2 Chronicles 1: 1-17

---

1  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² was strengthened²³⁸⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and magnified¹⁴³¹ him exceedingly.⁴⁶⁰⁵

2  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and to the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ and to every³⁶⁰⁵ governor⁵³⁸⁷ in all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers.¹

3  So Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon;¹³⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ was¹⁹⁶¹ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ of God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

4  But⁶¹ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ had David¹⁷³² brought up⁵⁹²⁷ from Kirjath-jearim^{4480 7157} to the place which David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for it: for³⁵⁸⁸ he had pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ a tent¹⁶⁸ for it at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  Moreover the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ Bezaleel¹²¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Uri,²²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hur,²³⁵⁴ had made,⁶²¹³ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ and the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ unto it.

6  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither⁸⁰³³ to⁵⁹²¹ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ was at the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ it.

7  In that¹⁹³¹ night³⁹¹⁵ did God⁴³⁰ appear⁷²⁰⁰ unto Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Ask⁷⁵⁹² what⁴¹⁰⁰ I shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee.

8  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Thou⁸⁵⁹ hast showed⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and hast made me to reign⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

9  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ let thy promise¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father¹ be established:⁵³⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made me king⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ like the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in multitude.⁷²²⁷

10  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me now⁶²⁵⁸ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge,⁴⁰⁹³ that I may go out³³¹⁸ and come in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ can judge⁸¹⁹⁹ this^{2088 853} thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that is so great?¹⁴¹⁹

11  And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because^{3282 834} this²⁰⁶³ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart,³⁸²⁴ and thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ asked⁷⁵⁹² riches,⁶²³⁹ wealth,⁵²³³ or honor,³⁵¹⁹ nor the life⁵³¹⁵ of thine enemies,⁸¹³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ yet¹⁵⁷¹ hast asked⁷⁵⁹² long life;^{7227 3117} but hast asked⁷⁵⁹² wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ for thyself, that⁸³⁴ thou mayest judge^{8199 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ over⁵⁹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ I have made thee king:⁴⁴²⁷

12  Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ is granted⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thee; and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee riches,⁶²³⁹ and wealth,⁵²³³ and honor,³⁵¹⁹ such as^{834 3651} none³⁸⁰⁸ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ have had¹⁹⁶¹ that⁸³⁴ have been before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall there any after³¹⁰ thee have¹⁹⁶¹ the like.³⁶⁵¹

13  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ from his journey to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon¹³⁹¹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ from before^{4480 6440} the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gathered⁶²² chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ which he placed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

15  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as plenteous as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the vale⁸²¹⁹ for abundance.⁷²³⁰

16  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had horses⁵⁴⁸³ brought out⁴¹⁶¹ of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and linen yarn:⁴⁷²³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ merchants⁵⁵⁰³ received³⁹⁴⁷ the linen yarn⁴⁷²³ at a price.⁴²⁴²

17  And they fetched up,⁵⁹²⁷ and brought forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt^{4480 4714} a chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ for six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a horse⁵⁴⁸³ for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty:²⁵⁷² and so³⁶⁵¹ brought they out³³¹⁸ horses for all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and for the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ by their means.³⁰²⁷

2 Chronicles 2: 1-18

---

1  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ determined⁵⁵⁹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸

2  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told out⁵⁶⁰⁸ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ to bear burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand^{505 376} to hew²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ to oversee^{5329 5921} them.

3  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁶⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ As⁸³⁴ thou didst deal⁶²¹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and didst send⁷⁹⁷¹ him cedars⁷³⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ him a house¹⁰⁰⁴ to dwell³⁴²⁷ therein, even so deal with me.

4  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ to the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to dedicate⁶⁹⁴² it to him, and to burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and for the continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ shewbread,⁴⁶³⁵ and for the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ morning¹²⁴² and evening,⁶¹⁵³ on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts⁴¹⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God.⁴³⁰ This²⁰⁶³ is an ordinance forever⁵⁷⁶⁹ to⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  And the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ build¹¹²⁹ is great:¹⁴¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ great¹⁴¹⁹ is our God⁴³⁰ above all^{4480 3605} gods.⁴³⁰

6  But who⁴³¹⁰ is able^{6113 3581} to build¹¹²⁹ him a house,¹⁰⁰⁴ seeing³⁵⁸⁸ the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ him? who⁴³¹⁰ am I⁵⁸⁹ then, that⁸³⁴ I should build¹¹²⁹ him a house,¹⁰⁰⁴ save only^{3588 518} to burn sacrifice⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him?

7  Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore a man³⁷⁶ cunning²⁴⁵⁰ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ and in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and in iron,¹²⁷⁰ and in purple,⁷¹⁰ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and that can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to grave^{6605 6603} with⁵⁹⁷³ the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ that⁸³⁴ are with⁵⁹⁷³ me in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ whom⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² my father¹ did provide.³⁵⁵⁹

8  Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me also cedar⁷³⁰ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ fir trees,¹²⁶⁵ and algum trees,⁴¹⁸ out of Lebanon:^{4480 3844} for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ know³⁰⁴⁵ that⁸³⁴ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to cut³⁷⁷² timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in Lebanon;³⁸⁴⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall be with⁵⁹⁷³ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰

9  Even to prepare³⁵⁵⁹ me timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in abundance:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am about to build¹¹²⁹ shall be wonderful⁶³⁸¹ great.¹⁴¹⁹

10  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ to thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ the hewers²⁴⁰⁴ that cut³⁷⁷² timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of beaten⁴³⁴⁷ wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of oil.⁸⁰⁸¹

11  Then Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre⁶⁸⁶⁵ answered⁵⁵⁹ in writing,³⁷⁹¹ which he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath loved^{160 853} his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he hath made⁵⁴¹⁴ thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ them.

12  Huram²³⁶¹ said⁵⁵⁹ moreover, Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ made^{6213 853} heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and earth,⁷⁷⁶ who⁸³⁴ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ to David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ a wise²⁴⁵⁰ son,¹¹²¹ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with prudence⁷⁹²² and understanding,⁹⁹⁸ that⁸³⁴ might build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸

13  And now⁶²⁵⁸ I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a cunning²⁴⁵⁰ man,³⁷⁶ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with understanding,⁹⁹⁸ of Huram²³⁶¹ my father's,¹

14  The son¹¹²¹ of a woman⁸⁰² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the daughters¹³²³ of Dan,¹⁸³⁵ and his father¹ was a man³⁷⁶ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁷⁶ skillful³⁰⁴⁵ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ in iron,¹²⁷⁰ in stone,⁶⁸ and in timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ in purple,⁷¹³ in blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and in fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and in crimson;³⁷⁵⁸ also to grave⁶⁶⁰⁵ any manner³⁶⁰⁵ of graving,⁶⁶⁰³ and to find out²⁸⁰³ every³⁶⁰⁵ device⁴²⁸⁴ which⁸³⁴ shall be put⁵⁴¹⁴ to him, with⁵⁹⁷³ thy cunning men,²⁴⁵⁰ and with the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ of my lord¹¹³ David¹⁷³² thy father.¹

15  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore the wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and the barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ the oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and the wine,³¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ my lord¹¹³ hath spoken⁵⁵⁹ of, let him send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto his servants:⁵⁶⁵⁰

16  And we⁵⁸⁷ will cut³⁷⁷² wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ as much as thou³⁶⁰⁵ shalt need:⁶⁸⁷⁸ and we will bring⁹³⁵ it to thee in floats⁷⁵¹³ by⁵⁹²¹ sea³²²⁰ to Joppa;³³⁰⁵ and thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt carry it up^{5927 853} to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

17  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the strangers^{376 1616} that⁸³⁴ were in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ after³¹⁰ the numbering⁵⁶¹⁰ wherewith⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² his father¹ had numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ them; and they were found⁴⁶⁷² a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

18  And he set⁶²¹³ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them to be bearers of burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ to be hewers²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ overseers⁵³²⁹ to set^{5647 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ a work.

2 Chronicles 3: 1-17

1  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ began²⁴⁹⁰ to build^{1129 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in mount²⁰²² Moriah,⁴¹⁷⁹ where⁸³⁴ the LORD appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto David¹⁷³² his father,¹ in the place⁴⁷²⁵ that⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ in the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ of Ornan⁷⁷¹ the Jebusite.²⁹⁸³

2  And he began²⁴⁹⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ in the fourth⁷⁰² year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴³⁸

3  Now these⁴²⁸ are the things wherein Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was instructed³²⁴⁵ for the building^{1129 853} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ The length⁷⁵³ by cubits⁵²⁰ after the first⁷²²³ measure⁴⁰⁶⁰ was threescore⁸³⁴⁶ cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits.⁵²⁰

4  And the porch¹⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ was in⁵⁹²¹ the front⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the house, the length⁷⁵³ of it was according to^{5921 6440} the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the height¹³⁶³ was a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty:⁶²⁴² and he overlaid⁶⁸²³ it within^{4480 6441} with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹

5  And the greater¹⁴¹⁹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ he ceiled²⁶⁴⁵ with fir¹²⁶⁵ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ which he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and set⁵⁹²⁷ thereon⁵⁹²¹ palm trees⁸⁵⁶¹ and chains.⁸³³³

6  And he garnished^{6823 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ with precious³³⁶⁸ stones⁶⁸ for beauty:⁸⁵⁹⁷ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ was gold²⁰⁹¹ of Parvaim.⁶⁵¹⁶

7  He overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ also ⁸⁵³ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the beams,⁶⁹⁸² the posts,⁵⁵⁹² and the walls⁷⁰²³ thereof, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof, with gold;²⁰⁹¹ and graved⁶⁶⁰⁵ cherubims³⁷⁴² on⁵⁹²¹ the walls.⁷⁰²³

8  And he made^{6213 853} the most holy^{6944 6944} house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the length⁷⁵³ whereof was according to^{5921 6440} the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ it with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ amounting to six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents.³⁶⁰³

9  And the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the nails⁴⁵⁴⁸ was fifty²⁵⁷² shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of gold.²⁰⁹¹ And he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ the upper chambers⁵⁹⁴⁴ with gold.²⁰⁹¹

10  And in the most holy^{6944 6944} house¹⁰⁰⁴ he made⁶²¹³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² of image⁶⁸¹⁶ work,⁴⁶³⁹ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ them with gold.²⁰⁹¹

11  And the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims³⁷⁴² were twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ long:⁷⁵³ one²⁵⁹ wing³⁶⁷¹ of the one cherub was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was likewise five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²

12  And one wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other²⁵⁹ cherub³⁷⁴² was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ also, joining¹⁶⁹⁵ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²

13  The wings³⁶⁷¹ of these⁴²⁸ cherubims³⁷⁴² spread themselves forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and they¹⁹⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ their feet,⁷²⁷² and their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴

14  And he made^{6213 853} the veil⁶⁵³² of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and purple,⁷¹³ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and wrought⁵⁹²⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² thereon.⁵⁹²¹

15  Also he made⁶²¹³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars⁵⁹⁸² of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁷⁵³ and the chapiter⁶⁸⁵⁸ that⁸³⁴ was on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of each of them was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits.⁵²⁰

16  And he made⁶²¹³ chains,⁸³³³ as in the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on⁵⁹²¹ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸² and made⁶²¹³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates,⁷⁴¹⁶ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on the chains.⁸³³³

17  And he reared up^{6965 853} the pillars⁵⁹⁸² before^{5921 6440} the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ one²⁵⁹ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and the other²⁵⁹ on the left;^{4480 8040} and called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the right hand³²²⁷ Jachin,³¹⁹⁹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the left⁸⁰⁴² Boaz.¹¹⁶²

2 Chronicles 4: 1-22

1  Moreover he made⁶²¹³ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the length⁷⁵³ thereof, and twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof, and ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof.

2  Also he made^{6213 853} a molten³³³² sea³²²⁰ of ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ from brim^{4480 8193} to⁴¹³ brim,⁸¹⁹³ round⁵⁶⁹⁶ in compass,⁵⁴³⁹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof; and a line⁶⁹⁵⁷ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ cubits⁵²⁰ did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about.⁵⁴³⁹

3  And under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it was the similitude¹⁸²³ of oxen,¹²⁴¹ which did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about:^{5439 5439} ten⁶²³⁵ in a cubit,⁵²⁰ compassing^{5362 853} the sea³²²⁰ round about.⁵⁴³⁹ Two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of oxen¹²⁴¹ were cast,³³³² when it was cast.⁴¹⁶⁶

4  It stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ twelve^{8147 6240} oxen,¹²⁴¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the west,³²²⁰ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the east:⁴²¹⁷ and the sea³²²⁰ was set above^{4480 4605} upon⁵⁹²¹ them, and all³⁶⁰⁵ their hinder parts²⁶⁸ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴

5  And the thickness⁵⁶⁷² of it was a handbreadth,²⁹⁴⁷ and the brim⁸¹⁹³ of it like the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the brim⁸¹⁹³ of a cup,³⁵⁶³ with flowers⁶⁵²⁵ of lilies;⁷⁷⁹⁹ and it received²³⁸⁸ and held³⁵⁵⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths.¹³²⁴

6  He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ lavers,³⁵⁹⁵ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left,^{4480 8040} to wash⁷³⁶⁴ in them: ⁸⁵³ such things as they offered⁴⁶³⁹ for the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ they washed¹⁷⁴⁰ in them; but the sea³²²⁰ was for the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ in.

7  And he made^{6213 853} ten⁶²³⁵ candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ according to their form,⁴⁹⁴¹ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.^{4480 8040}

8  He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ tables,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and placed⁵¹¹⁷ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right side,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.^{4480 8040} And he made⁶²¹³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ basins⁴²¹⁹ of gold.²⁰⁹¹

9  Furthermore he made⁶²¹³ the court²⁶⁹¹ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the great¹⁴¹⁹ court,⁵⁸³⁵ and doors¹⁸¹⁷ for the court,⁵⁸³⁵ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of them with brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

10  And he set⁵⁴¹⁴ the sea³²²⁰ on the right³²³³ side^{4480 3802} of the east end,⁶⁹²⁴ over against^{4480 4136} the south.⁵⁰⁴⁵

11  And Huram²³⁶¹ made^{6213 853} the pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the basins.⁴²¹⁹ And Huram²³⁶¹ finished the work^{3615 6213 853 4399} that⁸³⁴ he was to make⁶²¹³ for king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God;⁴³⁰

12  To wit, the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the pommels,¹⁵⁴³ and the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which were on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths⁷⁶³⁹ to cover^{3680 853} the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ were on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸²

13  And four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths;⁷⁶³⁹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on each²⁵⁹ wreath,⁷⁶³⁹ to cover^{3680 853} the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ were upon^{5921 6440} the pillars.⁵⁹⁸²

14  He made⁶²¹³ also bases,⁴³⁵⁰ and lavers³⁵⁹⁵ made⁶²¹³ he upon⁵⁹²¹ the bases;⁴³⁵⁰

15  ⁸⁵³ One²⁵⁹ sea,³²²⁰ and twelve^{8147 6240} oxen¹²⁴¹ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it.

