1 Kings 15

English Standard Version



1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah. (2Ch 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. (1Ki 8:61; 1Ki 11:4; 1Ki 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, (1Ki 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. (2Sa 11:4; 2Sa 11:15; 2Sa 12:9; 1Ki 9:4; 1Ki 14:8) 6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. (1Ki 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. (2Ch 13:2; 2Ch 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. (2Ch 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. (2Ch 14:2) 12 He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. (1Ki 14:24; 2Ch 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. (Ex 32:20; 2Ch 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. (1Ki 15:3; 1Ki 22:43; 2Ki 12:3; 2Ki 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. (1Ki 7:51) 16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. (1Ki 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. (1Ki 12:27; 1Ki 15:21; 2Ch 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, (1Ki 11:24; 1Ki 14:26; 2Ki 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.” (2Ch 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; Jud 18:29; 2Sa 20:14; 2Ki 15:29) 21 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah. (1Ki 14:17; 1Ki 15:17; 1Ki 16:6; 1Ki 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. (2Ch 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. (2Ch 17:1; Mt 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. (1Ki 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. (1Ki 12:30; 1Ki 14:16; 1Ki 15:30; 1Ki 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; 1Ki 14:14; 1Ki 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. (1Ki 14:10; 1Ki 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. (1Ki 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. (1Ki 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. (1Ki 15:26)

الكتاب المقدس



1 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ حُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ، اعْتَلَى أَبِيَامُ عَرْشَ يَهُوذَا، 2 وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ ثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ. 3 وَارْتَكَبَ جَمِيعَ خَطَايَا أَبِيهِ الَّتِي اقْتَرَفَهَا قَبْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُخْلِصاً لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ كَقَلْبِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. 4 إِلّا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ إِكْرَاماً لِدَاوُدَ، رَزَقَهُ ابْناً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، فَأَوْرَثَهُ الْمُلْكَ وَثَبَّتَ أَرْكَانَ أُورُشَليمَ، 5 لأَنَّ دَاوُدَ صَنَعَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ، إِلّا مَا جَنَاهُ بِحَقِّ أُورِيَّا الْحِثِّيِّ. 6 وَخِلالَ فَتْرَةِ حُكْمِ أَبِيَامَ كَانَتِ الْحُرُوبُ مُسْتَمِرَّةً بَيْنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا. 7 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَعْمَالِ أَبِيَامَ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ أَلَيْسَتْ هِي مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ 8 ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَبِيَامُ، فَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آسَا عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. 



