1Kings 14
[1] At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. [2] And Jeroboam
said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be
not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there
is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this
people.
[3] And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and
go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. [4] And
Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the
house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason
of his age.
[5] And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to
ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou
say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign
herself to be another woman.
[6] And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in
at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest
thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. [7]
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I
exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people
Israel,
[8] And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee:
and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments,
and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in
mine eyes;
[9] But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone
and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and
hast cast me behind thy back:
[10] Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and
will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that
is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house
of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. [11] Him that
dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the
field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
[12] Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet
enter into the city, the child shall die. [13] And all Israel shall mourn
for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave,
because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel
in the house of Jeroboam. [14] Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king
over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what?
even now. [15] For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the
water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to
their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have
made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. [16] And he shall give
Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel
to sin.
[17] And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when
she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; [18] And they buried
him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD,
which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
[19] And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he
reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Israel.
[20] And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he
slept with this fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. [21] And
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in
Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of
Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an
Ammonitess.
[22] And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to
jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their
fathers had done.
[23] For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every
high hill, and under every green tree. [24] And there were also sodomites
in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations
which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
[25] And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak
king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: [26] And he took away the
treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house;
he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which
Solomon had made. [27] And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen
shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which
kept the door of the king's house.
[28] And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the
guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber. [29] Now the
rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [30] And there was war
between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. [31] And Rehoboam slept with
his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his
mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his
stead.

1Kings 15
[1] Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned
Abijam over Judah.
[2] Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah,
the daughter of Abishalom.
[3] And 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.
[4] Nevertheless 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: [5]
Because 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. [6] And there was war between
Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
[7] Now 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.
[8] And 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.
[10] And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. [11] And Asa did that which was
right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
[12] And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the
idols that his fathers had made.
[13] And 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.
[14] But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was
perfect with the LORD all his days. [15] And 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.
[16] And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their
days. [17] And 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. [18] 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 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,
[19] There 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. [20] So 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.
[21] And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off
building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. [22] Then 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.
[23] The 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.
[24] And 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.
[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. [26] And 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. [28] Even in the third year of Asa king of
Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
[29] And 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:
[30] Because 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? [32] And
there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. [33] In
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. [34] And 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.

1Kings 16
[1] Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
[2] Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over
my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast
made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins; [3]
Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his
house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
[4] Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that
dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat. [5] Now the rest
of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? [6] So Baasha slept
with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his
stead.
[7] And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the
word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the
evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with
the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he
killed him.
[8] In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of
Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years. [9] And his servant
Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in
Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in
Tirzah.
[10] And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and
seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead. [11] And it
came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that
he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a
wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends. [12] Thus did Zimri
destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which
he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet, [13] For all the sins of
Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which
they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with
their vanities. [14] Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[15] In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign
seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which
belonged to the Philistines.
[16] And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and
hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of
the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. [17] And Omri went up from
Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
[18] And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he
went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over
him with fire, and died,
[19] For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD,
in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make
Israel to sin.
[20] Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[21] Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the
people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half
followed Omri.
[22] But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that
followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. [23] In
the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over
Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. [24] And he bought
the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the
hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of
Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria. [25] But Omri wrought evil in the eyes
of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
[26] For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his
sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to
anger with their vanities.
[27] Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he
shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
[28] So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab
his son reigned in his stead.
[29] And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the
son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over
Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. [30] And Ahab the son of Omri did
evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
[31] And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk
in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the
daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and
worshipped him.
[32] And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had
built in Samaria.
[33] And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of
Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. [34] In
his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation
thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his
youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by
Joshua the son of Nun.
