1 Kings 15
King James Version
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.

Ang Paghahari ni Abiam sa Juda(A)
15 Noong ikalabing walong taon ng paghahari sa Israel ni Jeroboam na anak ni Nebat, naging hari naman ng Juda si Abiam 2 na anak ni Rehoboam kay Maaca na anak ni Absalom. Tatlong taon siyang naghari, at sa Jerusalem siya nanirahan. 3 Sumunod siya sa masasamang halimbawa ng kanyang ama, at hindi sa halimbawa ni David na kanyang ninuno. Hindi siya naging tapat kay Yahweh na kanyang Diyos. 4 Gayunman,(B) alang-alang kay David, ang kanyang angkan ay pinapanatili ni Yahweh na maghari sa Jerusalem. Pinagkalooban siya ng anak na lalaki na hahalili sa kanya, at iningatan sa kaaway ang Jerusalem. 5 Ginawa(C) ito ni Yahweh sapagkat pawang matuwid sa paningin niya ang mga gawa ni David. Sa buong buhay niya, hindi siya lumabag sa mga utos ni Yahweh, liban sa ginawa niya kay Urias na Heteo. 6 Nagpatuloy(D) ang alitan nina Rehoboam at Jeroboam hanggang sa panahon ni Abiam.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Abiam
7 Ang iba pang mga ginawa ni Abiam ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Juda.
8 Nang mamatay si Abiam, siya'y inilibing sa Lunsod ni David at ang anak niyang si Asa ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.
Ang Paghahari ni Asa sa Juda(E)
9 Noong ikadalawampung taon ng paghahari ni Jeroboam sa Israel, naging hari naman ng Juda si Asa. 10 Naghari siya sa loob ng apatnapu't isang taon, at sa Jerusalem siya nanirahan. Ang lola ni Asa na si Maaca ay anak ni Absalom. 11 Namuhay si Asa nang matuwid sa paningin ni Yahweh, tulad ng kanyang ninunong si David. 12 Pinalayas(F) niya sa kaharian ang mga lalaki at babaing nagbebenta ng panandaliang-aliw sa mga sambahan ng mga diyus-diyosan, at winasak ang mga imahen ng mga diyus-diyosang ipinagawa ng mga haring nauna sa kanya. 13 Pati ang kanyang lolang si Maaca ay inalisan niya ng karapatan sa pagiging inang-reyna, sapagkat nagpagawa ito ng isang malaswang rebulto ni Ashera. Ipinagiba niya ang rebultong ito at ipinasunog sa Batis ng Kidron. 14 Bagama't hindi niya naipagiba lahat ang mga sagradong burol, si Asa ay habang buhay na naging tapat kay Yahweh. 15 Ipinasok niya sa Templo ang mga handog ng kanyang ama kay Yahweh, gayundin ang kanyang sariling handog na ginto, pilak at mga kasangkapang sagrado.
16 Patuloy ang alitan nina Asa at Baasa na hari ng Israel sa buong panahon ng kanilang paghahari. 17 Pinasok ni Baasa ang lupain ng Juda at nagtayo ng kuta sa Rama upang harangan ang daan papunta kay Asa. 18 Kaya't tinipon ni Asa ang nalalabing ginto't pilak sa kabang-yaman ng Templo at ng palasyo. Ipinadala iyon sa Damasco, kay Ben-hadad na anak ni Tabrimon at apo ni Hezion na hari ng Siria. Ganito ang kanyang ipinasabi: 19 “Nais kong maging magkakampi tayo tulad ng ating mga magulang. Tanggapin mo ang mga regalo kong ito. Hinihiling kong putulin mo ang iyong pakikipagkaibigan kay Baasa na hari ng Israel upang mapilitan siyang umalis sa aking nasasakupan.”
20 Sumang-ayon si Ben-hadad kay Haring Asa at nagpadala siya ng mga hukbo at ng mga pinuno nito upang salakayin ang mga lunsod ng Israel. Nasakop nila ang mga bayan ng Ijon, Dan, Abel-bet-maaca, ang lupain sa may Lawa ng Galilea at ang Neftali. 21 Nang mabalitaan ito ni Baasa, ipinatigil niya ang pagpapagawa ng kuta sa Rama at pumunta siya sa Tirza.
22 Iniutos naman ni Asa sa lahat ng mga taga-Juda na kunin ang mga bato at kahoy na ginamit ni Baasa sa pagtatayo ng kuta sa Rama, at ginamit iyon sa paggawa ng kuta sa Geba at Mizpah, sa lupain ng Benjamin.
Ang Pagkamatay ni Asa
23 Ang iba pang ginawa ni Haring Asa, ang kanyang kagitingan at mga bayang pinagawan niya ng kuta ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Juda. Ngunit nang siya'y matanda na, nalumpo siya dahil sa karamdaman sa paa. 24 Namatay si Asa at inilibing sa libingan ng mga hari sa Lunsod ni David. At si Jehoshafat na kanyang anak ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.
Ang Paghahari ni Nadab sa Israel
25 Nang ikalawang taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda, naging hari naman sa Israel si Nadab na anak ni Jeroboam, at dalawang taon siyang naghari sa Israel. 26 Katulad ng kanyang ama na nagbulid sa Israel sa pagkakasala, ginawa rin niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh.
27 Naghimagsik laban sa kanya si Baasa na anak ni Ahias, mula sa lipi ni Isacar. Pinatay ni Baasa si Nadab habang kinubkob nito at ng kanyang hukbo ang Gibeton, isang lunsod sa Filistia. 28 Nangyari ito nang ikatlong taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda, at si Baasa ang pumalit kay Nadab bilang hari sa Israel. 29 Sa(G) simula pa lamang ng kanyang paghahari ay pinagpapatay na niya ang buong pamilya ni Jeroboam, bilang katuparan ng sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni propeta Ahias na taga-Shilo. 30 Ganito ang nangyari sa angkan ni Jeroboam sapagkat ginalit niya si Yahweh dahil sa kanyang mga kasalanan, at sa mga kasalanang ginawa ng bayang Israel dahil sa kanya.
31 Ang iba pang mga ginawa ni Nadab ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel. 32 Patuloy ang alitan ni Asa, hari ng Juda at ni Baasa ng Israel sa buong panahon ng kanilang paghahari.
Paghahari ni Baasa sa Israel
33 Ikatlong taon ng paghahari ni Asa sa Juda nang maghari sa Israel si Baasa, na anak ni Ahias. Dalawampu't apat na taon siyang naghari, at sa Tirza siya nanirahan. 34 Katulad ni Haring Jeroboam na nagbulid sa Israel sa pagkakasala, ginawa rin niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh.
