15:1 Now in the eighteenth 8083 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028 reigned 4427 8804 Abijam 38 over Judah 3063.

15:2 Three 7969 years 8141 reigned 4427 8804 he in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Maachah 4601, the daughter 1323 of Abishalom 53.

15:3 And he walked 3212 8799 in all the sins 2403 of his father 1, which he had done 6213 8804 before 6440 him: and his heart 3824 was not perfect 8003 with the LORD 3068 his God 430, as the heart 3824 of David 1732 his father 1.

15:4 Nevertheless for David's 1732 sake did the LORD 3068 his God 430 give 5414 8804 him a lamp 5216 in Jerusalem 3389, to set up 6965 8687 his son 1121 after 310 him, and to establish 5975 8687 Jerusalem 3389:(lamp: or, candle)

15:5 Because David 1732 did 6213 8804 [that which was] right 3477 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068, and turned not aside 5493 8804 from any [thing] that he commanded 6680 8765 him all the days 3117 of his life 2416, save only in the matter 1697 of Uriah 223 the Hittite 2850.

15:6 And there was war 4421 between Rehoboam 7346 and Jeroboam 3379 all the days 3117 of his life 2416.

15:7 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Abijam 38, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063? And there was war 4421 between Abijam 38 and Jeroboam 3379.

15:8 And Abijam 38 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1; and they buried 6912 8799 him in the city 5892 of David 1732: and Asa 609 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:9 And in the twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478 reigned 4427 8804 Asa 609 over Judah 3063.

15:10 And forty 705 and one 259 years 8141 reigned 4427 8804 he in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Maachah 4601, the daughter 1323 of Abishalom 53.(mother's: that is, grandmother's)

15:11 And Asa 609 did 6213 8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068, as [did] David 1732 his father 1.

15:12 And he took away 5674 8686 the sodomites 6945 out of the land 776, and removed 5493 8686 all the idols 1544 that his fathers 1 had made 6213 8804.

15:13 And also Maachah 4601 his mother 517, even her he removed 5493 8686 from [being] queen 1377, because she had made 6213 8804 an idol 4656 in a grove 842; and Asa 609 destroyed 3772 8799 her idol 4656, and burnt 8313 8799 [it] by the brook 5158 Kidron 6939.(destroyed: Heb. cut off)

15:14 But the high places 1116 were not removed 5493 8804: nevertheless Asa's 609 heart 3824 was perfect 8003 with the LORD 3068 all his days 3117.

15:15 And he brought 935 8686 in the things 6944 0 which his father 1 had dedicated 6944, and the things which himself had dedicated 6944, into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, silver 3701, and gold 2091, and vessels 3627.(things: Heb. holy)

15:16 And there was war 4421 between Asa 609 and Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 all their days 3117.

15:17 And Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 went up 5927 8799 against Judah 3063, and built 1129 8799 Ramah 7414, that he might not suffer 5414 8800 any to go out 3318 8802 or come in 935 8802 to Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063.

15:18 Then Asa 609 took 3947 8799 all the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 [that were] left 3498 8737 in the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house 1004, and delivered 5414 8799 them into the hand 3027 of his servants 5650: and king 4428 Asa 609 sent 7971 8799 them to Benhadad 1130, the son 1121 of Tabrimon 2886, the son 1121 of Hezion 2383, king 4428 of Syria 758, that dwelt 3427 8802 at Damascus 1834, saying 559 8800,

15:19 [There is] a league 1285 between me and thee, [and] between my father 1 and thy father 1: behold, I have sent 7971 8804 unto thee a present 7810 of silver 3701 and gold 2091; come 3212 8798 and break 6565 8685 thy league 1285 with Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478, that he may depart 5927 8799 from me.(depart: Heb. go up)

15:20 So Benhadad 1130 hearkened 8085 8799 unto king 4428 Asa 609, and sent 7971 8799 the captains 8269 of the hosts 2428 which he had against the cities 5892 of Israel 3478, and smote 5221 8686 Ijon 5859, and Dan 1835, and Abelbethmaachah 62, and all Cinneroth 3672, with all the land 776 of Naphtali 5321.

15:21 And it came to pass, when Baasha 1201 heard 8085 8800 [thereof], that he left off 2308 8799 building 1129 8800 of Ramah 7414, and dwelt 3427 8799 in Tirzah 8656.

15:22 Then king 4428 Asa 609 made a proclamation 8085 8689 throughout all Judah 3063; none [was] exempted 5355: and they took 5375 8799 away the stones 68 of Ramah 7414, and the timber 6086 thereof, wherewith Baasha 1201 had builded 1129 8804; and king 4428 Asa 609 built 1129 8799 with them Geba 1387 of Benjamin 1144, and Mizpah 4709.(exempted: Heb. free)

15:23 The rest 3499 of all the acts 1697 of Asa 609, and all his might 1369, and all that he did 6213 8804, and the cities 5892 which he built 1129 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063? Nevertheless in the time 6256 of his old age 2209 he was diseased 2470 8804 in his feet 7272.

15:24 And Asa 609 slept 7901 8799 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 8735 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732 his father 1: and Jehoshaphat 3092 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.(Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat)

15:25 And Nadab 5070 the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 began to reign 4427 8804 over Israel 3478 in the second 8147 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and reigned 4427 8799 over Israel 3478 two 8147 years 8141.(began…: Heb. reigned)

15:26 And he did 6213 8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and walked 3212 8799 in the way 1870 of his father 1, and in his sin 2403 wherewith he made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.

15:27 And Baasha 1201 the son 1121 of Ahijah 281, of the house 1004 of Issachar 3485, conspired 7194 8799 against him; and Baasha 1201 smote 5221 8686 him at Gibbethon 1405, which [belonged] to the Philistines 6430; for Nadab 5070 and all Israel 3478 laid siege 6696 8802 to Gibbethon 1405.

15:28 Even in the third 7969 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 did Baasha 1201 slay 4191 8686 him, and reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.

15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned 4427 8800, [that] he smote 5221 8689 all the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379; he left 7604 8689 not to Jeroboam 3379 any that breathed 5397, until he had destroyed 8045 8689 him, according unto the saying 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he spake 1696 8765 by 3027 his servant 5650 Ahijah 281 the Shilonite 7888:

15:30 Because of the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 which he sinned 2398 8804, and which he made Israel 3478 sin 2398 8689, by his provocation 3708 wherewith he provoked the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to anger 3707 8689.

15:31 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Nadab 5070, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

15:32 And there was war 4421 between Asa 609 and Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 all their days 3117.

15:33 In the third 7969 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Baasha 1201 the son 1121 of Ahijah 281 to reign 4427 8804 over all Israel 3478 in Tirzah 8656, twenty 6242 and four 702 years 8141.

15:34 And he did 6213 8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and walked 3212 8799 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam 3379, and in his sin 2403 wherewith he made Israel 3478 to sin 2398 8689.
