O Reinado de Abias, Rei de Judá

1 No décimo oitavo ano do reinado de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, Abias tornou-se rei de Judá 2 e reinou três anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Maaca, filha de Absalão. 3 Ele cometeu todos os pecados que o seu pai tinha cometido; seu coração não era inteiramente consagrado ao SENHOR, o seu Deus, quanto fora o coração de Davi, seu predecessor. 4 No entanto, por amor de Davi, o SENHOR, o seu Deus, concedeu-lhe uma lâmpada em Jerusalém, dando-lhe um filho como sucessor e fortalecendo Jerusalém. 5 Pois Davi fizera o que o SENHOR aprova e não deixara de obedecer a nenhum dos mandamentos do SENHOR durante todos os dias da sua vida, exceto no caso de Urias, o hitita. 6 E houve guerra entre Roboão e Jeroboão durante toda a vida de Abias*. 7 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Abias e todas as suas realizações estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Judá. Também houve guerra entre Abias e Jeroboão. 8 E Abias descansou com os seus antepassados e foi sepultado na Cidade de Davi. E o seu filho Asa foi o seu sucessor.

O Reinado de Asa, Rei de Judá

9 No vigésimo ano do reinado de Jeroboão, rei de Israel, Asa tornou-se rei de Judá 10 e reinou quarenta e um anos em Jerusalém. O nome da sua avó era Maaca, filha de Absalão. 11 Asa fez o que o SENHOR aprova, tal como Davi, seu predecessor. 12 Expulsou do país os prostitutos cultuais e se desfez de todos os ídolos que seu pai havia feito. 13 Chegou até a depor sua avó Maaca da posição de rainha-mãe, pois ela havia feito um poste sagrado repugnante. Asa derrubou o poste e o queimou no vale do Cedrom. 14 Embora os altares idólatras não tenham sido eliminados, o coração de Asa foi totalmente dedicado ao SENHOR durante toda a sua vida. 15 Ele trouxe para o templo do SENHOR a prata, o ouro e os utensílios que ele e seu pai haviam consagrado. 16 Houve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, durante todo o reinado deles. 17 Baasa, rei de Israel, invadiu Judá e fortificou Ramá, para que ninguém pudesse entrar nem sair do território de Asa, rei de Judá. 18 Então Asa ajuntou a prata e o ouro que haviam sobrado no tesouro do templo do SENHOR e do seu próprio palácio. Confiou tudo isso a alguns dos seus oficiais e os enviou a Ben-Hadade, filho de Tabriom e neto de Heziom, rei da Síria, que governava em Damasco, 19 com uma mensagem que dizia: “Façamos um tratado, como fizeram meu pai e o teu. Estou te enviando como presente prata e ouro. Agora, rompe o tratado que tens com Baasa, rei de Israel, para que ele saia do meu país”. 20 Ben-Hadade aceitou a proposta do rei Asa e ordenou aos comandantes das suas forças que atacassem as cidades de Israel. Ele conquistou Ijom, Dã, Abel-Bete-Maaca e todo o Quinerete, além de Naftali. 21 Quando Baasa soube disso, abandonou a construção dos muros de Ramá e foi para Tirza. 22 Então o rei Asa reuniu todos os homens de Judá—ninguém foi isentado—e eles retiraram de Ramá as pedras e a madeira que Baasa estivera usando. Com esse material Asa fortificou Geba, em Benjamim, e também Mispá. 23 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Asa, todas as suas realizações, todos os seus atos e todas as cidades que construiu, tudo isso está escrito nos registros históricos dos reis de Judá. Na velhice Asa sofreu uma doença nos pés 24 e, quando descansou com os seus antepassados, foi sepultado com eles na Cidade de Davi, seu predecessor. E seu filho Josafá foi o seu sucessor.

O Reinado de Nadabe, Rei de Israel

25 Nadabe, filho de Jeroboão, tornou-se rei de Israel no segundo ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, e reinou dois anos sobre Israel. 26 Fez o que o SENHOR reprova, andando nos caminhos do seu pai e no pecado que ele tinha levado Israel a cometer. 27 Baasa, filho de Aías, da tribo de Issacar, conspirou contra ele, e o matou na cidade filisteia de Gibetom, enquanto Nadabe e todo o exército de Israel a sitiavam. 28 Baasa matou Nadabe no terceiro ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, e foi o seu sucessor. 29 Assim que começou a reinar, matou toda a família de Jeroboão. Dos pertencentes a Jeroboão não deixou ninguém vivo; destruiu todos, de acordo com a palavra do SENHOR anunciada por seu servo, o silonita Aías. 30 Isso aconteceu por causa dos pecados que Jeroboão havia cometido e havia feito Israel cometer, e porque ele tinha provocado a ira do SENHOR, o Deus de Israel. 31 Os demais acontecimentos do reinado de Nadabe e tudo o que fez estão escritos nos registros históricos dos reis de Israel. 32 Houve guerra entre Asa e Baasa, rei de Israel, durante todo o reinado deles.

O Reinado de Baasa, Rei de Israel

33 No terceiro ano do reinado de Asa, rei de Judá, Baasa, filho de Aías, tornou-se rei de todo o Israel, em Tirza, e reinou vinte e quatro anos. 34 Fez o que o SENHOR reprova, andando nos caminhos de Jeroboão e nos pecados que ele tinha levado Israel a cometer.

Abijam Reigns in Judah

1 Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah. 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. 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 did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6 Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his 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 And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place.

Asa Reigns in Judah

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. 12 He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 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. 14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the Lord all his days. 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. 16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 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. 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, 19 “Let there be a covenant* 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.” 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. 21 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah. 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. 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. 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.

Nadab Reigns in Israel

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Baasha Reigns in Israel

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.
