15:1Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah. 15:2Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 15:3And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father. 15:4Nevertheless for David's sake did Jehovah his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem; 15:5because David did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 15:6Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
15:7And 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. 15:8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
15:9And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah. 15:10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 15:11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father. 15:12And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 15:13And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 15:14But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Jehovah all his days. 15:15And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
15:16And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 15:17And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 15:18Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, 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 Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 15:19There is a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 15:20And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 15:21And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 15:22Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
15:23Now 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? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 15:24And 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.
15:25And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years. 15:26And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 15:27And 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 were laying siege to Gibbethon. 15:28Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 15:29And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, 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 Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite; 15:30for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation wherewith he provoked Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger.
15:31Now 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? 15:32And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
15:33In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty and four years. 15:34And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
2:1For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2:2that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ, 2:3in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. 2:4This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. 2:5For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 2:6As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 2:7rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 2:8Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ: 2:9for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, 2:10and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power: 2:11in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ; 2:12having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. 2:13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; 2:14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross; 2:15having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 2:16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day: 2:17which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's. 2:18Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 2:19and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increasing with the increase of God. 2:20If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, 2:21Handle not, nor taste, nor touch 2:22(all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men? 2:23Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
45:1Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about. 45:2Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred in length by five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round about. 45:3And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy. 45:4It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. 45:5And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves, for twenty chambers. 45:6And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel. 45:7And whatsoever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border. 45:8In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes. 45:9Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. 45:10Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 45:11The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer. 45:12And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. 45:13This is the oblation that ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley; 45:14and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;) 45:15and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel; -for a meal-offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah. 45:16All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel. 45:17And it shall be the prince's part to give the burnt-offerings, and the meal-offerings, and the drink-offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin-offering, and the meal-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel. 45:18Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish; and thou shalt cleanse the sanctuary. 45:19And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court. 45:20And so thou shalt do on the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for the house. 45:21In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. 45:22And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering. 45:23And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering. 45:24And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 45:25In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin-offering, according to the burnt-offering, and according to the meal-offering, and according to the oil.
99:1Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble:
He *sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
99:2Jehovah is great in Zion;
And he is high above all the peoples.
99:3Let them praise thy great and terrible name:
Holy is he.
99:4The king's strength also loveth justice;
Thou dost establish equity;
Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.
99:5Exalt ye Jehovah our God,
And worship at his footstool:
Holy is he.
99:6Moses and Aaron among his priests,
And Samuel among them that call upon his name;
They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.
99:7He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud:
They kept his testimonies,
And the statute that he gave them.
99:8Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God:
Thou wast a God that forgavest them,
Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
99:9Exalt ye Jehovah our God,
And worship at his holy hill;
For Jehovah our God is holy.
A Psalm *of thanksgiving.
100:1Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, *all ye lands.
100:2Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing.
100:3Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, *and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
100:4Enter into his gates with *thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.
100:5For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.
A Psalm of David.
101:1I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
101:2I will *behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house *with a perfect heart.
101:3I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate *the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
101:4A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no *evil thing.
101:5Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
101:6Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
101:7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
101:8Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
