1In the 18th year of King Jeroboam, Abijam was vibing as king over Judah.

2He ruled for three years in Jerusalem, and his mom was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

3He was totally walking in all the sins of his dad, and his heart wasn’t on point with the Lord, unlike King David.

4But for David’s sake, God kept a light in Jerusalem for him, setting up his son to reign and keeping the city lit.

5David was doing what was right in the Lord’s eyes, never straying from His commands, except for that whole Uriah situation, no cap.

6There was beef between Rehoboam and Jeroboam for the whole time they were alive.

7All the other stuff Abijam did? It’s in the chronicles of Judah’s kings, and he had that ongoing war with Jeroboam.

8Abijam passed away and was buried with his fam in the city of David; then his son Asa popped off as king.

9In the 20th year of Jeroboam, Asa took over Judah as king.

10He ruled for 41 years in Jerusalem, and his mom was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.

11Asa was out here doing what’s right in God’s eyes, just like his dad David. Vibes.

12He kicked the sodomites outta the land and ditched all the idols his fam made. No cap.

13Even his mom Maachah got the boot from being queen 'cause she made an idol in a grove; Asa smashed it and burned it by the brook Kidron. Savage.

14The high places were still chillin', but Asa’s heart was lit with the Lord all his days.

15He brought in all the stuff his dad dedicated and what he dedicated too—silver, gold, and vessels—into the Lord’s house. Bussin’.

16There was beef between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, like, forever.

17Baasha rolled up on Judah and built Ramah to block anyone from rolling in or out to Asa, king of Judah. Sus.

18Asa took all the silver and gold left in the Lord’s house and the king’s crib, gave it to his boys, and sent it to Ben-hadad, king of Syria, saying,

19“We’re tight, me and you, and my dad and your dad too. I’m sending you a gift of silver and gold; come break your deal with Baasha so he can bounce.”

20Ben-hadad listened to king Asa and sent his captains to the cities of Israel, and they wrecked Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, plus the whole land of Naphtali. Goated.

21So, Baasha heard the tea and dipped on building Ramah, chillin' in Tirzah instead.

22King Asa went full boss mode and announced to all Judah: no one was off the hook. They snatched the stones and wood from Ramah that Baasha used, and Asa built up Geba and Mizpah with that.

23All the epic stuff Asa did, his strength, and the cities he built? Yeah, that’s all in the chronicles of Judah kings. But no cap, he had some foot problems in his old age.

24Asa kicked the bucket and was laid to rest with his fam in David's city. Jehoshaphat, his son, popped off as king after him.

25Nadab, Jeroboam's kid, took over Israel in Asa's second year as king and ruled for two years.

26He was sus in the Lord's eyes, following in his dad's footsteps and leading Israel into sin.

27Baasha, Ahijah's son from Issachar, plotted against him and took him out at Gibbethon, where the Philistines were chillin'; Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege there.

28In Asa's third year, Baasha took him down and became king himself.

29When he took the throne, he wiped out all of Jeroboam's fam, leaving no survivors, just like the Lord said through Ahijah the Shilonite.

30All this happened because of Jeroboam's sins that got Israel in trouble, making the Lord super angry.

31So like, all the stuff Nadab did, you can peep it in the chronicles of the kings of Israel, no cap?

32Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, were beefing the whole time, fr.

33In year three of Asa's reign, Baasha, son of Ahijah, popped off and ruled all Israel from Tirzah for 24 years.

34He was sus in God's eyes, following Jeroboam's bad vibes, making Israel trip up too.

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.

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:

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.

9And 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.

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.

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.

16And 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.

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.

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.

25And 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.

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.

27And 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.

31Now 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.
