190 THE BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE. [BOOK who had created him, and who had given him this kingdom. And he died in his denial of Him, and in his sins. After him reigned Rehoboam, his son, seventeen years, and did evil. He defiled Jerusalem with abominable sacrifices, and sacrificed to Satan ; and adultery increased greatly in his days. Wherefore God cut off his kingdom swiftly ; and took it from the house of David. But in the fifth year of Rehoboam, a king whose name was Susakim came up against Jerusalem. He took all the spoil of the temple, and spoiled all Roboam had, and spoiled all the house of David, and removed them and took them to his own country. And he boasted, and said to the Jews, " The things I have taken from you as spoil, are goods that belonged to my fathers, of which your fathers spoiled them, when they came out of the land of Egypt, and which they brought unto this place ; and behold, I have taken them from you." And Rehoboam died in his denial [of God] ; and after him, his son Abius, reigned twenty years over the children of Israel. But he, too, walked in his father's ways, by reason of Makia his mother, the daughter of Absalom ; wherefore, did he many wicked things, and then died. After him arose Asaph his son, who reigned forty-one years over the children of Israel. He did what was right, just and good before God ; he brake down the idols that were in his day, and removed their images from the face of the land ; and he took his wicked mother Anna, and threw her down from the roof [of her house] and she died, because of her adulteries. After that, came Eleazar a black king, who was king of Endena, to fight Asaph. But God delivered him into the hands of Asaph, who defeated him. Then Asaph died ; and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his stead. He also did that which is just and good before God, and pleased God all his days, and then died.
