[2 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/2) Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name *was* Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.** [3 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/3) 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. [4 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/4) 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:* [5 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/5) 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. [6 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/6) And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. [7 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/7) 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. [8 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/8) And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. [9 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/9) ¶ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. [10 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/10) And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name *was* Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.* [11 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/11) And Asa did *that which was* right in the eyes of the LORD, as *did* David his father. [12 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/12) And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. [13 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/13) 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.* [14 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/14) But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. [15 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/15) 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.* [16 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/16) ¶ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. [17 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/17) 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. [18 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/18) 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 delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, [1 Kings 14](/kjv/1-kings/14) [1 Kings 16](/kjv/1-kings/16) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/1-kings/15/1-15#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/1-kings/15/1-15#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/1-kings/15/1-15","name":"1 Kings 15:1-15 KJV - \"Now in the eighteenth year of king Jer...\" | Real Bible Believers","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/1-kings/15/1-15#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"\"Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
