Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
1Καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, βασιλεύει Ἀβιοὺ υἱὸς Ῥοβοὰμ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν·
2and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
2Καὶ τρία ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μααχὰ, θυγάτηρ Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
3And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
3Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ αἷς ἐποίησεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἡ καρδία τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
4Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
4Ὅτι διὰ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Κύριος κατάλειμμα, ἵνα στήσῃ τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ στήσῃ τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ·
5For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
5ὡς ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ.
6And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
no verse 6 in this text
7As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
7Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀβιοὺ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα; καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀναμέσον Ἀβιοὺ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἱεροβοάμ.
8And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
8Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀβιοὺ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ εἰκοστῷ καὶ τετάρτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ· καὶ βασιλεύει Ἀσὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
9In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
9Ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τετάρτῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, βασιλεύει Ἀσὰ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν·
10and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
10Καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀνὰ, θυγάτηρ Ἀβεσσαλώμ.
11And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
11Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἀσὰ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
12He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
12Καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὰς τελετὰς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πάντα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ.
13He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
13Καὶ τὴν Ἀνὰ τὴν μητέρα ἑαυτοῦ μετέστησε τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἡγουμένην, καθὼς ἐποίησε σύνοδον ἐν τῷ ἄλσει αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐξέκοψεν Ἀσὰ τὰς καταδύσεις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐνέπρησε πυρὶ ἐν τῷ χειμάῤῥῳ τῶν Κέδρων.
14The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
14Τὰ δὲ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρε· πλὴν ἡ καρδία Ἀσὰ ἦν τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ.
15And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
15Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τοὺς κίονας τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς κίονας αὐτοῦ εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἀργυροῦς καὶ χρυσοῦς, καὶ σκεύη.
16Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
16Καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀναμέσον Ἀσὰ καὶ ἀναμέσον Βαασὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν.
17Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
17Καὶ ἀνέβη Βαασὰ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Ῥαμὰ, τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἐκπορευόμενον καὶ εἰσπορευόμενον τῷ Ἀσὰ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα.
18So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
18Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀσὰ σύμπαν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας παίδων αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ πρὸς υἱὸν Ἄδερ υἱὸν Ταβερεμὰ υἱοῦ Ἀζὶν βασιλέως Συρίας τοῦ κατοικοῦντος ἐν Δαμασκῷ, λέγων,
19“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
19διάθου διαθήκην ἀναμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον σοῦ, καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τοῦ πατρός σου· ἰδοὺ ἐξαπέσταλκά σοι δῶρα ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον· δεῦρο, διασκέδασον τὴν διαθήκην σου τὴν πρὸς Βαασὰ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
20And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
20Καὶ ἤκουσεν υἱὸς Ἄδερ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσά, καὶ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων αὐτοῦ ταῖς πόλεσι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Ἀῒν, τὴν Δὰν, καὶ τὴν Ἀβὲλ οἴκου Μααχὰ, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν Χεννερὲθ, ἕως πάσης τῆς γῆς Νεφθαλί.
21When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
21Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσε Βαασὰ, καὶ διέλιπε τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν τὴν Ῥαμὰ, καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν εἰς Θερσά.
22Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
22Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ παρήγγειλε παντὶ Ἰούδα εἰς ἐνακὶμ, καὶ αἴρουσι τοὺς λίθους τῆς Ῥαμὰ, καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾠκοδόμησε Βαασά· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσὰ πᾶν βουνὸν Βενιαμὶν καὶ τὴν σκοπιάν.
23Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
23Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀσὰ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ τὰς πόλεις ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα; πλὴν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ γήρως αὐτοῦ ἐπόνεσε τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.
24And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
24Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀσὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ βασιλεύει Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
25In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
25Καὶ Ναβὰτ υἱὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ βασιλεύει ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τοῦ Ἀσὰ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἔτη δύο.
26And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
26Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ αἷς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
27Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.
27Καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὸν Βαασὰ υἱὸς Ἀχιὰ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βελαὰν υἱοῦ Ἀχιὰ, καὶ ἐχάραξεν αὐτὸν ἐν Γαβαθὼν τῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ Ναβὰτ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ περιεκάθητο ἐπὶ Γαβαθών.
28In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
28Καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν Βαασὰ ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τοῦ Ἀσὰ υἱοῦ Ἀσὰ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν.
29As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
29Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐβασίλευσε, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείπετο πᾶσαν πνοὴν τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ ἕως τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτὸν, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἀχιὰ τοῦ Σηλωνίτου·
30because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
30περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἱεροβοὰμ, ὅς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐν τῷ παροργισμῷ αὐτοῦ ᾧ παρώργισε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
31As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
31Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ναβὰτ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
32And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
no verse 32 in this text
33In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
33Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τρίτῳ τοῦ Ἀσὰ βασιλέως Ἰούδα βασιλεύει Βαασὰ υἱὸς Ἀχιὰ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Θερσᾷ εἴκοσι καὶ τέσσαρα ἔτη.
34And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
34Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
