Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asa.

and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,

Solomon was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah. Abijah was the father of Asa.

Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, Abijah fathered Asa,

Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, and Abijah fathered Asa.

Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa.

and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;

Solomon fathered Rehoboam, Rehoboam fathered Abijah, Abijah fathered Asa,

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa,

Solomon’s son was Rehoboam, Abijah his son, Asa his son, Jehoshaphat his son,Joram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son,Ahaz his son, Hezekiah his son, Manasseh his son,Amon his son, and Josiah his son.

Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place.In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.He reigned forty- one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.Asa did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, as David his father did.He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh all his days.He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,“ There is a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa used it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they 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.

When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.

So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.Asa did that which was good and right in Yahweh his God’s eyes;for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles,and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command.Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest.For he said to Judah,“ Let’s build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said,“ Yahweh, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don’t let man prevail against you.”So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and so many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yahweh and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of Yahweh came on them, and they plundered all the cities; for there was much plunder in them.They also struck the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.

Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it( for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt,and they sent and called him), Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,“ Your father made our yoke difficult. Now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.”He said to them,“ Depart for three days, then come back to me.” So the people departed.King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying,“ What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”They replied,“ If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.He said to them,“ What counsel do you give, that we may answer these people, who have spoken to me, saying,‘ Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?’”The young men who had grown up with him said to him,“ Tell these people who spoke to you, saying,‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter to us;’ tell them,‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist.Now my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.’”So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying,“ Come to me again the third day.”The king answered the people roughly, and abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him,and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying,“ My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.”So the king didn’t listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about from Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.When all Israel saw that the king didn’t listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,“ What portion have we in David? We don’t have an inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David.” So Israel departed to their tents.But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.So Israel rebelled against David’s house to this day.When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed David’s house, except for the tribe of Judah only.When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,“ Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,‘ Yahweh says,“ You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house; for this thing is from me.”’” So they listened to Yahweh’s word, and returned and went their way, according to Yahweh’s word.

Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
