1 Kings 15 – KJV & CCB

King James Version

1 Kings 15:1-34

1Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. 2Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.15.2 Maachah…: also called, Michaiah the daughter of Uriel15.2 Abishalom: also called, Absalom 3And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father. 4Nevertheless for David’s sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:15.4 lamp: or, candle 5Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 6And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 7Now 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. 8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

9¶ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.15.10 mother’s: that is, grandmother’s 11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 12And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.15.13 destroyed: Heb. cut off 14But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 15And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.15.15 things: Heb. holy

16¶ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 17And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 18Then 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 delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 19There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.15.19 depart: Heb. go up 20So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 21And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 22Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.15.22 exempted: Heb. free 23The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 24And 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.15.24 Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat

25¶ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.15.25 began…: Heb. reigned 26And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

27¶ And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 28Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 29And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite: 30Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.

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? 32And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 33In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. 34And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

列王纪上 15:1-34

亚比央做犹大王

1尼八的儿子耶罗波安王执政第十八年,亚比央登基做犹大王, 2他在耶路撒冷执政三年,母亲是押沙龙的女儿玛迦

3亚比央和他父亲一样作恶多端,没有像他祖先大卫一样忠于他的上帝耶和华。 4但他的上帝耶和华因为大卫的缘故,仍然让他儿子在耶路撒冷继位,使耶路撒冷坚立。 5除了乌利亚事件以外,大卫一生都做耶和华视为正的事,没有违背耶和华的任何命令。

6罗波安耶罗波安之间常有战事,一直延续到亚比央王朝。 7亚比央耶罗波安之间也常有战事。亚比央其他的事及其一切所作所为都记在犹大的列王史上。 8亚比央与祖先同眠后葬在大卫城,他儿子亚撒继位。

亚撒做犹大王

9耶罗波安以色列王第二十年,亚撒登基做犹大王, 10他在耶路撒冷执政四十一年。他祖母是押沙龙的女儿玛迦11亚撒效法他祖先大卫,做耶和华视为正的事。 12他从国中驱逐了男庙妓,清除了他祖先制造的一切神像。 13亚撒还废除了他祖母玛迦的太后之位,因为她造了可憎的亚舍拉神像。亚撒把她的神像砍倒,放在汲沦溪烧掉。 14虽然他没有拆毁丘坛,但他一生忠于耶和华。 15他又把他父亲和他自己所献上的金银和器皿都带到耶和华的殿里。

16亚撒以色列巴沙之间常有争战。 17以色列巴沙上来攻打犹大,他修筑拉玛城,企图隔断犹大亚撒与外界的联系。 18于是,亚撒把耶和华殿里和王宫库房里剩余的金银交给臣仆,派他们送给大马士革亚兰王,即他伯利们的儿子、希旬的孙子便·哈达,说: 19“我们之间应立盟约,像我们的父亲之间立约一样,现在奉上金银为礼,请你取消与以色列巴沙立的盟约。这样,他就会从我境内退兵。” 20便·哈达接受了亚撒王的提议,派将领攻打以色列的城邑,攻占了以云亚伯·伯·玛迦基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全境。 21巴沙闻讯,就停止修筑拉玛,退回得撒去了。 22亚撒王令全国的犹大人出动,将巴沙修筑拉玛城的石头和木材搬走,用来修建便雅悯迦巴米斯巴23亚撒其他的事迹、功业和他兴建的城邑都记在犹大的列王史上。亚撒年老的时候,患了脚疾。 24他与祖先同眠后,葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子约沙法继位。

拿答做以色列王

25亚撒犹大王第二年,耶罗波安的儿子拿答登基做以色列王,执政两年。 26拿答像他父亲一样作恶多端,行耶和华视为恶的事,使以色列人陷入罪中。 27-28亚撒犹大王第三年,拿答以色列军围攻非利士基比顿城时,以萨迦支派亚希雅的儿子巴沙叛变,杀了拿答,篡位称王。 29巴沙一做王,立刻诛杀耶罗波安全家,无一幸免,应验了耶和华借祂仆人——示罗亚希雅所说的话。 30这是因为耶罗波安犯罪,并使以色列人陷入罪中,惹以色列的上帝耶和华发怒。 31拿答其他的事及其一切所作所为都记在以色列的列王史上。 32亚撒以色列巴沙执政期间,双方常常争战。

巴沙做以色列王

33犹大亚撒执政第三年,亚希雅的儿子巴沙得撒登基做以色列王,执政二十四年。 34他步耶罗波安的后尘,做耶和华视为恶的事,使以色列人陷入罪中。
