亞比央作猶大王(A)
15 尼八的兒子耶羅波安王第十八年，亞比央登基作猶大王。 2 他在耶路撒冷作王三年，他的母親名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。 3 亞比央行他父親在他以前所行的一切罪惡。他的心不完完全全歸向耶和華他的 神，像他先祖大衛的心一樣。 4 然而，耶和華他的 神卻因大衛的緣故，使他在耶路撒冷仍然有燈光，興起他的兒子接續他作王，並且堅立耶路撒冷。 5 因為除了赫人烏利亞那事以外，大衛都行耶和華看為正的事，一生之中從來沒有偏離耶和華所吩咐他的一切。 6 亞比央一生的日子中，羅波安與耶羅波安之間常有戰爭。
7 亞比央其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？亞比央與耶羅波安之間常有戰爭。 8 亞比央與他的列祖同睡，人們把他埋葬在大衛城裡，他的兒子亞撒繼承他作王。
亞撒作猶大王(B)
9 以色列王耶羅波安第二十年，亞撒登基作猶大王。 10 他在耶路撒冷作王四十一年。他的祖母名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。 11 亞撒行耶和華看為正的事，像他祖大衛一樣。 12 他從國中除去廟妓，又除掉他列祖所做的一切偶像。 13 並且廢除他祖母瑪迦太后的后位，因為她為亞舍拉做了可怕的偶像。亞撒把她那可怕的偶像砍下來，在汲淪溪旁燒掉。 14 只是邱壇還沒有廢去；不過亞撒一生都完完全全歸向耶和華。 15 亞撒把他父親所分別為聖和他自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿，都帶到耶和華的殿裡。
亞撒與巴沙的戰爭(C)
16 亞撒與以色列王巴沙在世的日子，雙方常有戰爭。 17 以色列王巴沙上來攻擊猶大，修築拉瑪，不准人進出到猶大王亞撒那裡。 18 於是亞撒把耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裡所剩下的金銀，都交在他臣僕的手中。亞撒王差派他們到大馬士革的亞蘭王，希旬的孫子、他伯利們的兒子便．哈達那裡去，說： 19 “你父與我父之間曾經立過約，我也要與你立約。現在我把金銀送給你作禮物，請你去廢除與以色列王巴沙所立的約，好使他離開我。” 20 便．哈達聽從亞撒王的話，派遣他的眾軍長去攻擊以色列的各城。他們攻破了以雲、但、亞伯．伯．瑪迦、基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全地。 21 巴沙聽見了，就停止修築拉瑪，仍然留在得撒。 22 於是亞撒王通告猶大眾人，沒有一個人例外。他們就把巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭和木料運走；亞撒王用那些材料來修築便雅憫的迦巴和米斯巴。
23 亞撒其餘的一切事蹟，他的英勇事蹟，他所行的一切和他所建造的眾城，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？可是他年老的時候，腳上卻患了病。 24 亞撒與他的列祖同睡，與他的列祖一同埋葬在他祖大衛的城裡，他的兒子約沙法接續他作王。
拿答作以色列王
25 猶大王亞撒第二年，耶羅波安的兒子拿答登基作以色列王；他作以色列王共二年。 26 拿答行耶和華看為惡的事，跟隨他父親的路，犯他父親使以色列人陷在罪中的那罪。 27 以薩迦家族亞希雅的兒子巴沙密謀背叛拿答。拿答和以色列眾人正在圍攻非利士地的基比頓的時候，巴沙在基比頓把拿答殺了。 28 猶大王亞撒第三年，巴沙殺死了拿答接續他作王。 29 巴沙一作王，就擊殺了耶羅波安的全家。凡有氣息的，他都沒有留下一個，直到滅盡了，正如耶和華藉著他的僕人示羅人亞希雅所說的話一樣。 30 這是因為耶羅波安所犯的罪，和他使以色列人陷在罪中的那罪，又因為他惹動耶和華以色列的 神的怒氣。
31 拿答其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都記在以色列諸王的年代誌上嗎？ 32 亞撒與以色列王巴沙在世的日子，雙方常常有爭戰。
巴沙作以色列王
33 猶大王亞撒第三年，亞希雅的兒子巴沙在得撒登基作以色列的王，共二十四年。 34 他行耶和華看為惡的事，行耶羅波安的路，犯了耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪中的那罪。