9 وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ حُكْمِ يَرُبْعَامَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 10 وَمَلَكَ آسَا إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ جَدَّتِهِ مَعْكَةُ ابْنَةُ أَبْشَالُومَ، 11 وَصَنَعَ آسَا مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَدَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ 12 وَأَبَادَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طَائِفَةَ الْعَاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُمَارِسُونَ الشُّذُوذَ الْجِنْسِيَّ كَجُزْءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَتِهِمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ جَمِيعَ الأَصْنَامِ الَّتِي أَقَامَهَا آبَاؤُهُ. 13 كَمَا خَلَعَ جَدَّتَهُ مَعْكَةَ مِنْ مَنْصِبِ الأُمِّ الْمَلِكَةِ، لأَنَّهَا أَقَامَتْ تِمْثَالاً لِعَشْتَارُوثَ، فَانْتَزَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ. 14 أَمَّا مَذَابِحُ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ فَلَمْ يَهْدِمْهَا، إِلّا أَنَّ قَلْبَهُ كَانَ خَالِصَ الْوَلاءِ لِلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ. 15 وَجَاءَ بِكُلِّ مَا خَصَّصَهُ أَبُوهُ وَمَا خَصَّصَهُ هُوَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ وَسِوَاهَا مِنَ الآنِيَةِ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ. 16 وَظَلَّتِ الْحَرْبُ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طُوَالَ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِمَا. 17 وَشَرَعَ الْمَلِكُ بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ مَدِينَةِ الرَّامَةِ، لِقَطْعِ الطَّرِيقِ عَلَى الْخَارِجِينَ وَالدَّاخِلِينَ إِلَى آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، 18 فَجَمَعَ آسَا بَقِيَّةَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ الْمَوْجُودَةَ فِي خَزَائِنِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَخَزائِنِ قَصْرِهِ، وَأَعْطَاهَا لِرِجَالِهِ، وَأَرْسَلَهُمْ إِلَى بَنْهَدَدَ بْنِ طَبْرِيمُونَ بْنِ حَزْيُونَ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي دِمَشْقَ قَائِلاً: 19 «إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ، وَبَيْنَ أَبِي وَأَبِيكَ عَهْداً، وَهَا أَنَا بَاعِثٌ إِلَيْكَ هَدِيَّةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَذَهَبٍ، فَهَيَّا انْكُثْ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ بَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُفَّ عَنِّي». 20 فَلَبَّى بَنْهَدَدُ طَلَبَ آسَا، وَأَرْسَلَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشِهِ فَهَاجَمُوا مُدُنَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَ عُيُونَ وَدَانَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَكُلَّ مِنْطَقَةِ كِنَّرُوتَ وَسَائِرَ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي. 21 وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَتْ بَعْشَا أَنْبَاءُ الْهُجُومِ، كَفَّ عَنْ بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَقَامَ فِي تِرْصَةَ. 22 وَاسْتَدْعَى الْمَلِكُ آسَا كُلَّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلَمْ يُعْفِ أَحَداً، فَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ حِجَارَةِ الرَّامَةِ وَأَخْشَابِهَا الَّتِي اسْتَخْدَمَهَا بَعْشَا فِي بِنَاءِ الرَّامَةِ وَشَيَّدَ بِها الْمَلِكُ آسَا جَبْعَ بِنْيَامِينَ وَالْمِصْفَاةَ. 23 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آسَا وَكُلُّ إِنْجَازَاتِهِ وَمَا قَامَ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ وَمَا بَنَاهُ مِنْ مُدُنٍ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟ وَأُصِيبَ الْمَلِكُ آسَا فِي شَيْخُوخَتِهِ بِدَاءٍ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ. 24 وَعِنْدَمَا مَاتَ دُفِنَ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. 



25 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، اعْتَلَى نَادَابُ بْنُ يَرُبْعَامَ عَرْشَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ. 26 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ أَبِيهِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ الَّتِي أَفْضَتْ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى اقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ. 27 وَتَمَرَّدَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا مِنْ بَيْتِ يَسَّاكَرَ، وَاغْتَالَهُ بَيْنَمَا كَانَ نَادَابُ وَجَيْشُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ يُحَاصِرُونَ مَدِينَةَ جِبَّثُونَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيَّةَ. 28 وَقَدِ اغْتَالَهُ بَعْشَا فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ لِحُكْمِ آسَا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ. 29 وَمَا إِنْ تَوَلَّى زِمَامَ الْمُلْكِ حَتَّى أَبَادَ كُلَّ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَرُبْعَامَ، وَلَمْ يُبْقِ عَلَى نَسَمَةٍ مِنْهُمْ، تَحْقِيقاً لِقَضَاءِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي نَطَقَ بِهِ عَلَى لِسَانِ عَبْدِهِ أَخِيَّا الشِّيلُونِيِّ، 30 بِسَبَبِ آثَامِ يَرُبْعَامَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبَهَا وَاسْتَغْوَى بِها بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَخْطَأُوا، فَأَثَارَ غَيْظَ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 31 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ نَادَابَ وَسائِرُ أَعْمَالِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ 32 وَظَلَّتْ رَحَى الْحَرْبِ دَائِرَةً بَيْنَ آسَا وَبَعْشَا مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِهِمَا. 



33 وَتَوَلَّى بَعْشَا بْنُ أَخِيَّا حُكْمَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي تِرْصَةَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ أَرْبَعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. 34 وَارْتَكَبَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ وَسَلَكَ فِي طُرُقِ يَرُبْعَامَ وَفِي خَطِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي جَعَلَتْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَقْتَرِفُونَ الإِثْمَ.
