Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.” 3But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!” 4So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food. 5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?” 6He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’ 7Then Jezebel his wife said to him, “You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” 8And she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling in the city with Naboth. 9She wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth with high honor among the people; 10and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, “You have blasphemed God and the king.” Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die. 11So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them. 12They proclaimed a fast, and seated Naboth with high honor among the people. 13And two men, scoundrels, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!” Then they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died. 14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.” 15And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.” 16So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. The Lord Condemns Ahab 17Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. There he is, in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it. 19You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Have you murdered and also taken possession?” ’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.” ’ ” 20So Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord: 21‘Behold, I will bring calamity on you. I will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both bond and free. 22I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.’ 23And concerning Jezebel the Lord also spoke, saying, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’ 24The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field.” 25But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up. 26And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 27So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning. 28And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29“See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.” 1st Kings 22: Micaiah Warns Ahab - Parent Category: 1st Kings: Solomon's Reign Followed by a Divided Kingdom - Category: 1st Kings 20-22: Ahab's Final Days as King of Israel 1 Kings 22 Micaiah Warns Ahab 22Now three years passed without war between Syria and Israel. 2Then it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel. 3And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, but we hesitate to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?” 4So he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” 5Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire for the word of the Lord today.” 6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?” So they said, “Go up, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.” 7And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of Him?” 8So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!” 9Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!” 