16  The pots⁵⁵¹⁸ also, and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the fleshhooks,⁴²⁰⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ their instruments,³⁶²⁷ did Huram²³⁶¹ his father¹ make⁶²¹³ to king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of bright⁴⁸³⁸ brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

17  In the plain³⁶⁰³ of Jordan³³⁸³ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ cast³³³² them, in the clay⁴⁵⁶⁸ ground¹²⁷ between⁹⁹⁶ Succoth⁵⁵²³ and Zeredathah.⁶⁸⁶⁸

18  Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ vessels³⁶²⁷ in great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ could not³⁸⁰⁸ be found out.²⁷¹³

19  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ were for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ the golden²⁰⁹¹ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ also, and the tables⁷⁹⁷⁹ whereon⁵⁹²¹ the shewbread^{3899 6440} was set;

20  Moreover the candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ with their lamps,⁵²¹⁶ that they should burn¹¹⁹⁷ after the manner⁴⁹⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold;²⁰⁹¹

21  And the flowers,⁶⁵²⁵ and the lamps,⁵²¹⁶ and the tongs,⁴⁴⁵⁷ made he of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and that¹⁹³¹ perfect⁴³⁵⁷ gold;²⁰⁹¹

22  And the snuffers,⁴²¹² and the basins,⁴²¹⁹ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and the censers,⁴²⁸⁹ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ and the entry⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the inner⁶⁴⁴² doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof for the most holy^{6944 6944} place, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ were of gold.²⁰⁹¹

2 Chronicles 5: 1-14

1  Thus all³⁶⁰⁵ the work⁴³⁹⁹ that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was finished:⁷⁹⁹⁹ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought in^{935 853} all the things⁶⁹⁴⁴ that David¹⁷³² his father¹ had dedicated;⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the instruments,³⁶²⁷ put⁵⁴¹⁴ he among the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

2  Then²²⁷ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ assembled^{6950 853} the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the tribes,⁴²⁹⁴ the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of the fathers¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto⁴¹³ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to bring up^{5927 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ out of the city^{4480 5892} of David,¹⁷³² which¹⁹³¹ is Zion.⁶⁷²⁶

3  Wherefore all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ assembled themselves⁶⁹⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the feast²²⁸² which¹⁹³¹ was in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month.²³²⁰

4  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came;⁹³⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ took up^{5375 853} the ark.⁷²⁷

5  And they brought up^{5927 853} the ark,⁷²⁷ and the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ vessels³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ were in the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ these did the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ bring up.⁵⁹²⁷

6  Also king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were assembled³²⁵⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark,⁷²⁷ sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen,¹²⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ be told⁵⁶⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ numbered⁴⁴⁸⁷ for multitude.^{4480 7230}

7  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ brought in^{935 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ his place,⁴⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ the oracle¹⁶⁸⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ into⁴¹³ the most holy^{6944 6944} place, even under^{413 8478} the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims:³⁷⁴²

8  For the cherubims³⁷⁴² spread forth^{1961 6566} their wings³⁶⁷¹ over⁵⁹²¹ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the ark,⁷²⁷ and the cherubims³⁷⁴² covered^{3680 5921} the ark⁷²⁷ and the staves⁹⁰⁵ thereof above.^{4480 4605}

9  And they drew out⁷⁴⁸ the staves⁹⁰⁵ of the ark, that the ends⁷²¹⁸ of the staves⁹⁰⁵ were seen⁷²⁰⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ before^{5921 6440} the oracle;¹⁶⁸⁷ but they were not³⁸⁰⁸ seen⁷²⁰⁰ without.²³⁵¹ And there⁸⁰³³ it is¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

10  There was nothing³⁶⁹ in the ark⁷²⁷ save⁷⁵³⁵ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ tables³⁸⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² put⁵⁴¹⁴ therein at Horeb,²⁷²² when⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ made³⁷⁷² a covenant with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when they came out³³¹⁸ of Egypt.^{4480 4714}

11  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the priests³⁵⁴⁸ were come out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place: (for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² were sanctified,⁶⁹⁴² and did not³⁶⁹ then wait⁸¹⁰⁴ by course:⁴²⁵⁶

12  Also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ which were the singers,⁷⁸⁹¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ of them of Asaph,⁶²³ of Heman,¹⁹⁶⁸ of Jeduthun,³⁰³⁸ with their sons¹¹²¹ and their brethren,²⁵¹ being arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ in white linen,⁹⁴⁸ having cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ and harps,³⁶⁵⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at the east end⁴²¹⁷ of the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounding²⁶⁹⁰ with trumpets:)²⁶⁸⁹

13  It came even to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as the trumpeters²⁶⁹⁰ and singers⁷⁸⁹¹ were as one,²⁵⁹ to make one²⁵⁹ sound⁶⁹⁶³ to be heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in praising¹⁹⁸⁴ and thanking³⁰³⁴ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and when they lifted up⁷³¹¹ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ with the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ and cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and instruments³⁶²⁷ of music,⁷⁸⁹² and praised¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For³⁵⁸⁸ he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ that then the house¹⁰⁰⁴ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ even the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸

14  So that the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to minister⁸³³⁴ by reason of^{4480 6440} the cloud:⁶⁰⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled^{4390 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

2 Chronicles 6: 1-42

---

1  Then²²⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said⁵⁵⁹ that he would dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the thick darkness.⁶²⁰⁵

2  But I⁵⁸⁹ have built¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ of habitation²⁰⁷³ for thee, and a place⁴³⁴⁹ for thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned^{5437 853} his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and blessed^{1288 853} the whole³⁶⁰⁵ congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵

4  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who hath with his hands³⁰²⁷ fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ that which⁸³⁴ he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ with his mouth⁶³¹⁰ to⁸⁵⁴ my father¹ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹

5  Since⁴⁴⁸⁰ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I brought forth^{3318 853} my people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ I chose⁹⁷⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ city⁵⁸⁹² among all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ in, that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ chose⁹⁷⁷ I any man³⁷⁶ to be¹⁹⁶¹ a ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

6  But I have chosen⁹⁷⁷ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ David¹⁷³² to be¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  Now it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ the heart³⁸²⁴ of David¹⁷³² my father¹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

8  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ Forasmuch^{3588 834} as it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ thou didst well²⁸⁹⁵ in that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart:³⁸²⁴

9  Notwithstanding⁷⁵³⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ build¹¹²⁹ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ but³⁵⁸⁸ thy son¹¹²¹ which shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ thy loins,²⁵⁰⁴ he¹⁹³¹ shall build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name.⁸⁰³⁴

10  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ therefore hath performed^{6965 853} his word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ he hath spoken:¹⁶⁹⁶ for I am risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the room⁸⁴⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and am set³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ promised,¹⁶⁹⁶ and have built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

11  And in it⁸⁰³³ have I put^{7760 853} the ark,⁷²⁷ wherein^{834 8033} is the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ he made³⁷⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

12  And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the presence of⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands:³⁷⁰⁹

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ a brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ scaffold,³⁵⁹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ long,⁷⁵³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ broad,⁷³⁴¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁶⁹⁶⁷ and had set⁵⁴¹⁴ it in the midst⁸⁴³² of the court:⁵⁸³⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ it he stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and kneeled down¹²⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ his knees¹²⁹⁰ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴

14  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ God⁴³⁰ like thee³⁶⁴⁴ in the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ nor in the earth;⁷⁷⁶ which keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and showest mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their hearts:³⁸²⁰

15  Thou which⁸³⁴ hast kept⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him; and spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it with thine hand,³⁰²⁷ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ in my sight^{4480 6440} to sit³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ yet so⁷⁵³⁵ that thy children¹¹²¹ take heed^{8104 853} to their way¹⁸⁷⁰ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ as⁸³⁴ thou hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.

17  Now⁶²⁵⁸ then, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ which⁸³⁴ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David.¹⁷³²

18  But³⁵⁸⁸ will God⁴³⁰ in very deed⁵⁵² dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ men¹²⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ the earth?⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ thee; how much less⁶³⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built!¹¹²⁹

19  Have respect⁶⁴³⁷ therefore to⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to⁴¹³ his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ and the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee:

20  That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be¹⁹⁶¹ open⁶⁶⁰⁵ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ day³¹¹⁹ and night,³⁹¹⁵ upon⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ whereof⁸³⁴ thou hast said⁵⁵⁹ that thou wouldest put⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ there;⁸⁰³³ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

21  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore unto⁴¹³ the supplications⁸⁴⁶⁹ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ they shall make⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place:⁴⁷²⁵ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4725} even from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and when thou hearest,⁸⁰⁸⁵ forgive.⁵⁵⁴⁵

22  If⁵¹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and an oath⁴²³ be laid⁵³⁷⁵ upon him to make him swear,⁴²² and the oath⁴²³ come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

23  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and do,⁶²¹³ and judge^{8199 853} thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ by requiting⁷⁷²⁵ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ by recompensing⁵⁴¹⁴ his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon his own head;⁷²¹⁸ and by justifying⁶⁶⁶³ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² by giving⁵⁴¹⁴ him according to his righteousness.⁶⁶⁶⁶

24  And if⁵¹⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; and shall return⁷⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

25  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ to them and to their fathers.¹

26  When the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ is shut up,⁶¹¹³ and there is¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; yet if they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their sin,^{4480 2403} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou dost afflict⁶⁰³¹ them;

27  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taught³³⁸⁴ them the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ they should walk;¹⁹⁸⁰ and send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ for an inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹

28  If³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ blasting,⁷⁷¹¹ or mildew,³⁴²⁰ locusts,⁶⁹⁷ or caterpillars;²⁶²⁵ if³⁵⁸⁸ their enemies³⁴¹ besiege⁶⁸⁸⁷ them in the cities⁸¹⁷⁹ of their land;⁷⁷⁶ whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sore⁵⁰⁶¹ or whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sickness⁴²⁴⁵ there be:

29  Then what³⁶⁰⁵ prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ or what³⁶⁰⁵ supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ soever⁸³⁴ shall be made¹⁹⁶¹ of any³⁶⁰⁵ man,¹²⁰ or of all³⁶⁰⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when⁸³⁴ every one³⁷⁶ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ his own sore⁵⁰⁶¹ and his own grief,⁴³⁴¹ and shall spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

30  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and forgive,⁵⁵⁴⁵ and render⁵⁴¹⁴ unto every man³⁷⁶ according unto all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,^{1870 853} whose heart³⁸²⁴ thou knowest;³⁰⁴⁵ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ only⁹⁰⁵ knowest^{3045 853} the hearts³⁸²⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of men:)¹²⁰

31  That⁴⁶¹⁶ they may fear³³⁷² thee, to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in thy ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ so long^{3605 3117} as⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² live²⁴¹⁶ in^{5921 6440} the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers.¹

32  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ concerning⁴¹³ the stranger,⁵²³⁷ which⁸³⁴ is not³⁸⁰⁸ of thy people^{4480 5971} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ but is come⁹³⁵ from a far⁷³⁵⁰ country^{4480 776} for thy great name's sake,^{4616 1419 8034} and thy mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and thy stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm;²²²⁰ if they come⁹³⁵ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

33  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349} and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the stranger⁵²³⁷ calleth⁷¹²¹ to⁴¹³ thee for; that⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know^{3045 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and fear³³⁷² thee, as doth thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ is called⁷¹²¹ by thy name.⁸⁰³⁴

34  If³⁵⁸⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ go out³³¹⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ their enemies³⁴¹ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that⁸³⁴ thou shalt send⁷⁹⁷¹ them, and they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee toward¹⁸⁷⁰ this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name;⁸⁰³⁴

35  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens^{8064 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause.⁴⁹⁴¹

36  If³⁵⁸⁸ they sin²³⁹⁸ against thee, (for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ man¹²⁰ which⁸³⁴ sinneth²³⁹⁸ not,)³⁸⁰⁸ and thou be angry⁵⁹⁹ with them, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them over before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ and they carry them away captives^{7617 7617} unto⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ far off⁷³⁵⁰ or¹⁷⁶ near;⁷¹³⁸

37  Yet if they bethink themselves^{7725 413 3824} in the land⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} they are carried captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ and pray²⁶⁰³ unto⁴¹³ thee in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ we have done amiss,⁵⁷⁵³ and have dealt wickedly;⁷⁵⁶¹

38  If they return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁰ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul⁵³¹⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ whither⁸³⁴ they have carried them captives,^{7617 853} and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ their land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers,¹ and toward the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and toward the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

39  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplications,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause,⁴⁹⁴¹ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

40  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ let, I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ be¹⁹⁶¹ open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and let thine ears²⁴¹ be attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

41  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ into thy resting place,⁵¹¹⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and the ark⁷²⁷ of thy strength:⁵⁷⁹⁷ let thy priests,³⁵⁴⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ be clothed³⁸⁴⁷ with salvation,⁸⁶⁶⁸ and let thy saints²⁶²³ rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in goodness.²⁸⁹⁶

42  O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ turn not away^{7725 408} the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of thine anointed:⁴⁸⁹⁹ remember²¹⁴² the mercies²⁶¹⁷ of David¹⁷³² thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

2 Chronicles 7: 1-22

---

1  Now when Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of praying,⁶⁴¹⁹ the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down³³⁸¹ from heaven,^{4480 8064} and consumed³⁹⁸ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and the sacrifices;²⁰⁷⁷ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ filled^{4390 853} the house.¹⁰⁰⁴

2  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ enter⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled^{4390 853} the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

3  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ how the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down,³³⁸¹ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they bowed³⁷⁶⁶ themselves with their faces⁶³⁹ to the ground⁷⁷⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the pavement,⁷⁵³¹ and worshiped,⁷⁸¹² and praised³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For³⁵⁸⁸ he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

4  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ offered²⁰⁷⁶ sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered^{2076 853} a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ of twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ oxen,¹²⁴¹ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ so the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ dedicated^{2596 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

6  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ waited⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ their offices:⁴⁹³¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ also with instruments³⁶²⁷ of music⁷⁸⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ had made⁶²¹³ to praise³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ when David¹⁷³² praised¹⁹⁸⁴ by their ministry;³⁰²⁷ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded²⁶⁹⁰ trumpets before⁵⁰⁴⁸ them, and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵

7  Moreover Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ hallowed^{6942 853} the middle⁸⁴³² of the court²⁶⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ he offered⁶²¹³ burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² because³⁵⁸⁸ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ was not able^{3201 3808} to receive^{3557 853} the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and the fat.²⁴⁵⁹

8  Also at the same¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ kept^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ from the entering in^{4480 935} of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

9  And in the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ they made⁶²¹³ a solemn assembly:⁶¹¹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they kept⁶²¹³ the dedication²⁵⁹⁸ of the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.³¹¹⁷

10  And on the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ and twentieth⁶²⁴² day³¹¹⁷ of the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month²³²⁰ he sent^{7971 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ away into their tents,¹⁶⁸ glad⁸⁰⁵⁶ and merry²⁸⁹⁶ in heart³⁸²⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ the goodness²⁸⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had showed⁶²¹³ unto David,¹⁷³² and to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and to Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ finished^{3615 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that came⁹³⁵ into⁵⁹²¹ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ to make⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and in his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he prosperously effected.⁶⁷⁴³

12  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ to⁴¹³ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I have heard^{8085 853} thy prayer,⁸⁶⁰⁵ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ place⁴⁷²⁵ to myself for a house¹⁰⁰⁴ of sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷

13  If²⁰⁰⁵ I shut up⁶¹¹³ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ that there be¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ or if²⁰⁰⁵ I command^{6680 5921} the locusts²²⁸⁴ to devour³⁹⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ or if⁵¹⁸ I send⁷⁹⁷¹ pestilence¹⁶⁹⁸ among my people;⁵⁹⁷¹

14  If my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ are called^{7121 5921} by my name,⁸⁰³⁴ shall humble themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ and pray,⁶⁴¹⁹ and seek¹²⁴⁵ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ ways;^{4480 1870} then will I⁵⁸⁹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and will forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ their sin,²⁴⁰³ and will heal^{7495 853} their land.⁷⁷⁶

15  Now⁶²⁵⁸ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and mine ears²⁴¹ attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

16  For now⁶²⁵⁸ have I chosen⁹⁷⁷ and sanctified^{6942 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ may be¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁰³³ forever:^{5704 5769} and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and mine heart³⁸²⁰ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁰³³ perpetually.^{3605 3117}

17  And as for thee,⁸⁵⁹ if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, as⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² thy father¹ walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee, and shalt observe⁸¹⁰⁴ my statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and my judgments;⁴⁹⁴¹

18  Then will I establish^{6965 853} the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of thy kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ according as⁸³⁴ I have covenanted³⁷⁷² with David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ to be ruler⁴⁹¹⁰ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

19  But if⁵¹⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ turn away,⁷⁷²⁵ and forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ my statutes²⁷⁰⁸ and my commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worship⁷⁸¹² them;

20  Then will I pluck them up by the roots⁵⁴²⁸ out of^{4480 5921} my land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them; and this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have sanctified⁶⁹⁴² for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ will I cast out⁷⁹⁹³ of^{4480 5921} my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and will make⁵⁴¹⁴ it to be a proverb⁴⁹¹² and a byword⁸¹⁴⁸ among all³⁶⁰⁵ nations.⁵⁹⁷¹

21  And this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is¹⁹⁶¹ high,⁵⁹⁴⁵ shall be an astonishment⁸⁰⁷⁴ to every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ it; so that he shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ done⁶²¹³ thus³⁶⁰² unto this²⁰⁶³ land,⁷⁷⁶ and unto this²⁰⁸⁸ house?¹⁰⁰⁴

22  And it shall be answered,⁵⁵⁹ Because^{5921 834} they forsook^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ which⁸³⁴ brought them forth³³¹⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and laid hold²³⁸⁸ on other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² them, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them: therefore^{5921 3651} hath he brought^{935 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

2 Chronicles 8: 1-18

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end^{4480 7093} of twenty⁶²⁴² years,⁸¹⁴¹ wherein⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴

2  That the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ Huram²⁴³⁸ had restored⁵⁴¹⁴ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ built¹¹²⁹ them, and caused ⁸⁵³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to dwell³⁴²⁷ there.⁸⁰³³

3  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Hamath-zobah,²⁵⁷⁸ and prevailed²³⁸⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ it.

