Asa

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

So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda,

And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father:

Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:

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

And Baasa, king of Israel, went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in of the side of Asa, king of Juda.

Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:

Benadad, hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth; that is all the land of Nephthali.

But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them king Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.

But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

But Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel the second year of Asa, king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.

So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa, king of Juda, and reigned in his place.

And there was war between Asa and Baasa, the king of Israel, all their days.

In the third year of Asa, king of Juda, Baasa, the son of Ahias, reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.

In the six and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Ela, the son of Baasa, reigned over Israel, in Thersa, two years.

And Zambri rushing in, struck him, and slew him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda and he reigned in his stead.

In the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Zambri reigned seven days in Thersa: now the army was besieging Gebbethon, a city of the Philistines.

In the one and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years.

Now Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in the eight and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda. And Achab, the son of Amri, reigned over Israel in Samaria two and twenty years.

But Josaphat, the son of Asa, began to reign over Juda, in the fourth year of Acbab, king of Israel.

And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord.

But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

And Solomon's son was Roboam: whose son Abia begot Asa. And his son was Josaphat,
