Book 11 1 Kings Chapter 015

 

015:001Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat
reigned Abijam over Judah.

 

015:002Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

 

015:003And 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.

 

015:004Nevertheless 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:

 

015:005Because 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.

 

015:006And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days
of his life.

 

015:007Now 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.

 

015:008And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the
city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

 

015:009And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned
Asa over Judah.

 

015:010And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

 

015:011And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as
did David his father.

 

015:012And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed
all the idols that his fathers had made.

 

015:013And 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.

 

015:014But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart
was perfect with the LORD all his days.

 

015:015And 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.

 

015:016And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all
their days.

 

015:017And 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.

 

015:018Then 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,

 

015:019There 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.

 

015:020So 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.

 

015:021And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left
off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

 

015:022Then 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.

 

015:023The 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.

 

015:024And 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.

 

015:025And 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.

 

015:026And 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.

 

015:027And 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.

 

015:028Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay
him, and reigned in his stead.

 

015:029And 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:

 

015:030Because 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.

 

015:031Now 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?

 

015:032And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all
their days.

 

015:033In 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.

 

015:034And 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.
