1 Kings 15:1--16:22

Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
Abijam
<038>
over Judah
<03063>_.
Three
<07969>
years
<08141>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
he in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Maachah
<04601>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Abishalom
<053>_.
{Maachah...: also called, Michaiah the daughter of Uriel} {Abishalom: also called, Absalom}
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in all the sins
<02403>
of his father
<01>_,
which he had done
<06213> (8804)
before
<06440>
him: and his heart
<03824>
was not perfect
<08003>
with the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
as the heart
<03824>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
Nevertheless for David's
<01732>
sake did the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
give
<05414> (8804)
him a lamp
<05216>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to set up
<06965> (8687)
his son
<01121>
after
<0310>
him, and to establish
<05975> (8687)
Jerusalem
<03389>_:
{lamp: or, candle}
Because David
<01732>
did
<06213> (8804)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)
from any [thing] that he commanded
<06680> (8765)
him all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_,
save only in the matter
<01697>
of Uriah
<0223>
the Hittite
<02850>_.
And there was war
<04421>
between Rehoboam
<07346>
and Jeroboam
<03379>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Abijam
<038>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
And there was war
<04421>
between Abijam
<038>
and Jeroboam
<03379>_.
And Abijam
<038>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_;
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_:
and Asa
<0609>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And in the twentieth
<06242>
year
<08141>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
Asa
<0609>
over Judah
<03063>_.
And forty
<0705>
and one
<0259>
years
<08141>
reigned
<04427> (8804)
he in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Maachah
<04601>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Abishalom
<053>_.
{mother's: that is, grandmother's}
And Asa
<0609>
did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as [did] David
<01732>
his father
<01>_.
And he took away
<05674> (8686)
the sodomites
<06945>
out of the land
<0776>_,
and removed
<05493> (8686)
all the idols
<01544>
that his fathers
<01>
had made
<06213> (8804)_.
And also Maachah
<04601>
his mother
<0517>_,
even her he removed
<05493> (8686)
from [being] queen
<01377>_,
because she had made
<06213> (8804)
an idol
<04656>
in a grove
<0842>_;
and Asa
<0609>
destroyed
<03772> (8799)
her idol
<04656>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8799)
[it] by the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
{destroyed: Heb. cut off}
But the high places
<01116>
were not removed
<05493> (8804)_:
nevertheless Asa's
<0609>
heart
<03824>
was perfect
<08003>
with the LORD
<03068>
all his days
<03117>_.
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
in the things
<06944> (0)
which his father
<01>
had dedicated
<06944>_,
and the things which himself had dedicated
<06944>_,
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and vessels
<03627>_.
{things: Heb. holy}
And there was war
<04421>
between Asa
<0609>
and Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
all their days
<03117>_.
And Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went up
<05927> (8799)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
Ramah
<07414>_,
that he might not suffer
<05414> (8800)
any to go out
<03318> (8802)
or come in
<0935> (8802)
to Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Then Asa
<0609>
took
<03947> (8799)
all the silver
<03701>
and the gold
<02091>
[that were] left
<03498> (8737)
in the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_:
and king
<04428>
Asa
<0609>
sent
<07971> (8799)
them to Benhadad
<01130>_,
the son
<01121>
of Tabrimon
<02886>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hezion
<02383>_,
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
at Damascus
<01834>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[There is] a league
<01285>
between me and thee, [and] between my father
<01>
and thy father
<01>_:
behold, I have sent
<07971> (8804)
unto thee a present
<07810>
of silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_;
come
<03212> (8798)
and break
<06565> (8685)
thy league
<01285>
with Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that he may depart
<05927> (8799)
from me. {depart: Heb. go up}
So Benhadad
<01130>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto king
<04428>
Asa
<0609>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of the hosts
<02428>
which he had against the cities
<05892>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Ijon
<05859>_,
and Dan
<01835>_,
and Abelbethmaachah
<062>_,
and all Cinneroth
<03672>_,
with all the land
<0776>
of Naphtali
<05321>_.
And it came to pass, when Baasha
<01201>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[thereof], that he left off
<02308> (8799)
building
<01129> (8800)
of Ramah
<07414>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Tirzah
<08656>_.
