of the LORD,
and had not turned aside
from anything
that He commanded
him all
the days
of his life,
except
in the case
of Uriah
the Hittite.
6
There was war
between
Rehoboam
and Jeroboam
all
the days
of his life.
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.
8
And Abijam
slept
with his fathers
and they buried
him in the city
of David;
and Asa
his son
became king
in his place.
9
So in the twentieth
year
of Jeroboam
the king
of Israel,
Asa
began to reign
as king
of Judah.
10
He reigned
forty-one
years
in Jerusalem;
and his mother's
name
was Maacah
the daughter
of Abishalom.
11
Asa
did
what was right
in the sight
of the LORD,
like David
his father.
12
He also put away
the male cult prostitutes
from the land
and removed
all
the idols
which
his fathers
had made.
13
He also
removed
Maacah
his mother
from being queen mother,
because
she had made
a horrid
image
as an Asherah;
and Asa
cut down
her horrid
image
and burned
it at the brook
Kidron.
14
But the high places
were not taken away;
nevertheless
the heart
of Asa
was wholly devoted
to the LORD
all
his days.
15
He brought
into the house
of the LORD
the dedicated
things
of his father
and his own dedicated
things
:
silver
and gold
and utensils.
16
Now there was war
between
Asa
and Baasha
king
of Israel
all
their days.
17
Baasha
king
of Israel
went
up against
Judah
and fortified
Ramah
in order to prevent
anyone from going
out or coming
in to Asa
king
of
Judah
.
18
Then
Asa
took
all
the silver
and the gold
which were 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 Aram,
who lived
in Damascus,
saying,
19
"Let there be a treaty
between
you and me, as
between
my father
and your father.
Behold,
I have sent
you a present
of silver
and gold;
go,
break
your treaty
with Baasha
king
of Israel
so that he will withdraw
from me."
20
So Ben-hadad
listened
to King
Asa
and sent
the commanders
of his armies
against
the cities
of Israel,
and conquered
Ijon,
Dan,
Abel-beth-maacah
and
all
Chinneroth,
besides
all
the land
of Naphtali.
21
When Baasha
heard
of it, he ceased
fortifying
Ramah
and remained
in Tirzah.
22
Then King
Asa
made a proclamation
to all
Judah--
none
was exempt--
and they carried
away the stones
of Ramah
and its timber
with which
Baasha
had
built
.
And King
Asa
built
with them Geba
of Benjamin
and Mizpah.
23
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.
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 place.
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.
26
He did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
and walked
in the way
of his father
and in his sin
which
he made Israel
sin.
27
Then Baasha
the son
of Ahijah
of the house
of Issachar
conspired
against
him, and Baasha
struck him down
at Gibbethon,
which
belonged to the Philistines,
while Nadab
and all
Israel
were laying siege
to Gibbethon.
28
So Baasha
killed
him in the third
year
of Asa
king
of Judah
and reigned
in his place.
29
It came
about as soon as he was king,
he struck down
all
the household
of Jeroboam.
He did not leave
to Jeroboam
any
persons alive,
until
he had destroyed
them, according to the word
of the LORD,
which
He spoke
by His servant
Ahijah
the Shilonite,
30
and because
of the sins
of Jeroboam
which
he sinned,
and
which
he made Israel
sin,
because of his provocation
with
which
he provoked
the LORD
God
of Israel
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?
32
There was war
between
Asa
and Baasha
king
of Israel
all
their days.
33
In the third
year
of Asa
king
of Judah,
Baasha
the son
of Ahijah
became
king
over
all
Israel
at Tirzah,
and reigned twenty-four
years.
34
He did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
and walked
in the way
of Jeroboam
and in his sin
which
he made Israel
sin.
