3 Kingdoms 22

Βασιλειῶν Γ´

1 ΚΑΙ ἐκάθισε τὰ τρία ἔτη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πόλεμος ἀνὰ μέσον Συρίας καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰσραήλ.

And he rested three years, and there was no war between Syria and Israel.

2 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ καὶ κατέβη Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ.

And it came to pass in the third year, that Josaphat king of Juda went down to the king of Israel.

3 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ· εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμῖν Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ, καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας;

And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know you⌃ that Remmath Galaad [is] ours, and we are slow to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

4 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· ἀναβήσῃ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν εἰς Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον;

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Will you go up with us to Remmath Galaad to battle?

5 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφάτ· καθὼς ἐγὼ καὶ σὺ οὕτως, καθὼς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου, καθὼς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ ἵπποι σου. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ· ἐπερωτήσατε δὴ σήμερον τὸν Κύριον.

And Josaphat said, As I [am], so [are] you also; as my people, [so is] your people; as my horses, [so are] your horses. And Josaphat king of Juda said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, of the Lord today.

6 καὶ συνήθροισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας, ὡς τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπον· ἀνάβαινε, καὶ διδοὺς δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

And the king of Israel gathered all the prophets together, about four hundred men; and the king said to them, Shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and they said, Go up, and the Lord will surely give [it] into the hands of the king.

7 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ· οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἐπερωτήσομεν τὸν Κύριον δι᾿ αὐτοῦ;

And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him?

8 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· εἷς ἐστιν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ ἐπερωτῆσαι δι᾿ αὐτοῦ τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐγὼ μεμίσηκα αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐ λαλεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ καλά, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ κακά, Μιχαίας υἱὸς Ἰεμβλαά. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα· μὴ λεγέτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως.

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is one man here [for us] to enquire of the Lord by; but I hate him, for he does not speak good of me, but only evil; Michaias son of Jemblaa. And Josaphat king of Juda said, Let not the king say so.

9 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπε· τὸ τάχος Μιχαίαν υἱὸν Ἰεμβλαά.

And the king of Israel called a eunuch and said, [Bring hither] quickly Michaias son of Jemblaa.

10 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐκάθηντο ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ ἔνοπλοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας, καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda sat, each on his throne, armed in the gates of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

11 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χανανὰ κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν, ἕως συντελεσθῇ.

And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall push Syria, until it be consumed.

12 καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτως λέγοντες· ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ, καὶ εὐοδώσει καὶ δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖράς σου καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Συρίας.

And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying, Go up to Remmath Galaad, and [the thing] shall prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it and the king of Syria into your hands.

13 καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων· ἰδοὺ δὴ λαλοῦσι πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ καλὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως· γίνου δὴ καὶ σὺ εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ἑνὸς τούτων καὶ λάλησον καλά.

And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold now, all the prophets speak with one mouth good concerning the king, let now your words be like the words of one of them, and speak good things.

14 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι ἃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ Κύριος πρός με, ταῦτα λαλήσω.

And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.

15 καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· Μιχαία, εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον, ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβαινε, καὶ εὐοδώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

And he came to the king: and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and he said, Go up, and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

16 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ποσάκις ἐγὼ ὁρκίζω σε ὅπως λαλήσῃς πρός με ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου;

And the king said to him, How often shall I adjure you, that you speak to me truth in the name of the Lord?

17 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· οὐχ οὕτως. ἑώρακα πάντα τὸν Ἰσραὴλ διεσπαρμένον ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς ποίμνιον, ᾧ οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐ κύριος τούτοις Θεός; ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀναστρεφέτω.

And he said, Not so. I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains as a flock without a shepherd: and the Lord said, [Is] not God lord of these? let each one return to his home in peace.

18 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα· οὐκ εἶπα πρός σε ὅτι οὐ προφητεύει οὗτός μοι καλά, διότι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ κακά;

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Did I not say to you that this man does not prophesy good to me, for [he speaks] nothing but evil?

19 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· οὐχ οὕτως, οὐκ ἐγώ, ἄκουε ρῆμα Κυρίου, οὐχ οὕτως· εἶδον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἱστήκει περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων.

And Michaias said, Not so, [it is] not I: hear the word of the Lord; [it is] not so. I saw the God of Israel sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left.

20 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ; καὶ εἶπεν οὗτος οὕτως καὶ οὗτος οὕτως.

And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Remmath Galaad? and one spoke one way, and another another way.

21 καὶ ἐξῆλθε πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν.

And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him.

22 καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Κύριος· ἐν τίνι; καὶ εἶπεν· ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς εἰς τὸ στόμα πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπατήσεις καί γε δυνήσῃ, ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτως.

And the Lord said to him, Whereby? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall deceive him, yes, and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.

23 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκε Κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων, καὶ Κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά.

And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.

