Трето Царе 15
Bulgarian Bible
15 В осемнадесетата година от царуването на Еровоама Наватовия син, Авия се възцари над Юда;
2 и царува три години в Ерусалим. Името на майка му бе Мааха, Авесаломова дъщеря.
3 Той ходи във всичките грехове, които баща му бе сторил преди него; и сърцето му не бе съвършенно пред Господа неговия Бог, както сърцето на баща му Давида.
4 Но заради Давида Господ неговият Бог му даде светилник в Ерусалим, като издигна сина му подир него и утвърди Ерусалим;
5 защото Давид стори онова, което бе право пред Господа, и през всичките дни на живота си, не се отклоняваше от нищо, което му заповяда, освен в делото относно хетееца Урия.
6 И между Ровоама е Еровоама имаше война през всичките дни на Ровоамовия живот.
7 А останалите дела на Авия, и всичко що извърши, не са ли написани в книгата на Юдовите царе? Имаше война и между Авия и Еровоама.
8 И Авия заспа с бащите си, и погребаха го в Давидовия град; и вместо него се възцари син му Аса.
9 Аса се възцари над Юда в двадесетата година на Израилевия цар Еровоама,
10 и царува в Ерусалим четиридесет и една година. Името на майка му бе Мааха, Авесаломова дъщеря.
11 И Аса върши това, което бе право пред Господа, както баща му Давид.
12 Той отмахна мъжеложците от земята, и дигна всичките идоли, които бяха направили бащите му..
13 А още свали и майка си Мааха да не бъде царица, понеже тя бе направила отвратителен идол на Ашера; и Аса съсече нейния идол та го изгори при потока Кедрон.
14 Но високите места не се премахнаха; сърцето обаче на Аса бе съвършено пред Господа през всичките му дни.
15 И Той донесе в Господния дом посветените от баща му вещи, и посветените от самия него вещи, сребро, злато и съдове.
16 И между Аса и Израилевия цар Вааса имаше война през всичките им дни.
17 И Израилевият цар Вааса като възлезе против Юда, съгради Рама, за да не оставя никого да излиза от Юдовия цар Аса, нито да влиза при него.
18 Тогава Аса все всичкото сребро и злато, останало в съкровищата на Господния дом и в съкровищата на царската къща, та ги даде в ръцете на слугата си; и цар Аса ги прати при сирийския цар Венадад, син на Тавримона, син на Есиона, който живееше в Дамаск, да рекат:
19 Нека има договор между мене и тебе, както е имало между баща ми и твоя баща; ето, пратих ти подарък сребро и злато; иди, развали договора си с Израилевия цар Вааса, за да се оттегли от мене.
20 И Венадад послуша цар Аса та прати началниците на силите си против Израилевите градове, и порази, Иион, Дан, Авел-вет-мааха и целия Хинерот с цялата Нефталимова земя.
21 А Вааса, като чу това, престана да гради Рама, и установи се в Терса.
22 Тогава цар Аса възгласи на целия Юда, без никакво изключение та дигнаха камъните на Рама и дърветата й, с които Вааса градеше; и с тях цар Аса съгради Гава Вениаминова и Масфа.
23 А всичките останали дела на Аса, всичкото му юначество, всичко що извърши, и градовете, които съгради, не са ли написани в Книгата на летописите на Юдовите царе? А във времето на старостта си той се разболя от болест в нозете.
24 И Аса заспа с бащите си, и биде погребан с бащите си в града на баща си Давида; а вместо него се възцари син му Иосафат.
25 А във втората година на Юдовия цар Аса, над Израиля се възцари Надав Еровоамовия син, и царува над Израиля две години.
26 Той върши зло пред Господа, като ходи в пътя на баща си, и в греховете му, чрез които направи Израиля да греши.
27 А Вааса, Ахиевият син, от Исахаровия дом, направи заговор против него; и Вааса го уби в Гиветон, който принадлежеше на филистимците; защото Надав и целият Израил обсаждаха Гиветон.
28 А Вааса го уби в третата година на Юдовия цар Аса, и се възцари вместо него.
29 И щом се възцари, изби целия Еровоамов род; не остави на Еровоама нищо живо, което не изтреби, според словото, което Господ говори чрез слугата Си Ахия силонеца,
30 поради греховете, с които Еровоам съгреши, и чрез които направи Израиля да греши, и поради раздразнението, с което предизвика гнева на Господа Израилевия Бог.
31 А останалите дела на Надава, и всичко що извърши, не са ли написани в Книгата на летописите на Израилевите царе?
32 И между Аса и Израилевия цар Вааса имаше война през всичките им дни.
33 В третата година на Юдовия цар Аса се възцари в Терса Вааса Ахиевият син над целия Израил и царува двадесет и четири години.
