1 Kungaboken 15

Nya Levande Bibeln



1-2 Abiam började sin treåriga regeringstid i Jerusalem som kung i Juda under Jerobeams artonde regeringsår i Israel. (Abiams mor hette Maaka och var dotter till Abisalom.) 3 Han syndade lika grovt som sin far, och hans hjärta var inte hängivet Gud, som kung Davids hade varit. 4-5 Men trots Abiams synd kom Herren ihåg löftet till David och gjorde inte slut på Davids kungliga ätt, för David hade varit lydig mot Gud under hela sin livstid, med undantag för affären med hetiten Uria. Därför fick Abiam en son som skulle efterträda honom på tronen och göra Jerusalem starkt. 6 Under hela Abiams regeringstid var det ständiga krig mellan Israel och Juda. 7 Allt övrigt som hände under Abiams regering finns att läsa i Juda kungars krönika. 8 När han hade dött begravdes han i Jerusalem, och hans son Asa efterträdde honom. 



9 Asa blev kung i Juda under Jerobeams tjugonde regeringsår i Israel, och 10 han regerade i fyrtioett år i Jerusalem. Hans farmor hette Maaka och var Abisaloms dotter. 11 Asa gjorde det som var rätt i Herrens ögon, precis som hans förfader David hade gjort. 12 Han drev ut de manliga prostituerade ur landet och rev ner alla de avgudar som hans far hade gjort. 13 Han avsatte sin farmor Maaka som drottningmoder, därför att hon hade låtit tillverka en avgud, en Asera. Den högg han ner och brände upp i Kidrons dal. 14 Men offerhusen på höjderna fick vara kvar, för Asa insåg inte att det var fel att ha dem kvar. 15 Han förde till templet allt det silver och guld som han och hans far hade avskilt för Herren. 16 Det rådde ett ständigt krig mellan kung Asa i Juda och kung Baesa i Israel. 17 Baesa byggde befästningar kring Rama i ett försök att skära av alla förbindelser till Asa. 18 Då tog Asa allt silver och guld som fanns kvar i templets skattkammare, och även skatterna i palatset, och bad sina tjänare att föra alltsammans till den arameiske kungen Ben-Hadad i Damaskus och säga: 19 "Låt oss ingå förbund som våra förfäder gjorde. Ta emot min gåva och bryt ditt förbund med kung Baesa i Israel, så att han låter mig vara i fred." 20 Ben-Hadad gick med på förslaget och sände sina arméer mot några av Israels städer. Han intog Ijon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maaka och hela Kinarot och Naftali. 21 När Baesa hörde detta slutade han bygga på befästningen i Rama och vände tillbaka till Tirsa. 22 Kung Asa sammankallade då hela Juda för att riva ner Rama och bära bort all sten och allt timmer och övrigt byggnadsmaterial. Det använde han till att bygga upp Geba i Benjamin och staden Mispa. 23 Det övriga av Asas bedrifter, alla hans erövringar och namnen på de städer han byggde återfinns i Juda kungars krönika. På äldre dagar fick han en sjukdom i sina fötter. 24 När han dog begravdes han på den kungliga begravningsplatsen i Jerusalem, och hans son Josafat efterträdde honom. 



25-26 Under kung Asas andra regeringsår blev Jerobeams son Nadab kung i Israel. Han regerade bara i två år och var inte någon god kung. I likhet med sin far tillbad han många olika avgudar och förledde Israel till synd. 27 Baesa, son till Ahia från Isaskars stam, ledde en sammansvärjning mot Nadab och lönnmördade honom när han med den israelitiska armén belägrade den filisteiska staden Gibbeton. 



28 Baesa efterträdde Nadab som kung över Israel i Tirsa, och detta hände under kung Asas tredje regeringsår över Juda. 29 Baesa dödade omedelbart alla som tillhörde Jerobeams familj, så att den dog ut, precis som Herren hade sagt genom profeten Ahia från Silo. 30 Detta skedde därför att Jerobeam hade retat Herren till vrede genom att synda och förleda det övriga Israel till synd. 31 Om händelserna under Nadabs regeringstid finns berättat i Israels kungars krönika. 32-33 Det rådde ständiga strider mellan kung Asa i Juda och kung Baesa i Israel. Baesa regerade i tjugofyra år, 34 men hela tiden gjorde han det som var ont i Herrens ögon. Han handlade som Jerobeam hade gjort och förledde Israels folk att synda mot Herren.

1 Kungaboken 15

English Standard Version



1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah. (2 Krön 13:1) 2 He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 3 And he walked in all the sins that his father did before him, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father. (1 Kung 8:61; 1 Kung 11:4; 1 Kung 15:14) 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, (1 Kung 11:36) 5 because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. (2 Sam 11:4; 2 Sam 11:15; 2 Sam 12:9; 1 Kung 9:4; 1 Kung 14:8) 6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. (1 Kung 14:30) 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. (2 Krön 13:2; 2 Krön 13:22) 8 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. (2 Krön 14:1) 



9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah, 10 and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father had done. (2 Krön 14:2) 12 He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. (1 Kung 14:24; 2 Krön 15:8) 13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron. (2 Mos 32:20; 2 Krön 15:16) 14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the Lord all his days. (1 Kung 15:3; 1 Kung 22:43; 2 Kung 12:3; 2 Kung 14:4) 15 And he brought into the house of the Lord the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels. (1 Kung 7:51) 16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. (1 Kung 15:32) 17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. (1 Kung 12:27; 1 Kung 15:21; 2 Krön 16:1) 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 gave them into the hands of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, saying, (1 Kung 11:24; 1 Kung 14:26; 2 Kung 12:18) 19 “Let there be a covenant[1] between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I am sending to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.” (2 Krön 16:7) 20 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. (Jos 11:2; Dom 18:29; 2 Sam 20:14; 2 Kung 15:29) 21 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah. (1 Kung 14:17; 1 Kung 15:17; 1 Kung 16:6; 1 Kung 16:9) 22 Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, none was exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building, and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah. (Jos 18:26; Jos 21:17) 23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? But in his old age he was diseased in his feet. (2 Krön 16:11) 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 place. (2 Krön 17:1; Matt 1:8) 



25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. (1 Kung 14:20) 26 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin. (1 Kung 12:30; 1 Kung 14:16; 1 Kung 15:30; 1 Kung 15:34) 27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon. (Jos 19:44; Jos 21:23; 1 Kung 14:14; 1 Kung 16:15) 28 So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place. 29 And as soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He left to the house of Jeroboam not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite. (1 Kung 14:10; 1 Kung 14:14) 30 It was for the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned and that he made Israel to sin, and because of the anger to which he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel. (1 Kung 15:26) 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. (1 Kung 15:16) 



33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years. 34 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel to sin. (1 Kung 15:26)