Then king
<04428>
Asa
<0609>
made a proclamation
<08085> (8689)
throughout all Judah
<03063>_;
none [was] exempted
<05355>_:
and they took
<05375> (8799)
away the stones
<068>
of Ramah
<07414>_,
and the timber
<06086>
thereof, wherewith Baasha
<01201>
had builded
<01129> (8804)_;
and king
<04428>
Asa
<0609>
built
<01129> (8799)
with them Geba
<01387>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and Mizpah
<04709>_.
{exempted: Heb. free}
The rest
<03499>
of all the acts
<01697>
of Asa
<0609>_,
and all his might
<01369>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and the cities
<05892>
which he built
<01129> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
Nevertheless in the time
<06256>
of his old age
<02209>
he was diseased
<02470> (8804)
in his feet
<07272>_.
And Asa
<0609>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat}
And Nadab
<05070>
the son
<01121>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Israel
<03478>
in the second
<08147>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
over Israel
<03478>
two
<08147>
years
<08141>_.
{began...: Heb. reigned}
And he did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of his father
<01>_,
and in his sin
<02403>
wherewith he made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_.
And Baasha
<01201>
the son
<01121>
of Ahijah
<0281>_,
of the house
<01004>
of Issachar
<03485>_,
conspired
<07194> (8799)
against him; and Baasha
<01201>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him at Gibbethon
<01405>_,
which [belonged] to the Philistines
<06430>_;
for Nadab
<05070>
and all Israel
<03478>
laid siege
<06696> (8802)
to Gibbethon
<01405>_.
Even in the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
did Baasha
<01201>
slay
<04191> (8686)
him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And it came to pass, when he reigned
<04427> (8800)_,
[that] he smote
<05221> (8689)
all the house
<01004>
of Jeroboam
<03379>_;
he left
<07604> (8689)
not to Jeroboam
<03379>
any that breathed
<05397>_,
until he had destroyed
<08045> (8689)
him, according unto the saying
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
his servant
<05650>
Ahijah
<0281>
the Shilonite
<07888>_:
Because of the sins
<02403>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
which he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and which he made Israel
<03478>
sin
<02398> (8689)_,
by his provocation
<03708>
wherewith he provoked the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to anger
<03707> (8689)_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Nadab
<05070>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And there was war
<04421>
between Asa
<0609>
and Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
all their days
<03117>_.
In the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
began Baasha
<01201>
the son
<01121>
of Ahijah
<0281>
to reign
<04427> (8804)
over all Israel
<03478>
in Tirzah
<08656>_,
twenty
<06242>
and four
<0702>
years
<08141>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of Jeroboam
<03379>_,
and in his sin
<02403>
wherewith he made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_.
Then the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Hanani
<02607>
against Baasha
<01201>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Forasmuch as I exalted
<07311> (8689)
thee out of the dust
<06083>_,
and made
<05414> (8799)
thee prince
<05057>
over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_;
and thou hast walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of Jeroboam
<03379>_,
and hast made my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8686)_,
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)
with their sins
<02403>_;
Behold, I will take away
<01197> (8686)
the posterity
<0310>
of Baasha
<01201>_,
and the posterity
<0310>
of his house
<01004>_;
and will make
<05414> (8804)
thy house
<01004>
like the house
<01004>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_.
Him that dieth
<04191> (8801)
of Baasha
<01201>
in the city
<05892>
shall the dogs
<03611>
eat
<0398> (8799)_;
and him that dieth
<04191> (8801)
of his in the fields
<07704>
shall the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>
eat
<0398> (8799)_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Baasha
<01201>_,
and what he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and his might
<01369>_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
So Baasha
<01201>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in Tirzah
<08656>_:
and Elah
<0425>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And also by the hand
<03027>
of the prophet
<05030>
Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Hanani
<02607>
came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
against Baasha
<01201>_,
and against his house
<01004>_,
even for all the evil
<07451>
that he did
<06213> (8804)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in provoking him to anger
<03707> (8687)
with the work
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_,
in being like the house
<01004>
of Jeroboam
<03379>_;
and because he killed
<05221> (8689)
him.
