  1. 1Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.וּבִשְׁנַת֙ שְׁמֹנֶ֣ה עֶשְׂרֵ֔ה לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ יָרָבְעָ֣ם בֶּן נְבָ֑ט מָלַ֥ךְ אֲבִיָּ֖ם עַל יְהוּדָֽה
  2. 2Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ מַעֲכָ֖ה בַּת אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם
  3. 3And 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.וַיֵּ֕לֶךְ בְּכָל חַטֹּ֥אות אָבִ֖יו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂ֣ה לְפָנָ֑יו וְלֹא הָיָ֨ה לְבָב֤וֹ שָׁלֵם֙ עִם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔יו כִּלְבַ֖ב דָּוִ֥ד אָבִֽיו
  4. 4Nevertheless 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:כִּ֚י לְמַ֣עַן דָּוִ֔ד נָתַן֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהָ֥יו נִ֖יר בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְהָקִ֤ים אֶת בְּנוֹ֙ אַחֲרָ֔יו וּֽלְהַעֲמִ֖יד אֶת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם
  5. 5Because 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.אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֥ה דָוִ֛ד אֶת הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא סָ֞ר מִכֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּ֗הוּ כֹּ֚ל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֔יו רַ֕ק בִּדְבַ֖ר אוּרִיָּ֥ה הַחִתִּֽי
  6. 6And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֧ה בֵין רְחַבְעָ֛ם וּבֵ֥ין יָרָבְעָ֖ם כָּל יְמֵ֥י חַיָּֽיו
  7. 7Now 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.וְיֶ֨תֶר דִּבְרֵ֤י אֲבִיָּם֙ וְכָל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה הֲלֽוֹא הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וּמִלְחָמָ֥ה הָיְתָ֛ה בֵּ֥ין אֲבִיָּ֖ם וּבֵ֥ין יָרָבְעָֽם
  8. 8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב אֲבִיָּם֙ עִם אֲבֹתָ֔יו וַיִּקְבְּר֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֑ד וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ אָסָ֥א בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו
  9. 9And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.וּבִשְׁנַ֣ת עֶשְׂרִ֔ים לְיָרָבְעָ֖ם מֶ֣לֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מָלַ֥ךְ אָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה
  10. 10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.וְאַרְבָּעִ֤ים וְאַחַת֙ שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ מַעֲכָ֖ה בַּת אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם
  11. 11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.וַיַּ֧עַשׂ אָסָ֛א הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כְּדָוִ֖ד אָבִֽיו
  12. 12And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.וַיַּעֲבֵ֥ר הַקְּדֵשִׁ֖ים מִן הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיָּ֨סַר֙ אֶת כָּל הַגִּלֻּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשׂ֖וּ אֲבֹתָֽיו
  13. 13And 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.וְגַ֣ם אֶת מַעֲכָ֣ה אִמּ֗וֹ וַיְסִרֶ֨הָ֙ מִגְּבִירָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר עָשְׂתָ֥ה מִפְלֶ֖צֶת לָאֲשֵׁרָ֑ה וַיִּכְרֹ֤ת אָסָא֙ אֶת מִפְלַצְתָּ֔הּ וַיִּשְׂרֹ֖ף בְּנַ֥חַל קִדְרֽוֹן
  14. 14But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.וְהַבָּמ֖וֹת לֹא סָ֑רוּ רַ֣ק לְבַב אָסָ֗א הָיָ֥ה שָׁלֵ֛ם עִם יְהוָ֖ה כָּל יָמָֽיו
  15. 15And 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.וַיָּבֵא֙ אֶת קָדְשֵׁ֣י אָבִ֔יו וקדשו וְקָדְשֵׁ֖י בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה כֶּ֥סֶף וְזָהָ֖ב וְכֵלִֽים
  16. 16And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֜ה בֵּ֣ין אָסָ֗א וּבֵ֛ין בַּעְשָׁ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כָּל יְמֵיהֶֽם
  17. 17And 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.וַיַּ֨עַל בַּעְשָׁ֤א מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַל יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיִּ֖בֶן אֶת הָרָמָ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֗י תֵּ֚ת יֹצֵ֣א וָבָ֔א לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה
  18. 18Then 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,וַיִּקַּ֣ח אָ֠סָא אֶת כָּל הַכֶּ֨סֶף וְהַזָּהָ֜ב הַֽנּוֹתָרִ֣ים בְּאוֹצְר֣וֹת בֵּית יְהוָ֗ה וְאֶת אֽוֹצְרוֹת֙ בֵּ֣ית מלך הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֖ם בְּיַד עֲבָדָ֑יו וַיִּשְׁלָחֵ֞ם הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֗א אֶל הֲ֠דַד בֶּן טַבְרִמֹּ֤ן בֶּן חֶזְיוֹן֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם הַיֹּשֵׁ֥ב בְּדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק לֵאמֹֽר
