1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
| וּבִשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לַמֶּלֶךְ יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט מָלַךְ אֲבִיָּם עַל־יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
| שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם׃ |
3 And 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.
| וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּכׇל־חַטֹּאות אָבִיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה לְפָנָיו וְלֹא־הָיָה לְבָבוֹ שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו כִּלְבַב דָּוִד אָבִֽיו׃ |
4 Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
| כִּי לְמַעַן דָּוִד נָתַן יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו לוֹ נִיר בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לְהָקִים אֶת־בְּנוֹ אַחֲרָיו וּֽלְהַעֲמִיד אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
| אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה דָוִד אֶת־הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא־סָר מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּהוּ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיָּיו רַק בִּדְבַר אוּרִיָּה הַֽחִתִּֽי׃ |
6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
| וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵין־רְחַבְעָם וּבֵין יָרׇבְעָם כׇּל־יְמֵי חַיָּֽיו׃ |
7 And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
| וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי אֲבִיָּם וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלוֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אֲבִיָּם וּבֵין יָרׇבְעָֽם׃ |
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
| וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֲבִיָּם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ בְּעִיר דָּוִד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָסָא בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ |
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.
| וּבִשְׁנַת עֶשְׂרִים לְיָרׇבְעָם מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל מָלַךְ אָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
| וְאַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם׃ |
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
| וַיַּעַשׂ אָסָא הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה כְּדָוִד אָבִֽיו׃ |
12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
| וַיַּעֲבֵר הַקְּדֵשִׁים מִן־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּסַר אֶת־כׇּל־הַגִּלֻּלִים אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתָֽיו׃ |
13 And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
| וְגַם ׀ אֶת־מַעֲכָה אִמּוֹ וַיְסִרֶהָ מִגְּבִירָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה מִפְלֶצֶת לָאֲשֵׁרָה וַיִּכְרֹת אָסָא אֶת־מִפְלַצְתָּהּ וַיִּשְׂרֹף בְּנַחַל קִדְרֽוֹן׃ |
14 But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
| וְהַבָּמוֹת לֹא־סָרוּ רַק לְבַב־אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יָמָֽיו׃ |
15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
| וַיָּבֵא אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁי אָבִיו (וקדשו) [וְקׇדְשֵׁי] בֵּית יְהֹוָה כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְכֵלִֽים׃ |
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
| וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אָסָא וּבֵין בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כׇּל־יְמֵיהֶֽם׃ |
17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
| וַיַּעַל בַּעְשָׁא מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְהוּדָה וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הָרָמָה לְבִלְתִּי תֵּת יֹצֵא וָבָא לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
| וַיִּקַּח אָסָא אֶת־כׇּל־הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב הַנּֽוֹתָרִים ׀ בְּאוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וְאֶת־אֽוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית (מלך) [הַמֶּלֶךְ] וַֽיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּשְׁלָחֵם הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא אֶל־בֶּן־הֲדַד בֶּן־טַבְרִמֹּן בֶּן־חֶזְיוֹן מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּדַמֶּשֶׂק לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
19 [There is] a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
| בְּרִית בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ בֵּין אָבִי וּבֵין אָבִיךָ הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי לְךָ שֹׁחַד כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב לֵךְ הָפֵרָה אֶת־בְּרִֽיתְךָ אֶת־בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיַעֲלֶה מֵֽעָלָֽי׃ |
20 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
| וַיִּשְׁמַע בֶּן־הֲדַד אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ עַל־עָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּךְ אֶת־עִיּוֹן וְאֶת־דָּן וְאֵת אָבֵל בֵּֽית־מַעֲכָה וְאֵת כׇּל־כִּנְרוֹת עַל כׇּל־אֶרֶץ נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
| וַֽיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ בַּעְשָׁא וַיֶּחְדַּל מִבְּנוֹת אֶת־הָרָמָה וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּתִרְצָֽה׃ |
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
| וְהַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא הִשְׁמִיעַ אֶת־כׇּל־יְהוּדָה אֵין נָקִי וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־אַבְנֵי הָֽרָמָה וְאֶת־עֵצֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּעְשָׁא וַיִּבֶן בָּם הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא אֶת־גֶּבַע בִּנְיָמִן וְאֶת־הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃ |
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, are they not 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.
| וְיֶתֶר כׇּל־דִּבְרֵֽי־אָסָא וְכׇל־גְּבוּרָתוֹ וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְהֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה הֲלֹא־הֵמָּה כְתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה רַק לְעֵת זִקְנָתוֹ חָלָה אֶת־רַגְלָֽיו׃ |
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
| וַיִּשְׁכַּב אָסָא עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר עִם־אֲבֹתָיו בְּעִיר דָּוִד אָבִיו וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהוֹשָׁפָט בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ |
25 And 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.
| וְנָדָב בֶּן־יָרׇבְעָם מָלַךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתַּיִם לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁנָתָֽיִם׃ |
26 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
| וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אָבִיו וּבְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
| וַיִּקְשֹׁר עָלָיו בַּעְשָׁא בֶן־אֲחִיָּה לְבֵית יִשָּׂשכָר וַיַּכֵּהוּ בַעְשָׁא בְּגִבְּתוֹן אֲשֶׁר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְנָדָב וְכׇל־יִשְׂרָאֵל צָרִים עַֽל־גִּבְּתֽוֹן׃ |
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
| וַיְמִתֵהוּ בַעְשָׁא בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹשׁ לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ |
29 And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
| וַיְהִי כְמׇלְכוֹ הִכָּה אֶת־כׇּל־בֵּית יָרׇבְעָם לֹא־הִשְׁאִיר כׇּל־נְשָׁמָה לְיָרׇבְעָם עַד־הִשְׁמִדוֹ כִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד־עַבְדּוֹ אֲחִיָּה הַשִּׁילֹנִֽי׃ |
30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
| עַל־חַטֹּאות יָֽרׇבְעָם אֲשֶׁר חָטָא וַאֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכַעְסוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִכְעִיס אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the hook of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
| וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי נָדָב וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
| וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אָסָא וּבֵין בַּעְשָׁא מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כׇּל־יְמֵיהֶֽם׃ |
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, [and reigned] twenty and four years.
| בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹשׁ לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה מָלַךְ בַּעְשָׁא בֶן־אֲחִיָּה עַל־כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּתִרְצָה עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבַּע שָׁנָֽה׃ |
34 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
| וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ יָרׇבְעָם וּבְחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
