1 Kings 15:2

1
Now in the
eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
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
L
ORD
his God, as the heart of David his father.
4
Nevertheless for David’s sake did the
L
ORD
his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5
Because David did
that which was
right in the eyes of the
L
ORD
, 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.
6
And 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 reigned in his stead.
9
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
10
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11
And Asa did
that which was
right in the eyes of the
L
ORD
, as
did
David his father.
12
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
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.
14
But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the
L
ORD
all his days.
15
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the
L
ORD
, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
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.
18
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold
that were
left in the treasures of the house of the
L
ORD
, and the treasures 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 Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
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.
20
So Ben-hadad 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 Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard
thereof
, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
26
And he did evil in the sight of the
L
ORD
, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
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.
28
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
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
L
ORD
, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
30
Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the
L
ORD
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
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
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.
34
And he did evil in the sight of the
L
ORD
, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
