וּבִשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה לַמֶּלֶךְ יָרׇבְעָם בֶּן־נְבָט מָלַךְ אֲבִיָּם עַל־יְהוּדָֽה׃

2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Maacah [the] daughter of Abishalom.

שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם׃

3 And he walked in all [the] sins of father his which he had done before him and not it was heart his complete with Yahweh God his like [the] heart of David ancestor his.

וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּכׇל־חַטֹּאות אָבִיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה לְפָנָיו וְלֹא־הָיָה לְבָבוֹ שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו כִּלְבַב דָּוִד אָבִֽיו׃

4 For for [the] sake of David he gave Yahweh God his to him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up son his after him and by establishing Jerusalem.

כִּי לְמַעַן דָּוִד נָתַן יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו לוֹ נִיר בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם לְהָקִים אֶת־בְּנוֹ אַחֲרָיו וּֽלְהַעֲמִיד אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

5 That he had done David the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh and not he had turned aside from all that he had commanded him all [the] days of life his 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 And war it was between Rehoboam and between Jeroboam all [the] days of life his.

וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵין־רְחַבְעָם וּבֵין יָרׇבְעָם כׇּל־יְמֵי חַיָּֽיו׃

7 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Abijam and all that he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah and war it was between Abijam and between Jeroboam.

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי אֲבִיָּם וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלוֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אֲבִיָּם וּבֵין יָרׇבְעָֽם׃

8 And he lay down Abijam with ancestors his and people buried him in [the] city of David and he became king Asa son his in place of him.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֲבִיָּם עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ בְּעִיר דָּוִד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָסָא בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

9 And in year twenty of Jeroboam [the] king of Israel he became king Asa [the] king of Judah.

וּבִשְׁנַת עֶשְׂרִים לְיָרׇבְעָם מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל מָלַךְ אָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃

10 And forty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Maacah [the] daughter of Abishalom.

וְאַרְבָּעִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ מַעֲכָה בַּת־אֲבִישָׁלֽוֹם׃

11 And he did Asa the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh like David ancestor his.

וַיַּעַשׂ אָסָא הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה כְּדָוִד אָבִֽיו׃

12 And he made to pass away the male cult prostitutes from the land and he removed all the idols which they had made ancestors his.

וַיַּעֲבֵר הַקְּדֵשִׁים מִן־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּסַר אֶת־כׇּל־הַגִּלֻּלִים אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתָֽיו׃

13 And also - Maacah mother his and he removed her from queen-mother that she had made an abominable image to Asherah pole and he cut down Asa abominable image her and he burned [it] in [the] wadi of Kidron.

וְגַם ׀ אֶת־מַעֲכָה אִמּוֹ וַיְסִרֶהָ מִגְּבִירָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה מִפְלֶצֶת לָאֲשֵׁרָה וַיִּכְרֹת אָסָא אֶת־מִפְלַצְתָּהּ וַיִּשְׂרֹף בְּנַחַל קִדְרֽוֹן׃

14 And the high places not they were removed only [the] heart of Asa it was complete with Yahweh all days his.

וְהַבָּמוֹת לֹא־סָרוּ רַק לְבַב־אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם עִם־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־יָמָֽיו׃

15 And he brought [the] holy things of father his (and [the] holy things *Q(K)*) [the] house of Yahweh silver and gold and utensils.

וַיָּבֵא אֶת־קׇדְשֵׁי אָבִיו (וקדשו) [וְקׇדְשֵׁי] בֵּית יְהֹוָה כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְכֵלִֽים׃

16 And war it was between Asa and between Baasha [the] king of Israel all days their.

וּמִלְחָמָה הָיְתָה בֵּין אָסָא וּבֵין בַּעְשָׁא מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל כׇּל־יְמֵיהֶֽם׃

17 And he came up Baasha [the] king of Israel on Judah and he built Ramah to not [surely] permitting [any] escaping and coming to Asa [the] king of Judah.

וַיַּעַל בַּעְשָׁא מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יְהוּדָה וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הָרָמָה לְבִלְתִּי תֵּת יֹצֵא וָבָא לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃

18 And he took Asa all the silver and the gold which remained - in [the] treasuries of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of [the] house of (the king *Q(K)*) and he gave them in [the] hand of servants his and he sent them the king Asa to Ben Hadad [the] son of Tabrimmon [the] son of Hezion [the] king of Aram who dwelt in 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 A covenant [be] between me and between you between father my and between father your here! I send to you a gift silver and gold come break! covenant your with Baasha [the] king of Israel so he may go up from on 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 he listened Ben Hadad to the king Asa and he sent [the] commanders of the armies which [belonged] to him on [the] cities of Israel and he struck Ijon and Dan and Abel Beth Maacah and all Kinnereth 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 was when heard Baasha and he ceased from building Ramah and he remained in Tirzah.

וַֽיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ בַּעְשָׁא וַיֶּחְדַּל מִבְּנוֹת אֶת־הָרָמָה וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּתִרְצָֽה׃

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 he lay down Asa with ancestors his and he was buried with ancestors his in [the] city of David ancestor his and he became king Jehoshaphat son his in place of him.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב אָסָא עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקָּבֵר עִם־אֲבֹתָיו בְּעִיר דָּוִד אָבִיו וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהוֹשָׁפָט בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

25 And Nadab [the] son of Jeroboam he became king over Israel in year two of Asa [the] 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 the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in [the] way of father his and in sin his which he caused to sin Israel.

וַיִּקְשֹׁר עָלָיו בַּעְשָׁא בֶן־אֲחִיָּה לְבֵית יִשָּׂשכָר וַיַּכֵּהוּ בַעְשָׁא בְּגִבְּתוֹן אֲשֶׁר לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְנָדָב וְכׇל־יִשְׂרָאֵל צָרִים עַֽל־גִּבְּתֽוֹן׃

28 And he killed him Baasha in year three of Asa [the] king of Judah and he became king in place of him.

וַיְמִתֵהוּ בַעְשָׁא בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹשׁ לְאָסָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

עַל־חַטֹּאות יָֽרׇבְעָם אֲשֶׁר חָטָא וַאֲשֶׁר הֶחֱטִיא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכַעְסוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִכְעִיס אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
