1 Kings 22

1 Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.

1 وَانْقَضَتْ ثَلاثُ سَنَوَاتٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَنْشَبَ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَ أَرَامَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,

2 وَفِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَدِمَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا لِزِيَارَةِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

3 who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”

3 فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِرِجَالِهِ: «أَتَدْرُونَ أَنَّ رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ هِيَ لَنَا، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ نَفْعَلُ شَيْئاً لاِسْتِرْجَاعِهَا مِنْ أَرَامَ؟»

4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”

4 وَسَأَلَ آخْابُ يَهُوشَافَاطَ: «هَلْ تَشْتَرِكُ مَعِي فِي الْحَرْبِ لاِسْتِرْجَاعِ رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «مَثَلِي مَثَلُكَ: شَعْبِي كَشَعْبِكَ وَخَيْلِي كَخَيْلِكَ».

5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”

5 ثُمَّ قَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ لِمَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «اطْلُبِ الْيَوْمَ مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ».

6 So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

6 فَجَمَعَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعِ مِئَةٍ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ الأَصْنَامِ وَسَأَلَهُمْ: «هَلْ أَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ أَمْ أَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَأَجَابُوهُ: «اذْهَبْ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ سَيَنْصُرُكَ وَيُسَلِّمُهَا لَكَ».

7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”

7 فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «أَلا يُوْجَدُ هُنَا بَعْدُ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ الرَّبِّ فَنَسْأَلَهُ الْمَشُورَةَ؟»

8 The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.

8 فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «يُوْجَدُ بَعْدُ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ، يُمْكِنُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ أَنْ نَطْلُبَ مَشُورَةَ الرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنِّي أَمْقُتُهُ لأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ. إِنَّهُ مِيخَا بْنُ يَمْلَةَ». فَقَالَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ: «لا تَقُلْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ».

9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”

9 فَأَمَرَ آخْابُ أَحَدَ رِجَالِهِ بِاسْتِدْعَاءِ مِيخَا بنِ يَمْلَةَ.

10 Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.

10 وَكَانَ كُلٌّ مِنْ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا يَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَرْشٍ فِي سَاحَةٍ عِنْدَ مَدْخَلِ بَابِ السَّامِرَةِ، وَقَدِ ارْتَدَيَا حُلَلَهُمَا الْمَلَكِيَّةَ، وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ جَمِيعُهُمْ يَتَنَبَّأُونَ أَمَامَهُمَا.

11 Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”

11 وَصَنَعَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ قَرْنَيْ حَدِيدٍ وَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: بِهَذِهِ تَنْطَحُ الأَرَامِيِّينَ حَتَّى يَهْلِكُوا».

12 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

12 وَتَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْكَلامِ قَائِلِينَ: «اذْهَبْ إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ».

13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”

13 وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ الَّذِي انْطَلَقَ لاِسْتِدْعَاءِ مِيخَا: «لَقَدْ تَنَبَّأَ جَمِيعُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِفَمٍ وَاحِدٍ مُبَشِّرِينَ الْمَلِكَ بِالْخَيْرِ، فَلْيَكُنْ كَلامُكَ مُوَافِقاً لِكَلامِهِمْ يَحْمِلُ بَشَائِرَ الْخَيْرِ».

14 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”

14 فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِنَّنِي لَنْ أَنْطِقَ إِلّا بِمَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ».

15 When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

15 وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ سَأَلَهُ: «يَا مِيخَا، هَلْ نَذْهَبُ لِلْحَرْبِ إِلَى رَاُموتَ جِلْعَادَ، أَمْ نَمْتَنِعُ؟» فَأَجَابَهُ (بِتَهَكُّمٍ): «اذْهَبْ فَتَظْفَرَ بِها لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُهَا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ».

16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”

16 فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: «كَمْ مَرَّةٍ اسْتَحْلَفْتُكَ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ أَلّا تُخْبِرَنِي إِلّا الْحَقَّ».

17 So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”

17 عِنْدَئِذٍ قَالَ مِيخَا: «رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مُبَدَّدِينَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ كَخِرَافٍ بِلا رَاعٍ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: لَيْسَ لِهَؤُلاءِ قَائِدٌ، فَلْيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ بِسَلامٍ».

18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”

18 فَقَالَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ عَلَيَّ بِغَيْرِ الشَّرِّ؟»

19 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.

19 فَأَجَابَ مِيخَا: «إِذاً فَاسْمَعْ كَلامَ الرَّبِّ: قَدْ شَاهَدْتُ الرَّبَّ جَالِساً عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ وَكُلُّ أَجْنَادِ السَّمَاءِ مَاثِلَةٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ.

20 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.

20 فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ: مَنْ يُغْرِي آخْابَ لِيَخْرُجَ لِلْحَرْبِ وَيَمُوتَ فِي رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ؟ فَأَجَابَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ.

21 Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.

21 ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ رُوحُ الضَّلالِ وَقَالَ: أَنَا أُغْوِيهِ. فَسَأَلَهُ الرَّبُّ: بِمَاذَا؟

22 And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’

22 فَأَجَابَ: أَخْرُجُ، وَأُصْبِحُ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ. فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: إِنَّكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِغْوَائِهِ وَتُفْلِحُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَامْضِ وَنَفِّذْ هَذَا الأَمْرَ.

23 So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

23 وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ جَعَلَ الآنَ رُوحَ ضَلالٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ هَؤُلاءِ، وَقَدْ قَضَى عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّرِّ».

24 Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”

24 فَاقْتَرَبَ صِدْقِيَّا بْنُ كَنْعَنَةَ مِنْ مِيخَا وَضَرَبَهُ عَلَى الْفَكِّ قَائِلاً: «مِنْ أَيْنَ عَبَرَ رُوحُ الرَّبِّ مِنِّي لِيُكَلِّمَكَ؟»

25 Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”

25 فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «سَتَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تَلْجَأُ فِيهِ لِلاخْتِبَاءِ مِنْ مُخْدَعٍ إِلَى مُخْدَعٍ».

26 And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,

26 حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً: «اقْبِضُوا عَلَى مِيخَا وَسَلِّمُوهُ إِلَى آمُونَ رَئِيسِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَإِلَى يُوآشَ ابْنِ الْمَلِكِ،

27 and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”

27 وَقُولُوا لَهُمَا: إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِإِيْدَاعِ هَذَا فِي السِّجْنِ، وَأَطْعِمُوهُ خُبْزَ الضِّيقِ وَمَاءَ الضِّيقِ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ بِسَلامٍ».

28 But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”

28 فَأَجَابَهُ مِيخَا: «إِنْ رَجَعْتَ بِسَلامٍ لَا يَكُونُ الرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَى لِسَانِي، فَاشْهَدُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيُّهَا الشَّعْبُ جَمِيعاً».

29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

29 وَتوَجَّهَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوشَافَاطُ مَلِكُ يَهُوذَا إِلَى رَامُوتَ جِلْعَادَ.

30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.

30 فَقَالَ آخْابُ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «إِنَّنِي سَأَخُوضُ الْحَرْبَ مُتَنَكِّراً، أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَارْتَدِ ثِيَابَكَ الْمَلَكِيَّةَ». وَهَكَذَا تَنَكَّرَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَخَاضَ الْحَرْبَ.

31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”

31 وَقَالَ مَلِكُ أَرَامَ لِقَادَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ الاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ: «لا تُحَارِبُوا صَغِيراً وَلا كَبِيراً إِلّا مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَحْدَهُ».

32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.

32 فَلَمَّا شَاهَدَ قَادَةُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ، ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَحَاصَرُوهُ لِيُقَاتِلُوهُ، فَأَطْلَقَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ صَرْخَةً،

33 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

33 أَدْرَكُوا مِنْهَا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَارْتَدُّوا عَنْهُ.

34 However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”

34 وَلَكِنْ حَدَثَ أَنَّ جُنْدِيًّا أَطْلَقَ سَهْمَهُ مِنْ قَوْسِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَعَمِّدٍ، فَأَصَابَ مَلِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ بَيْنَ أَوْصَالِ دِرْعِهِ، فَقَالَ آخْابُ لِقَائِدِ مَرْكَبَتِهِ: «اسْتَدِرْ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ أَرْضِ الْمَعْرَكَةِ فَقَدْ جُرِحْتُ»

35 The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.

35 وَاشْتَدَّتِ الْمَعْرَكَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، وَأَوْقَفَ الْمَلِكُ مَرْكَبَتَهُ فِي مُوَاجَهَةِ الأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَاتَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ، فَجَرَى دَمُ الْجُرْحِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْمَرْكَبَةِ.

36 As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”

36 وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ تَجَاوَبَتْ صَرْخَةٌ بَيْنَ قُوَّاتِ الْجَيْشِ: «لِيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ وَإِلَى أَرْضِهِ».

37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.

37 وَهَكَذَا مَاتَ الْمَلِكُ فَنَقَلُوهُ إِلَى السَّامِرَةِ حَيْثُ دُفِنَ فِيهَا.

38 And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.

38 وَعِنْدَمَا غُسِلَتْ مَرْكَبَتُهُ وَأَسْلِحَتُهُ فِي بِرْكَةِ السَّامِرَةِ، جَاءَتِ الْكِلابُ وَلَحَسَتْ دَمَهُ. فَتَحَقَّقَ بِذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ.

39 As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

39 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ آخْابَ وَإِنْجَازَاتُهُ وَبَيْتُ الْعَاجِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ، وَكُلُّ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي عَمَّرَهَا، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي تَارِيخِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

40 And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.

40 وَدُفِنَ آخْابُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ أَخَزْيَا عَلَى الْمُلْكِ.

41 In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.

41 وَمَلَكَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ بْنُ آسَا عَلَى يَهُوذَا فِي السَّنَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ مِنْ حُكْمِ آخْابَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

42 وَكَانَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالثَّلاثِينَ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ خَمْساً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ عَزُوبَةُ بِنْتُ شَلْحِي

43 And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

43 وَاقْتَفَى خُطَى أَبِيهِ آسَا، وَلَمْ يَحِدْ عَنْهَا صَانِعاً مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. إِلّا أَنَّ مَذَابِحَ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ لَمْ تُهْدَمْ، بَلْ كَانَ الشَّعْبُ لَا يَزَالُ يَذْبَحُ وَيُوقِدُ عَلَيْهَا.

44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.

44 وَوَقَّعَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ مُعَاهَدَةَ صُلْحٍ مَعَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

45 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

45 أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ وَمَا أَبْدَاهُ مِنْ بَأْسٍ، وَكَيْفَ حَارَبَ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ أَخْبَارِ أَيَّامِ مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

46 He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.

46 كَمَا أَبَادَ مِنَ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ يُمَارِسُونَ الشُّذُوذَ الْجِنْسِيَّ فِي عِبَادَتِهِمِ الْوَثَنِيَّةِ مِمَّنْ بَقُوا مِنْ أَيَّامِ أَبِيهِ آسَا.

47 And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.

47 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي زَمَانِهِ مَلِكٌ عَلَى أَدُومَ، بَلْ تَوَلَّى الْحُكْمَ وَكِيلٌ لِلْمَلِكِ.

48 Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.

48 وَبَنَى يَهُوشَافَاطُ أُسْطُولاً تِجَارِيًّا لِكَيْ يَبْحُرَ إِلَى أُوفِيرَ وَيَعُودَ مُحَمَّلاً بِالذَّهَبِ، وَلَكِنَّ السُّفُنَ لَمْ تَبْحُرْ لأَنَّهَا تَحَطَّمَتْ فِي عِصْيُونَ جَابَرَ.

49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.

49 حِينَئِذٍ قَالَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ آخْابَ لِيَهُوشَافَاطَ: «لِيَبْحُرْ رِجَالِي مَعَ رِجَالِكَ فِي السُّفُنِ». فَأَبَى يَهُوشَافَاطُ.

50 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.

50 وَمَاتَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ فَدُفِنَ مَعَ أَسْلافِهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ يَهُورَامُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ.

51 In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.

51 وَمَلَكَ أَخَزْيَا بْنُ آخْابَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي السَّامِرَةِ، فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ عَشْرَةَ لِحُكْمِ يَهُوشَافَاطَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَدَامَ مُلْكُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ،

52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

52 ارْتَكَبَ فِيهِمَا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ، وَسَلَكَ فِي سُبُلِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ الَّذِي اسْتَغْوَى إِسْرَائِيلَ لاِقْتِرَافِ الإِثْمِ،

53 Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.

53 وَعَبَدَ أَخَزْيَا الْبَعْلَ وَسَجَدَ لَهُ، فَأَثَارَ بِذَلِكَ غَيْظَ الرَّبِّ، تَمَاماً كَمَا فَعَلَ أَبُوهُ.