  19. 19There 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.בְּרִית֙ בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ בֵּ֥ין אָבִ֖י וּבֵ֣ין אָבִ֑יךָ הִנֵּה֩ שָׁלַ֨חְתִּֽי שֹׁ֨חַד֙ כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֔ב לֵ֣ךְ הָפֵ֗רָה אֶת בְּרִֽיתְךָ֙ אֶת בַּעְשָׁ֣א מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְיַעֲלֶ֖ה מֵעָלָֽי
  20. 20So 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.וַיִּשְׁמַ֨ע הֲדַ֜ד אֶל הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֗א וַ֠יִּשְׁלַח אֶת שָׂרֵ֨י הַחֲיָלִ֤ים אֲשֶׁר עַל עָרֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּךְ֙ אֶת עִיּ֣וֹן וְאֶת דָּ֔ן וְאֵ֖ת מַעֲכָ֑ה וְאֵת֙ כָּל כִּנְר֔וֹת עַ֖ל כָּל אֶ֥רֶץ נַפְתָּלִֽי
  21. 21And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.וַֽיְהִי֙ כִּשְׁמֹ֣עַ בַּעְשָׁ֔א וַיֶּחְדַּ֕ל מִבְּנ֖וֹת אֶת הָֽרָמָ֑ה וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב בְּתִרְצָֽה
  22. 22Then 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.וְהַמֶּ֨לֶךְ אָסָ֜א הִשְׁמִ֤יעַ אֶת כָּל יְהוּדָה֙ אֵ֣ין נָקִ֔י וַיִּשְׂא֞וּ אֶת אַבְנֵ֤י הָֽרָמָה֙ וְאֶת עֵצֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּעְשָׁ֑א וַיִּ֤בֶן הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָסָ֔א אֶת גֶּ֥בַע בִּנְיָמִ֖ן וְאֶת הַמִּצְפָּֽה
  23. 23The 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.וְיֶ֣תֶר כָּל דִּבְרֵֽי אָ֠סָא וְכָל גְּב֨וּרָת֜וֹ וְכָל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֗ה וְהֶֽעָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּנָ֔ה הֲלֹֽא הֵ֣מָּה כְתוּבִ֗ים עַל סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה רַ֚ק לְעֵ֣ת זִקְנָת֔וֹ חָלָ֖ה אֶת רַגְלָֽיו
  24. 24And 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.וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב אָסָא֙ עִם אֲבֹתָ֔יו וַיִּקָּבֵר֙ עִם אֲבֹתָ֔יו בְּעִ֖יר דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑יו וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֥ט בְּנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו
  25. 25And 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.וְנָדָ֣ב בֶּן יָרָבְעָ֗ם מָלַךְ֙ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בִּשְׁנַ֣ת שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיִּמְלֹ֥ךְ עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שְׁנָתָֽיִם
  26. 26And 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.וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אָבִ֔יו וּ֨בְחַטָּאת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  27. 27And 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.וַיִּקְשֹׁ֨ר עָלָ֜יו בַּעְשָׁ֤א בֶן אֲחִיָּה֙ לְבֵ֣ית יִשָּׂשכָ֔ר וַיַּכֵּ֣הוּ בַעְשָׁ֔א בְּגִבְּת֖וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וְנָדָב֙ וְכָל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל צָרִ֖ים עַֽל גִּבְּתֽוֹן
  28. 28Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.וַיְמִתֵ֣הוּ בַעְשָׁ֔א בִּשְׁנַ֣ת שָׁלֹ֔שׁ לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיִּמְלֹ֖ךְ תַּחְתָּֽיו
  29. 29And 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:וַיְהִ֣י כְמָלְכ֗וֹ הִכָּה֙ אֶת כָּל בֵּ֣ית יָרָבְעָ֔ם לֹֽא הִשְׁאִ֧יר כָּל נְשָׁמָ֛ה לְיָרָבְעָ֖ם עַד הִשְׁמִד֑וֹ כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֔ר בְּיַד עַבְדּ֖וֹ אֲחִיָּ֥ה הַשִּׁילֹנִֽי
  30. 30Because 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.עַל חַטֹּ֤אות יָרָבְעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חָטָ֔א וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּכַעְס֕וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִכְעִ֔יס אֶת יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  31. 31Now 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?וְיֶ֛תֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י נָדָ֖ב וְכָל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה הֲלֹא הֵ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֗ים עַל סֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לְמַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  32. 32And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה הָיְתָ֜ה בֵּ֣ין אָסָ֗א וּבֵ֛ין בַּעְשָׁ֥א מֶֽלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כָּל יְמֵיהֶֽם
  33. 33In 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.בִּשְׁנַ֣ת שָׁלֹ֔שׁ לְאָסָ֖א מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה מָ֠לַךְ בַּעְשָׁ֨א בֶן אֲחִיָּ֤ה עַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּתִרְצָ֔ה עֶשְׂרִ֥ים וְאַרְבַּ֖ע שָׁנָֽה
  34. 34And 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.וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ֙ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יָרָבְעָ֔ם וּ֨בְחַטָּאת֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶחֱטִ֖יא אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