10The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 11Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ” 12And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand.” 13Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.” 14And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.” 15Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?” And he answered him, “Go and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king!” 16So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?” 17Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ 18And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?” 19Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left. 20And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 21Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ 22The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’ 23Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.” 24Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit from the Lord go from me to speak to you?” 25And Micaiah said, “Indeed, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!” 26So the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son; 27and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.” ’ ” 28But Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Take heed, all you people!” Ahab Dies in Battle 29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 30And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. 31Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel.” 32So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “Surely it is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out. 33And it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 34Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” 35The battle increased that day; and the king was propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out from the wound onto the floor of the chariot. 36Then, as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the army, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!” 37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria. 38Then someone washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood while the harlots bathed, according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken. 39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, the ivory house which he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 40So Ahab rested with his fathers. Then Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah 41Jehoshaphat the son of Asa had become king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43And he walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord. Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places. 44Also Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. 45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 46And the rest of the perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land. 47There was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king. 48Jehoshaphat made merchant ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion Geber. 49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not. 50And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place. Ahaziah Reigns in Israel 51Ahaziah the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. 52He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin; 53for he served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.

1 राजा अध्याय 22 दुइ वर्षको अवधिमा इस्राएल र अराम बीच शान्ति थियो। 2 तब, तेस्रो वर्षमा यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात इस्राएलका राजालाई भेट्न गए। 3 यसै समयमा इस्राएला राजाले उसका अधिकारीलाई सोधे, “अरामको राजाले हामीबाट रामोत गिलादमा लगेका थिए सम्झना छ? हामीले रामोतलाई फिर्ता लिनका लागि केही किन गरेनौ? यो हाम्रो शहर हुनुपर्छ।” 4 यसकारण राजाले राजा यहोशापातलाई सोधे, “तपाईं हामीसित सहभागी हुनुन्छ अनि आरामका सैनिकहरूको विरूद्ध रामोता युद्ध गर्ने छौं?”यहोशापतले उत्तर दिए, “हो, म तिमीसँग मिल्नेछु। मेरा सैनिकहरू अनि मेरा घोडाहरू तिम्रो सेनामा सामेल हुनेछन्। 5 तर पहिला हामी परमप्रभुसित सल्लाह गरौं।” 6 यसकारण इस्राएलका राजाले अगमवक्ताहरूको एउटा सभा बोलाए। त्यस बेला प्रातः 400 अगमवक्ताहरू थिए। राजाले अगमवक्तालाई सोधे, “के म लडनु रामोत जानु पर्छ? अथवा के मैंले अर्को मौकाका लागि पर्खिनु पर्छ?”अगमवक्ताहरूले उत्तर दिए, “तिमीले जानु पर्छ अनि अहिले लडाँईं गर्नु पर्छ। परमप्रभुले राजालाई जिताउनु हुनेछ।” 7 तर यहोशापातले भने, “के यहाँ अरू परमेश्वरका अगमवक्ताहरू छन्? यदि छन् भने हामीले सोध्नु पर्छ परमेश्वर के भन्नुहुन्छ।” 8 इस्राएलका राजाले उत्तर दिए, “एक जना अरू अगमवक्ता छन्। उनको नाउँ मीकाया हो, इम्लाहाका छोरा हुन्। तर म उनलाई घृणा गर्दछु। जब उसले अगमवाणी बोल्दछन् उनी मेरो विषयमा राम्रो कुरा भन्दैनन्, तर खालि दुभार्ग्यको विषयमा भन्दछन्।”यहोशापातले भने, “एकजना राजाले त्यस्ता कुराहरू भन्नु हुँदैन!” 9 यसकारण राजाले उसका अधिकारीहरू मध्ये एक जनालाईं इम्लाहका छोरो मीकायाहलाई तत्कालै खोज्नु भनी अह्राए। 10 त्यस समयमा इस्राएलका राजा र यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात राजकीय पोषाकमा त्यहाँ थिए। तिनीहरू सिंहासनहरूमा बसिरहेका थिए। यो सामरियाको प्रवेशद्वारको छेऊ न्याय-आसनमा थियो। सबै अगमवक्ताहरू तिनीहरूको सामु उभिएका थिए अनि अगमवाणी गरिरहेका थिए। 11 अगमवक्ताहरू मध्ये एकजना सिदूकिया नाउँ भएका मानिस थिए। तिनी केनानीका छोरा थिए। सिदूकियाले केही फलामका सींगहरू बनाए। तब उनले आहाबलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नु भएकोछ, ‘तिनी यी फलामका सींगहरू अरामका सेनाको विरोधमा लडाईं गर्नमा प्रयोगगर्ने छौ। तिमीले तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गर्ने छौ अनि नष्ट पार्ने छौ।”‘ 12 सबै अरू अगमवक्ताहरू सिदूकियाले भनेको कुरासित सहमत भए। अगमवक्ताहरूले भने, “गिलादको रामोतमा जाऊ र लडाँईमा विजयी हौऊ। अहिले प्रस्थान गर्नु पर्छ। तिनीहरूले रामोतमा अरामका सेनाको विरोधमा लडाईं गर्नुपर्छ। तिमीले लडाईं जित्ने छौ। परमप्रभुले राजालाई विजयी गराउनुहुनेछ।” 13 यस्तो भइरहेको बेला अधिकारीहरू मीकायालाई खोज्न गए। अधिकारीहरूले मीकायालाई भेटे अनि भने, “अरू सबै अगमवक्ताहरूले भविष्यवाणी गरेका छन्, राजाको जीत हुनेछ। तिमीले पनि राजाको निम्ति असल कुराहरूका भविष्यवाणी गर्नु पर्छ।” 14 तर मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म परमप्रभुको जीवनको शपथ खाएर भन्दछु म त्यो कुराहरू मात्र भन्छु परमप्रभुले मलाई आज्ञा गर्नु हुन्छ।” 15 तब मीकाया राजा आहाब सामु उभिए। राजाले सोधे, “मीकाया, के हामी रामोत गिलादमा गएर युद्ध गर्नु अथवा नगर्नु?” मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “हो, तपाईं झट्टै जानु पर्छ अनि अहिले तिनीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्नु पर्छ। परमप्रभुले राजालाई विजय गराउँनु हुनेछ।” 