4  And he built^{1129 853} Tadmor⁸⁴¹² in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ he built¹¹²⁹ in Hamath.²⁵⁷⁴

5  Also he built^{1129 853} Beth-horon¹⁰³² the upper,⁵⁹⁴⁵ and Beth-horon¹⁰³² the nether,⁸⁴⁸¹ fenced⁴⁶⁹² cities,⁵⁸⁹² with walls,²³⁴⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars;¹²⁸⁰

6  And Baalath,¹¹⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had,¹⁹⁶¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ desired^{2837 2836} to build¹¹²⁹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of his dominion.⁴⁴⁷⁵

7  As for all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were left³⁴⁹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and the Perizzites,⁶⁵²² and the Hivites,²³⁴⁰ and the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ which⁸³⁴ were not³⁸⁰⁸ of Israel,^{4480 3478}

8  But of⁴⁴⁸⁰ their children,¹¹²¹ who⁸³⁴ were left³⁴⁹⁸ after³¹⁰ them in the land,⁷⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ consumed³⁶¹⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ them did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make to pay⁵⁹²⁷ tribute⁴⁵²² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

9  But of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make⁵⁴¹⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for his work;⁴³⁹⁹ but³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ and chief⁸²⁶⁹ of his captains,⁷⁹⁹¹ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of his chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen.⁶⁵⁷¹

10  And these⁴²⁸ were the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ officers,⁵³²⁴ even two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty,²⁵⁷² that bore rule⁷²⁸⁷ over the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ out of the city^{4480 5892} of David¹⁷³² unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built¹¹²⁹ for her: for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ My wife⁸⁰² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ dwell³⁴²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the places are holy,⁶⁹⁴⁴ whereunto^{834 413} the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath come.⁹³⁵

12  Then²²⁷ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ on⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he had built¹¹²⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the porch,¹⁹⁷

13  Even after a certain rate¹⁶⁹⁷ every day,^{3117 3117} offering⁵⁹²⁷ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times⁶⁴⁷¹ in the year,⁸¹⁴¹ even in the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread,⁴⁶⁸² and in the feast²²⁸² of weeks,⁷⁶²⁰ and in the feast²²⁸² of tabernacles.⁵⁵²¹

14  And he appointed,⁵⁹⁷⁵ according to the order⁴⁹⁴¹ of David¹⁷³² his father,^{1 853} the courses⁴²⁵⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ their service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to⁵⁹²¹ their charges,⁴⁹³¹ to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ and minister⁸³³⁴ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ as the duty¹⁶⁹⁷ of every day required:^{3117 3117} the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ also by their courses⁴²⁵⁶ at every gate:^{8179 8179} for³⁵⁸⁸ so³⁶⁵¹ had David¹⁷³² the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ commanded.⁴⁶⁸⁷

15  And they departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and Levites³⁸⁸¹ concerning any³⁶⁰⁵ matter,¹⁶⁹⁷ or concerning the treasures.²¹⁴

16  Now all³⁶⁰⁵ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was prepared³⁵⁵⁹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the day³¹¹⁷ of the foundation⁴¹⁴³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and until⁵⁷⁰⁴ it was finished.³⁶¹⁵ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was perfected.⁸⁰⁰³

17  Then²²⁷ went¹⁹⁸⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Ezion-geber,⁶¹⁰⁰ and to⁴¹³ Eloth,³⁵⁹ at⁵⁹²¹ the sea³²²⁰ side⁸¹⁹³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom.¹²³

18  And Huram²³⁶¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him by the hands³⁰²⁷ of his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ ships,⁵⁹¹ and servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ of the sea;³²²⁰ and they went⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Ophir,²¹¹ and took³⁹⁴⁷ thence^{4480 8033} four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ them to⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

2 Chronicles 9: 1-31

---

1  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ heard^{8085 853} of the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she came⁹³⁵ to prove^{5254 853} Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ with hard questions²⁴²⁰ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹⁵ company,²⁴²⁸ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ that bore⁵³⁷⁵ spices,¹³¹⁴ and gold²⁰⁹¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ him ⁸⁵³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ her heart.³⁸²⁴

2  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ her questions:¹⁶⁹⁷ and there was nothing^{3808 1697} hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from Solomon^{4480 8010} which⁸³⁴ he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her not.³⁸⁰⁸

3  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ had seen^{7200 853} the wisdom²⁴⁵¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built,¹¹²⁹

4  And the meat³⁹⁷⁸ of his table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the sitting⁴¹⁸⁶ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the attendance⁴⁶¹² of his ministers,⁸³³⁴ and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ his cupbearers⁴⁹⁴⁵ also, and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ and his ascent⁵⁹⁴⁴ by which⁸³⁴ he went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in her.

5  And she said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ It was a true⁵⁷¹ report¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in mine own land⁷⁷⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ thine acts,¹⁶⁹⁷ and of⁵⁹²¹ thy wisdom:²⁴⁵¹

6  Howbeit I believed⁵³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their words,¹⁶⁹⁷ until^{5704 834} I came,⁹³⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ it: and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the one half²⁶⁷⁷ of the greatness⁴⁷⁶⁸ of thy wisdom²⁴⁵¹ was not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: for thou exceedest^{3254 5921} the fame⁸⁰⁵² that⁸³⁴ I heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

7  Happy⁸³⁵ are thy men,³⁷⁶ and happy⁸³⁵ are these⁴²⁸ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and hear^{8085 853} thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

8  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ delighted²⁶⁵⁴ in thee to set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ to be king⁴⁴²⁸ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God:⁴³⁰ because thy God⁴³⁰ loved^{160 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to establish⁵⁹⁷⁵ them forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ therefore made⁵⁴¹⁴ he thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ them, to do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice.⁶⁶⁶⁶

9  And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of spices¹³¹⁴ great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ there any such¹⁹³¹ spice¹³¹⁴ as⁸³⁴ the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

10  And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ of Huram,²⁴³⁸ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ which⁸³⁴ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ from Ophir,^{4480 211} brought⁹³⁵ algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones.⁶⁸

11  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{6213 853} of the algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ terraces⁴⁵⁴⁶ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ palace,¹⁰⁰⁴ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ for singers:⁷⁸⁹¹ and there were none³⁸⁰⁸ such¹⁹⁹² seen⁷²⁰⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

12  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba^{7614 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ her desire,²⁶⁵⁶ whatsoever⁸³⁴ she asked,⁷⁵⁹² beside^{4480 905} that which⁸³⁴ she had brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸ So she turned,²⁰¹⁵ and went away¹⁹⁸⁰ to her own land,⁷⁷⁶ she¹⁹³¹ and her servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

13  Now the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and six⁸³³⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of gold;²⁰⁹¹

14  Beside⁹⁰⁵ that which chapmen^{4480 376 8446} and merchants⁵⁵⁰³ brought.⁹³⁵ And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Arabia⁶¹⁵² and governors⁶³⁴⁶ of the country⁷⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver³⁷⁰¹ to Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

15  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ targets⁶⁷⁹³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ target.⁶⁷⁹³

16  And three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shields⁴⁰⁴³ made he of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ shield.⁴⁰⁴³ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon.³⁸⁴⁴

17  Moreover the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ a great¹⁴¹⁹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ of ivory,⁸¹²⁷ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ it with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹

18  And there were six⁸³³⁷ steps⁴⁶⁰⁹ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ with a footstool³⁵³⁴ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ which were fastened²⁷⁰ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and stays³⁰²⁷ on each side^{4480 2088 4480 2088} of⁵⁹²¹ the sitting⁷⁶⁷⁵ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ lions⁷³⁸ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁶⁸¹ the stays:³⁰²⁷

19  And twelve^{8147 6240} lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ there⁸⁰³³ on the one side^{4480 2088} and on the other^{4480 2088} upon⁵⁹²¹ the six⁸³³⁷ steps.⁴⁶⁰⁹ There was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like³⁶⁵¹ made⁶²¹³ in any³⁶⁰⁵ kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

20  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the drinking⁴⁹⁴⁵ vessels³⁶²⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ were of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ none³⁶⁹ were of silver;³⁷⁰¹ it was not any thing³⁹⁷² accounted²⁸⁰³ of in the days³¹¹⁷ of Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ ships⁵⁹¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Huram:²³⁶¹ every three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ once²⁵⁹ came⁹³⁵ the ships⁵⁹¹ of Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ bringing⁵³⁷⁵ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ ivory,⁸¹⁴³ and apes,⁶⁹⁷¹ and peacocks.⁸⁵⁰⁰

22  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ passed¹⁴³¹ all^{4480 3605} the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in riches⁶²³⁹ and wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

23  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ sought^{1245 853} the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ to hear^{8085 853} his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ had put⁵⁴¹⁴ in his heart.³⁸²⁰

24  And they¹⁹⁹² brought⁹³⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his present,⁴⁵⁰³ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁰⁰⁸ harness,⁵⁴⁰² and spices,¹³¹⁴ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ a rate¹⁶⁹⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year.⁸¹⁴¹

25  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had¹⁹⁶¹ four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ stalls⁷²³ for horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots,⁴⁸¹⁸ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen;⁶⁵⁷¹ whom he bestowed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

26  And he reigned^{1961 4910} over all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river⁵¹⁰⁴ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the border¹³⁶⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

27  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the low plains⁸²¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

28  And they brought³³¹⁸ unto Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ horses⁵⁴⁸³ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and out of all^{4480 3605} lands.⁷⁷⁶

29  Now the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and in⁵⁹²¹ the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite,⁷⁸⁸⁸ and in the visions²³⁷⁸ of Iddo³²⁶⁰ the seer²³⁷⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat?⁵⁰²⁸

30  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

31  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and he was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 10: 1-19

---

1  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Shechem:⁷⁹²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ to Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ were all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ come⁹³⁵ to make him king.^{4427 853}

2  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ who¹⁹³¹ was in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ whither⁸³⁴ he had fled¹²⁷² from the presence^{4480 6440} of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ out of Egypt.^{4480 4714}

3  And they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called⁷¹²¹ him. So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Thy father¹ made ⁸⁵³ our yoke⁵⁹²³ grievous:⁷¹⁸⁵ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore ease⁷⁰⁴³ thou somewhat the grievous⁷¹⁸⁶ servitude^{4480 5656} of thy father,¹ and his heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke^{4480 5923} that⁸³⁴ he put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, and we will serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee.

5  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Come again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me after⁵⁷⁵⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days.³¹¹⁷ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ departed.¹⁹⁸⁰

6  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ the old men²²⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ had¹⁹⁶¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his father¹ while he yet lived,^{1961 2416} saying,⁵⁵⁹ What³⁴⁹ counsel give³²⁸⁹ ye⁸⁵⁹ me to return⁷⁷²⁵ answer¹⁶⁹⁷ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people?⁵⁹⁷¹

7  And they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ thou be¹⁹⁶¹ kind²⁸⁹⁶ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and please⁷⁵²¹ them, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ words¹⁶⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ them, they will be¹⁹⁶¹ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ forever.^{3605 3117}

8  But he forsook^{5800 853} the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ which⁸³⁴ the old men²²⁰⁵ gave³²⁸⁹ him, and took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ the young men³²⁰⁶ that⁸³⁴ were brought up¹⁴³¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him, that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

9  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, What⁴¹⁰⁰ advice give³²⁸⁹ ye⁸⁵⁹ that we may return⁷⁷²⁵ answer^{1697 853} to this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ease⁷⁰⁴³ somewhat⁴⁴⁸⁰ the yoke⁵⁹²³ that⁸³⁴ thy father¹ did put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ us?

10  And the young men³²⁰⁶ that⁸³⁴ were brought up¹⁴³¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou answer⁵⁵⁹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thy father¹ made our yoke heavy,^{3513 853 5923} but make thou it somewhat lighter^{859 7043} for^{4480 5921} us; thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, My little⁶⁹⁹⁵ finger shall be thicker⁵⁶⁶⁶ than my father's¹ loins.^{4480 4975}

11  For whereas⁶²⁵⁸ my father¹ put⁶⁰⁰⁶ a heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke⁵⁹²³ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, I⁵⁸⁹ will put more³²⁵⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ your yoke:⁵⁹²³ my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I⁵⁸⁹ will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷

12  So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ as⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ bade,¹⁶⁹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ me on the third⁷⁹⁹² day.³¹¹⁷

13  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ them roughly;⁷¹⁸⁶ and king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ forsook^{5800 853} the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the old men,²²⁰⁵

14  And answered^{1696 413} them after the advice⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the young men,³²⁰⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ My father¹ made your yoke heavy,^{3513 853 5923} but I⁵⁸⁹ will add³²⁵⁴ thereto:⁵⁹²¹ my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I⁵⁸⁹ will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷

15  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the cause⁵²⁵² was¹⁹⁶¹ of^{4480 5973} God,⁴³⁰ that⁴⁶¹⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ might perform^{6965 853} his word,¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite⁷⁸⁸⁸ to⁴¹³ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat.⁵⁰²⁸

16  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw that³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto them, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered^{7725 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ portion²⁵⁰⁶ have we in David?¹⁷³² and we have none³⁸⁰⁸ inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse:³⁴⁴⁸ every man³⁷⁶ to your tents,¹⁶⁸ O Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and now,⁶²⁵⁸ David,¹⁷³² see⁷²⁰⁰ to thine own house.¹⁰⁰⁴ So all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to their tents.¹⁶⁸

17  But as for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ them.

18  Then king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ sent^{7971 853} Hadoram¹⁹¹³ that⁸³⁴ was over⁵⁹²¹ the tribute;⁴⁵²² and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones,⁶⁸ that he died.⁴¹⁹¹ But king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made speed⁵⁵³ to get him up⁵⁹²⁷ to his chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ to flee⁵¹²⁷ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

19  And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ rebelled⁶⁵⁸⁶ against the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

---

2 Chronicles 11: 1-23

---

1  And when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was come⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ he gathered^{6950 853} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men, which were warriors,^{6213 4421} to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he might bring^{7725 853} the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ again to Rehoboam.⁷³⁴⁶

2  But the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

3  Speak⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ go up,⁵⁹²⁷ nor³⁸⁰⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ your brethren:²⁵¹ return⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his house:¹⁰⁰⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is done¹⁹⁶¹ of^{4480 854} me. And they obeyed^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ from going^{4480 1980} against⁴¹³ Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹

5  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and built¹¹²⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² for defense⁴⁶⁹² in Judah.³⁰⁶³

6  He built¹¹²⁹ even ⁸⁵³ Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ and Etam,⁵⁸⁶² and Tekoa,⁸⁶²⁰

7  And Beth-zur,¹⁰⁴⁹ and Shoco,⁷⁷⁵⁵ and Adullam,⁵⁷²⁵

8  And Gath,¹⁶⁶¹ and Mareshah,⁴⁷⁶² and Ziph,²¹²⁸

9  And Adoraim,¹¹⁵ and Lachish,³⁹²³ and Azekah,⁵⁸²⁵

10  And Zorah,⁶⁶⁸¹ and Aijalon,³⁵⁷ and Hebron,²²⁷⁵ which⁸³⁴ are in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities.⁵⁸⁹²

11  And he fortified^{2388 853} the strongholds,⁴⁶⁹⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ captains⁵⁰⁵⁷ in them, and store²¹⁴ of victual,³⁹⁷⁸ and of oil⁸⁰⁸¹ and wine.³¹⁹⁶

12  And in every³⁶⁰⁵ several city^{5892 5892} he put shields⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ and made them exceeding strong,^{2388 7235 3966} having¹⁹⁶¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ on his side.

