 15:1 ¶ Now in the eighteenth 8083 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028 reigned 4427 z8804 Abijam 38 over x5921 Judah. 3063

 15:2 Three 7969 years 8141 reigned 4427 z8804 he in Jerusalem. 3389 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Maachah, 4601 the daughter 1323 of Abishalom. 53

 15:3 And he walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in all x3605 the sins 2403 of his father, 1 which x834 he had done 6213 z8804 before 6440 him: and his heart 3824 was x1961 not x3808 perfect 8003 with x5973 the LORD 3068 his God, 430 as the heart 3824 of David 1732 his father. 1

 15:4 Nevertheless x3588 for David's y1732 sake x4616 x1732 did the LORD 3068 his God 430 give 5414 z8804 him a lamp 5216 in Jerusalem, 3389 to set up 6965 z8687 x853 his son 1121 after 310 him, and to establish 5975 z8687 x853 Jerusalem: 3389

 15:5 Because x834 David 1732 did 6213 z8804 [that which was] x853 right 3477 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and turned not aside 5493 z8804 x3808 from any x4480 x3605 [thing] that x834 he commanded 6680 z8765 him all x3605 the days 3117 of his life, 2416 save only x7535 in the matter 1697 of Uriah 223 the Hittite. 2850

 15:6 And there was x1961 war 4421 between x996 Rehoboam 7346 and Jeroboam 3379 all x3605 the days 3117 of his life. 2416

 15:7 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Abijam, 38 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah? 3063 And there was x1961 war 4421 between x996 Abijam 38 and Jeroboam. 3379

 15:8 And Abijam 38 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers; 1 and they buried 6912 z8799 him in the city 5892 of David: 1732 and Asa 609 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 15:9 ¶ And in the twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478 reigned 4427 z8804 x4428 Asa 609 over Judah. 3063

 15:10 And forty 705 and one 259 years 8141 reigned 4427 z8804 he in Jerusalem. 3389 And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Maachah, 4601 the daughter 1323 of Abishalom. 53

 15:11 And Asa 609 did 6213 z8799 [that which was] right 3477 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD, 3068 as [did] David 1732 his father. 1

 15:12 And he took away 5674 z8686 the sodomites 6945 out of x4480 the land, 776 and removed 5493 z8686 x853 all x3605 the idols 1544 that x834 his fathers 1 had made. 6213 z8804

 15:13 And also x1571 x853 Maachah 4601 his mother, 517 even her he removed 5493 z8686 from [being] queen, 1377 x4480 because x834 she had made 6213 z8804 an idol 4656 in a grove; 842 and Asa 609 destroyed 3772 z8799 x853 her idol, 4656 and burnt 8313 z8799 [it] by the brook 5158 Kidron. 6939

 15:14 But the high places 1116 were not x3808 removed: 5493 z8804 nevertheless x7535 Asa's 609 heart 3824 was x1961 perfect 8003 with x5973 the LORD 3068 all x3605 his days. 3117

 15:15 And he brought y935 z8686 in x935 x853 the things y6944 z0 which his father 1 had dedicated, 6944 and the things which himself had dedicated, 6944 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 silver, 3701 and gold, 2091 and vessels. 3627

 15:16 ¶ And there was x1961 war 4421 between x996 Asa 609 and Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 all x3605 their days. 3117

 15:17 And Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 went up 5927 z8799 against x5921 Judah, 3063 and built 1129 z8799 x853 Ramah, 7414 that he might not x1115 suffer 5414 z8800 any to go out 3318 z8802 or come in 935 z8802 to Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah. 3063

 15:18 Then Asa 609 took 3947 z8799 x853 all x3605 the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 [that were] left 3498 z8737 in the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house, 1004 and delivered 5414 z8799 them into the hand 3027 of his servants: 5650 and king 4428 Asa 609 sent 7971 z8799 them to x413 Benhadad, 1130 the son 1121 of Tabrimon, 2886 the son 1121 of Hezion, 2383 king 4428 of Syria, 758 that dwelt 3427 z8802 at Damascus, 1834 saying, 559 z8800

 15:19 [There is] a league 1285 between x996 me and thee, [and] between x996 my father 1 and thy father: 1 behold, x2009 I have sent 7971 z8804 unto thee a present 7810 of silver 3701 and gold; 2091 come y3212 z8798 x1980 and break 6565 z8685 x853 thy league 1285 with x854 Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 that he may depart 5927 z8799 from x4480 x5921 me.

 15:20 So Benhadad 1130 hearkened 8085 z8799 unto x413 king 4428 Asa, 609 and sent 7971 z8799 x853 the captains 8269 of the hosts 2428 which x834 he had against x5921 the cities 5892 of Israel, 3478 and smote 5221 z8686 x853 Ijon, 5859 and Dan, 1835 and Abelbethmaachah, 62 and all x3605 Cinneroth, 3672 with x5921 all x3605 the land 776 of Naphtali. 5321

 15:21 And it came to pass, x1961 when Baasha 1201 heard 8085 z8800 [thereof], that he left off 2308 z8799 building 1129 z8800 x4480 of x853 Ramah, 7414 and dwelt 3427 z8799 in Tirzah. 8656

 15:22 Then king 4428 Asa 609 made a proclamation 8085 z8689 throughout x853 all x3605 Judah; 3063 none x369 [was] exempted: 5355 and they took y5375 z8799 away x5375 x853 the stones 68 of Ramah, 7414 and the timber 6086 thereof, wherewith x834 Baasha 1201 had builded; 1129 z8804 and king 4428 Asa 609 built 1129 z8799 with them x853 Geba 1387 of Benjamin, 1144 and Mizpah. 4709

 15:23 The rest 3499 of all x3605 the acts 1697 of Asa, 609 and all x3605 his might, 1369 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 and the cities 5892 which x834 he built, 1129 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah? 3063 Nevertheless x7535 in the time 6256 of his old age 2209 he was diseased 2470 z8804 in x853 his feet. 7272

 15:24 And Asa 609 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 with x5973 his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732 his father: 1 and Jehoshaphat 3092 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 15:25 ¶ And Nadab 5070 the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 began to reign 4427 z8804 over x5921 Israel 3478 in the second 8147 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 and reigned 4427 z8799 over x5921 Israel 3478 two y8147 years. 8141

 15:26 And he did 6213 z8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of his father, 1 and in his sin 2403 wherewith x834 he made Israel y3478 to sin. 2398 z8689 x853 x3478

 15:27 ¶ And Baasha 1201 the son 1121 of Ahijah, 281 of the house 1004 of Issachar, 3485 conspired 7194 z8799 against x5921 him; and Baasha 1201 smote 5221 z8686 him at Gibbethon, 1405 which x834 [belonged] to the Philistines; 6430 for Nadab 5070 and all x3605 Israel 3478 laid siege 6696 z8802 to x5921 Gibbethon. 1405

 15:28 Even in the third 7969 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 did Baasha 1201 slay 4191 z8686 him, and reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 15:29 And it came to pass, x1961 when he reigned, 4427 z8800 [that] he smote 5221 z8689 x853 all x3605 the house 1004 of Jeroboam; 3379 he left 7604 z8689 not x3808 to Jeroboam 3379 any x3605 that breathed, 5397 until x5704 he had destroyed 8045 z8689 him, according unto the saying 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 his servant 5650 Ahijah 281 the Shilonite: 7888

 15:30 Because x5921 of the sins 2403 of Jeroboam 3379 which x834 he sinned, 2398 z8804 and which x834 he made Israel y3478 sin, 2398 z8689 x853 x3478 by his provocation 3708 wherewith x834 he provoked x3707 x853 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to anger. y3707 z8689

 15:31 ¶ Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Nadab, 5070 and all x3605 that x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Israel? 3478

 15:32 And there was x1961 war 4421 between x996 Asa 609 and Baasha 1201 king 4428 of Israel 3478 all x3605 their days. 3117

 15:33 In the third 7969 year 8141 of Asa 609 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began Baasha 1201 the son 1121 of Ahijah 281 to reign 4427 z8804 over x5921 all x3605 Israel 3478 in Tirzah, 8656 twenty 6242 and four 702 years. 8141

 15:34 And he did 6213 z8799 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of Jeroboam, 3379 and in his sin 2403 wherewith x834 he made Israel y3478 to sin. 2398 z8689 x853 x3478
