KJVNow in the eighteenth^H8083^H6240 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Jeroboam^H3379 the son^H1121 of Nebat^H5028 reigned^H4427^(H8804) Abijam^H38 over Judah^H3063.

² He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

KJVThree^H7969 years^H8141 reigned^H4427^(H8804) he in Jerusalem^H3389. And his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Maachah^H4601, the daughter^H1323 of Abishalom^H53.

³ He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as the heart of David his father.

KJVAnd he walked^H3212^(H8799) in all the sins^H2403 of his father^H1, which he had done^H6213^(H8804) before^H6440 him: and his heart^H3824 was not perfect^H8003 with the LORD^H3068 his God^H430, as the heart^H3824 of David^H1732 his father^H1.

⁴ Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

KJVNevertheless for David's^H1732 sake did the LORD^H3068 his God^H430 give^H5414^(H8804) him a lamp^H5216 in Jerusalem^H3389, to set up^H6965^(H8687) his son^H1121 after^H310 him, and to establish^H5975^(H8687) Jerusalem^H3389:

⁵ because David did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

KJVBecause David^H1732 did^H6213^(H8804) that which was right^H3477 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and turned not aside^H5493^(H8804) from any thing that he commanded^H6680^(H8765) him all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416, save only in the matter^H1697 of Uriah^H223 the Hittite^H2850.

⁶ Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

KJVAnd there was war^H4421 between Rehoboam^H7346 and Jeroboam^H3379 all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416.

⁷ The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Abijam^H38, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063? And there was war^H4421 between Abijam^H38 and Jeroboam^H3379.

⁸ Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

KJVAnd Abijam^H38 slept^H7901^(H8799) with his fathers^H1; and they buried^H6912^(H8799) him in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Asa^H609 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

⁹ In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.

KJVAnd in the twentieth^H6242 year^H8141 of Jeroboam^H3379 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 reigned^H4427^(H8804) Asa^H609 over Judah^H3063.

¹⁰ He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

KJVAnd forty^H705 and one^H259 years^H8141 reigned^H4427^(H8804) he in Jerusalem^H3389. And his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Maachah^H4601, the daughter^H1323 of Abishalom^H53.

¹¹ Asa did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, as David his father did.

KJVAnd Asa^H609 did^H6213^(H8799) that which was right^H3477 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, as did David^H1732 his father^H1.

¹² He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

KJVAnd he took away^H5674^(H8686) the sodomites^H6945 out of the land^H776, and removed^H5493^(H8686) all the idols^H1544 that his fathers^H1 had made^H6213^(H8804).

¹³ He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

KJVAnd also Maachah^H4601 his mother^H517, even her he removed^H5493^(H8686) from being queen^H1377, because she had made^H6213^(H8804) an idol^H4656 in a grove^H842; and Asa^H609 destroyed^H3772^(H8799) her idol^H4656, and burnt^H8313^(H8799) it by the brook^H5158 Kidron^H6939.

¹⁴ But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.

KJVBut the high places^H1116 were not removed^H5493^(H8804): nevertheless Asa's^H609 heart^H3824 was perfect^H8003 with the LORD^H3068 all his days^H3117.

¹⁵ He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

KJVAnd he brought^H935^(H8686) in the things^H6944 which his father^H1 had dedicated^H6944, and the things which himself had dedicated^H6944, into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, silver^H3701, and gold^H2091, and vessels^H3627.

¹⁶ There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

KJVAnd there was war^H4421 between Asa^H609 and Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 all their days^H3117.

¹⁷ Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

KJVAnd Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 went up^H5927^(H8799) against Judah^H3063, and built^H1129^(H8799) Ramah^H7414, that he might not suffer^H5414^(H8800) any to go out^H3318^(H8802) or come in^H935^(H8802) to Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063.

¹⁸ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

KJVThen Asa^H609 took^H3947^(H8799) all the silver^H3701 and the gold^H2091 that were left^H3498^(H8737) in the treasures^H214 of the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and the treasures^H214 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and delivered^H5414^(H8799) them into the hand^H3027 of his servants^H5650: and king^H4428 Asa^H609 sent^H7971^(H8799) them to Benhadad^H1130, the son^H1121 of Tabrimon^H2886, the son^H1121 of Hezion^H2383, king^H4428 of Syria^H758, that dwelt^H3427^(H8802) at Damascus^H1834, saying^H559^(H8800),

¹⁹ “Let there be a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

KJVThere is a league^H1285 between me and thee, and between my father^H1 and thy father^H1: behold, I have sent^H7971^(H8804) unto thee a present^H7810 of silver^H3701 and gold^H2091; come^H3212^(H8798) and break^H6565^(H8685) thy league^H1285 with Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, that he may depart^H5927^(H8799) from me.