13  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that⁸³⁴ were in all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ resorted³³²⁰ to⁵⁹²¹ him out of all^{4480 3605} their coasts.¹³⁶⁶

14  For³⁵⁸⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ left^{5800 853} their suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ and their possession,²⁷² and came¹⁹⁸⁰ to Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and his sons¹¹²¹ had cast them off²¹⁸⁶ from executing the priest's office^{4480 3547} unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸

15  And he ordained⁵⁹⁷⁵ him priests³⁵⁴⁸ for the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and for the devils,⁸¹⁶³ and for the calves⁵⁶⁹⁵ which⁸³⁴ he had made.⁶²¹³

16  And after³¹⁰ them out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ such as set^{5414 853} their hearts³⁸²⁴ to seek^{1245 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

17  So they strengthened^{2388 853} the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made ⁸⁵³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ strong,⁵⁵³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years:⁸¹⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ they walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of David¹⁷³² and Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

18  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ him ⁸⁵³ Mahalath⁴²⁵⁸ the daughter¹³²³ of Jerimoth³⁴⁰⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² to wife,⁸⁰² and Abihail³² the daughter¹³²³ of Eliab⁴⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse;³⁴⁴⁸

19  Which bore³²⁰⁵ him children;^{1121 853} Jeush,³²⁶⁶ and Shamariah,⁸¹¹⁴ and Zaham.²⁰⁹³

20  And after³¹⁰ her he took^{3947 853} Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom;⁵³ which bore³²⁰⁵ him ⁸⁵³ Abijah,²⁹ and Attai,⁶²⁶² and Ziza,²¹²⁴ and Shelomith.⁸⁰¹⁹

21  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ loved^{157 853} Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom⁵³ above all^{4480 3605} his wives⁸⁰² and his concubines:⁶³⁷⁰ (for³⁵⁸⁸ he took⁵³⁷⁵ eighteen^{8083 6240} wives,⁸⁰² and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ concubines;⁶³⁷⁰ and begot³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and eight⁸⁰⁸³ sons,¹¹²¹ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ daughters.)¹³²³

22  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made^{5975 853} Abijah²⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the chief,⁷²¹⁸ to be ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ among his brethren:²⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he thought to make him king.⁴⁴²⁷

23  And he dealt wisely,⁹⁹⁵ and dispersed⁶⁵⁵⁵ of all^{4480 3605} his children¹¹²¹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the countries⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ unto every³⁶⁰⁵ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ city:⁵⁸⁹² and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them victual⁴²⁰² in abundance.⁷²³⁰ And he desired⁷⁵⁹² many¹⁹⁹⁵ wives.⁸⁰²

2 Chronicles 12: 1-16

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ had established³⁵⁵⁹ the kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and had strengthened²³⁹⁴ himself, he forsook^{5800 853} the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

2  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they had transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

3  With twelve hundred^{505 3967} chariots,⁷³⁹³ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were without³⁶⁹ number⁴⁵⁵⁷ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him out of Egypt;^{4480 4714} the Lubims,³⁸⁶⁴ the Sukkiims,⁵⁵²⁵ and the Ethiopians.³⁵⁶⁹

4  And he took^{3920 853} the fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ pertained to Judah,³⁰⁶³ and came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  Then came⁹³⁵ Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ and to the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were gathered together⁶²² to⁴¹³ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ because of^{4480 6440} Shishak,⁷⁸⁹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye⁸⁵⁹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and therefore have I⁵⁸⁹ also⁶³⁷ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ you in the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵

6  Whereupon the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ humbled themselves;³⁶⁶⁵ and they said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is righteous.⁶⁶⁶²

7  And when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ they humbled themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ They have humbled themselves;³⁶⁶⁵ therefore I will not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ them, but I will grant⁵⁴¹⁴ them some⁴⁵⁹² deliverance;⁶⁴¹³ and my wrath²⁵³⁴ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵

8  Nevertheless³⁵⁸⁸ they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ his servants;⁵⁶⁵⁰ that they may know³⁰⁴⁵ my service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the countries.⁷⁷⁶

9  So Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and took away^{3947 853} the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ he took^{3947 853} all:³⁶⁰⁵ he carried away^{3947 853} also the shields⁴⁰⁴³ of gold²⁰⁹¹ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made.⁶²¹³

10  Instead of⁸⁴⁷⁸ which king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made⁶²¹³ shields⁴⁰⁴³ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and committed⁶⁴⁸⁵ them to⁵⁹²¹ the hands³⁰²⁷ of the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard,⁷³²³ that kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the entrance⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

11  And when^{4480 1767} the king⁴⁴²⁸ entered into^{1961 935} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the guard⁷³²³ came⁹³⁵ and fetched⁵³⁷⁵ them, and brought them again⁷⁷²⁵ into⁴¹³ the guard⁷³²³ chamber.⁸³⁷²

12  And when he humbled himself,³⁶⁶⁵ the wrath⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, that he would not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ him altogether:³⁶¹⁷ and also¹⁵⁷¹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ things¹⁶⁹⁷ went¹⁹⁶¹ well.²⁸⁹⁶

13  So king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ strengthened himself²³⁸⁸ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and reigned:⁴⁴²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was one²⁵⁹ and forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ seventeen^{7651 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had chosen⁹⁷⁷ out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to put^{7760 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ there.⁸⁰³³ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Naamah⁵²⁷⁹ an Ammonitess.⁵⁹⁸⁴

14  And he did⁶²¹³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ he prepared³⁵⁵⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ his heart³⁸²⁰ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  Now the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and of Iddo⁵⁷¹⁴ the seer²³⁷⁴ concerning genealogies?³¹⁸⁷ And there were wars⁴⁴²¹ between Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ and Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ continually.^{3605 3117}

16  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Abijah²⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 13: 1-22

1  Now in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ began Abijah²⁹ to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  He reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Michaiah⁴³²² the daughter¹³²³ of Uriel²²² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Gibeah.¹³⁹⁰ And there was¹⁹⁶¹ war⁴⁴²¹ between⁹⁹⁶ Abijah²⁹ and Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹

3  And Abijah²⁹ set^{631 853} the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array with an army²⁴²⁸ of valiant men¹³⁶⁸ of war,⁴⁴²¹ even four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men:³⁷⁶ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ also set the battle in array^{6186 4421} against⁵⁹⁷³ him with eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men,³⁷⁶ being mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

4  And Abijah²⁹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ upon^{4480 5921} mount²⁰²² Zemaraim,⁶⁷⁸⁷ which⁸³⁴ is in mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, thou Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸

5  Ought ye not³⁸⁰⁸ to know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to David¹⁷³² forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ even to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ by a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of salt?⁴⁴¹⁷

6  Yet Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David,¹⁷³² is risen up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and hath rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ his lord.¹¹³

7  And there are gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ him vain⁷³⁸⁶ men,³⁷⁶ the children¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ and have strengthened themselves⁵⁵³ against⁵⁹²¹ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ young⁵²⁸⁸ and tenderhearted,^{7390 3824} and could not³⁸⁰⁸ withstand^{2388 6440} them.

8  And now⁶²⁵⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ think⁵⁵⁹ to withstand²³⁸⁸ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the sons¹¹²¹ of David;¹⁷³² and ye⁸⁵⁹ be a great⁷²²⁷ multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and there are with⁵⁹⁷³ you golden²⁰⁹¹ calves,⁵⁶⁹⁵ which⁸³⁴ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ made⁶²¹³ you for gods.⁴³⁰

9  Have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ cast out^{5080 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,^{3068 853} the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and have made⁶²¹³ you priests³⁵⁴⁸ after the manner of the nations⁵⁹⁷¹ of other lands?⁷⁷⁶ so that whosoever³⁶⁰⁵ cometh⁹³⁵ to consecrate^{4390 3027} himself with a young^{1121 1241} bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams,³⁵² the same may be¹⁹⁶¹ a priest³⁵⁴⁸ of them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods.⁴³⁰

10  But as for us,⁵⁸⁷ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is our God,⁴³⁰ and we have not³⁸⁰⁸ forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him; and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ which minister⁸³³⁴ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ wait upon their business:⁴³⁹⁹

11  And they burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ every morning^{1242 1242} and every evening^{6153 6153} burnt sacrifices⁵⁹³⁰ and sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense:⁷⁰⁰⁴ the shewbread^{3899 4635} also set they in order upon⁵⁹²¹ the pure²⁸⁸⁹ table;⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the candlestick⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the lamps⁵²¹⁶ thereof, to burn¹¹⁹⁷ every evening:^{6153 6153} for³⁵⁸⁸ we⁵⁸⁷ keep^{8104 853} the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ but ye⁸⁵⁹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him.

12  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ God⁴³⁰ himself is with⁵⁹⁷³ us for our captain,⁷²¹⁸ and his priests³⁵⁴⁸ with sounding⁸⁶⁴³ trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to cry alarm⁷³²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ you. O children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not⁴⁰⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers;¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

13  But Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ caused^{5437 853} an ambushment³⁹⁹³ to come about⁹³⁵ behind^{4480 310} them: so they were¹⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the ambushment³⁹⁹³ was behind^{4480 310} them.

14  And when Judah³⁰⁶³ looked back,⁶⁴³⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the battle⁴⁴²¹ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ and behind:²⁶⁸ and they cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded²⁶⁹⁰ with the trumpets.²⁶⁸⁹

15  Then the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ gave a shout:⁷³²¹ and as the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shouted,⁷³²¹ it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that God⁴³⁰ smote^{5062 853} Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abijah²⁹ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

16  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fled⁵¹²⁷ before^{4480 6440} Judah:³⁰⁶³ and God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into their hand.³⁰²⁷

17  And Abijah²⁹ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ slew⁵²²¹ them with a great⁷²²⁷ slaughter:⁴³⁴⁷ so there fell down⁵³⁰⁷ slain²⁴⁹¹ of Israel^{4480 3478} five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men.³⁷⁶

18  Thus the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were brought under³⁶⁶⁵ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ prevailed,⁵⁵³ because³⁵⁸⁸ they relied⁸¹⁷² upon⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

19  And Abijah²⁹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and took³⁹²⁰ cities⁵⁸⁹² from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, ⁸⁵³ Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Jeshanah³⁴⁶⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Ephrain⁶⁰⁸⁵ with the towns¹³²³ thereof.

20  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ did Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ recover⁶¹¹³ strength³⁵⁸¹ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Abijah:²⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² him, and he died.⁴¹⁹¹

21  But Abijah²⁹ waxed mighty,²³⁸⁸ and married⁵³⁷⁵ fourteen^{702 6240} wives,⁸⁰² and begot³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ and sixteen^{8337 6240} daughters.¹³²³

22  And the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Abijah,²⁹ and his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sayings,¹⁶⁹⁷ are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Iddo.⁵⁷¹⁴

2 Chronicles 14: 1-15

---

1  So Abijah²⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸ In his days³¹¹⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ was quiet⁸²⁵² ten⁶²³⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ did⁶²¹³ that which was good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God:⁴³⁰

3  For he took away^{5493 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ of the strange⁵²³⁶ gods, and the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and broke down^{7665 853} the images,⁴⁶⁷⁶ and cut down^{1438 853} the groves:⁸⁴²

4  And commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and to do⁶²¹³ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ and the commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷

5  Also he took away⁵⁴⁹³ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah^{3063 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and the images:²⁵⁵³ and the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was quiet⁸²⁵² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

6  And he built¹¹²⁹ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest,⁸²⁵² and he had no³⁶⁹ war⁴⁴²¹ in those⁴²⁸ years;⁸¹⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given him rest.⁵¹¹⁷

7  Therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Judah,³⁰⁶³ Let us build^{1129 853} these⁴²⁸ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and make about⁵⁴³⁷ them walls,²³⁴⁶ and towers,⁴⁰²⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars,¹²⁸⁰ while the land⁷⁷⁶ is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us; because³⁵⁸⁸ we have sought^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ we have sought¹⁸⁷⁵ him, and he hath given us rest⁵¹¹⁷ on every side.^{4480 5439} So they built¹¹²⁹ and prospered.⁶⁷⁴³

8  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ had¹⁹⁶¹ an army²⁴²⁸ of men that bore⁵³⁷⁵ targets⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Judah³⁰⁶³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and out of Benjamin,^{4480 1144} that bore⁵³⁷⁵ shields⁴⁰⁴³ and drew¹⁸⁶⁹ bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

9  And there came out³³¹⁸ against⁴¹³ them Zerah²²²⁶ the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ with a host²⁴²⁸ of a thousand⁵⁰⁵ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots;⁴⁸¹⁸ and came⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

10  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ went out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, and they set the battle in array^{6186 4421} in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of Zephathah⁶⁸⁵⁹ at Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

11  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ cried⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ it is nothing³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee to help,⁵⁸²⁶ whether⁹⁹⁶ with many,⁷²²⁷ or with them that have no³⁶⁹ power:³⁵⁸¹ help⁵⁸²⁶ us, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ we rest⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ thee, and in thy name⁸⁰³⁴ we go⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ multitude.¹⁹⁹⁵ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art our God;⁴³⁰ let not⁴⁰⁸ man⁵⁸² prevail⁶¹¹³ against⁵⁹⁷³ thee.

12  So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote^{5062 853} the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ fled.⁵¹²⁷

13  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ were with⁵⁹⁷³ him pursued⁷²⁹¹ them unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Gerar:¹⁶⁴² and the Ethiopians^{4480 3569} were overthrown,⁵³⁰⁷ that they could not³⁶⁹ recover⁴²⁴¹ themselves; for³⁵⁸⁸ they were destroyed⁷⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his host;⁴²⁶⁴ and they carried away⁵³⁷⁵ very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ spoil.⁷⁹⁹⁸

14  And they smote^{5221 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² round about⁵⁴³⁹ Gerar;¹⁶⁴² for³⁵⁸⁸ the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: and they spoiled^{962 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities;⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ exceeding much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁹⁶¹ in them.

15  They smote⁵²²¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ the tents¹⁶⁸ of cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2 Chronicles 15: 1-19

1  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Oded:⁵⁷⁵²

2  And he went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye me, Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁵⁹⁷³ you, while ye be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him; and if⁵¹⁸ ye seek¹⁸⁷⁵ him, he will be found⁴⁶⁷² of you; but if⁵¹⁸ ye forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ him, he will forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ you.

3  Now for a long season^{7227 3117} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath been without³⁸⁰⁸ the true⁵⁷¹ God,⁴³⁰ and without³⁸⁰⁸ a teaching³³⁸⁴ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and without³⁸⁰⁸ law.⁸⁴⁵¹

4  But when they in their trouble⁶⁸⁶² did turn⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and sought¹²⁴⁵ him, he was found⁴⁶⁷² of them.

