Israel.

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

And he took the treasures out of the house of the LORD, and out of the king’s house, and all that was to be taken, and took all the shields of gold which Solomon had made; 27. In whose stead king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and put them under the hand of the chief captains that kept the door of the king’s house.

And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, they carried the satellites, and
brought them again into the satellites’ chamber.

And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David.
And his mother’s name was Naema the Ammonite. And Abiam his son reigned in his stead.
(1 Kings)
Chapter 15
Reign of two kings in Judah, Abiam and Assa, and two in Israel, Nadab and Baasha.

In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abiam reigned in Judah; 2. And he reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maecha, a daughter of Abishalom.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not righteous in the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

For because of David the LORD his God gave him a lamp at Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to keep him at Jerusalem,

Because David did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and departed not from all that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in his dealings with Uriah the Hittite.

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

And the rest of the acts of Abiam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. Now there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.

And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Assa his son reigned in his stead.

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king over Israel was Asa king in Judah.

And he reigned forty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maechah, the daughter of Abisalom.

And Assa did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, as did David his father.

And he put away the fornicators out of the land, and put away all the idols which his fathers had made.

And he put away Maechah his mother from the service which she had made for Miplezeth in the grove. And Assa cut off her miplezeth, and burned him in the brook Kidron.

But the high places did not abolish them. But the heart of Assa was righteous in the LORD
all his days.

And he brought in the silver, and the gold, and the vessels which his father had hallowed, and the things which were hallowed, unto the house of the LORD.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that none should come out, nor go in on the side of Asa king of Judah.

And Assa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasury of the house of the LORD, and in the treasury of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hands of his servants, and sent them unto Benhadad the son of Tabrimon, the son of Heshion, king of Syria, which dwelt at Damascus, and told him:

There is a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore will I send thee a present of silver and gold, that thou mayest put away the covenant that thou hast with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent his captains against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Bethmaechah, all Cinneroth, in all the land of Naphtali.

And when Baasha heard it, he left off to build Ramah, and went again to Thirzah.

And king Asa made a noise throughout all Judah, saying, Here be none excepted. And they took away the stones and the timber from Ramah, wherewith Baasha had built: and king Asa built Geba Benjamin and Mizpeh therewith.

And the rest of the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah; without his
sickness of his feet in his old age.

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.

And Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin, to make Israel sin.

And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, made a league against him, and smote him at Gibethon, which was of the Philistines. For Nadab and all Israel besieged Gibethon.

So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

And when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam, and left not any that had the breath of Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him: according to the word of the LORD which he spake by his servant Ahijah of Shiloh,

Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he did, and made Israel to sin, with the provoking, that he might provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger.

And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

And it came to pass in the third year of Asa king of Judah, that Baasha the son of Ahijah reigned over all Israel in Tirzah twenty and four years.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, to make Israel sin.
Ch. 16. v. 1. Now the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying: 2. Because I have raised thee up out of the dust, and have made thee ruler over my people Israel, and thou walkest in the way of Jeroboam, and makest my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger by their sin,

Behold, I will take away the seed of Baasha, and the seed of his house, and will set thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

Whosoever dieth of Baasha in the city, the dogs shall eat him: and whosoever dieth of him in the field, the fowls of the air shall eat him.

And the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah. And Ela his son reigned in his stead.

And the word of the LORD came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani upon Baasha, and upon his house, and against all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, that it might be like the house of Jeroboam; and because he had slain him.
(1 Kings)
Chapter 16
Of four kings in Israel: Ela, Zimri, Amri, and Ahab.

In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah was Elah the son of Baasha king over Israel in Tirzah two years.

And Zimri his servant, the captain of half the chariots, made a league against him. And he was in Tirzah, and drank, and was drunken in the house of Arzah the governor of Tirzah.

And Zimri came in, and slew him in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah: and he reigned in his stead.

And when he was king, and sat upon his throne, he smote all the house of Baasha, and left not over him that pisseth against the wall, and his heirs, and his friends.

So Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning Baasha by the prophet Jehu,

For all the sins of Baasha, and of Ela his son, which they did, to make Israel sin, to provoke
the LORD God of Israel to anger by their idolatry.

And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah.
For the people lay before Gibethon the Philistine.

And when the people of the camp heard that Zimri had made a covenant, and had also slain the king, all Israel that day made Amri the captain of the host king over Israel in the camp.

And Amri went up, and all Israel with him, from Gibethon, and besieged Tirzah.

And when Zimri saw that the city
