1 Kings 15

1Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.

2He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.

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 was the heart of David, his father.

4But 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:

5Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite.

6But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.

7And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.

8And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead.

9So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda,

10And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.

11And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father:

12And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

13Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

14But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:

15And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.

16And there was war between Asa, and Baasa, king of Israel, all their days.

17And Baasa, king of Israel, went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in of the side of Asa, king of Juda.

18Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:

19There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa, king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

20Benadad, hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth; that is all the land of Nephthali.

21And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.

22But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them king Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.

23But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

25But Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel the second year of Asa, king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.

26And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

27And Baasa, the son of Ahias, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.

28So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa, king of Juda, and reigned in his place.

29And when he was king, he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite:

30Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence wherewith he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.

31But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

32And there was war between Asa and Baasa, the king of Israel, all their days.

33In the third year of Asa, king of Juda, Baasa, the son of Ahias, reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.

34And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

1Igitur in octavodecimo anno regni Jeroboam filii Nabat, regnavit Abiam super Judam.

2Tribus annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Maacha filia Abessalom.

3Ambulavitque in omnibus peccatis patris sui, quæ fecerat ante eum : nec erat cor ejus perfectum cum Domino Deo suo, sicut cor David patris ejus.

4Sed propter David dedit ei Dominus Deus suus lucernam in Jerusalem, ut suscitaret filium ejus post eum, et statueret Jerusalem:

5eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini, et non declinasset ab omnibus quæ præceperat ei cunctis diebus vitæ suæ, excepto sermone Uriæ Hethæi.

6Attamen bellum fuit inter Roboam et Jeroboam omni tempore vitæ ejus.

7Reliqua autem sermonum Abiam, et omnia quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Juda? Fuitque prælium inter Abiam et inter Jeroboam.

8Et dormivit Abiam cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David, regnavitque Asa filius ejus pro eo.

9In anno ergo vigesimo Jeroboam regis Israël regnavit Asa rex Juda,

10et quadraginta et uno anno regnavit in Jerusalem. Nomen matris ejus Maacha filia Abessalom.

11Et fecit Asa rectum ante conspectum Domini, sicut David pater ejus:

12et abstulit effeminatos de terra, purgavitque universas sordes idolorum quæ fecerant patres ejus.

13Insuper et Maacham matrem suam amovit, ne esset princeps in sacris Priapi, et in luco ejus quem consecraverat : subvertitque specum ejus, et confregit simulacrum turpissimum, et combussit in torrente Cedron:

14excelsa autem non abstulit. Verumtamen cor Asa perfectum erat cum Domino cunctis diebus suis:

15et intulit ea quæ sanctificaverat pater suus, et voverat, in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, et vasa.

16Bellum autem erat inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israël cunctis diebus eorum.

17Ascendit quoque Baasa rex Israël in Judam, et ædificavit Rama, ut non posset quispiam egredi vel ingredi de parte Asa regis Juda.

18Tollens itaque Asa omne argentum et aurum quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini, et in thesauris domus regiæ, et dedit illud in manus servorum suorum : et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremon filii Hezion, regem Syriæ, qui habitabat in Damasco, dicens:

19Fœdus est inter me et te, et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum : ideo misi tibi munera, argentum et aurum : et peto ut venias, et irritum facias fœdus quod habes cum Baasa rege Israël, et recedat a me.

20Acquiescens Benadad regi Asa, misit principes exercitus sui in civitates Israël, et percusserunt Ahion, et Dan, et Abeldomum Maacha, et universam Cenneroth, omnem scilicet terram Nephthali.

21Quod cum audisset Baasa, intermisit ædificare Rama, et reversus est in Thersa.

22Rex autem Asa nuntium misit in omnem Judam, dicens : Nemo sit excusatus. Et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna ejus, quibus ædificaverat Baasa, et exstruxit de eis rex Asa Gabaa Benjamin, et Maspha.

23Reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa, et universæ fortitudines ejus, et cuncta quæ fecit, et civitates quas exstruxit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Juda? Verumtamen in tempore senectutis suæ doluit pedes.

24Et dormivit cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui. Regnavitque Josaphat filius ejus pro eo.

25Nadab vero filius Jeroboam regnavit super Israël anno secundo Asa regis Juda: regnavitque super Israël duobus annis.

26Et fecit quod malum est in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in viis patris sui, et in peccatis ejus quibus peccare fecit Israël.

27Insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahiæ de domo Issachar, et percussit eum in Gebbethon, quæ est urbs Philisthinorum : siquidem Nadab et omnis Israël obsidebant Gebbethon.

28Interfecit ergo illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Juda, et regnavit pro eo.

29Cumque regnasset, percussit omnem domum Jeroboam : non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine ejus donec deleret eum, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiæ Silonitis,

30propter peccata Jeroboam, quæ peccaverat, et quibus peccare fecerat Israël : et propter delictum quo irritaverat Dominum Deum Israël.

