2
Three years reigned he in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Ma`akhah the daughter of Avishalom.
3
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 Yerushalayim, to set up his son after him, and to establish Yerushalayim;
5
because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and didn't turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriyah the Hittite.
6
Now there was war between Rechav`am and Yarov`am all the days of his life.
7
The rest of the acts of Aviyam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah? There was war between Aviyam and Yarov`am.
8
Aviyam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.
9
In the twentieth year of Yarov`am king of Yisra'el began Asa to reign over Yehudah.
10
Forty-one years reigned he in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Ma`akhah the daughter of Avishalom.
11
Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
12
He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
