RF KI1 15:1 (B.C. 958.) The Reign of Abijam in Judah.
Thus in the eighteenth year of King Jerabam-ben-Nebat, Abijam began to reign in Judah.
RF KI1 15:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Makah, the daughter of Abishalom,
RF KI1 15:3 and he went into all the sins that his father did before him, and his heart was not at peace with his EVER-LIVING GOD like his ancestor David.
RF KI1 15:4 However, because of David the EVER-LIVING his GOD gave him a light in Jerusalem by raising his sons after him and fixing them in Jerusalem;
RF KI1 15:5 since David did right in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, and did not turn from anything he was commanded all the time of his life, except in the affair of Uriah the Hitite.
RF KI1 15:6 There was also war between Abijam 1 and Jerabam all they, time of his life.
RF KI1 15:7 But the rest of the affairs of Abijam, and all that he did, are written in the record of the events of the days of the kings of Judah, for there was war between Abijam and Jerabam.
RF KI1 15:8 At last Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David, and Asa his brother 2 reigned in his stead.
RF KI1 15:9 (B.C. 955.) Asa Reigns over Judah.
In the twenty-second year of Jerabam King of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah,
RF KI1 15:10 and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Makah, the daughter of Abishalom.
RF KI1 15:11 Asa, however, did right in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, like David his ancestor,
—————
1 V. 6. This should clearly be "Abijam." The "Rehaboam" of the Hebrew text is an error of transcription.—F.F.
2 V. 8. The "son" of the Hebrew text should be "brother," but for a transcriber's error.—F.F.
RF KI1 15:12 and expelled the Sodomites from the country, and threw down the idols that his father and his mother Makah had made,
RF KI1 15:13 whom he removed from her station, because she had made horrible idols for a shrine; but Asa pulled down the goddesses and burnt them by the brook Kidron.
RF KI1 15:14 He did not, however, overturn the Columns; yet the heart of Asa was at peace with the EVER-LIVING all his days.
RF KI1 15:15 He also brought the ornaments of his father, and adorned the House of the EVER-LIVING with their silver and gold and furniture.
RF KI1 15:16 There was war, however, between Asa and Basha King of Israel all their time,
RF KI1 15:17 and Basha king of Israel, advanced into Judah and built. Raamah so as not to allow an inlet or outlet to Asa king of Judah.
RF KI1 15:18 (B.C. 951.) Consequently Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the House of the EVER-LIVING, and in the treasuries of the King's palace, and put them into the hands of his ministers whom King Asa sent to Ben-Hadad, Ben-Tabimon, Ben-Kazioh, King of Aram, who resided in Damascus, to say,
RF KI1 15:19 "Let there be a treaty between you and I, as between my father and yours; for I have sent to you a present of silver and gold to go and break your alliance with Basha king of Israel, and to bring you to mine."
RF KI1 15:20 Ben-Hadad therefore listened to King Asa, and sent the generals of his forces against the cities of Israel, and captured Aion, and Dan, and Beth-Makah of the meadows, and all Kineroth, with all the country of Nafthali.
RF KI1 15:21 And when Basha heard of at it he abandoned Raamah and occupied Thirtzah.
RF KI1 15:22 Then King Asa proclaimed it to all Judah,—none were exempt—and they carried away the stones and the timber from Raamah with which Basha was building, and King Asa built with them, Geba of Benjamin, and Mitzfah.
RF KI1 15:23 (B.C. 914.) As to the rest of the doings of Asa—his courage, and all that he accomplished, and the towns that he built—they are recorded in the history of the period of the kings of Judah. When he grew old he suffered from gout.
RF KI1 15:24 Then Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David, and instead of him Jhoshafat his son reigned.
RF KI1 15:25 (B.C. 954.) Nadab Reigns over Israel.
Nadab, the son of Jerabam, began to reign over Israel in the seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
RF KI1 15:26 He did wrong in the eyes of the EVER-LIVING, walking in the ways of his father, and sinned, as he caused Israel to sin.
RF KI1 15:27 Then Basha-ben-Akhiah of the House of Issakar conspired against him; and Basha murdered him at Gibethon, belonging to Philistia, while Nadab and the army of Israel were besieging Gibethon.
RF KI1 15:28 So he killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah; and reigned after him;
RF KI1 15:29 and when he was elected he murdered all the House of Jerabam. He left none breathing to Jerabam, until he had destroyed him, as the EVER-LIVING said, when He spoke by the means of His servant Akhiah the Shilonite,
RF KI1 15:30 because of the sin that he caused Israel to sin, by the provocation with which they provoked the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel.
RF KI1 15:31 As for the other affairs of Nadab, and all that he did, they are recorded in the history of events in the times of the kings of Israel.
RF KI1 15:32 There was, however, war between Asa and Basha king of Israel all their time.
RF KI1 15:33 (About B.C. 953.) Basha-ben-Akhiah Reigns over Israel.
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Basha-ben-Akhiah began to reign over all Israel in Thirtzah for fourteen years.
RF KI1 15:34 But he did wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, walking in the ways of Jerabam, and in the sins he caused Israel to sin.