In the twenty
<06242> <08141>
and sixth
<08337>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
began Elah
<0425>
the son
<01121>
of Baasha
<01201>
to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Israel
<03478>
in Tirzah
<08656>_,
two years
<08141>_.
And his servant
<05650>
Zimri
<02174>_,
captain
<08269>
of half
<04276>
[his] chariots
<07393>_,
conspired
<07194> (8799)
against him, as he was in Tirzah
<08656>_,
drinking
<08354> (8802)
himself drunk
<07910>
in the house
<01004>
of Arza
<0777>
steward of [his] house
<01004>
in Tirzah
<08656>_.
{steward...: Heb. which was over}
And Zimri
<02174>
went in
<0935> (8799)
and smote
<05221> (8686)
him, and killed
<04191> (8686)
him, in the twenty
<06242>
and seventh
<07651>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And it came to pass, when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
as soon as he sat
<03427> (8800)
on his throne
<03678>_,
[that] he slew
<05221> (8689)
all the house
<01004>
of Baasha
<01201>_:
he left
<07604> (8689)
him not one that pisseth
<08366> (8688)
against a wall
<07023>_,
neither of his kinsfolks
<01350> (8802)_,
nor of his friends
<07453>_.
{neither...: or, both his kinsmen and his friends}
Thus did Zimri
<02174>
destroy
<08045> (8686)
all the house
<01004>
of Baasha
<01201>_,
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
against Baasha
<01201>
by
<03027>
Jehu
<03058>
the prophet
<05030>_,
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
For all the sins
<02403>
of Baasha
<01201>_,
and the sins
<02403>
of Elah
<0425>
his son
<01121>_,
by which they sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and by which they made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_,
in provoking the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to anger
<03707> (8687)
with their vanities
<01892>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Elah
<0425>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
In the twenty
<06242> <08141>
and seventh
<07651>
year
<08141>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
did Zimri
<02174>
reign
<04427> (8804)
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
in Tirzah
<08656>_.
And the people
<05971>
[were] encamped
<02583> (8802)
against Gibbethon
<01405>_,
which [belonged] to the Philistines
<06430>_.
And the people
<05971>
[that were] encamped
<02583> (8802)
heard
<08085> (8799)
say
<0559> (8800)_,
Zimri
<02174>
hath conspired
<07194> (8804)_,
and hath also slain
<05221> (8689)
the king
<04428>_:
wherefore all Israel
<03478>
made Omri
<06018>_,
the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>_,
king
<04427> (8686)
over Israel
<03478>
that day
<03117>
in the camp
<04264>_.
And Omri
<06018>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from Gibbethon
<01405>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, and they besieged
<06696> (8799)
Tirzah
<08656>_.
And it came to pass, when Zimri
<02174>
saw
<07200> (8800)
that the city
<05892>
was taken
<03920> (8738)_,
that he went
<0935> (8799)
into the palace
<0759>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8799)
the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>
over him with fire
<0784>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)_,
For his sins
<02403>
which he sinned
<02398> (8804)
in doing
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in walking
<03212> (8800)
in the way
<01870>
of Jeroboam
<03379>_,
and in his sin
<02403>
which he did
<06213> (8804)_,
to make Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8687)_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Zimri
<02174>_,
and his treason
<07195>
that he wrought
<07194> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_?
Then were the people
<05971>
of Israel
<03478>
divided
<02505> (8735)
into two parts
<02677>_:
half
<02677>
of the people
<05971>
followed
<01961> (8804) <0310>
Tibni
<08402>
the son
<01121>
of Ginath
<01527>_,
to make him king
<04427> (8687)_;
and half
<02677>
followed
<0310>
Omri
<06018>_.
But the people
<05971>
that followed
<0310>
Omri
<06018>
prevailed
<02388> (8799)
against
<0854>
the people
<05971>
that followed
<0310>
Tibni
<08402>
the son
<01121>
of Ginath
<01527>_:
so Tibni
<08402>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and Omri
<06018>
reigned
<04427> (8799)_.