5  And in those¹⁹⁹² times⁶²⁵⁶ there was no³⁶⁹ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to him that went out,³³¹⁸ nor to him that came in,⁹³⁵ but³⁵⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ vexations⁴¹⁰³ were upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the countries.⁷⁷⁶

6  And nation¹⁴⁷¹ was destroyed³⁸⁰⁷ of nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and city⁵⁸⁹² of city:⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ did vex²⁰⁰⁰ them with all³⁶⁰⁵ adversity.⁶⁸⁶⁹

7  Be ye strong^{859 2388} therefore, and let not⁴⁰⁸ your hands³⁰²⁷ be weak:⁷⁵⁰³ for³⁵⁸⁸ your work⁶⁴⁶⁸ shall be³⁴²⁶ rewarded.⁷⁹³⁹

8  And when Asa⁶⁰⁹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Oded⁵⁷⁵² the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ he took courage,²³⁸⁸ and put away⁵⁶⁷⁴ the abominable idols⁸²⁵¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ he had taken³⁹²⁰ from mount^{4480 2022} Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and renewed^{2318 853} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the porch¹⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  And he gathered^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and the strangers¹⁴⁸¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ them out of Ephraim^{4480 669} and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and out of Simeon:^{4480 8095} for³⁵⁸⁸ they fell⁵³⁰⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ him out of Israel^{4480 3478} in abundance,⁷²³⁰ when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

10  So they gathered themselves together⁶⁹⁰⁸ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in the third⁷⁹⁹² month,²³²⁰ in the fifteenth^{2568 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa.⁶⁰⁹

11  And they offered²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the same¹⁹³¹ time,³¹¹⁷ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ which they had brought,⁹³⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen¹²⁴¹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

12  And they entered⁹³⁵ into a covenant¹²⁸⁵ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers¹ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁴ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul;⁵³¹⁵

13  That whosoever^{3605 834} would not³⁸⁰⁸ seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ should be put to death,⁴¹⁹¹ whether⁴⁴⁸⁰ small⁶⁹⁹⁶ or⁵⁷⁰⁴ great,¹⁴¹⁹ whether man^{4480 376} or⁵⁷⁰⁴ woman.⁸⁰²

14  And they swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and with shouting,⁸⁶⁴³ and with trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ and with cornets.⁷⁷⁸²

15  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ rejoiced⁸⁰⁵⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ the oath:⁷⁶²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they had sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart,³⁸²⁴ and sought¹²⁴⁵ him with their whole³⁶⁰⁵ desire;⁷⁵²² and he was found⁴⁶⁷² of them: and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ gave them rest⁵¹¹⁷ round about.^{4480 5439}

16  And also¹⁵⁷¹ concerning Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ he removed⁵⁴⁹³ her from being queen,^{4480 1377} because⁸³⁴ she had made⁶²¹³ an idol⁴⁶⁵⁶ in a grove:⁸⁴² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ cut down^{3772 853} her idol,⁴⁶⁵⁶ and stamped¹⁸⁵⁴ it, and burnt⁸³¹³ it at the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

17  But the high places¹¹¹⁶ were not³⁸⁰⁸ taken away⁵⁴⁹³ out of Israel:^{4480 3478} nevertheless⁷⁵³⁵ the heart³⁸²⁴ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ was¹⁹⁶¹ perfect⁸⁰⁰³ all³⁶⁰⁵ his days.³¹¹⁷

18  And he brought into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God^{430 853} the things that his father¹ had dedicated,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and that he himself had dedicated,⁶⁹⁴⁴ silver,³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ and vessels.³⁶²⁷

19  And there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more war⁴⁴²¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the five²⁵⁶⁸ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa.⁶⁰⁹

2 Chronicles 16: 1-14

---

1  In the six⁸³³⁷ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ Baasha¹²⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and built^{1129 853} Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ to the intent that he might let⁵⁴¹⁴ none¹¹¹⁵ go out³³¹⁸ or come in⁹³⁵ to Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ brought out³³¹⁸ silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ out of the treasures^{4480 214} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ and of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Ben-hadad¹¹³⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Damascus,¹⁸³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

3  There is a league¹²⁸⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ me and thee, as there was between⁹⁹⁶ my father¹ and thy father:¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ thee silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold;²⁰⁹¹ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ break⁶⁵⁶⁵ thy league¹²⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ Baasha¹²⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he may depart⁵⁹²⁷ from^{4480 5921} me.

4  And Ben-hadad¹¹³⁰ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and sent^{7971 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of his⁸³⁴ armies²⁴²⁸ against⁴¹³ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and they smote^{5221 853} Ijon,⁵⁸⁵⁹ and Dan,¹⁸³⁵ and Abel-maim,⁶⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Naphtali.⁵³²¹

5  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Baasha¹²⁰¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that he left off²³⁰⁸ building^{4480 1129 853} of Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ and let ⁸⁵³ his work⁴³⁹⁹ cease.⁷⁶⁷³

6  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ took^{3947 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and they carried away^{5375 853} the stones⁶⁸ of Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ and the timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ thereof, wherewith⁸³⁴ Baasha¹²⁰¹ was building;¹¹²⁹ and he built¹¹²⁹ therewith ⁸⁵³ Geba¹³⁸⁷ and Mizpah.⁴⁷⁰⁹

7  And at that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ Hanani²⁶⁰⁷ the seer⁷²⁰³ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Because thou hast relied⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ and not³⁸⁰⁸ relied⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ therefore^{5921 3651} is the host²⁴²⁸ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ escaped⁴⁴²² out of thine hand.^{4480 3027}

8  Were¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ and the Lubims³⁸⁶⁴ a huge⁷²³⁰ host,²⁴²⁸ with very³⁹⁶⁶ many⁷²³⁵ chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen?⁶⁵⁷¹ yet, because thou didst rely⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into thine hand.³⁰²⁷

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ run to and fro⁷⁷⁵¹ throughout the whole³⁶⁰⁵ earth,⁷⁷⁶ to show himself strong²³⁸⁸ in the behalf of⁵⁹⁷³ them whose heart³⁸²⁴ is perfect⁸⁰⁰³ toward⁴¹³ him. Herein^{5921 2063} thou hast done foolishly:⁵⁵²⁸ therefore³⁵⁸⁸ from henceforth^{4480 6258} thou shalt have³⁴²⁶ wars.⁴⁴²¹

10  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ was wroth³⁷⁰⁷ with⁴¹³ the seer,⁷²⁰³ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him in a prison⁴¹¹⁵ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was in a rage²¹⁹⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ him because of⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ thing. And Asa⁶⁰⁹ oppressed⁷⁵³³ some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ the same¹⁹³¹ time.⁶²⁵⁶

11  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Asa,⁶⁰⁹ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

12  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ in the thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and ninth⁸⁶⁷² year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign⁴⁴³⁸ was diseased²⁴⁵⁶ in his feet,⁷²⁷² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ his disease²⁴⁸³ was exceeding⁴⁶⁰⁵ great: yet¹⁵⁷¹ in his disease²⁴⁸³ he sought¹⁸⁷⁵ not^{3808 853} to the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ to the physicians.⁷⁴⁹⁵

13  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and died⁴¹⁹¹ in the one²⁵⁹ and fortieth⁷⁰⁵ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴²⁷

14  And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in his own sepulchers,⁶⁹¹³ which⁸³⁴ he had made³⁷³⁸ for himself in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² and laid⁷⁹⁰¹ him in the bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with sweet odors¹³¹⁴ and divers kinds²¹⁷⁷ of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art:^{7543 4842 4639} and they made⁸³¹³ a very^{5704 3966} great¹⁴¹⁹ burning⁸³¹⁶ for him.

2 Chronicles 17: 1-19

---

1  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead,⁸⁴⁷⁸ and strengthened himself²³⁸⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  And he placed⁵⁴¹⁴ forces²⁴²⁸ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ garrisons⁵³³³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ which⁸³⁴ Asa⁶⁰⁹ his father¹ had taken.³⁹²⁰

3  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² because³⁵⁸⁸ he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the first⁷²²³ ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of his father¹ David,¹⁷³² and sought¹⁸⁷⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto Baalim;¹¹⁶⁸

4  But³⁵⁸⁸ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ to the LORD God⁴³⁰ of his father,¹ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in his commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ and not³⁸⁰⁸ after the doings⁴⁶³⁹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Therefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ established^{3559 853} the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ brought⁵⁴¹⁴ to Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² presents;⁴⁵⁰³ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor³⁵¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

6  And his heart³⁸²⁰ was lifted up¹³⁶¹ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ moreover⁵⁷⁵⁰ he took away^{5493 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and groves⁸⁴² out of Judah.^{4480 3063}

7  Also in the third⁷⁹⁶⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign⁴⁴²⁷ he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ even to Ben-hail,¹¹³⁴ and to Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² and to Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and to Nethaneel,⁵⁴¹⁷ and to Michaiah,⁴³²² to teach³⁹²⁵ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

8  And with⁵⁹⁷³ them he sent Levites,³⁸⁸¹ even Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ and Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ and Zebadiah,²⁰⁶⁹ and Asahel,⁶²¹⁴ and Shemiramoth,⁸⁰⁷⁰ and Jehonathan,³⁰⁸³ and Adonijah,¹³⁸ and Tobijah,²⁹⁰⁰ and Tob-adonijah,²⁸⁹⁹ Levites;³⁸⁸¹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them Elishama⁴⁷⁶ and Jehoram,³⁰⁸⁸ priests.³⁵⁴⁸

9  And they taught³⁹²⁵ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and had the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ them, and went about⁵⁴³⁷ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and taught³⁹²⁵ the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

10  And the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ fell¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the lands⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were round about⁵⁴³⁹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ so that they made no war^{3898 3808} against⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoshaphat.³⁰⁹²

11  Also some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ brought⁹³⁵ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² presents,⁴⁵⁰³ and tribute⁴⁸⁵³ silver;³⁷⁰¹ and¹⁵⁷¹ the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ brought⁹³⁵ him flocks,⁶⁶²⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ rams,³⁵² and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ he goats.⁸⁴⁹⁵

12  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² waxed^{1961 1980} great¹⁴³² exceedingly;^{5704 4605} and he built¹¹²⁹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ castles,¹⁰⁰³ and cities⁵⁸⁹² of store.⁴⁵⁴³

13  And he had¹⁹⁶¹ much⁷²²⁷ business⁴³⁹⁹ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah:³⁰⁶³ and the men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor,²⁴²⁸ were in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

14  And these⁴²⁸ are the numbers⁶⁴⁸⁶ of them according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers:¹ Of Judah,³⁰⁶³ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands;⁵⁰⁵ Adnah⁵⁷³⁴ the chief,⁸²⁶⁹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

15  And next^{5921 3027} to him was Jehohanan³⁰⁷⁶ the captain,⁸²⁶⁹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

16  And next^{5921 3027} him was Amasiah⁶⁰⁰⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ who willingly offered himself⁵⁰⁶⁸ unto the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and with him⁵⁹⁷³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

17  And of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ Eliada⁴⁵⁰ a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ of valor,²⁴²⁸ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him armed men⁵⁴⁰¹ with bow⁷¹⁹⁸ and shield⁴⁰⁴³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

18  And next^{5921 3027} him was Jehozabad,³⁰⁷⁵ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ ready prepared²⁵⁰² for the war.⁶⁶³⁵

19  These⁴²⁸ waited on^{8334 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ beside^{4480 905} those whom⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ in the fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities⁵⁸⁹² throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah.³⁰⁶³

2 Chronicles 18: 1-34

1  Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² had¹⁹⁶¹ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor³⁵¹⁹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and joined affinity²⁸⁵⁹ with Ahab.²⁵⁶

2  And after⁷⁰⁹³ certain years⁸¹⁴¹ he went down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ Ahab²⁵⁶ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹ And Ahab²⁵⁶ killed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen¹²⁴¹ for him in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ he had with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and persuaded⁵⁴⁹⁶ him to go up⁵⁹²⁷ with him to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead.⁷⁴³³

3  And Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Wilt thou go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ me to Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And he answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I³⁶⁴⁴ am as thou³⁶⁴⁴ art, and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ as thy people;⁵⁹⁷¹ and we will be with⁵⁹⁷³ thee in the war.⁴⁴²¹

4  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Inquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ at ⁸⁵³ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ today.³¹¹⁷

5  Therefore the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered together^{6908 853} of prophets⁵⁰³⁰ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Shall we go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up;⁵⁹²⁷ for God⁴³⁰ will deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ hand.³⁰²⁷

6  But Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not³⁶⁹ here⁶³¹¹ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ besides,⁵⁷⁵⁰ that we might inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of him?^{4480 854}

7  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² There is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ one²⁵⁹ man,³⁷⁶ by whom^{4480 854} we may inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but I⁵⁸⁹ hate⁸¹³⁰ him; for³⁵⁸⁸ he never³⁶⁹ prophesied⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me, but³⁵⁸⁸ always^{3605 3117} evil:⁷⁴⁵¹ the same¹⁹³¹ is Micaiah⁴³²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹ And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ so.³⁶⁵¹

8  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ called⁷¹²¹ for⁴¹³ one²⁵⁹ of his officers,⁵⁶³¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Fetch quickly⁴¹¹⁶ Micaiah⁴³¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹

9  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ sat³⁴²⁷ either³⁷⁶ of them on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ in their robes,⁸⁹⁹ and they sat³⁴²⁷ in a void place¹⁶³⁷ at the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

10  And Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ him horns⁷¹⁶¹ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ With these⁴²⁸ thou shalt push^{5055 853} Syria⁷⁵⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they be consumed.³⁶¹⁵

11  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² so,³⁶⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramoth-gilead,⁷⁴³³ and prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to call⁷¹²¹ Micaiah⁴³²¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ declare good²⁸⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ with one²⁵⁹ assent;⁶³¹⁰ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ therefore, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be¹⁹⁶¹ like one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ theirs, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ thou good.²⁸⁹⁶

13  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ even^{3588 853} what⁸³⁴ my God⁴³⁰ saith,⁵⁵⁹ that will I speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

14  And when he was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Micaiah,⁴³¹⁸ shall we go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go ye up,⁵⁹²⁷ and prosper,⁶⁷⁴³ and they shall be delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into your hand.³⁰²⁷

15  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ him, How many^{5704 4100} times⁶⁴⁷¹ shall I⁵⁸⁹ adjure⁷⁶⁵⁰ thee that⁸³⁴ thou say¹⁶⁹⁶ nothing³⁸⁰⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ the truth⁵⁷¹ to⁴¹³ me in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸

16  Then he said,⁵⁵⁹ I did see^{7200 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ scattered⁶³²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the mountains,²⁰²² as sheep⁶⁶²⁹ that⁸³⁴ have no³⁶⁹ shepherd:⁷⁴⁶² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ These⁴²⁸ have no³⁸⁰⁸ master;¹¹³ let them return⁷⁷²⁵ therefore every man³⁷⁶ to his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

17  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Did I not³⁸⁰⁸ tell^{559 413} thee that he would not³⁸⁰⁸ prophesy⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me, but^{3588 518} evil?⁷⁴⁵¹

18  Again he said,⁵⁵⁹ Therefore³⁶⁵¹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I saw^{7200 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ his right hand³²²⁵ and on his left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

19  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ shall entice^{6601 853} Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ and fall⁵³⁰⁷ at Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And one²⁰⁸⁸ spoke⁵⁵⁹ saying⁵⁵⁹ after this manner,³⁶⁰² and another²⁰⁸⁸ saying⁵⁵⁹ after that manner.³⁶⁰²

20  Then there came out³³¹⁸ a spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ will entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him. And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Wherewith?⁴¹⁰⁰

21  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go out,³³¹⁸ and be¹⁹⁶¹ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of all³⁶⁰⁵ his prophets.⁵⁰³⁰ And the LORD said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him, and thou shalt also¹⁵⁷¹ prevail:³²⁰¹ go out,³³¹⁸ and do⁶²¹³ even so.³⁶⁵¹

22  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath put⁵⁴¹⁴ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of these⁴²⁸ thy prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thee.

23  Then Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ came near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and smote^{5221 853} Micaiah⁴³²¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the cheek,³⁸⁹⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Which^{335 2088} way¹⁸⁷⁰ went⁵⁶⁷⁴ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ from^{4480 854} me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ thee?

