Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה (וּ) u. “and”וּבֵ֥ין (וּ) u. “and”

And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

וְשֵׁ֣ם (וְ) ve. “and”

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

וְשֵׁ֣ם (וְ) ve. “and”

And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.

וְלֹא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

וְאַרְבָּעִ֤ים (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַחַת֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְשֵׁ֣ם (וְ) ve. “and”

And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.

וְגַ֣ם׀ (וְ) ve. “and”

The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

וְהַבָּמ֖וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”

He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

וּמִלְחָמָ֨ה (וּ) u. “and”וּבֵ֛ין (וּ) u. “and”

And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.

Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

וְהַזָּהָ֜ב (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.

וּבֵינֶ֔ךָ (וּ) u. “and”וּבֵ֣ין (וּ) u. “and”וְזָהָ֔ב (וְ) ve. “and”וְיַעֲלֶ֖ה (וְ) ve. “so”

So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֵ֖ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֵת֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
