(2 Chronicles 13:1–3)
1
And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;
2
he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;
3
and he walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;
4
but for David’s sake his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,
5
in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his lifeexcept in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;
6
and there has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7
And the rest of the matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been war between Abijam and Jeroboam;
8
and Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead.

Asa Reigns in Judah

(2 Chronicles 14:1–15; 2 Chronicles 15:8–19)
9
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa has reigned over Judah,
10
and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.
11
And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,
12
and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers made;
13
and also his mother Maachahhe turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron;
14
but the high places have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,
15
and he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: silver, and gold, and vessels.

War between Asa and Baasha

(2 Chronicles 16:1–6)
16
And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,
17
and Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
18
And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
19
A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
20
And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;
21
and it comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.
22
And King Asa has summoned all Judahthere is none exemptand they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

Jehoshaphat Succeeds Asa

(2 Chronicles 17:1–19)
23
And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;
24
and Asa lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead.

Nadab Reigns in Israel

25
And Nadab son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,
26
and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.
27
And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistinesand Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon
28
indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.
29
And it comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30
because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.
31
And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32
And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days.

Baasha Reigns in Israel

33
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-four years,
34
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
(2 Chronicles 13:1–3)
1
Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
2
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
3
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.
4
Nevertheless for David’s sake, the LORD his God gave 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 LORD’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.
6
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
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.
8
Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.

Asa Reigns in Judah

(2 Chronicles 14:1–15; 2 Chronicles 15:8–19)
9
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10
He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
11
Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did.
12
He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
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.
14
But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
15
He brought into the LORD’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.

War between Asa and Baasha

(2 Chronicles 16:1–6)
16
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
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.
18
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’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,
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.”
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.
21
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
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.

Jehoshaphat Succeeds Asa

(2 Chronicles 17:1–19)
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.
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.

Nadab Reigns in Israel

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.
26
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
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.
28
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him and reigned in his place.
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 the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
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 the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
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?
32
There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

Baasha Reigns in Israel

33
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
34
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