24  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ on that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ when⁸³⁴ thou shalt go⁹³⁵ into an inner chamber^{2315 2315} to hide thyself.²²⁴⁴

25  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ ye ⁸⁵³ Micaiah,⁴³²¹ and carry him back⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Amon⁵²⁶ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and to⁴¹³ Joash³¹⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son;¹¹²¹

26  And say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Put⁷⁷⁶⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ fellow in the prison,^{1004 3608} and feed³⁹⁸ him with bread³⁸⁹⁹ of affliction³⁹⁰⁶ and with water⁴³²⁵ of affliction,³⁹⁰⁶ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ I return⁷⁷²⁵ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

27  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ thou certainly return^{7725 7725} in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ then hath not³⁸⁰⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ by me. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken,⁸⁰⁸⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ ye people.⁵⁹⁷¹

28  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead.⁷⁴³³

29  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² I will disguise myself,²⁶⁶⁴ and will go⁹³⁵ to the battle;⁴⁴²¹ but put thou on^{859 3847} thy robes.⁸⁹⁹ So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ disguised himself;²⁶⁶⁴ and they went⁹³⁵ to the battle.⁴⁴²¹

30  Now the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ had commanded^{6680 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ that⁸³⁴ were with him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ small⁶⁹⁹⁶ or⁸⁵⁴ great,¹⁴¹⁹ save^{3588 518} only⁹⁰⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

31  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ saw^{7200 853} Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² that they¹⁹⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ It¹⁹³¹ is the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ Therefore they compassed⁵⁴³⁷ about⁵⁹²¹ him to fight:³⁸⁹⁸ but Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² cried out,²¹⁹⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ helped⁵⁸²⁶ him; and God⁴³⁰ moved⁵⁴⁹⁶ them to depart from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

32  For it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that, when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ perceived⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ they turned back again⁷⁷²⁵ from pursuing^{4480 310} him.

33  And a certain man³⁷⁶ drew⁴⁹⁰⁰ a bow⁷¹⁹⁸ at a venture,⁸⁵³⁷ and smote^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ the joints¹⁶⁹⁴ of the harness:⁸³⁰² therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ to his chariot man,⁷³⁹⁵ Turn²⁰¹⁵ thine hand,³⁰²⁷ that thou mayest carry me out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the host;⁴²⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am wounded.²⁴⁷⁰

34  And the battle⁴⁴²¹ increased⁵⁹²⁷ that¹⁹³¹ day:³¹¹⁷ howbeit the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stayed himself up^{1961 5975} in his chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ against⁵²²⁷ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the even:⁶¹⁵³ and about the time⁶²⁵⁶ of the sun⁸¹²¹ going down⁹³⁵ he died.⁴¹⁹¹

1  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  And Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hanani²⁶⁰⁷ the seer²³⁷⁴ went out³³¹⁸ to meet^{413 6440} him, and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Shouldest thou help⁵⁸²⁶ the ungodly,⁷⁵⁶³ and love¹⁵⁷ them that hate⁸¹³⁰ the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ therefore²⁰⁶³ is wrath⁷¹¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee from before^{4480 6440} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  Nevertheless⁶¹ there are good²⁸⁹⁶ things¹⁶⁹⁷ found⁴⁶⁷² in⁵⁹⁷³ thee, in that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taken away¹¹⁹⁷ the groves⁸⁴² out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and hast prepared³⁵⁵⁹ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ God.⁴³⁰

4  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and he went out³³¹⁸ again⁷⁷²⁵ through the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from Beer-sheba^{4480 884} to⁵⁷⁰⁴ mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and brought them back⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

5  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ judges⁸¹⁹⁹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² by city,⁵⁸⁹²

6  And said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ Take heed⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ ye⁸⁵⁹ do:⁶²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye judge⁸¹⁹⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ for man,¹²⁰ but³⁵⁸⁸ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who is with⁵⁹⁷³ you in the judgment.^{1697 4941}

7  Wherefore now⁶²⁵⁸ let the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you; take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ and do⁶²¹³ it: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ nor respect⁴⁸⁵⁶ of persons,⁶⁴⁴⁰ nor taking⁴⁷²⁷ of gifts.⁷⁸¹⁰

8  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ did Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² set⁵⁹⁷⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and of the chief^{4480 7218} of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ for the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and for controversies,⁷³⁷⁹ when they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

9  And he charged^{6680 5921} them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye do⁶²¹³ in the fear³³⁷⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ faithfully,⁵³⁰ and with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

10  And what cause soever^{3605 7379 834} shall come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ you of your brethren^{4480 251} that dwell³⁴²⁷ in their cities,⁵⁸⁹² between⁹⁹⁶ blood¹⁸¹⁸ and blood,¹⁸¹⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ law⁸⁴⁵¹ and commandment,⁴⁶⁸⁷ statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ ye shall even warn²⁰⁹⁴ them that they trespass⁸¹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and so wrath⁷¹¹⁰ come¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, and upon⁵⁹²¹ your brethren:²⁵¹ this³⁵⁴¹ do,⁶²¹³ and ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ trespass.⁸¹⁶

11  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Amariah⁵⁶⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest³⁵⁴⁸ is over⁵⁹²¹ you in all³⁶⁰⁵ matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and Zebadiah²⁰⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ishmael,³⁴⁵⁸ the ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ matters:¹⁶⁹⁷ also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall be officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you. Deal⁶²¹³ courageously,²³⁸⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the good.²⁸⁹⁶

2 Chronicles 20: 1-37

1  It came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this³⁶⁵¹ also, that the children¹¹²¹ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them other beside⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Ammonites,⁵⁹⁸⁴ came⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² to battle.⁴⁴²¹

2  Then there came⁹³⁵ some that told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ There cometh⁹³⁵ a great⁷²²⁷ multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ thee from beyond^{4480 5676} the sea³²²⁰ on this side Syria;^{4480 758} and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they be in Hazazon-tamar,²⁶⁸⁸ which¹⁹³¹ is En-gedi.⁵⁸⁷²

3  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² feared,³³⁷² and set^{5414 853} himself⁶⁴⁴⁰ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and proclaimed⁷¹²¹ a fast⁶⁶⁸⁵ throughout⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah.³⁰⁶³

4  And Judah³⁰⁶³ gathered themselves together,⁶⁹⁰⁸ to ask¹²⁴⁵ help of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ they came⁹³⁵ to seek^{1245 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the new²³¹⁹ court,²⁶⁹¹

6  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of our fathers,¹ art not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ in heaven?⁸⁰⁶⁴ and rulest⁴⁹¹⁰ not thou⁸⁵⁹ over all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the heathen?¹⁴⁷¹ and in thine hand³⁰²⁷ is there not power³⁵⁸¹ and might,¹³⁶⁹ so that none³⁶⁹ is able to withstand^{3320 5973} thee?

7  Art not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ our God,⁴³⁰ who didst drive out^{3423 853} the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ land⁷⁷⁶ before^{4480 6440} thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ it to the seed²²³³ of Abraham⁸⁵ thy friend¹⁵⁷ forever?⁵⁷⁶⁹

8  And they dwelt³⁴²⁷ therein, and have built¹¹²⁹ thee a sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ therein for thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

9  If,⁵¹⁸ when evil⁷⁴⁵¹ cometh⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, as the sword,²⁷¹⁹ judgment,⁸¹⁹⁶ or pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ or famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ we stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and in thy presence,⁶⁴⁴⁰ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ is in this²⁰⁸⁸ house,)¹⁰⁰⁴ and cry²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee in our affliction,^{4480 6869} then thou wilt hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ and help.³⁴⁶⁷

10  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab⁴¹²⁴ and mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ whom⁸³⁴ thou wouldest not³⁸⁰⁸ let⁵⁴¹⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ invade,⁹³⁵ when they came⁹³⁵ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ but³⁵⁸⁸ they turned⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5921} them, and destroyed⁸⁰⁴⁵ them not;³⁸⁰⁸

11  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I say, how they¹⁹⁹² reward^{1580 5921} us, to come⁹³⁵ to cast us out¹⁶⁴⁴ of thy possession,^{4480 3425} which⁸³⁴ thou hast given us to inherit.³⁴²³

12  O our God,⁴³⁰ wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ judge⁸¹⁹⁹ them? for³⁵⁸⁸ we have no³⁶⁹ might³⁵⁸¹ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ company¹⁹⁹⁵ that cometh⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ us; neither³⁸⁰⁸ know³⁰⁴⁵ we⁵⁸⁷ what⁴¹⁰⁰ to do:⁶²¹³ but³⁵⁸⁸ our eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon⁵⁹²¹ thee.

13  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ with¹⁵⁷¹ their little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ their wives,⁸⁰² and their children.¹¹²¹

14  Then upon⁵⁹²¹ Jahaziel³¹⁶⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Benaiah,¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeiel,³²⁷³ the son¹¹²¹ of Mattaniah,⁴⁹⁸³ a Levite³⁸⁸¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Asaph,⁶²³ came¹⁹⁶¹ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the midst⁸⁴³² of the congregation;⁶⁹⁵¹

15  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken⁷¹⁸¹ ye, all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and ye inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and thou king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto you, Be not afraid^{859 3372 408} nor⁴⁰⁸ dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ by reason of^{4480 6440} this²⁰⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ multitude;¹⁹⁹⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ the battle⁴⁴²¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ yours, but³⁵⁸⁸ God's.⁴³⁰

16  Tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ go ye down³³⁸¹ against⁵⁹²¹ them: behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they come up⁵⁹²⁷ by the cliff⁴⁶⁰⁸ of Ziz;⁶⁷³² and ye shall find⁴⁶⁷² them at the end⁵⁴⁹⁰ of the brook,⁵¹⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Jeruel.³³⁸⁵

17  Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ need to fight³⁸⁹⁸ in this²⁰⁶³ battle: set yourselves,³³²⁰ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ ye still, and see^{7200 853} the salvation³⁴⁴⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ you, O Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ fear³³⁷² not,⁴⁰⁸ nor⁴⁰⁸ be dismayed;²⁸⁶⁵ tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ go out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ them: for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will be with⁵⁹⁷³ you.

18  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² bowed his head⁶⁹¹⁵ with his face⁶³⁹ to the ground:⁷⁷⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ fell⁵³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ worshiping⁷⁸¹² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

19  And the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Kohathites,⁶⁹⁵⁶ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of the Korhites,⁷¹⁴⁵ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice⁶⁹⁶³ on high.⁴⁶⁰⁵

20  And they rose early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and went forth³³¹⁸ into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Tekoa:⁸⁶²⁰ and as they went forth,³³¹⁸ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, O Judah,³⁰⁶³ and ye inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ Believe⁵³⁹ in the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ so shall ye be established;⁵³⁹ believe⁵³⁹ his prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ so shall ye prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

21  And when he had consulted³²⁸⁹ with⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he appointed⁵⁹⁷⁵ singers⁷⁸⁹¹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and that should praise¹⁹⁸⁴ the beauty¹⁹²⁷ of holiness,⁶⁹⁴⁴ as they went out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the army,²⁵⁰² and to say,⁵⁵⁹ Praise³⁰³⁴ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

22  And when⁶²⁵⁶ they began²⁴⁹⁰ to sing⁷⁴⁴⁰ and to praise,⁸⁴¹⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ set⁵⁴¹⁴ ambushments⁶⁹³ against⁵⁹²¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ which were come⁹³⁵ against Judah;³⁰⁶³ and they were smitten.⁵⁰⁶²

23  For the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab⁴¹²⁴ stood up⁵⁹⁷⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ utterly to slay²⁷⁶³ and destroy⁸⁰⁴⁵ them: and when they had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ every one³⁷⁶ helped⁵⁸²⁶ to destroy⁴⁸⁸⁹ another.⁷⁴⁵³

24  And when Judah³⁰⁶³ came⁹³⁵ toward⁵⁹²¹ the watch tower⁴⁷⁰⁷ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ they looked⁶⁴³⁷ unto⁴¹³ the multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they were dead bodies⁶²⁹⁷ fallen⁵³⁰⁷ to the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and none³⁶⁹ escaped.⁶⁴¹³

25  And when Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to take away^{962 853} the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of them, they found⁴⁶⁷² among them in abundance⁷²³⁰ both riches⁷³⁹⁹ with the dead bodies,⁶²⁹⁷ and precious²⁵³⁰ jewels,³⁶²⁷ which they stripped off⁵³³⁷ for themselves, more than³⁶⁹ they could carry away:⁴⁸⁵³ and they were¹⁹⁶¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days³¹¹⁷ in gathering^{962 853} of the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ it¹⁹³¹ was so much.⁷²²⁷

26  And on the fourth⁷²⁴³ day³¹¹⁷ they assembled themselves⁶⁹⁵⁰ in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Berachah;¹²⁹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ they blessed^{1288 853} the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ therefore^{5921 3651 853} the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the same¹⁹³¹ place⁴⁷²⁵ was called,⁷¹²¹ The valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Berachah,¹²⁹⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this day.³¹¹⁷

27  Then they returned,⁷⁷²⁵ every³⁶⁰⁵ man³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² in the forefront⁷²¹⁸ of them, to go again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with joy;⁸⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made them to rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ over their enemies.^{4480 341}

28  And they came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

29  And the fear⁶³⁴³ of God⁴³⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ on⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of those countries,⁷⁷⁶ when they had heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ the enemies³⁴¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

30  So the realm⁴⁴³⁸ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² was quiet:⁸²⁵² for his God⁴³⁰ gave him rest⁵¹¹⁷ round about.^{4480 5439}

31  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah:³⁰⁶³ he was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Azubah⁵⁸⁰⁶ the daughter¹³²³ of Shilhi.⁷⁹⁷⁷

32  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ his father,¹ and departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it, doing⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

33  Howbeit³⁸⁹ the high places¹¹¹⁶ were not³⁸⁰⁸ taken away:⁵⁴⁹³ for as yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ had not³⁸⁰⁸ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ their hearts³⁸²⁴ unto the God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

34  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hanani,²⁶⁰⁷ who⁸³⁴ is mentioned⁵⁹²⁷ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

35  And after³¹⁰ this³⁶⁵¹ did Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ join himself²²⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ Ahaziah²⁷⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who¹⁹³¹ did very wickedly:^{7561 6213}

36  And he joined²²⁶⁶ himself with⁵⁹⁷³ him to make⁶²¹³ ships⁵⁹¹ to go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish:⁸⁶⁵⁹ and they made⁶²¹³ the ships⁵⁹¹ in Ezion-geber.⁶¹⁰⁰

37  Then Eliezer⁴⁶¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Dodavah¹⁷³⁵ of Mareshah^{4480 4762} prophesied⁵⁰¹² against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Because thou hast joined thyself²²⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath broken^{6555 853} thy works.⁴⁶³⁹ And the ships⁵⁹¹ were broken,⁷⁶⁶⁵ that they were not able^{6113 3808} to go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Tarshish.⁸⁶⁵⁹

2 Chronicles 21: 1-20

1  Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2  And he had brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Michael,⁴³¹⁷ and Shephatiah:⁸²⁰³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

3  And their father¹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them great⁷²²⁷ gifts⁴⁹⁷⁹ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of precious things,⁴⁰³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ but the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ he to Jehoram;³⁰⁸⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was the firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁰

4  Now when Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of his father,¹ he strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and slew^{2026 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ his brethren²⁵¹ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and divers also¹⁵⁷¹ of the princes^{4480 8269} of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

6  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ like as⁸³⁴ did⁶²¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ he had¹⁹⁶¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Ahab²⁵⁶ to wife:⁸⁰² and he wrought⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  Howbeit the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy^{7843 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² because of⁴⁶¹⁶ the covenant¹²⁸⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had made³⁷⁷² with David,¹⁷³² and as⁸³⁴ he promised⁵⁵⁹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ a light⁵²¹⁶ to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ forever.^{3605 3117}

8  In his days³¹¹⁷ the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the dominion³⁰²⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made^{4427 5921} themselves a king.⁴⁴²⁸

9  Then Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ went forth⁵⁶⁷⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his chariots⁷³⁹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ him: and he rose up^{1961 6965} by night,³⁹¹⁵ and smote^{5221 853} the Edomites¹²³ which compassed^{5437 413} him in, and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots.⁷³⁹³

10  So the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the hand³⁰²⁷ of Judah³⁰⁶³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ The same¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ also did Libnah³⁸⁴¹ revolt⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} his hand;³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

11  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ he¹⁹³¹ made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ in the mountains²⁰²² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and caused ⁸⁵³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to commit fornication,²¹⁸¹ and compelled^{5080 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ thereto.

