1	In the eighteenth yere of king Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat, raigned Abiam ouer Iuda.	Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam began to reign over Judah.	In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijah became king of Judah,
2	Three yeres raigned he in Hierusalem: and his mothers name was Maacha, the daughter of Abisalom.	He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.	and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maakah daughter of Abishalom.
3	And he walked in all the sinnes of his father which he had done before him, and his heart was not perfect with the Lorde his God, as the heart of Dauid his father.	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.	He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4	Neuerthelesse, for Dauids sake did the Lorde his God geue him a lyght in Hierusalem, that he set vp his sonne after him, and stablished Hierusalem:	Nevertheless, for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem,	Nevertheless, for David’s sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and by making Jerusalem strong.
5	Because Dauid did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned from nothing that he commaunded him all the dayes of his lyfe, saue onely in the matter of Urias the Hethite.	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.	For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not failed to keep any of the LORD’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6	And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam, as long as he lyued.	Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.	There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam throughout Abijah’s lifetime.
7	The rest of the wordes that concerne Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the cronicles of the kinges of Iuda? And there was warre betweene Abiam & Ieroboam.	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.	As for the other events of Abijah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
8	And Abiam slept with his fathers, & they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne raigned in his steade.	And Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place.	And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Asa his son succeeded him as king.
9	In the twentith yere of Ieroboam king of Israel raigned Asa ouer Iuda.	In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah,	In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
10	Fourtie & one yeres raigned he in Hierusalem: and his mothers name was Maacha, the daughter of Abisalom.	and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.	and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maakah daughter of Abishalom.
11	And Asa did that seemed ryght in the eyes of the Lorde, as did Dauid his father.	And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as David his father had done.	Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12	And he toke away the male stewes out of the lande, and put away all the abhominable idols that his fathers had made.	He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.	He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his ancestors had made.
13	And he put downe Maacha his mother from bearing rule, because she had made an idoll in a groue: And Asa destroyed her idoll, and burnt it by the brooke Cedron.	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.	He even deposed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14	But the hie places were not put downe: Neuerthelesse Asa his heart was perfect with the Lorde all his dayes.	But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the LORD all his days.	Although he did not remove the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.
15	He brought in the holy vessels of his father, and that he had dedicate vnto the house of the Lord, golde, and siluer, and iewels.	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.	He brought into the temple of the LORD the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
16	And there was warre betweene Asa, & Baasa king of Israel all their dayes.	And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.	There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their reigns.
17	And Baasa king of Israel went vp against Iuda, and built Rama, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa king of Iuda.	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.	Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
18	Then Asa toke al the siluer and golde that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lorde, and the treasures of the kinges house, and deliuered them vnto the handes of his seruauntes, and king Asa sent them to Benhadad the sonne of Tabrimon the sonne of Hezion king of Syria that dwelt at Damasco, saying:	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,	Asa then took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the LORD’s temple and of his own palace. He entrusted it to his officials and sent them to Ben-Hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus.
19	There is a bonde betweene me & thee, betweene my father and thy father: and beholde I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde, that thou come and breake the bonde that thou hast with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.	“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.”	“Let there be a treaty between me and you,” he said, “as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me.”
20	So Benhadad hearkened vnto king Asa, & sent the captaynes of the hoastes which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Hion, and Dan, and Abel, Beth Maacah, and all the region of Ceneroth, with all the lande of Nephthali.	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.	Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maakah and all Kinnereth in addition to Naphtali.
21	And when Baasa heard thereof, he left building of Rama, and dwelt in Thirza.	And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he lived in Tirzah.	When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
22	Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Iuda, that none should be excused: And so they toke the stones of Ramah and the tymber wherewith Baasa had builded, and king Asa built with them the hill of Beniamin and Mispah.	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.	Then King Asa issued an order to all Judah—no one was exempt—and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using there. With them King Asa built up Geba in Benjamin, and also Mizpah.
23	The remnaunt of all the wordes that concerne Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he builded, are they not written in the booke of the cronicles of the kinges of Iuda? Neuerthelesse, in his olde age he was diseased in his feete.	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.	As for all the other events of Asa’s reign, all his achievements, all he did and the cities he built, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? In his old age, however, his feet became diseased.
24	And Asa slept with his fathers, & was buried beside his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father: And Iehosaphat his sonne raigned in his steade.

26	And he did euill in ye sight of the Lord, walking in ye way of his father, & in his sinne wherewith he made Israel sinne.	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.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the ways of his father and committing the same sin his father had caused Israel to commit.
27	And Baasa the sonne of Ahia, which was of the house of Isachar, conspired against him, and Baasa smote him at Gibbethon, which is a citie of the Philistines (for Nadab and al Israel layed siege to Gibbethon)	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	Euen in the third yere of Asa king of Iuda, did Baasa slay him, and raigned in his steade.	So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.	Baasha killed Nadab in the third year of Asa king of Judah and succeeded him as king.
29	And it fortuned that when he was king, he smote all the house of Ieroboam, and he left him naught that breathed, vntill he had put him cleane out, according vnto the saying of the Lorde which he spake by his seruaunt Ahia the Selonite:	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.	As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam’s whole family. He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the LORD given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30	Because of the sinnes of Ieroboam, wherewith he sinned and made Israel sinne, when he with his prouocation angred the Lorde God of Israel.	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.	This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel.
31	The rest of the wordes that concerne Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the cronicles of the kinges of Israel?	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?

34	And he did that which is euill in the sight of the Lorde, walking in the way of Ieroboam, and in his sinne, wherewith he made Israel to sinne.	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.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
