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.

New King James Version
Abijam Reigns in Judah(A)
15 (B)In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah. 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. (C)His mother’s name was (D)Maachah the granddaughter of (E)Abishalom. 3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; (F)his heart was not [a]loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David. 4 Nevertheless (G)for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem; 5 because David (H)did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, (I)except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6 (J)And there was war between [b]Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7 (K)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 (L)So Abijam [c]rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place.
Asa Reigns in Judah(M)
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah. 10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom. 11 (N)Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David. 12 (O)And he banished the [d]perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 Also he removed (P)Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of [e]Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and (Q)burned it by the Brook Kidron. 14 (R)But the [f]high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s (S)heart was loyal to the Lord all his days. 15 He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father (T)had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 17 And (U)Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built (V)Ramah, (W)that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 18 Then 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 house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to (X)Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in (Y)Damascus, saying, 19 “Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
20 So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and (Z)sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked (AA)Ijon, (AB)Dan, (AC)Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 21 Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in (AD)Tirzah.
22 (AE)Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built (AF)Geba of Benjamin, and (AG)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 (AH)in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 24 So Asa [g]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. (AI)Then (AJ)Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
Nadab Reigns in Israel
25 Now (AK)Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he 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 (AL)his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
27 (AM)Then Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at (AN)Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 28 Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place. 29 And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to (AO)the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite, 30 (AP)because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had 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 (AQ)And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Baasha Reigns in Israel
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in (AR)the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

Reinado de Abiam
15 En el año dieciocho del rey Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, Abiam comenzó a reinar sobre Judá(A). 2 Reinó tres años en Jerusalén; y el nombre de su madre era Maaca[a](B), hija de Abisalom[b](C). 3 Y anduvo en todos los pecados que su padre había cometido antes de él; y su corazón no estuvo dedicado por entero al Señor su Dios, como el corazón de su padre David(D). 4 Pero por amor a David, el Señor su Dios le dio una lámpara[c] en Jerusalén, levantando a su hijo después de él(E) y sosteniendo a Jerusalén; 5 porque David había hecho lo recto ante los ojos del Señor(F), y no se había apartado de nada de lo que Él le había ordenado durante todos los días de su vida, excepto en el caso de Urías hitita(G). 6 Y hubo guerra entre Roboam y Jeroboam todos los días de su vida(H).
7 Los demás hechos de Abiam y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas(I) de los reyes de Judá? Y hubo guerra entre Abiam y Jeroboam(J). 8 Y durmió Abiam con sus padres y lo sepultaron en la ciudad de David; y su hijo Asa reinó en su lugar(K).
Reinados de Asa y Nadab
9 En el año veinte de Jeroboam, rey de Israel, Asa comenzó a reinar sobre Judá. 10 Reinó cuarenta y un años en Jerusalén; y el nombre de su madre[d] era Maaca, hija de Abisalom(L). 11 Asa hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor(M), como David su padre. 12 También expulsó de la tierra a los sodomitas de cultos paganos(N), y quitó todos los ídolos que sus padres habían hecho(O). 13 (P)También quitó a Maaca su madre[e] de ser reina madre, porque ella había hecho una horrible imagen de[f] Asera; Asa derribó su horrible imagen y la quemó(Q) junto al torrente Cedrón. 14 Pero los lugares altos no fueron quitados(R); sin embargo el corazón de Asa estuvo dedicado por entero al Señor(S) todos sus días. 15 Y trajo a la casa del Señor las cosas consagradas por su padre y sus propias cosas consagradas: plata, oro y utensilios(T).
16 Y hubo guerra entre Asa y Baasa, rey de Israel, todos sus días(U). 17 (V)Y Baasa, rey de Israel, subió contra Judá y fortificó[g] Ramá(W) para prevenir que nadie saliera o entrara en ayuda de Asa, rey de Judá. 18 Entonces Asa tomó toda la plata y el oro que había quedado en los tesoros de la casa del Señor(X) y en los tesoros de la casa del rey, y los entregó en manos de sus siervos. Y el rey Asa los envió a Ben-adad, hijo de Tabrimón, hijo de Hezión, rey de Aram(Y), que habitaba en Damasco(Z), diciendo: 19 Haya alianza entre tú y yo[h](AA), como hubo entre mi padre y tu padre. He aquí, te he enviado un presente de plata y de oro; ve, rompe tu alianza con Baasa, rey de Israel, para que se aparte de mí. 20 Ben-adad escuchó al rey Asa y envió a los jefes de sus ejércitos contra las ciudades de Israel, y conquistó[i] Ijón, Dan(AB), Abel-bet-maaca, y toda Cineret(AC), además de toda la tierra de Neftalí(AD). 21 Y sucedió que cuando Baasa lo oyó, dejó de fortificar[j] Ramá(AE), y se quedó en Tirsa(AF). 22 Entonces el rey Asa hizo proclamación a todo Judá, sin excepción, y se llevaron las piedras de Ramá y la madera con que Baasa había estado edificando. Y con ellas el rey Asa fortificó[k] Geba de Benjamín(AG) y Mizpa.
23 (AH)Los demás hechos de Asa y todo su poderío, todo lo que hizo y las ciudades que edificó, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá? Solo que en el tiempo de su vejez se enfermó de los pies. 24 Y durmió Asa con sus padres y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David su padre; y su hijo Josafat reinó en su lugar(AI). 25 Y Nadab, hijo de Jeroboam(AJ), comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en el segundo año de Asa, rey de Judá, y reinó sobre Israel dos años. 26 E hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor(AK), y anduvo en el camino de su padre y en el[l] pecado con que hizo pecar a Israel(AL). 27 Entonces Baasa, hijo de Ahías, de la casa(AM) de Isacar, conspiró contra él, y Baasa lo hirió en Gibetón, que pertenecía a los filisteos(AN), mientras Nadab y todo Israel sitiaban a Gibetón. 28 Baasa lo mató en el tercer año de Asa, rey de Judá, y reinó en su lugar. 29 Y sucedió que en cuanto fue rey, hirió a toda la casa de Jeroboam. No dejó con vida a ninguno[m] de los de Jeroboam, hasta destruirlos, conforme a la palabra que el Señor(AO) había hablado por medio[n] de su siervo Ahías silonita, 30 por los pecados que Jeroboam había cometido[o], y con los cuales había hecho pecar a Israel(AP), y por la provocación con que provocó a ira al Señor, Dios de Israel.
31 Los demás hechos de Nadab y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel(AQ)? 32 Hubo guerra entre Asa y Baasa, rey de Israel, todos los[p] días(AR) que vivieron.
Reinado de Baasa
33 En el tercer año de Asa, rey de Judá, Baasa, hijo de Ahías, comenzó a reinar sobre todo Israel en Tirsa, y reinó veinticuatro años. 34 E hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, y anduvo en el camino de Jeroboam y en el[q] pecado con que hizo pecar a Israel(AS).