34 Той върши зло пред Господа, като ходи в пътя на Еровоама, и в греха му, чрез който направи Израил да греши.
1 Kings 15
Evangelical Heritage Version
Abijam (Abijah) Son of Rehoboam, King of Judah
15 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam[a] became king over Judah. 2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Ma’akah, granddaughter of Abishalom.[b] 3 He walked in all the sins which his father had practiced before him, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord as the heart of his grandfather David had been. 4 But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up his son after him and by making Jerusalem strong. 5 He did this because David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and he did not turn from all that the Lord commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7 As for the rest of Abijam’s acts and everything he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 8 Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then his son Asa became king in his place.
Asa Son of Abijam, King of Judah
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa king of Judah became king. 10 He ruled for forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s[c] name was Ma’akah granddaughter of Abishalom. 11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as his father David had done. 12 He drove the male shrine prostitutes out of the land, and he removed all the filthy idols which his fathers had made. 13 In addition, he also removed his grandmother Ma’akah from being queen mother because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his days. 15 He brought silver and gold and vessels and utensils into the House of the Lord as dedicated offerings for himself and his father.
16 There was war between Asa and Ba’asha king of Israel throughout all their days. 17 Ba’asha king of Israel attacked Judah, and he fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah. 18 So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the House of the Lord and the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he gave them to his officials. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was living in Damascus. 19 He said, “There should be a treaty between you and me as there was between my father and your father. Look, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Come, break your treaty with Ba’asha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
20 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his army against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Ma’akah, and all of Kinneret, as well as all the land of Naphtali. 21 When Ba’asha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah, and he stayed in Tirzah. 22 Then King Asa summoned all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timber with which Ba’asha had been building, and King Asa used them to fortify Geba in Benjamin and Mizpah.
(2 Chronicles 16:11–17:1)
23 As for all the rest of Asa’s acts and all his mighty deeds and everything else he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? But in his old age his feet became diseased. 24 Asa rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king in his place.
Nadab Son of Jeroboam, King of Israel
25 Nadab son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah. He ruled over Israel for two years. 26 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. He walked in the ways of his father and in the sin which he had caused Israel to commit. 27 Ba’asha son of Ahijah from the house of Issachar conspired against him and struck him down in Gibbethon, which belongs to the Philistines. (Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.) 28 Ba’asha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and became king in his place.
Ba’asha Son of Ahijah, King of Israel
29 When Ba’asha became king, he struck down the whole house of Jeroboam, until it was exterminated according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh. For Jeroboam’s house he did not spare anyone who breathed, 30 because of the sins which Jeroboam committed and which he caused Israel to commit when he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 As for the rest of Nadab’s acts and everything he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Israel? 32 There was war between Asa and Ba’asha king of Israel all their days. 33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Ba’asha son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah and reigned for twenty-four years. 34 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

1 Kings 15
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
15 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother was Maacah (Micaiah) daughter [granddaughter] of Abishalom (Absalom).
3 He walked in all the sins of his father [Rehoboam] before him; and his heart was not blameless with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father [forefather].
4 Nevertheless, for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him and establishing Jerusalem,
5 Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and turned not aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 There was war between [Abijam’s father] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of [Rehoboam’s] life.
7 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 Abijam slept with his fathers and they buried him in the City of David. Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10 Forty-one years he reigned in Jerusalem. His mother was [also named] Maacah (Micaiah) daughter of Abishalom (Absalom).(A)
11 And Asa did right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father [forefather].
12 He put away the sodomites (male cult prostitutes) out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers [Solomon, Rehoboam, and Abijam] had made or promoted.(B)
13 Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen mother, because she had an image made for [the goddess] Asherah. Asa destroyed her image, burning it by the brook Kidron.
14 But the high places were not removed. Yet Asa’s heart was blameless with the Lord all his days.
15 He brought the things which his father had dedicated and the things which he himself had dedicated into the house of the Lord—silver, gold, and vessels.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built up Ramah, that he might allow no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and of the king’s house and delivered them into the hands of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19 Let there be a league between me and you, as was between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending you a present of silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 When Baasha heard of it, he quit building up Ramah and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah—none was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building. And King Asa built up with them Geba of Benjamin, and also Mizpah.
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, 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.
24 Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of David his father. Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
25 Nadab son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned two years.
26 He did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, with which he made Israel sin.
27 Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28 In the third year of Asa king of Judah Baasha slew Nadab and reigned in his stead.
29 As soon as he was king, Baasha killed all the household of Jeroboam. He left to [it] not one who breathed, until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite—(C)
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned and by which he made Israel to sin, and because of his provocation of the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 The rest of Nadab’s acts, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah began his reign of twenty-four years over all Israel in Tirzah.
34 He did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, with which he made Israel sin.
