4
Nevertheless for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;
5 eo quod fecisset David rectum in oculis Domini et non declinasset ab omnibus quae praeceperat ei cunctis diebus vitae suae excepto sermone Uriae Hetthei
5
because David did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uri'ah the Hittite.

7
The rest of the acts of Abi'jam, 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 Abi'jam and Jerobo'am.

13 insuper et Maacham matrem suam amovit ne esset princeps in sacris Priapi et in luco eius quem consecraverat subvertitque specum eius et confregit simulacrum turpissimum et conbusit in torrente Cedron
13
He also removed Ma'acah his mother from being queen mother because she had an abominable image made for Ashe'rah; and Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

17
Ba'asha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 tollens itaque Asa omne argentum et aurum quod remanserat in thesauris domus Domini et in thesauris domus regiae dedit illud in manu servorum suorum et misit ad Benadad filium Tabremmon filii Ezion regem Syriae qui habitabat in Damasco dicens
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 gave them into the hands of his servants; and King Asa sent them to Ben-ha'dad the son of Tabrim'mon, the son of He'zi-on, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
19 foedus est inter me et te et inter patrem meum et patrem tuum ideo misi tibi munera argentum et aurum et peto ut venias et irritum facias foedus quod habes cum Baasa rege Israhel et recedat a me
19
"Let there be a league between me and you, as between my father and your father: behold, I am sending to you a present of silver and gold; go, break your league with Ba'asha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me."

21
And when Ba'asha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and he dwelt in Tirzah.
22 rex autem Asa nuntium misit in omnem Iudam nemo sit excusatus et tulerunt lapides Rama et ligna eius quibus aedificaverat Baasa et extruxit de eis rex Asa Gaba Beniamin et Maspha
22
Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, none was exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Ba'asha had been building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
23 reliqua autem omnium sermonum Asa et universae fortitudines eius et cuncta quae fecit et civitates quas extruxit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda verumtamen in tempore senectutis suae doluit pedes
23
Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, 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? But in his old age he was diseased in his feet.

He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.
27 insidiatus est autem ei Baasa filius Ahia de domo Isachar et percussit eum in Gebbethon quae est urbs Philisthinorum siquidem Nadab et omnis Israhel obsidebant Gebbethon
27
Ba'asha the son of Ahi'jah, of the house of Is'sachar, conspired against him; and Ba'asha struck him down at Gib'bethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gib'bethon.
28 interfecit igitur illum Baasa in anno tertio Asa regis Iuda et regnavit pro eo
28
So Ba'asha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
29 cumque regnasset percussit omnem domum Hieroboam non dimisit ne unam quidem animam de semine eius donec deleret eum iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat in manu servi sui Ahiae Silonitis
29
And as soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jerobo'am; he left to the house of Jerobo'am not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by his servant Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite;
30 propter peccata Hieroboam quae peccaverat et quibus peccare fecerat Israhel et propter delictum quo inritaverat Dominum Deum Israhel
30
it was for the sins of Jerobo'am which he sinned and which he made Israel to sin, and because of the anger to which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel.
