11:015:003 And 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. 11:015:004 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 11:015:005 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, 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. 11:015:006 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 11:015:007 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, 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 Abijam and Jeroboam. 11:015:008 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. 11:015:009 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 11:015:010 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 11:015:011 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 11:015:012 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 11:015:013 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. 11:015:014 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 11:015:015 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels. 11:015:016 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 11:015:017 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 11:015:018 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 delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 11:015:019 There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
