BetterH2896 is a poorH4542 and a wiseH2450 childH3206 than an oldH2205 and foolishH3684 kingH4428, who willH3045 no more be admonishedH2094. {who…: Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished}
So AbijahH29 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. In his daysH3117 the landH776 was quietH8252 tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
For he took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 of the strangeH5236 gods, and the high placesH1116, and brake downH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842: {images: Heb. statues}
And commandedH559 JudahH3063 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and to doH6213 the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687.
Also he took awayH5493 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 the high placesH1116 and the imagesH2553: and the kingdomH4467 was quietH8252 beforeH6440 him. {images: Heb. sun images}
And he builtH1129 fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: for the landH776 had restH8252, and he had no warH4421 in those yearsH8141; because the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117.
SeeG991 thenG3767 thatG4459 ye walkG4043 circumspectlyG199, notG3361 asG5613 foolsG781, butG235 asG5613 wiseG4680,
RedeemingG1805 the timeG2540, becauseG3754 the daysG2250 areG1526 evilG4190.
BelovedG27, when I gaveG4160 allG3956 diligenceG4710 to writeG1125 unto youG5213 ofG4012 the commonG2839 salvationG4991, it wasG2192 needfulG318 for meG2192 to writeG1125 unto youG5213, and exhortG3870 you that ye should earnestly contendG1864 for the faithG4102 which was onceG530 deliveredG3860 unto the saintsG40.
And AsaH609 had an armyH2428 of men that bareH5375 targetsH6793 and spearsH7420, out of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505; and out of BenjaminH1144, that bareH5375 shieldsH4043 and drewH1869 bowsH7198, two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505: all these were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And there came outH3318 against them ZerahH2226 the EthiopianH3569 with an hostH2428 of a thousandH505 thousandH505, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 chariotsH4818; and cameH935 unto MareshahH4762.
Then AsaH609 went outH3318 againstH6440 him, and they set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 in the valleyH1516 of ZephathahH6859 at MareshahH4762.
And AsaH609 criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, it is nothing with thee to helpH5826, whetherH996 with manyH7227, or with them that have no powerH3581: helpH5826 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430; for we restH8172 on thee, and in thy nameH8034 we goH935 against this multitudeH1995. O LORDH3068, thou art our GodH430; let not manH582 prevailH6113 against thee. {man: or, mortal man}
So the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 the EthiopiansH3569 beforeH6440 AsaH609, and beforeH6440 JudahH3063; and the EthiopiansH3569 fledH5127.
And it came to pass, that in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, because they had transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068,
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
Be ye strongH2388 therefore, and let not your handsH3027 be weakH7503: for your workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939.
And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominable idolsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from mountH2022 EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. {abominable…: Heb. abominations}
Then SolomonH8010 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which he had builtH1129 beforeH6440 the porchH197,
And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Let thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 be with thy holyH2623 oneH376, whom thou didst proveH5254 at MassahH4532, and with whom thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;
Who saidH559 unto his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him; neither did he acknowledgeH5234 his brethrenH251, nor knewH3045 his own childrenH1121: for they have observedH8104 thy wordH565, and keptH5341 thy covenantH1285.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto him that toldG2036 himG846, WhoG5101 isG2076 myG3450 motherG3384? andG2532 whoG5101 areG1526 myG3450 brethrenG80?
In the sixH8337 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609 BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 against JudahH3063, and builtH1129 RamahH7414, to the intent thatH1115 he might letH5414 none go outH3318 or come inH935 to AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281 to reignH4427 over all IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, twentyH6242 and fourH702 yearsH8141.
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and sixthH8337 yearH8141 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began ElahH425 the sonH1121 of BaashaH1201 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in TirzahH8656, two yearsH8141.
Then AsaH609 brought outH3318 silverH3701 and goldH2091 out of the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 to BenhadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758, that dweltH3427 at DamascusH1834, sayingH559, {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
There is a leagueH1285 between me and thee, as there was between my fatherH1 and thy fatherH1: behold, I have sentH7971 thee silverH3701 and goldH2091; goH3212, breakH6565 thy leagueH1285 with BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may departH5927 from me.
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And he settledH5975 his countenanceH6440 stedfastlyH7760, until he was ashamedH954: and the manH376 of GodH430 weptH1058. {stedfastly: Heb. and set it}
And HazaelH2371 saidH559, Why weepethH1058 my lordH113? And he answeredH559, Because I knowH3045 the evilH7451 that thou wilt doH6213 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: their strong holdsH4013 wilt thou setH7971 on fireH784, and their young menH970 wilt thou slayH2026 with the swordH2719, and wilt dashH7376 their childrenH5768, and rip upH1234 their women with childH2030.
And HazaelH2371 saidH559, But what, is thy servantH5650 a dogH3611, that he should doH6213 this greatH1419 thingH1697? And ElishaH477 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me that thou shalt be kingH4428 over SyriaH758.
Then AsaH609 was wrothH3707 with the seerH7200, and putH5414 him in a prisonH4115 houseH1004; for he was in a rageH2197 with him because of this thing. And AsaH609 oppressedH7533 some of the peopleH5971 the same timeH6256. {oppressed: Heb. crushed}
Ye did runG5143 wellG2573; whoG5101 did hinderG348+G1465 youG5209 that ye shouldG3982 notG3361 obeyG3982 the truthG225? {hinder you: or, drive you back}
DeliverH5337 me from bloodguiltinessH1818, O GodH430, thou GodH430 of my salvationH8668: and my tongueH3956 shall sing aloudH7442 of thy righteousnessH6666. {bloodguiltiness: Heb. bloods}
I will be as the dewH2919 unto IsraelH3478: he shall growH6524 as the lilyH7799, and cast forthH5221 his rootsH8328 as LebanonH3844. {grow: or, blossom} {cast…: Heb. strike}
And AsaH609 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and diedH4191 in the oneH259 and fortiethH705 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.
And they buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchresH6913, which he had madeH3738 for himself in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and laidH7901 him in the bedH4904 which was filledH4390 with sweet odoursH1314 and divers kindsH2177 of spices preparedH7543 by the apothecaries'H4842 artH4639: and they madeH8313 a veryH3966 greatH1419 burningH8316 for him. {had made: Heb. had digged}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and departedH5493 not from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, Because thou hast not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, nor in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063,
BeG1096 yeG3402 thereforeG3767 followersG3402 of GodG2316, asG5613 dearG27 childrenG5043;
Now the pitH953 wherein IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 all the dead bodiesH6297 of the menH582, whom he had slainH5221 becauseH3027 of GedaliahH1436, was it which AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fearH6440 of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with them that were slainH2491. {because…: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}
The fearH2731 of manH120 bringethH5414 a snareH4170: but whoso putteth his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be safeH7682. {safe: Heb. set on high}