31Reliqua autem sermonum Nadab, et omnia quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Israël?

32Fuitque bellum inter Asa, et Baasa regem Israël, cunctis diebus eorum.

33Anno tertio Asa regis Juda, regnavit Baasa filius Ahiæ super omnem Israël in Thersa, viginti quatuor annis.

34Et fecit malum coram Domino, ambulavitque in via Jeroboam, et in peccatis ejus quibus peccare fecit Israël.

1καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ βασιλεύει Αβιου υἱὸς Ροβοαμ ἐπὶ Ιουδα

2καὶ ἓξ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μααχα θυγάτηρ Αβεσσαλωμ

4ὅτι διὰ Δαυιδ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κύριος κατάλειμμα ἵνα στήσῃ τέκνα αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτὸν καὶ στήσῃ τὴν Ιερουσαλημ

7καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Αβιου καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον Αβιου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ιεροβοαμ

8καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αβιου μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ εἰκοστῷ καὶ τετάρτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Ιεροβοαμ καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ βασιλεύει Ασα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ

11καὶ ἐποίησεν Ασα τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου ὡς Δαυιδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

12καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὰς τελετὰς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν πάντα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ

13καὶ τὴν Ανα τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ μετέστησεν τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἡγουμένην καθὼς ἐποίησεν σύνοδον ἐν τῷ ἄλσει αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξέκοψεν Ασα τὰς καταδύσεις αὐτῆς καὶ ἐνέπρησεν πυρὶ ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κεδρων

14τὰ δὲ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῆρεν πλὴν ἡ καρδία Ασα ἦν τελεία μετὰ κυρίου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ

15καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τοὺς κίονας τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς κίονας αὐτοῦ εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἀργυροῦς καὶ χρυσοῦς καὶ σκεύη

16καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον Ασα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Βαασα βασιλέως Ισραηλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

17καὶ ἀνέβη Βαασα βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὴν Ραμα τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἐκπορευόμενον καὶ εἰσπορευόμενον τῷ Ασα βασιλεῖ Ιουδα

18καὶ ἔλαβεν Ασα τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ασα πρὸς υἱὸν Αδερ υἱὸν Ταβερεμμαν υἱοῦ Αζιν βασιλέως Συρίας τοῦ κατοικοῦντος ἐν Δαμασκῷ λέγων

19διάθου διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τοῦ πατρός σου ἰδοὺ ἐξαπέσταλκά σοι δῶρα ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον δεῦρο διασκέδασον τὴν διαθήκην σου τὴν πρὸς Βαασα βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἀπ' ἐμοῦ

20καὶ ἤκουσεν υἱὸς Αδερ τοῦ βασιλέως Ασα καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων τῶν αὐτοῦ ταῖς πόλεσιν τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὴν Αιν καὶ τὴν Δαν καὶ τὴν Αβελμαα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν Χεζραθ ἕως πάσης τῆς γῆς Νεφθαλι

21καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Βαασα καὶ διέλιπεν τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν τὴν Ραμα καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν εἰς Θερσα

22καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ασα παρήγγειλεν παντὶ Ιουδα εἰς Αινακιμ καὶ αἴρουσιν τοὺς λίθους τῆς Ραμα καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾠκοδόμησεν Βαασα καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ασα πᾶν βουνὸν Βενιαμιν καὶ τὴν σκοπιάν

23καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ασα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ ἣν ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα πλὴν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ γήρως αὐτοῦ ἐπόνεσεν τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

24καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ασα καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ βασιλεύει Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ

25καὶ Ναδαβ υἱὸς Ιεροβοαμ βασιλεύει ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τοῦ Ασα βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἔτη δύο

26καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ αἷς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ

27καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὸν Βαασα υἱὸς Αχια ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βελααν καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἐν Γαβαθων τῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ Ναδαβ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ περιεκάθητο ἐπὶ Γαβαθων

28καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν Βαασα ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τοῦ Ασα υἱοῦ Αβιου βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν

29καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐβασίλευσεν καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν οἶκον Ιεροβοαμ καὶ οὐχ ὑπελίπετο πᾶσαν πνοὴν τοῦ Ιεροβοαμ ἕως τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Αχια τοῦ Σηλωνίτου

30περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Ιεροβοαμ ὡς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐν τῷ παροργισμῷ αὐτοῦ ᾧ παρώργισεν τὸν κύριον θεὸν τοῦ Ισραηλ

31καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ναδαβ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ισραηλ

33καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τρίτῳ τοῦ Ασα βασιλέως Ιουδα βασιλεύει Βαασα υἱὸς Αχια ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Θερσα εἴκοσι καὶ τέσσαρα ἔτη

34καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ
