1 مُلُوك 22
| وَانْقَضَتْ ثَلاثُ سَنَوَاتٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَنْشَبَ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَرَامَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
| وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَدِمَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِزِيَارَةِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٢ 2 |
However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «أَتَدْرُونَ أَنَّ رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ هِيَ لَنَا، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً لاِسْتِرْجَاعِهَا مِنْ أَرَامَ؟» | ٣ 3 |
who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
| وَسَأَلَ آخْابُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ: «هَلْ تَشْتَرِكُ مَعِي فِي الْحَرْبِ لاِسْتِرْجَاعِ رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «مَثَلِي مَثَلُكَ: شَعْبِي كَشَعْبِكَ وَخَيْلِي كَخَيْلِكَ». | ٤ 4 |
So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اطْلُبِ الْيَوْمَ مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ». | ٥ 5 |
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
| فَجَمَعَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةٍ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ الأَصْنَامِ وَسَأَلَهُمْ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ أَمْ أَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَأَجَابُوهُ: «اذْهَبْ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَنْصُرُكَ وَيُسَلِّمُهَا لَكَ». | ٦ 6 |
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
| فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «أَلا يُوْجَدُ هُنَا بَعْدُ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ فَنَسْأَلَهُ الْمَشُورَةَ؟» | ٧ 7 |
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
| فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «يُوْجَدُ بَعْدُ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ، يُمْكِنُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ أَنْ نَطْلُبَ مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنِّي أَمْقُتُهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ. إِنَّهُ مِيخَا بْنُ يَمْلَةَ». فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «لا تَقُلْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». | ٨ 8 |
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
| فَأَمَرَ آخْابُ أَحَدَ رِجَالِهِ بِاسْتِدْعَاءِ مِيخَا بنِ يَمْلَةَ. | ٩ 9 |
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
| وَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشٍ فِي سَاحَةٍ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ السَّامِرَةِ، وَقَدِ ارْتَدَيَا حُلَلَهُمَا الْمَلَكِيَّةَ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ جَمِيعُهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ أَمَامَهُمَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
| وَصَنَعَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَرْنَيْ حَدِيدٍ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: بِهَذِهِ تَنْطَحُ الأَرَامِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَهْلِكُوا». | ١١ 11 |
Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
| وَتَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ قَائِلِينَ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ». | ١٢ 12 |
And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
| وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ لاِسْتِدْعَاءِ مِيخَا: «لَقَدْ تَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ مُبَشِّرِينَ الْمَلِكَ بِالْخَيْرِ، فَلْيَكُنْ كَلامُكَ مُوَافِقاً لِكَلامِهِمْ يَحْمِلُ بَشَائِرَ الْخَيْرِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
| فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّنِي لَنْ أَنْطِقَ إِلّا بِمَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٤ 14 |
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
| وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ سَأَلَهُ: «يَا مِيخَا، هَلْ نَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَاُموتَ جِلْعَادَ، أَمْ نَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ (بِتَهَكُّمٍ): «اذْهَبْ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ». | ١٥ 15 |
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
| فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «كَمْ مَرَّةٍ اسْتَحْلَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أَلّا تُخْبِرَنِي إِلّا الْحَقَّ». | ١٦ 16 |
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ مِيخَا: «رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُبَدَّدِينَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ كَخِرَافٍ بِلا رَاعٍ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِهَؤُلاءِ قَائِدٌ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ بِسَلامٍ». | ١٧ 17 |
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
| فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
| فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «إِذاً فَاسْمَعْ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ: قَدْ شَاهَدْتُ الرَّبَّ جَالِساً عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ وَكُلُّ أَجْنَادِ السَّمَاءِ مَاثِلَةٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
| فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ: مَنْ يُغْرِي آخْابَ لِيَخْرُجَ لِلْحَرْبِ وَيَمُوتَ فِي رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ؟ فَأَجَابَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
| ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ رُوحُ الضَّلالِ وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُغْوِيهِ. فَسَأَلَهُ الرَّبُّ: بِمَاذَا؟ | ٢١ 21 |
Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
| فَأَجَابَ: أَخْرُجُ، وَأُصْبِحُ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِغْوَائِهِ وَتُفْلِحُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَامْضِ وَنَفِّذْ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
| وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَعَلَ الآنَ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ هَؤُلاءِ، وَقَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّرِّ». | ٢٣ 23 |
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
| فَاقْتَرَبَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ مِنْ مِيخَا وَضَرَبَهُ عَلَى الْفَكِّ قَائِلاً: «مِنْ أَيْنَ عَبَرَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ مِنِّي لِيُكَلِّمَكَ؟» | ٢٤ 24 |
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «سَتَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تَلْجَأُ فِيهِ لِلاخْتِبَاءِ مِنْ مُخْدَعٍ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ». | ٢٥ 25 |
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَى مِيخَا وَسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى آمُونَ رَئِيسِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَإِلَى يُوآشَ ابْنِ الْمَلِكِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
| وَقُولُوا لَهُمَا: إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِإِيْدَاعِ هَذَا فِي السِّجْنِ، وَأَطْعِمُوهُ خُبْزَ الضِّيقِ وَمَاءَ الضِّيقِ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ بِسَلامٍ». | ٢٧ 27 |
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
| فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ بِسَلامٍ لَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَى لِسَانِي، فَاشْهَدُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعاً». | ٢٨ 28 |
But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
| وَتوَجَّهَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
| فَقَالَ آخْابُ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «إِنَّنِي سَأَخُوضُ الْحَرْبَ مُتَنَكِّراً، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَارْتَدِ ثِيَابَكَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ». وَهَكَذَا تَنَكَّرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَاضَ الْحَرْبَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
| وَقَالَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ لِقَادَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ الاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ: «لا تُحَارِبُوا صَغِيراً وَلا كَبِيراً إِلّا مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْدَهُ». | ٣١ 31 |
Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
| فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ قَادَةُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ، ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَحَاصَرُوهُ لِيُقَاتِلُوهُ، فَأَطْلَقَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ صَرْخَةً، | ٣٢ 32 |
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
| أَدْرَكُوا مِنْهَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَارْتَدُّوا عَنْهُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
| وَلَكِنْ حَدَثَ أَنَّ جُنْدِيًّا أَطْلَقَ سَهْمَهُ مِنْ قَوْسِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَعَمِّدٍ، فَأَصَابَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ أَوْصَالِ دِرْعِهِ، فَقَالَ آخْابُ لِقَائِدِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ: «اسْتَدِرْ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ أَرْضِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَقَدْ جُرِحْتُ» | ٣٤ 34 |
However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
| وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَوْقَفَ الْمَلِكُ مَرْكَبَتَهُ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَاتَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ، فَجَرَى دَمُ الْجُرْحِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمَرْكَبَةِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
| وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ تَجَاوَبَتْ صَرْخَةٌ بَيْنَ قُوَّاتِ الْجَيْشِ: «لِيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ وَإِلَى أَرْضِهِ». | ٣٦ 36 |
As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
| وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ الْمَلِكُ فَنَقَلُوهُ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ حَيْثُ دُفِنَ فِيهَا. | ٣٧ 37 |
So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا غُسِلَتْ مَرْكَبَتُهُ وَأَسْلِحَتُهُ فِي بِرْكَةِ السَّامِرَةِ، جَاءَتِ الْكِلابُ وَلَحَسَتْ دَمَهُ. فَتَحَقَّقَ بِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ. | ٣٨ 38 |
And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آخْابَ وَإِنْجَازَاتُهُ وَبَيْتُ الْعَاجِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ، وَكُلُّ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي عَمَّرَهَا، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي تَارِيخِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ | ٣٩ 39 |
As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
| وَدُفِنَ آخْابُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَخَزْيَا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. | ٤٠ 40 |
And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
| وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤١ 41 |
In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
| وَكَانَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَزُوبَةُ بِنْتُ شَلْحِي | ٤٢ 42 |
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
| وَاقْتَفَى خُطَى أَبِيهِ آسَا، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا صَانِعاً مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. إِلّا أَنَّ مَذَابِحَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُهْدَمْ، بَلْ كَانَ الشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُ يَذْبَحُ وَيُوقِدُ عَلَيْهَا. | ٤٣ 43 |
And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
| وَوَقَّعَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ مَعَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٤٤ 44 |
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَمَا أَبْدَاهُ مِنْ بَأْسٍ، وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ | ٤٥ 45 |
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
| كَمَا أَبَادَ مِنَ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ يُمَارِسُونَ الشُّذُوذَ الْجِنْسِيَّ فِي عِبَادَتِهِمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ مِمَّنْ بَقُوا مِنْ أَيَّامِ أَبِيهِ آسَا. | ٤٦ 46 |
He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي زَمَانِهِ مَلِكٌ عَلَى أَدُومَ، بَلْ تَوَلَّى الْحُكْمَ وَكِيلٌ لِلْمَلِكِ. | ٤٧ 47 |
And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
| وَبَنَى يَهُوشَافَاطُ أُسْطُولاً تِجَارِيًّا لِكَيْ يَبْحُرَ إِلَى أُوفِيرَ وَيَعُودَ مُحَمَّلاً بِالذَّهَبِ، وَلَكِنَّ السُّفُنَ لَمْ تَبْحُرْ لأَنَّهَا تَحَطَّمَتْ فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ. | ٤٨ 48 |
Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
| حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ آخْابَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «لِيَبْحُرْ رِجَالِي مَعَ رِجَالِكَ فِي السُّفُنِ». فَأَبَى يَهُوشَافَاطُ. | ٤٩ 49 |
At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
| وَمَاتَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ فَدُفِنَ مَعَ أَسْلافِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُورَامُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
| وَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ آخْابَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِحُكْمِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ، | ٥١ 51 |
In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
| ارْتَكَبَ فِيهِمَا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّذِي اسْتَغْوَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لاِقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ، | ٥٢ 52 |
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
| وَعَبَدَ أَخَزْيَا الْبَعْلَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ، فَأَثَارَ بِذَلِكَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ، تَمَاماً كَمَا فَعَلَ أَبُوهُ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
