He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother was named Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He followed the sinful example his father had set and wasn’t committed to the Lord his God as his ancestor David had been.

But for David’s sake the Lord his God made Abijam a lamp in Jerusalem. He appointed David’s descendant to rule after him and protected Jerusalem.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The Lord did this because David did what the Lord considered right: David never failed to do anything the Lord commanded him to do his entire life (except in the matter concerning Uriah the Hittite).
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
There was war between Abijam and Rehoboam throughout their lives.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Isn’t everything else about Abijam—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

He forced the male temple prostitutes out of the land and got rid of the idols his father had made.

He also removed his grandmother Maacah from the position of queen mother because she made a statue of the repulsive goddess Asherah. Asa cut the statue down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Although the illegal worship sites were not torn down, Asa remained committed to the Lord his entire life.

He brought into the Lord’s temple the silver, the gold, and the utensils he and his father had set apart as holy.

There was war between Asa and King Baasha of Israel as long as they lived.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
King Baasha of Israel invaded Judah and fortified Ramah to keep anyone from going to or coming from King Asa of Judah.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and the royal palace and turned them over to his officials. King Asa sent them to Damascus to Aram’s King Benhadad, son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion.

He said, “There’s a treaty between you and me as there was between your father and my father. I’m sending you a present of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel so that he will leave me alone.”
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Benhadad did what King Asa requested. He sent his generals and their armies to attack the cities of Israel. He conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, and the entire area around Chinneroth with the entire territory of Naphtali.

When Baasha heard the news, he stopped fortifying Ramah and lived in Tirzah.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD

Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Isn’t everything else about Asa—all his heroic acts, everything he did, and the cities he fortified—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? But when he was old, he had a foot disease.

Nadab, son of Jeroboam, began to rule Israel in Asa’s second year as king of Judah. He ruled for two years.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
He did what the Lord considered evil, living as his father did, leading Israel into the same sins.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then Baasha, son of Ahijah from the tribe of Issachar, plotted against Nadab. Baasha assassinated him in the Philistine city of Gibbethon while Nadab and the Israelite forces were attacking it.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
The assassination happened in Asa’s third year as king of Judah. Baasha succeeded Nadab as king of Israel.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
As soon as he was king, he killed everyone else in Jeroboam’s family. He did not spare a soul, as the Lord had spoken through his servant Ahijah from Shiloh.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
This was because of Jeroboam’s sins and the sins which he led Israel to commit. Those sins made the Lord God of Israel furious.
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