24 καὶ προσῆλθε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χανανὰ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπε· ποῖον πνεῦμα Κυρίου τὸ λαλῆσαν ἐν σοί;

And Sedekias the son of Chanaan came near and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said, What sort of a spirit of the Lord [has] spoken in you?

25 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅταν εἰσέλθῃς ταμιεῖον τοῦ ταμιείου τοῦ κρυβῆναι ἐκεῖ.

And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an innermost chamber to hide yourself there.

26 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ· λάβετε τὸν Μιχαίαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε αὐτὸν πρὸς Σεμὴρ τὸν βασιλέα τῆς πόλεως· καὶ τῷ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and convey him away to Semer the keeper of the city;

27 εἰπὸν θέσθαι τοῦτον ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ ἐσθίειν αὐτὸν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

and tell Joas the king's son to put this [fellow] in prison, and to feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.

28 καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, οὐ λελάληκε Κύριος ἐν ἐμοί.

And Michaias said, If you return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.

29 καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ρεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ.

So the king of Israel went up, and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad.

30 καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα· συγκαλύψομαι καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου· καὶ συνεκαλύψατο βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον.

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle, and do you put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

31 καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δυσὶ λέγων· μὴ πολεμεῖτε μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ μονώτατον.

And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight not [against] small or great, but against the king of Israel only.

32 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν· φαίνεται βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ οὗτος· καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν πολεμῆσαι, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν Ἰωσαφάτ.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda, that they said, this seems [to be] the king of Israel. And they compassed him about to fight [against] him; and Josaphat cried out.

33 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ οὗτος, καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they returned from him.

34 καὶ ἐπέτεινεν εἷς τὸ τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος. καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἡνιόχῳ αὐτοῦ· ἐπίστρεψον τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, ὅτι τέτρωμαι.

And one drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to his charioteer, Turn your hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded.

35 καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξεναντίας Συρίας ἀπὸ πρωΐ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐπέχυνε τὸ αἷμα ἀπὸ τῆς πληγῆς εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ ἅρματος· καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο τὸ αἷμα τῆς τροπῆς ἕως τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ ἅρματος.

And the war was turned in that day, and the king was standing on the chariot, against Syria from morning till evening; and he shed the blood out of his wound, into the bottom of the chariot, and died at even, and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.

36 καὶ ἔστη ὁ στρατοκήρυξ δύοντος τοῦ ἡλίου λέγων· ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν,

And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land,

37 ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ βασιλεύς. καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἔθαψαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

for the king is dead. And they came to Samaria, and buried the king in Samaria.

38 καὶ ἀπένιψαν τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐξέλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα, καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐλούσαντο ἐν τῷ αἵματι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησε.

And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots washed themselves in the blood, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.

39 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀχαὰβ καὶ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησε, καὶ οἶκον ἐλεφάντινον, ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις, ἃς ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

And the rest of the acts of Achaab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities which he built, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

40 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀχαὰβ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

And Achaab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.

41 Καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀσὰ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν· ἐν ἔτει τετάρτῳ τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσαφάτ.

And Josaphat the son of Asa reigned over Juda: in the fourth year of Achaab king of Israel began Josaphat to reign.

42 υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀζουβὰ θυγάτηρ Σαλαΐ.

Thirty and five years old [was he] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Azuba daughter of Salai.

43 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου·

And he walked in all the way of Asa his father: he turned not from it, even from doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord.

44 πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῇρεν, ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς.

Only he took not away [any] of the high places: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

45 καὶ εἰρήνευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ.

And Josaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.

46 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα; [47 Καὶ περισσὸν τοῦ ἐνδιηλλαγμένου, ὃ ὑπελείφθη ἐν ἡμέραις Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἐπέλεξεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.

And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his mighty deeds, whatever he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

48 καὶ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἦν ἐν Ἐδὲμ ἐστηλωμένος. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς

This verse is not in Brenton's English, which follows another reading of the Greek.

49 Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐποίησε νῆας εἰς Θαρσὶς τοῦ πορευθῆναι Ὠφέρδε εἰς χρυσίον, καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν νῆες ἐν Ἀσεὼν Γαβέρ.

This verse is not in Brenton's English, which follows another reading of the Greek.

50 τότε εἶπε Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· πορευθήτωσαν δοῦλοί μου μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου ταῖς ναυσί· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Ἰωσαφάτ.]

This verse is not in Brenton's English, which follows another reading of the Greek.

51 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη παρὰ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried by his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his stead.

52 Καὶ Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἐβασίλευεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ δύο ἔτη.

And Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria: in the seventeenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria two years.

53 καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὁδῷ Ἰεζάβελ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις οἴκου Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Achaab his father, and in the way of Jezabel his mother, and in the sins of the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who caused Israel to sin.

54 καὶ ἐδούλευσε τοῖς Βααλὶμ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ παρώργισε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, κατὰ πάντα τὰ γενόμενα ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.

And he served Baalim, and worshipped them, and provoked the Lord God of Israel, according to all that had been done before him.
