1Abijam began to rule over Judah in the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign in Israel.

2He reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother was Maacah, the daughter of Absalom.

3He committed the same sins as his father before him, and his heart was not right with the LORD his God, as the heart of his ancestor David had been.

4But for David’s sake, the LORD his God allowed his dynasty to continue, and he gave Abijam a son to rule after him in Jerusalem.

5For David had done what was pleasing in the LORD’s sight and had obeyed the LORD’s commands throughout his life, except in the affair concerning Uriah the Hittite.

6There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam throughout Abijam’s reign.

7The rest of the events in Abijam’s reign and all his deeds are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah. There was constant war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8When Abijam died, he was buried in the City of David. Then his son Asa became the next king.

9Asa began to rule over Judah in the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign in Israel.

10He reigned in Jerusalem forty–one years. His grandmother was Maacah, the daughter of Absalom.

11Asa did what was pleasing in the LORD’s sight, as his ancestor David had done.

12He banished the shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols his ancestors had made.

13He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14Although the pagan shrines were not completely removed, Asa remained faithful to the LORD throughout his life.

15He brought into the Temple of the LORD the silver and gold and the utensils that he and his father had dedicated.

16There was constant war between King Asa of Judah and King Baasha of Israel.

17King Baasha of Israel invaded Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from entering or leaving King Asa’s territory in Judah.

18Asa responded by taking all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the LORD’s Temple and the royal palace. He sent it with some of his officials to Ben–hadad son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus, along with this message:

19"Let us renew the treaty that existed between your father and my father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel so that he will leave me alone."

20Ben–hadad agreed to King Asa’s request and sent his armies to attack Israel. They conquered the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel–beth–maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21As soon as Baasha of Israel heard what was happening, he abandoned his project of fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

22Then King Asa sent an order throughout Judah, requiring that everyone, without exception, help to carry away the building stones and timbers that Baasha had been using to fortify Ramah. Asa used these materials to fortify the town of Geba in Benjamin and the town of Mizpah.

23The rest of the events in Asa’s reign, the extent of his power, and the names of the cities he built are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Judah. In his old age his feet became diseased.

24When Asa died, he was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. Then his son Jehoshaphat became the next king.

25Nadab son of Jeroboam began to rule over Israel in the second year of King Asa’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Israel two years.

26But he did what was evil in the LORD’s sight and followed the example of his father, continuing the sins of idolatry that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.

27Then Baasha son of Ahijah, from the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab and assassinated him while he and the Israelite army were laying siege to the Philistine town of Gibbethon.

28Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of King Asa’s reign in Judah, and he became the next king of Israel.

29He immediately killed all the descendants of King Jeroboam, so that not one of the royal family was left, just as the LORD had promised concerning Jeroboam by the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh.

30This was done because Jeroboam had aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel, by the sins he had committed and the sins he had led Israel to commit.

31The rest of the events in Nadab’s reign and all his deeds are recorded in The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.

32There was constant war between Asa and King Baasha of Israel.

33Baasha began to rule over Israel in the third year of King Asa’s reign in Judah. Baasha reigned in Tirzah twenty–four years.

34But he did what was evil in the LORD’s sight and followed the example of Jeroboam, continuing the sins of idolatry that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.