12  And there came⁹³⁵ a writing⁴³⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ him from Elijah^{4480 452} the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ Because^{8478 834} thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² thy father,¹ nor in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³

13  But hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and hast made ⁸⁵³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to go a whoring,²¹⁸¹ like to the whoredoms²¹⁸¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and also¹⁵⁷¹ hast slain^{2026 853} thy brethren²⁵¹ of thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which were better²⁸⁹⁶ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ thyself:

14  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ will the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smite⁵⁰⁶² thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy children,¹¹²¹ and thy wives,⁸⁰² and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy goods:⁷³⁹⁹

15  And thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt have great⁷²²⁷ sickness²⁴⁸³ by disease⁴²⁴⁵ of thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ thy bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fall out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sickness²⁴⁸³ day³¹¹⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Moreover the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ stirred up⁵⁷⁸² against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoram^{3088 853} the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and of the Arabians,⁶¹⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were near^{5921 3027} the Ethiopians:³⁵⁶⁹

17  And they came up⁵⁹²⁷ into Judah,³⁰⁶³ and broke into¹²³⁴ it, and carried away^{7617 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the substance⁷³⁹⁹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and his sons¹¹²¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and his wives;⁸⁰² so that there was never³⁸⁰⁸ a son¹¹²¹ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ him, save^{3588 518} Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ of his sons.¹¹²¹

18  And after³¹⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵⁰⁶² him in his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ with an incurable^{369 4832} disease.²⁴⁸³

19  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in process of time,^{3117 4480 3117} after the end^{6256 3318 7093} of two⁸¹⁴⁷ years,³¹¹⁷ his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fell out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁵⁹⁷³ his sickness:²⁴⁸³ so he died⁴¹⁹¹ of sore⁷⁴⁵¹ diseases.⁸⁴⁶³ And his people⁵⁹⁷¹ made⁶²¹³ no³⁸⁰⁸ burning⁸³¹⁶ for him, like the burning⁸³¹⁶ of his fathers.¹

20  Thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years old¹¹²¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ he when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and departed¹⁹⁸⁰ without³⁸⁰⁸ being desired.²⁵³² Howbeit they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but not³⁸⁰⁸ in the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸

2 Chronicles 22: 1-12

---

1  And the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ made ⁸⁵³ Ahaziah²⁷⁴ his youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ son¹¹²¹ king⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead:⁸⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the band of men¹⁴¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ with the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ to the camp⁴²⁶⁴ had slain²⁰²⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the eldest.⁷²²³ So Ahaziah²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ reigned.⁴⁴²⁷

2  Forty⁷⁰⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was Ahaziah²⁷⁴ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Omri.⁶⁰¹⁸

3  He¹⁹³¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mother⁵¹⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ his counselor³²⁸⁹ to do wickedly.⁷⁵⁶¹

4  Wherefore he did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were¹⁹⁶¹ his counselors³²⁸⁹ after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of his father¹ to his destruction.⁴⁸⁸⁹

5  He walked¹⁹⁸⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ after their counsel,⁶⁰⁹⁸ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ at Ramoth-gilead:⁷⁴³³ and the Syrians⁷⁶¹ smote^{5221 853} Joram.³¹⁴¹

6  And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to be healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ in Jezreel³¹⁵⁷ because of³⁵⁸⁸ the wounds⁴³⁴⁷ which⁸³⁴ were given⁵²²¹ him at Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ when he fought^{3898 853} with Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria.⁷⁵⁸ And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went down³³⁸¹ to see^{7200 853} Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ at Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was sick.²⁴⁷⁰

7  And the destruction⁸³⁹⁵ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ of God^{4480 430} by coming⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Joram:³¹⁴¹ for when he was come,⁹³⁵ he went out³³¹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nimshi,⁵²⁵⁰ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ to cut off^{3772 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab.²⁵⁶

8  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that, when Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ was executing judgment⁸¹⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹⁷³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and found^{4672 853} the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the sons¹¹²¹ of the brethren²⁵¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ that ministered⁸³³⁴ to Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ he slew²⁰²⁶ them.

9  And he sought^{1245 853} Ahaziah:²⁷⁴ and they caught³⁹²⁰ him, (for he¹⁹³¹ was hid²²⁴⁴ in Samaria,)⁸¹¹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ him to⁴¹³ Jehu:³⁰⁵⁸ and when they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ him, they buried⁶⁹¹² him: Because,³⁵⁸⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ they, he¹⁹³¹ is the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² who⁸³⁴ sought^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ his heart.³⁸²⁴ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ had no³⁶⁹ power³⁵⁸¹ to keep still⁶¹¹³ the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

10  But when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ her son¹¹²¹ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and destroyed^{1696 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the seed²²³³ royal⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

11  But Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ took^{3947 853} Joash³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ and stole¹⁵⁸⁹ him from among^{4480 8432} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ that were slain,⁴¹⁹¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him and his nurse³²⁴³ in a bedchamber.^{2315 4296} So Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoram,³⁰⁸⁸ the wife⁸⁰² of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ (for³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ the sister²⁶⁹ of Ahaziah,)²⁷⁴ hid⁵⁶⁴¹ him from^{4480 6440} Athaliah,⁶²⁷¹ so that she slew⁴¹⁹¹ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

12  And he was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁸⁵⁴ them hid²²⁴⁴ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ six⁸³³⁷ years:⁸¹⁴¹ and Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ the land.⁷⁷⁶

2 Chronicles 23: 1-21

1  And in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeroham,³³⁹⁵ and Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehohanan,³⁰⁷⁶ and Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Obed,⁵⁷⁴⁴ and Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Adaiah,⁵⁷¹⁸ and Elishaphat⁴⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ into covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

2  And they went about⁵⁴³⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and gathered^{6908 853} the Levites³⁸⁸¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

3  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son¹¹²¹ shall reign,⁴⁴²⁷ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of David.¹⁷³²

4  This²⁰⁸⁸ is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ ye shall do;⁶²¹³ A third part⁷⁹⁹² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you entering⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ shall be porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ of the doors;⁵⁵⁹²

5  And a third part⁷⁹⁹² shall be at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and a third part⁷⁹⁹² at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the foundation:³²⁴⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall be in the courts²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  But let none⁴⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ save^{3588 518} the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and they that minister⁸³³⁴ of the Levites;³⁸⁸¹ they¹⁹⁹² shall go in,⁹³⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are holy:⁶⁹⁴⁴ but all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the watch⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall compass^{5362 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ every man³⁷⁶ with his weapons³⁶²⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷ and whosoever else cometh⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he shall be put to death:⁴¹⁹¹ but be¹⁹⁶¹ ye with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ when he cometh in,⁹³⁵ and when he goeth out.³³¹⁸

8  So the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ did⁶²¹³ according to all things³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ had commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ and took³⁹⁴⁷ every man^{376 853} his men³⁷⁶ that were to come in⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them that were to go³³¹⁸ out on the sabbath:⁷⁶⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ dismissed⁶³⁶² not^{3808 853} the courses.⁴²⁵⁶

9  Moreover Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds^{3967 853} spears,²⁵⁹⁵ and bucklers,⁴⁰⁴³ and shields,⁷⁹⁸² that⁸³⁴ had been king⁴⁴²⁸ David's,¹⁷³² which⁸³⁴ were in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

10  And he set^{5975 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ every man³⁷⁶ having his weapon⁷⁹⁷³ in his hand,³⁰²⁷ from the right³²³³ side^{4480 3802} of the temple¹⁰⁰⁴ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the left⁸⁰⁴² side³⁸⁰² of the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ along by the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ and the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

11  Then they brought out^{3318 853} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ him ⁸⁵³ the crown,⁵¹⁴⁵ and gave him the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ and made him king.^{4427 853} And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ and his sons¹¹²¹ anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ God save²⁴²¹ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  Now when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ heard^{8085 853} the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ running⁷³²³ and praising^{1984 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ she came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸

13  And she looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ his pillar⁵⁹⁸² at the entering in,³⁹⁹⁶ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ by⁵⁹²¹ the king:⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁶ and sounded⁸⁶²⁸ with trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ also the singers⁷⁸⁹¹ with instruments³⁶²⁷ of music,⁷⁸⁹² and such as taught³⁰⁴⁵ to sing praise.¹⁹⁸⁴ Then Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ rent^{7167 853} her clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Treason,⁷¹⁹⁵ Treason.⁷¹⁹⁵

14  Then Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ brought out^{3318 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds³⁹⁶⁷ that were set over⁶⁴⁸⁵ the host,²⁴²⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Have her forth³³¹⁸ of the ranges:^{413 4480 1004 7713} and whoso followeth^{935 310} her, let him be slain⁴¹⁹¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Slay⁴¹⁹¹ her not³⁸⁰⁸ in the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  So they laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ hands³⁰²⁷ on her; and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the entering³⁹⁹⁶ of the horse⁵⁴⁸³ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they slew⁴¹⁹¹ her there.⁸⁰³³

16  And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ him, and between⁹⁹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and between⁹⁹⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that they should be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went to⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and broke it down,⁵⁴²² and broke his altars⁴¹⁹⁶ and his images⁶⁷⁵⁴ in pieces,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and slew²⁰²⁶ Mattan⁴⁹⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altars.⁴¹⁹⁶

18  Also Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ appointed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the offices⁶⁴⁸⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ whom⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had distributed²⁵⁰⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² with rejoicing⁸⁰⁵⁷ and with singing,⁷⁸⁹² as it was ordained by^{5921 3027} David.¹⁷³²

19  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ at⁵⁹²¹ the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that none³⁸⁰⁸ which was unclean²⁹³¹ in any³⁶⁰⁵ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ should enter in.⁹³⁵

20  And he took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and the nobles,¹¹⁷ and the governors⁴⁹¹⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and brought down^{3381 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ from the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ through⁸⁴³² the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and set^{3427 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

21  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced:⁸⁰⁵⁵ and the city⁵⁸⁹² was quiet,⁸²⁵² after that they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

2 Chronicles 24: 1-27

1  Joash³¹⁰¹ was seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Zibiah⁶⁶⁴⁵ of Beer-sheba.^{4480 884}

2  And Joash³⁰⁷⁷ did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest.³⁵⁴⁸

3  And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ took⁵³⁷⁵ for him two⁸¹⁴⁷ wives;⁸⁰² and he begot³²⁰⁵ sons¹¹²¹ and daughters.¹³²³

4  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ that Joash³¹⁰¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ minded^{5973 3820} to repair^{2318 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And he gathered together^{6908 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ to them, Go out³³¹⁸ unto the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ of all^{4480 3605} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ money³⁷⁰¹ to repair^{2388 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of your God⁴³⁰ from^{4480 1767} year⁸¹⁴¹ to year,⁸¹⁴¹ and see that ye⁸⁵⁹ hasten⁴¹¹⁶ the matter.¹⁶⁹⁷ Howbeit the Levites³⁸⁸¹ hastened⁴¹¹⁶ it not.³⁸⁰⁸

6  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ called⁷¹²¹ for Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the chief,⁷²¹⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ required¹⁸⁷⁵ of⁵⁹²¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to bring in⁹³⁵ out of Judah^{4480 3063} and out of Jerusalem^{4480 3389 853} the collection,⁴⁸⁶⁴ according to the commandment of Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and of the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ for the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness?⁵⁷¹⁵

7  For³⁵⁸⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Athaliah,⁶²⁷¹ that wicked woman,⁴⁸⁴⁹ had broken up^{6555 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God;⁴³⁰ and also¹⁵⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the dedicated things⁶⁹⁴⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ did they bestow⁶²¹³ upon Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

8  And at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ commandment⁵⁵⁹ they made⁶²¹³ a²⁵⁹ chest,⁷²⁷ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ it without²³⁵¹ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  And they made⁵⁴¹⁴ a proclamation⁶⁹⁶³ through Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to bring in⁹³⁵ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the collection⁴⁸⁶⁴ that Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of God⁴³⁰ laid upon⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

10  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁵ and brought in,⁹³⁵ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ into the chest,⁷²⁷ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they had made an end.³⁶¹⁵

11  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that at what time^{6256 853} the chest⁷²⁷ was brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ office⁶⁴⁸⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ there was much⁷²²⁷ money,³⁷⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ and the high⁷²¹⁸ priest's³⁵⁴⁸ officer⁶⁴⁹⁶ came⁹³⁵ and emptied^{6168 853} the chest,⁷²⁷ and took⁵³⁷⁵ it, and carried⁷⁷²⁵ it to⁴¹³ his place⁴⁷²⁵ again. Thus³⁵⁴¹ they did⁶²¹³ day³¹¹⁷ by day,³¹¹⁷ and gathered⁶²² money³⁷⁰¹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

12  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ and Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it to⁴¹³ such as did⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hired^{1961 7936} masons²⁶⁷² and carpenters²⁷⁹⁶ to repair²³¹⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and also¹⁵⁷¹ such as wrought²⁷⁹⁶ iron¹²⁷⁰ and brass⁵¹⁷⁸ to mend^{2388 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  So the workmen^{6213 4399} wrought,⁶²¹³ and the work⁴³⁹⁹ was perfected^{5927 724} by³⁰²⁷ them, and they set^{5975 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ in⁵⁹²¹ his state,⁴⁹⁷¹ and strengthened⁵⁵³ it.

14  And when they had finished³⁶¹⁵ it, they brought^{935 853} the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the money³⁷⁰¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and Jehoiada,³⁰⁷⁷ whereof were made⁶²¹³ vessels³⁶²⁷ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ even vessels³⁶²⁷ to minister,⁸³³⁵ and to offer⁵⁹²⁷ withal, and spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver.³⁷⁰¹ And they offered^{1961 5927} burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of Jehoiada.³⁰⁷⁷

15  But Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ waxed old,²²⁰⁴ and was full⁷⁶⁴⁶ of days³¹¹⁷ when he died;⁴¹⁹¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was he when he died.⁴¹⁹⁴

16  And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² among⁵⁹⁷³ the kings,⁴⁴²⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had done⁶²¹³ good²⁸⁹⁶ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ both toward⁵⁹⁷³ God,⁴³⁰ and toward his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

17  Now after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ came⁹³⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made obeisance⁷⁸¹² to the king.⁴⁴²⁸ Then²²⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ them.

18  And they left^{5800 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and served^{5647 853} groves⁸⁴² and idols:⁶⁰⁹¹ and wrath⁷¹¹⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ for this²⁰⁶³ their trespass.⁸¹⁹

19  Yet he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ to them, to bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and they testified⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them: but they would not³⁸⁰⁸ give ear.²³⁸

20  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came upon^{3847 853} Zechariah²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ which stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ above^{4480 5921} the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ God,⁴³⁰ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ transgress⁵⁶⁷⁴ ye^{859 853} the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that ye cannot³⁸⁰⁸ prosper?⁶⁷⁴³ because³⁵⁸⁸ ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he hath also forsaken^{5800 853} you.

21  And they conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him, and stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones⁶⁸ at the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  Thus Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ remembered²¹⁴² not³⁸⁰⁸ the kindness²⁶¹⁷ which⁸³⁴ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ his father¹ had done⁶²¹³ to⁵⁹⁷³ him, but slew^{2026 853} his son.¹¹²¹ And when he died,⁴¹⁹¹ he said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ look upon⁷²⁰⁰ it, and require¹⁸⁷⁵ it.

