1 Kings 15:1-26

15:1

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>_.

15:2

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}

15:3

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>_.

15:4

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}

15:5

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>_.

15:6

And there was war
<04421>

between Rehoboam
<07346>

and Jeroboam
<03379>

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

15:7

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>_.

15:8

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.

15:9

And in the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Asa
<0609>

over Judah
<03063>_.

15:10

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}

15:11

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>_.

15:12

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)_.

15:13

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}

15:14

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>_.

15:15

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}

15:16

And there was war
<04421>

between Asa
<0609>

and Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

all their days
<03117>_.

15:17

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>_.

15:18

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)_,

15:19

[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}

15:20

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>_.

15:21

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>_.

15:22

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}

15:23

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>_.

15:24

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}

15:25

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}

15:26

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)_.
