¶Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat
reigned Abijam over Judah.
2 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was
Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
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 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 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 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of
his life.
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 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the
city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 ¶And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned
Asa over Judah.
10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as
did David his father.
12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all
the idols that his fathers had made.
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 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart
was perfect with the LORD all his days.
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 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their
days.
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 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,
19 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.
20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of
the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon,
and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land
of Naphtali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left
off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none
was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber
thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them
Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 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? Nevertheless in the
time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers
in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned
in his stead.
25 ¶And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel
in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel
two years.
26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way
of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired
against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to
the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him,
and reigned in his stead.
29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that 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 the LORD, which
he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he
made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD
God of Israel to anger.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their
days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of
Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way
of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.

1 ¶Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the
princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in
Mizpah.
2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that
were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan
with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made
governor over the land.
3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah,
at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men
of war.
4 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah,
and no man knew it,
5 That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria,
even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes
rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their
hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet
them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met
them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
7 And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst
of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
8 But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay
us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley,
and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among
their brethren.
9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the
men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the
king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
10 Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people
that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people
that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son
of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over
to the Ammonites.
11 ¶But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah had done,
12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the
son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in
Gibeon.
13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with
Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces that were with him, then they were glad.
14 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from
Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of
Kareah.
15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight
men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of
the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom
he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah,
after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty
men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom
he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which
is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.

1 ¶And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council,
and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering
said unto him, Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered
nothing.
4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold
how many things they witness against thee.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever
they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that
had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the
insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then
that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 ¶And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him,
to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium;
and they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns,
and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him,
and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out
of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
22 ¶And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received
it not.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting
lots upon them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE
KING OF THE JEWS.
27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand,
and the other on his left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered
with the transgressors.
29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in
three days,
30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that
we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled
him.
33 ¶And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over
the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold,
he calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on
a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether
Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that
he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man
was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and
Salome;
41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered
unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
42 ¶And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation,
that is, the day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited
for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and
craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto
him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him
in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of
a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
he was laid.