16 तर आहाबले उत्तर दिए, “तिमी परमप्रभुको शक्तिले वोलि रहेका छैनौ। तिमी आफ्नै शब्दहरू भनिरहेका छौ। यसकारण मलाई साँचो भन! कति पटक मैले तिमीलाई भन्नु पर्छ र भन, मलाई भन परमप्रभु के भननुहुन्छ!” 17 यसकारण मीकायाले उत्तर दिए, “म देख्न सक्छु के हुनेछ। इस्राएलका सेनाहरू पर्वत माथि छरिनेछन्। तिनीहरू हेरचाह गर्ने नभएको भेडाहरू जस्तैं हुनेछन्। यही कुरा परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘यी मानिसहरूको कोही अगुवा छैन। तिनीले घर जानु पर्छ अनि लडाईं गर्नु हुदैन।”‘ 18 तब इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “सुन्नुहोस्, मैले तपाईंलाई भने कि यी अगमवक्ताले कहिले पनि मेरो विषयमा राम्रो कुराहरू भन्दैनन्। उसले मेरो निम्ति विपदको विषयमा मात्र अगमवाणी गर्छ।” 19 तब मीकाले भने, “सुन्नुहोस्, यी सबै परमप्रभुका वचनहरू हुन्। मैले परमप्रभुलाई स्वर्गमा सिंहासनमा बसिरहनु भएको देखें। उहाँका स्वर्गदूतहरू उहाँको वरिपरि उभिरहेका थिए। 20 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले राजा आहाबलाई फसाउने? म चाहन्छु ऊ गिलादको रामोतमा जाओस् अनि त्यहाँ मारियोस्।’ विभिन्न स्वर्गदूतहरूले अलग अलग सुझाऊहरू पेश गरे। 21 तब परमप्रभुका आत्मा आए र भने, ‘म उनलाई फसाउने छु।’ परमप्रभुले उत्तर दिनुभयो, ‘तिमीले राजा आहाबलाई कसरी फसाउँछौ?’ 22 र्स्वगदूतले उत्तर दिए, ‘म आहाबका सबै अगमवक्ताहरूलाई अलमलाउनेछु। म अगमवक्ताहरूलाई राजा आहाब समक्ष झूठो बोल्न लाउँनेछु। सबै अगमवक्ताहरूको वचनहरू झूठो हुनेछ।’ यसकारण परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘सही हो, जाऊ राजा आहाबलाई फसाऊ। तिमी सफल हुनेछौ।”‘ 23 मीकायाले आफ्नो कथा पूरा गरे। तब उनले भने, “यसकारण यहाँ त्यस्तैं कुराहरू भए। परमप्रभुले तिम्रो सबै अगमवक्ताहरूलाई तिम्रो सामु झूठो बोल्न लगाउनुभयो। परमप्रभुले आफैं नै निर्णय लिनुभएकोछ। तिम्रो अघि ठूलो संकट आउँने छ।” 24 तब केनानियाहका छोरा सिदिकया मीकाया कहाँ गए। उसले मीकायाको अनुहारमा हिर्काए अनि भने, “साँच्चै विश्वास गर्छौ परमप्रभुका शक्ति म देखि गयो अनि मबाट तिमीसंग बोल्नलाई जानुभयो?” 25 मीकाया उत्तर दिए, “त्यहाँ एक समय आउनेछ जतिबेला तिमी एउटा सानो कोठा भित्र जानेछौ अनि तिमी आफैं लुक्ने छौ। त्यस समयमा तिमीले थाह पाउनेछौ, कि म साँच्चो बोलिरहेको छु।” 26 तब इस्राएलका राजाले मीकायालाई पक्रिनु भनी उसका अधिकारीहरू मध्ये एक जनालाई आदेश दिए। राजाले भने, “उनलाई पक्रा उ गर अनि शहरका राजपाल अमोन अनि राजकुमार योआश समक्ष लिएर जाऊ। 27 तिनीहरूलाई भन मीकायालाई जेलमा थुन्नु। उनलाई रोटी र पानी मात्र खान देऊ। म लडाईंबाट नफर्किञ्जेल सम्म उनलाई त्यहीं राख।” 28 तब मीकायाले ठूलो स्वरमा भने, “यदि तपाईं लडाईंबाट सुरक्षित फर्केर आउनु भयो भने यो प्रमाण हुन्छ कि परमप्रभुले म द्वारा बोल्नु भएको होइन्। उसले यो पनि भने, “मानिसहरू तिमीहरू सबैले सुन!” 29 तब इस्राएलका र यहोशापात यहूदाका राजा रामोत गिलादमा गए। 30 इस्राएलका राजाले यहोशापातलाई भने, “हामी लडाईंका निम्ति तयारी गर्ने छौं। म यस्तो लुगा लगाउने छु जसले गर्दा म राजा जस्तो देखिन्न। तर तपाईंले विशेष लुगा लगाऊ जसले गर्दा तपाईं राजा जस्तो देखिनुहुन्छ।” यसकारण इस्राएलका राजाले राजा जस्तो नदेखिने लुगा लगाएर लडाईं शुरू गरे। 31 त्यहाँ अरामको राजासित 32 जना रथ सेनापतिहरू थिए। राजाले इस्राएलको राजा बाहेक, तिनीहरूको उच्चपदको वास्ता नगर्ने कसैसित पनि युद्ध नलड्ने आज्ञा दिनु भएको थियो। 32 यसकारण युद्धको समयमा यी सेनापतिहरूले राजा यहोशापातलाई देखे। सेनापतिहरूले सोचे, उनी नै इस्राएलका राजा हुन्। यसकारण तिनीहरू उनलाई मार्न हिंडे। यहोशापात चिच्याउन थाले। 33 सेनापतिहरूले देखे कि ऊ त्यो इस्राएलको राजा होइनन्। यसकारण तिनीहरूले उनलाई मारेनन्। 34 तर एक जना सैनिकले हावामा वाण हान्यो-उसको वाणले इस्राएलका राजामाथि प्रहारभयो। वाणले राजालाई सानो ठाउँमा लाग्यो जहाँ उसको कवचले छोपेको थिएन। यसकारण इस्राएलका राजाले उसको रथ सारथीलाई भने, “एउटा वाणले मलाई चोट पार्यो। रथलाई यस क्षेत्रबाट बाहिर हाँक। हामीले लडाईं मैदानबाट टाढा जानु पर्छ।” 35 डरलाग्दो लडाँईं भइरहेको थियो। इस्राएलका राजा आफ्नो रथमा नै रहे। उनी रथको एकतिर ढल्कि रहेका थिए। उसले अरामका सेनाहरूलाई हेरिरहेका थिए। उनको रगत तलतिर बगिरहेको थियो अनि रथको तल्लो भागलाई ढाकिरहेको थिए। त्यही दिन बेलुकी तिर राजाको मृत्यु भयो। 36 र्स्यास्त भए पछि एउटा आवाजले भन्यो इस्राएलीहरूका प्रत्येक सैनिकलाई आ-आफ्नो शहर र भूमिमा जाने आदेश भयो। 37 यसकारण यस प्रकार राजा आहाबको मृत्यु भयो। केही मानिसहरूले उनको लाशलाई बोकेर सामरिया ल्याए। तिनीहरूले उनलाई त्यही गडे। 38 मानिसहरूले आहाबको रथलाई सामरियाको पोखरीमा धोए। कुकुरहरूले रथबाट राजा आहाबको रगत चाटे। अनि वेश्याहरूले पानीको प्रयोग नुहाउनमा गरे। यी घटनाहरू त्यसरी नै भए जसरी परमप्रभुले हुन्छ भन्नु भएको थियो। 39 सबै कामहरू जो राजा आहाबले आफ्नो शासन कालमा गरेका थिए ‘इस्राएलका राजाहरूको इतिहासको, पुसतकमा लेखिएको छ। अनि त्यस किताबले हात्तीको दाँतको विषयमा बताउँदछ जसद्वारा राजाले महललाई अझै सुन्दर बनाएका थिए। पुस्तकले त्यस शहरको वर्णन गर्छ जसलाई राजाले बनाएका थिए। 40 आहाबको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनलाई पुर्खाहरू सँगै गाडियो। उनका छोरा अहज्याह उनी पछि राजा भए।यहूदाका राजा यहोशापात 41 आहाब इस्राएलका राजा भएको समयमा चौथो वर्षमा यहोशापात यहूदाका राजा भए। यहोशापात आसाका छोरा थिए। 42 जब यहोशापात 35 वर्षका थिए ऊ राजा भएका थिए। उसले येरूशलेममा 25 वर्ष शासन गरे। यहोशापातकी आमाको नाउँ अजूबा थियो। अजूबा शिल्हीकी छोरी थिइन्। 43 यहोशापातले आफ्ना पिता आसाको उदाहरण अनुशहरण गरे। उनले सबै आदेशहरू पालन गरे जो परमप्रभुले चाहानु भएको थियो। 44 तर यहोशापातले अग्ला स्थलहरूलाई नष्ट गरेनन्। मानिसहरूले लगातार ती ठाँउहरूमा बलि दिने अनि धूप बाल्ने काम गरिरहेका थिए। 45 यहोशापातले इस्राएलका राजासँग शान्ति सम्झौता गरे। यहोशापात साह्रै वीर थिए अनि धेरै युद्धहरू गरे। यी सबै कुराहरू जो उनले गरे “यहूदाका राजाको इतिहासको” पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छन्। 46 यहोशापातले सबै मानिस र स्त्रीहरूलाई पूजाको स्थान छोड्न वाध्य गराए जसले यौन सम्बन्धका लागि आफ्नो शरीर बेच्ने गर्दथे। ती मानिसहरू ती पूजा-स्थलमा त्यस समय देखि सेवा गर्दै आएका थिए जति बेला उनका पिता आसा राजा थिए। 47 यस समयमा एदोमको भूमिमा कोही राजा थिएनन्। भूमि राजपाल द्वारा शासन गरिएको थियो। 48 राजा यहोशापातले केही समुद्री जहाज बनाएका थिए। उनी ती जहाजहरू ओपीर सम्म त्यहाँबाट सुन ल्याउनका लागि चलाउन चाहन्थे। तर कहिल्यै त्यहाँ गएनन् एस्योन गेबेरमा आफ्नै बन्दरगाहमा तिनीहरूलाई नष्ट गरियो। 49 अहाबका छोरो अहज्याहले यहोशापातलाई सहायता गर्न चाहान्थ्यो। अहज्याहले उसका केही नाविकहरू यहोशापातका नाविकहरूलाई सहायता गर्न पठाए तर यहोशापातले अहज्याहका नाविकहरूलाई ग्रहण गर्न अस्वीकार गरे। 50 यहोशापातको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनलाई आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूको छेऊमा गाडियो। उनलाई आफ्ना पुर्खाहरू सँग दाऊदको शहरमा गाडियो। तब उनका छोरा योराम राजा भए। 51 अहज्याह आहाबका छोरा थिए। तिनी राजा यहोशापातले यहूदामा शासन गरेको सत्रौं वर्षमा इस्राएलका राजा भए। अहज्याहले सामरियामा दुइ वर्ष शासन गरे। 52 अहज्याहले परमप्रभुको विरोधमा पाप गरे। उनले त्यस्तैं कामहरू गरे जस्तो उनका पिता आहाब, आमा इजेबेल अनि नबातका छोरा यारोबामले गरेका थिए। यी सबै शासकहरूले इस्राएली मानिसहरूलाई पापतिर बढी लगे। 53 अहज्याहले उनका पिता जस्तैं बालको पूजा अनि सेवा गरे। यसकारण अहज्याहले परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई रिस उठ्ने बनाए। परमप्रभु ऊ माथि रिसाउनु भयो, जसरी उहाँ उसका पितासित ऊ भन्दा पहिला रिसाउनु भएको थियो।