²⁰ Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

KJVSo Benhadad^H1130 hearkened^H8085^(H8799) unto king^H4428 Asa^H609, and sent^H7971^(H8799) the captains^H8269 of the hosts^H2428 which he had against the cities^H5892 of Israel^H3478, and smote^H5221^(H8686) Ijon^H5859, and Dan^H1835, and Abelbethmaachah^H62, and all Cinneroth^H3672, with all the land^H776 of Naphtali^H5321.

²¹ When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

KJVAnd it came to pass, when Baasha^H1201 heard^H8085^(H8800) thereof, that he left off^H2308^(H8799) building^H1129^(H8800) of Ramah^H7414, and dwelt^H3427^(H8799) in Tirzah^H8656.

²² Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

KJVThen king^H4428 Asa^H609 made a proclamation^H8085^(H8689) throughout all Judah^H3063; none was exempted^H5355: and they took^H5375^(H8799) away the stones^H68 of Ramah^H7414, and the timber^H6086 thereof, wherewith Baasha^H1201 had builded^H1129^(H8804); and king^H4428 Asa^H609 built^H1129^(H8799) with them Geba^H1387 of Benjamin^H1144, and Mizpah^H4709.

²³ Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

KJVThe rest^H3499 of all the acts^H1697 of Asa^H609, and all his might^H1369, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), and the cities^H5892 which he built^H1129^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063? Nevertheless in the time^H6256 of his old age^H2209 he was diseased^H2470^(H8804) in his feet^H7272.

²⁴ Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

KJVAnd Asa^H609 slept^H7901^(H8799) with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912^(H8735) with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732 his father^H1: and Jehoshaphat^H3092 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

²⁵ Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

KJVAnd Nadab^H5070 the son^H1121 of Jeroboam^H3379 began to reign^H4427^(H8804) over Israel^H3478 in the second^H8147 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and reigned^H4427^(H8799) over Israel^H3478 two^H8147 years^H8141.

²⁶ He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

KJVAnd he did^H6213^(H8799) evil^H7451 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, and walked^H3212^(H8799) in the way^H1870 of his father^H1, and in his sin^H2403 wherewith he made Israel^H3478 to sin^H2398^(H8689).

²⁷ Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.

KJVAnd Baasha^H1201 the son^H1121 of Ahijah^H281, of the house^H1004 of Issachar^H3485, conspired^H7194^(H8799) against him; and Baasha^H1201 smote^H5221^(H8686) him at Gibbethon^H1405, which belonged to the Philistines^H6430; for Nadab^H5070 and all Israel^H3478 laid siege^H6696^(H8802) to Gibbethon^H1405.

²⁸ Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.

KJVEven in the third^H7969 year^H8141 of Asa^H609 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 did Baasha^H1201 slay^H4191^(H8686) him, and reigned^H4427^(H8799) in his stead.

²⁹ As soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

KJVAnd it came to pass, when he reigned^H4427^(H8800), that he smote^H5221^(H8689) all the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379; he left^H7604^(H8689) not to Jeroboam^H3379 any that breathed^H5397, until he had destroyed^H8045^(H8689) him, according unto the saying^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696^(H8765) by^H3027 his servant^H5650 Ahijah^H281 the Shilonite^H7888:

³⁰ for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger.

KJVBecause of the sins^H2403 of Jeroboam^H3379 which he sinned^H2398^(H8804), and which he made Israel^H3478 sin^H2398^(H8689), by his provocation^H3708 wherewith he provoked the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 to anger^H3707^(H8689).

³¹ Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

KJVNow the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Nadab^H5070, and all that he did^H6213^(H8804), are they not written^H3789^(H8803) in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^H1697^H3117 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478?

³² There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

KJVAnd there was war^H4421 between Asa^H609 and Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 all their days^H3117.

WEB·1 Kings 14

¹At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.

KJVAt that time^H6256 Abijah^H29 the son^H1121 of Jeroboam^H3379 fell sick^H2470^(H8804).

² Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people.

KJVAnd Jeroboam^H3379 said^H559^(H8799) to his wife^H802, Arise^H6965^(H8798), I pray thee, and disguise^H8138^(H8690) thyself, that thou be not known^H3045^(H8799) to be the wife^H802 of Jeroboam^H3379; and get^H1980^(H8804) thee to Shiloh^H7887: behold, there is Ahijah^H281 the prophet^H5030, which told^H1696^(H8765) me that I should be king^H4428 over this people^H5971.

³ Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”

KJVAnd take^H3947^(H8804) with thee^H3027 ten^H6235 loaves^H3899, and cracknels^H5350, and a cruse^H1228 of honey^H1706, and go^H935^(H8804) to him: he shall tell^H5046^(H8686) thee what shall become of the child^H5288.

⁴ Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

KJVAnd Jeroboam's^H3379 wife^H802 did so^H6213^(H8799), and arose^H6965^(H8799), and went^H3212^(H8799) to Shiloh^H7887, and came^H935^(H8799) to the house^H1004 of Ahijah^H281. But Ahijah^H281 could^H3201^(H8804) not see^H7200^(H8800); for his eyes^H5869 were set^H6965^(H8804) by reason of his age^H7869.

⁵ Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.”

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 said^H559^(H8804) unto Ahijah^H281, Behold, the wife^H802 of Jeroboam^H3379 cometh^H935^(H8802) to ask^H1875^(H8800) a thing^H1697 of thee for her son^H1121; for he is sick^H2470^(H8802): thus^H2090 and thus shalt thou say^H1696^(H8762) unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in^H935^(H8800), that she shall feign herself to be another^H5234^(H8693) woman.

⁶ So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.

KJVAnd it was so, when Ahijah^H281 heard^H8085^(H8800) the sound^H6963 of her feet^H7272, as she came in^H935^(H8802) at the door^H6607, that he said^H559^(H8799), Come in^H935^(H8798), thou wife^H802 of Jeroboam^H3379; why feignest thou thyself to be another^H5234^(H8693)? for I am sent^H7971^(H8803) to thee with heavy^H7186 tidings.

⁷ Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,

KJVGo^H3212^(H8798), tell^H559^(H8798) Jeroboam^H3379, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, Forasmuch as^H3282 I exalted^H7311^(H8689) thee from among^H8432 the people^H5971, and made^H5414^(H8799) thee prince^H5057 over my people^H5971 Israel^H3478,

⁸ and tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my eyes,

KJVAnd rent^H7167 the kingdom^H4467 away^H7167^(H8799) from the house^H1004 of David^H1732, and gave^H5414^(H8799) it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant^H5650 David^H1732, who kept^H8104^(H8804) my commandments^H4687, and who followed^H1980^(H8804)^H310 me with all his heart^H3824, to do^H6213^(H8800) that only which was right^H3477 in mine eyes^H5869;

⁹ but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back,

KJVBut hast done^H6213^(H8800) evil^H7489^(H8686) above all that were before^H6440 thee: for thou hast gone^H3212^(H8799) and made^H6213^(H8799) thee other^H312 gods^H430, and molten images^H4541, to provoke me to anger^H3707^(H8687), and hast cast^H7993^(H8689) me behind^H310 thy back^H1458:

¹⁰ therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone.

KJVTherefore, behold, I will bring^H935^(H8688) evil^H7451 upon the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379, and will cut off^H3772^(H8689) from Jeroboam^H3379 him that pisseth^H8366^(H8688) against the wall^H7023, and him that is shut up^H6113^(H8803) and left^H5800^(H8803) in Israel^H3478, and will take away^H1197^(H8765) the remnant^H310 of the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379, as a man taketh away^H1197^(H8762) dung^H1557, till it be all gone^H8552^(H8800).

¹¹ The dogs will eat whoever belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat whoever dies in the field, for Yahweh has spoken it.”’

KJVHim that dieth^H4191^(H8801) of Jeroboam^H3379 in the city^H5892 shall the dogs^H3611 eat^H398^(H8799); and him that dieth^H4191^(H8801) in the field^H7704 shall the fowls^H5775 of the air^H8064 eat^H398^(H8799): for the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696^(H8765) it.

¹² Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will die.

KJVArise^H6965^(H8798) thou therefore, get^H3212^(H8798) thee to thine own house^H1004: and when thy feet^H7272 enter^H935^(H8800) into the city^H5892, the child^H3206 shall die^H4191^(H8804).

¹³ All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

KJVAnd all Israel^H3478 shall mourn^H5594^(H8804) for him, and bury^H6912^(H8804) him: for he only of Jeroboam^H3379 shall come^H935^(H8799) to the grave^H6913, because in him there is found^H4672^(H8738) some good^H2896 thing^H1697 toward the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 in the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379.