Abijah King of Judah(A)
15 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah[a] became king of Judah, 2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah(B) daughter of Abishalom.[b]
3 He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted(C) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been. 4 Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp(D) in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong. 5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep(E) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah(F) the Hittite.
6 There was war(G) between Abijah[c] and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime. 7 As for the other events of Abijah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 8 And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king.
Asa King of Judah(H)(I)
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah, 10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maakah(J) daughter of Abishalom.
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David(K) had done. 12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes(L) from the land and got rid of all the idols(M) his ancestors had made. 13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(N) from her position as queen mother,(O) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(P) and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Although he did not remove(Q) the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed(R) to the Lord all his life. 15 He brought into the temple of the Lord the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(S)
16 There was war(T) between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns. 17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah(U) to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
18 Asa then took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple(V) and of his own palace. He entrusted it to his officials and sent(W) them to Ben-Hadad(X) son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus. 19 “Let there be a treaty(Y) between me and you,” he said, “as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me.”
20 Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. He conquered(Z) Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maakah and all Kinnereth in addition to Naphtali. 21 When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah(AA) and withdrew to Tirzah.(AB) 22 Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away from Ramah(AC) the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa(AD) built up Geba(AE) in Benjamin, and also Mizpah.(AF)
23 As for all the other events of Asa’s reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased. 24 Then Asa rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And Jehoshaphat(AG) his son succeeded him as king.
Nadab King of Israel
25 Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 26 He did evil(AH) in the eyes of the Lord, following the ways of his father(AI) and committing the same sin his father had caused Israel to commit.
27 Baasha son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar plotted against him, and he struck him down(AJ) at Gibbethon,(AK) a Philistine town, while Nadab and all Israel were besieging it. 28 Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king.
29 As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family.(AL) He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the Lord given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. 30 This happened because of the sins(AM) Jeroboam had committed and had caused(AN) Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel.
31 As for the other events of Nadab’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals(AO) of the kings of Israel? 32 There was war(AP) between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.
Baasha King of Israel
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel in Tirzah,(AQ) and he reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did evil(AR) in the eyes of the Lord, following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

15 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
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.
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:
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.
6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 Now 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.
8 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the Lord all his days.
15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
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.
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 Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 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? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
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.
25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
26 And he did 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.
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 laid siege to Gibbethon.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that 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 his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

7 亞比央其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？亞比央與耶羅波安之間常有戰爭。 8 亞比央與他的列祖同睡，人們把他埋葬在大衛城裡，他的兒子亞撒繼承他作王。

亞撒與巴沙的戰爭(C)
16 亞撒與以色列王巴沙在世的日子，雙方常有戰爭。 17 以色列王巴沙上來攻擊猶大，修築拉瑪，不准人進出到猶大王亞撒那裡。 18 於是亞撒把耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裡所剩下的金銀，都交在他臣僕的手中。亞撒王差派他們到大馬士革的亞蘭王，希旬的孫子、他伯利們的兒子便．哈達那裡去，說： 19 “你父與我父之間曾經立過約，我也要與你立約。現在我把金銀送給你作禮物，請你去廢除與以色列王巴沙所立的約，好使他離開我。” 20 便．哈達聽從亞撒王的話，派遣他的眾軍長去攻擊以色列的各城。他們攻破了以雲、但、亞伯．伯．瑪迦、基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全地。 21 巴沙聽見了，就停止修築拉瑪，仍然留在得撒。 22 於是亞撒王通告猶大眾人，沒有一個人例外。他們就把巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭和木料運走；亞撒王用那些材料來修築便雅憫的迦巴和米斯巴。
23 亞撒其餘的一切事蹟，他的英勇事蹟，他所行的一切和他所建造的眾城，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？可是他年老的時候，腳上卻患了病。 24 亞撒與他的列祖同睡，與他的列祖一同埋葬在他祖大衛的城裡，他的兒子約沙法接續他作王。
拿答作以色列王

31 拿答其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都記在以色列諸王的年代誌上嗎？ 32 亞撒與以色列王巴沙在世的日子，雙方常常有爭戰。
巴沙作以色列王

15 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
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.

29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that 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 his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
