Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Maacah, daughter of Absalom.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not whole with HaShem his G-d, as the heart of David his father.

And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].

Nevertheless for David's sake did HaShem his G-d give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

Howbeit for David’s sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.

because David did that which was right in the eyes of HaShem, 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.

Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life.

And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Ana, daughter of Absalom.

And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of HaShem, as did David his father.

And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.

And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.

And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burned them with fire in the brook of Kidron.

But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole with HaShem all his days.

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of HaShem, 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 Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:

And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and King Asa sent them out to the son of Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon son of Hezion king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

'There is a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'

Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may go up from me.

And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

And the son of Hadad hearkened to King Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacah, and all Chinneroth, as far as the whole land of Naphtali.

And King Asa charged all Judah without exception: and they take up the stones of Ramah and its timbers [with] which Baasha was building; and King Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watchtower.

Now 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? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these 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.

And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, 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 HaShem, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he had destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; because of his provocation wherewith he provoked HaShem, the G-d of Israel.