23  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end⁸⁶²² of the year,⁸¹⁴¹ that the host²⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ him: and they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and destroyed^{7843 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from among the people,^{4480 5971} and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of them unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Damascus.¹⁸³⁴

24  For³⁵⁸⁸ the army²⁴²⁸ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ came⁹³⁵ with a small company⁴⁷⁰⁵ of men,³⁷⁶ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²³⁰ host²⁴²⁸ into their hand,³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ they had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹ So they executed⁶²¹³ judgment⁸²⁰¹ against⁸⁵⁴ Joash.³¹⁰¹

25  And when they were departed¹⁹⁸⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, (for³⁵⁸⁸ they left⁵⁸⁰⁰ him in great⁷²²⁷ diseases,)⁴²⁵¹ his own servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him for the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and slew²⁰²⁶ him on⁵⁹²¹ his bed,⁴²⁹⁶ and he died:⁴¹⁹¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but they buried⁶⁹¹² him not³⁸⁰⁸ in the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸

26  And these⁴²⁸ are they that conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him; Zabad²⁰⁶⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shimeath⁸¹⁰⁰ an Ammonitess,⁵⁹⁸⁴ and Jehozabad³⁰⁷⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Shimrith⁸¹¹⁶ a Moabitess.⁴¹²⁵

27  Now concerning his sons,¹¹²¹ and the greatness⁷²³⁰ of the burdens⁴⁸⁵³ laid upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and the repairing³²⁴⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸ And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 25: 1-28

---

1  Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and nine⁸⁶⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Jehoaddan³⁰⁸⁶ of Jerusalem.^{4480 3389}

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

3  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was established²³⁸⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ him, that he slew^{2026 853} his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had killed^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ his father.¹

4  But he slew⁴¹⁹¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their children,¹¹²¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ did as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² where⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The fathers¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the children,¹¹²¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall the children¹¹²¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the fathers,¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ every man³⁷⁶ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ for his own sin.²³⁹⁹

5  Moreover Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ gathered Judah together,^{6908 853 3063} and made⁵⁹⁷⁵ them captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ according to the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ and he numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ them from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old^{4480 1121} and above,⁴⁶⁰⁵ and found⁴⁶⁷² them three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ choice⁹⁷⁷ men, able to go forth³³¹⁸ to war,⁶⁶³⁵ that could handle²⁷⁰ spear⁷⁴²⁰ and shield.⁶⁷⁹³

6  He hired⁷⁹³⁶ also a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ out of Israel^{4480 3478} for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver.³⁷⁰¹

7  But there came⁹³⁵ a man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ O king,⁴⁴²⁸ let not⁴⁰⁸ the army⁶⁶³⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ go⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee; for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is not³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to wit, with all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

8  But³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ wilt go,⁹³⁵ do⁶²¹³ it, be strong²³⁸⁸ for the battle:⁴⁴²¹ God⁴³⁰ shall make thee fall³⁷⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy:³⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath³⁴²⁶ power³⁵⁸¹ to help,⁵⁸²⁶ and to cast down.³⁷⁸²

9  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ But what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we do⁶²¹³ for the hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ which⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ to the army¹⁴¹⁶ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ And the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ answered,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is³⁴²⁶ able to give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee much more⁷²³⁵ than this.^{4480 2088}

10  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ separated⁹¹⁴ them, to wit, the army¹⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ him out of Ephraim,^{4480 669} to go¹⁹⁸⁰ home⁴⁷²⁵ again: wherefore their anger⁶³⁹ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ kindled²⁷³⁴ against Judah,³⁰⁶³ and they returned⁷⁷²⁵ home⁴⁷²⁵ in great²⁷⁵⁰ anger.⁶³⁹

11  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and led forth^{5090 853} his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt,⁴⁴¹⁷ and smote^{5221 853} of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ ten⁶²³⁵ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

12  And other ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ left alive²⁴¹⁶ did the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ carry away captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and brought⁹³⁵ them unto the top⁷²¹⁸ of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and cast them down⁷⁹⁹³ from the top^{4480 7218} of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ that they all³⁶⁰⁵ were broken in pieces.¹²³⁴

13  But the soldiers¹¹²¹ of the army¹⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ sent back,⁷⁷²⁵ that they should not go^{4480 1980} with⁵⁹⁷³ him to battle,⁴⁴²¹ fell upon⁶⁵⁸⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ from Samaria^{4480 8111} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beth-horon,¹⁰³² and smote⁵²²¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and took⁹⁶² much⁷²²⁷ spoil.⁹⁶¹

14  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after that³¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was come⁹³⁵ from the slaughter^{4480 5221 853} of the Edomites,¹³⁰ that he brought^{935 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ and set them up⁵⁹⁷⁵ to be his gods,⁴³⁰ and bowed down himself⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto them.

15  Wherefore the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Amaziah,⁵⁵⁸ and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ him a prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ which said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver^{5337 853} their own people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of thine hand?^{4480 3027}

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ him, that the king said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou made⁵⁴¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ counsel?³²⁸⁹ forbear;²³⁰⁸ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou be smitten?⁵²²¹ Then the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ forbore,²³⁰⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath determined³²⁸⁹ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee, because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast done⁶²¹³ this,²⁰⁶³ and hast not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my counsel.⁶⁰⁹⁸

17  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ took advice,³²⁸⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehu,³⁰⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ let us see one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

18  And Joash³¹⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The thistle²³³⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ the cedar⁷³⁰ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give^{5414 853} thy daughter¹³²³ to my son¹¹²¹ to wife:⁸⁰² and there passed by⁵⁶⁷⁴ a wild⁷⁷⁰⁴ beast²⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and trod down^{7429 853} the thistle.²³³⁶

19  Thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou hast smitten^{5221 853} the Edomites;¹²³ and thine heart³⁸²⁰ lifteth thee up⁵³⁷⁵ to boast:³⁵¹³ abide³⁴²⁷ now⁶²⁵⁸ at home;¹⁰⁰⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou meddle¹⁶²⁴ to thine hurt,⁷⁴⁵¹ that thou shouldest fall,⁵³⁰⁷ even thou,⁸⁵⁹ and Judah³⁰⁶³ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee?

20  But Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ came of God,^{4480 430} that⁴⁶¹⁶ he might deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies, because³⁵⁸⁸ they sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of Edom.¹²³

21  So Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went up;⁵⁹²⁷ and they saw one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ both he¹⁹³¹ and Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ which⁸³⁴ belongeth to Judah.³⁰⁶³

22  And Judah³⁰⁶³ was put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they fled⁵¹²⁷ every man³⁷⁶ to his tent.¹⁶⁸

23  And Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took⁸⁶¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ and brought⁹³⁵ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and broke down⁶⁵⁵⁵ the wall²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ from the gate^{4480 8179} of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the corner⁶⁴³⁸ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ cubits.⁵²⁰

24  And he took all³⁶⁰⁵ the gold²⁰⁹¹ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that were found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ Obed-edom,⁵⁶⁵⁴ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,^{1004 853} the hostages^{1121 8594} also, and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

25  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash³¹⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ lived²⁴²¹ after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Joash³¹⁰¹ son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fifteen^{2568 6240} years.⁸¹⁴¹

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Amaziah,⁵⁵⁸ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ are they not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

27  Now after the time^{4480 6256} that⁸³⁴ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ did turn away⁵⁴⁹³ from following^{4480 310} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ they made⁷¹⁹⁴ a conspiracy⁷¹⁹⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ him in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ and he fled⁵¹²⁷ to Lachish:³⁹²³ but they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Lachish³⁹²³ after³¹⁰ him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him there.⁸⁰³³

28  And they brought⁵³⁷⁵ him upon⁵⁹²¹ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and buried⁶⁹¹² him with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

2 Chronicles 26: 1-23

1  Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ took^{3947 853} Uzziah,⁵⁸¹⁸ who¹⁹³¹ was sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ and made him king^{4427 853} in the room of⁸⁴⁷⁸ his father¹ Amaziah.⁵⁵⁸

2  He¹⁹³¹ built^{1129 853} Eloth,³⁵⁹ and restored⁷⁷²⁵ it to Judah,³⁰⁶³ after that³¹⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers.¹

3  Sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ fifty²⁵⁷² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Jecoliah³²⁰³ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

4  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his father¹ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ did.⁶²¹³

5  And he sought^{1961 1875} God⁴³⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ who had understanding⁹⁹⁵ in the visions⁷²⁰⁰ of God:⁴³⁰ and as long as³¹¹⁷ he sought^{1875 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ made him to prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

6  And he went forth³³¹⁸ and warred³⁸⁹⁸ against the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and broke down^{6555 853} the wall²³⁴⁶ of Gath,¹⁶⁶¹ and the wall²³⁴⁶ of Jabneh,²⁹⁹⁶ and the wall²³⁴⁶ of Ashdod,⁷⁹⁵ and built¹¹²⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² about Ashdod,⁷⁹⁵ and among the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

7  And God⁴³⁰ helped⁵⁸²⁶ him against⁵⁹²¹ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and against⁵⁹²¹ the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Gur-baal,¹⁴⁸⁵ and the Mehunims.⁴⁵⁸⁶

8  And the Ammonites⁵⁹⁸⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ gifts⁴⁵⁰³ to Uzziah:⁵⁸¹⁸ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ spread abroad¹⁹⁸⁰ even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the entering in⁹³⁵ of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ he strengthened²³⁸⁸ himself exceedingly.^{5704 4605}

9  Moreover Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ built¹¹²⁹ towers⁴⁰²⁶ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ at⁵⁹²¹ the corner⁶⁴³⁸ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and at⁵⁹²¹ the valley¹⁵¹⁶ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and at⁵⁹²¹ the turning⁴⁷⁴⁰ of the wall, and fortified²³⁸⁸ them.

10  Also he built¹¹²⁹ towers⁴⁰²⁶ in the desert,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and digged²⁶⁷² many⁷²²⁷ wells:⁹⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ he had¹⁹⁶¹ much⁷²²⁷ cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ both in the low country,⁸²¹⁹ and in the plains:⁴³³⁴ husbandmen⁴⁰⁶ also, and vinedressers³⁷⁵⁵ in the mountains,²⁰²² and in Carmel:³⁷⁶⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ he loved^{1961 157} husbandry.¹²⁷

11  Moreover Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ had¹⁹⁶¹ a host²⁴²⁸ of fighting men,^{6213 4421} that went out³³¹⁸ to war⁶⁶³⁵ by bands,¹⁴¹⁶ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of their account⁶⁴⁸⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Jeiel³²⁷³ the scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ and Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the ruler,⁷⁸⁶⁰ under⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of Hananiah,²⁶⁰⁸ one of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ captains.^{4480 8269}

12  The whole³⁶⁰⁵ number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers¹ of the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ were two thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

13  And under⁵⁹²¹ their hand³⁰²⁷ was an army,^{2428 6635} three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ that made⁶²¹³ war⁴⁴²¹ with mighty²⁴²⁸ power,³⁵⁸¹ to help⁵⁸²⁶ the king⁴⁴²⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ the enemy.³⁴¹

14  And Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for them throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ shields,⁴⁰⁴³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ and helmets,³⁵⁵³ and habergeons,⁸³⁰² and bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ and slings⁷⁰⁵⁰ to cast stones.⁶⁸

15  And he made⁶²¹³ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ engines,²⁸¹⁰ invented⁴²⁸⁴ by cunning men,²⁸⁰³ to be¹⁹⁶¹ on⁵⁹²¹ the towers⁴⁰²⁶ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the bulwarks,⁶⁴³⁸ to shoot³³⁸⁴ arrows²⁶⁷¹ and great¹⁴¹⁹ stones⁶⁸ withal. And his name⁸⁰³⁴ spread³³¹⁸ far abroad;^{5704 4480 7350} for³⁵⁸⁸ he was marvelously⁶³⁸¹ helped,⁵⁸²⁶ till^{5704 3588} he was strong.²³⁸⁸

16  But when he was strong,²³⁹⁴ his heart³⁸²⁰ was lifted up¹³⁶¹ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ his destruction:⁷⁸⁴³ for he transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and went⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of incense.⁷⁰⁰⁴

17  And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ went in⁹³⁵ after³¹⁰ him, and with⁵⁹⁷³ him fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that were valiant men:^{1121 2428}

18  And they withstood^{5975 5921} Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, It appertaineth not³⁸⁰⁸ unto thee, Uzziah,⁵⁸¹⁸ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ to the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ that are consecrated⁶⁹⁴² to burn incense:⁶⁹⁹⁹ go out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sanctuary;⁴⁷²⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast trespassed;⁴⁶⁰³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall it be for thine honor³⁵¹⁹ from the LORD^{4480 3068} God.⁴³⁰

19  Then Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ was wroth,²¹⁹⁶ and had a censer⁴⁷³⁰ in his hand³⁰²⁷ to burn incense:⁶⁹⁹⁹ and while he was wroth²¹⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ the leprosy⁶⁸⁸³ even rose up²²²⁴ in his forehead⁴⁶⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ from beside^{4480 5921} the incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ altar.⁴¹⁹⁶

20  And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ looked⁶⁴³⁷ upon⁴¹³ him, and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he¹⁹³¹ was leprous⁶⁸⁷⁹ in his forehead,⁴⁶⁹⁶ and they thrust him out⁹²⁶ from thence;^{4480 8033} yea, himself¹⁹³¹ hasted¹⁷⁶⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ to go out,³³¹⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had smitten⁵⁰⁶⁰ him.

21  And Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ a leper⁶⁸⁷⁹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the day³¹¹⁷ of his death,⁴¹⁹⁴ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ in a several²⁶⁶⁹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ being a leper;⁶⁸⁷⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was cut off¹⁵⁰⁴ from the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Jotham³¹⁴⁷ his son¹¹²¹ was over⁵⁹²¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ judging^{8199 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

22  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Uzziah,⁵⁸¹⁸ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ did Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Amoz,⁵³¹ write.³⁷⁸⁹

23  So Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ of the burial⁶⁹⁰⁰ which⁸³⁴ belonged to the kings;⁴⁴²⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ they said,⁵⁵⁹ He¹⁹³¹ is a leper:⁶⁸⁷⁹ and Jotham³¹⁴⁷ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 27: 1-9

1  Jotham³¹⁴⁷ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Jerushah,³³⁸⁸ the daughter¹³²³ of Zadok.⁶⁶⁵⁹

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his father¹ Uzziah⁵⁸¹⁸ did:⁶²¹³ howbeit⁷⁵³⁵ he entered⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ into⁴¹³ the temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did yet corruptly.^{7843 5750}

3  He¹⁹³¹ built^{1129 853} the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and on the wall²³⁴⁶ of Ophel⁶⁰⁷⁷ he built¹¹²⁹ much.⁷²³⁰

4  Moreover he built¹¹²⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² in the mountains²⁰²² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and in the forests²⁷⁹³ he built¹¹²⁹ castles¹⁰⁰³ and towers.⁴⁰²⁶

5  He¹⁹³¹ fought³⁸⁹⁸ also with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Ammonites,^{1121 5983} and prevailed²³⁸⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ them. And the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him the same¹⁹³¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of barley.⁸¹⁸⁴ So much²⁰⁶³ did the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ pay⁷⁷²⁵ unto him, both the second⁸¹⁴⁵ year,⁸¹⁴¹ and the third.⁷⁹⁹²

6  So Jotham³¹⁴⁷ became mighty,²³⁸⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he prepared³⁵⁵⁹ his ways¹⁸⁷⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God.⁴³⁰

7  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jotham,³¹⁴⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his wars,⁴⁴²¹ and his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

8  He was¹⁹⁶¹ five²⁵⁶⁸ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

9  And Jotham³¹⁴⁷ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Ahaz²⁷¹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

---

2 Chronicles 28: 1-27

---

1  Ahaz²⁷¹ was twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ sixteen^{8337 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ but he did⁶²¹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ like David¹⁷³² his father:¹

2  For he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and made⁶²¹³ also¹⁵⁷¹ molten images⁴⁵⁴¹ for Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

3  Moreover he¹⁹³¹ burnt incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ and burnt^{1197 853} his children¹¹²¹ in the fire,⁷⁸⁴ after the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of the heathen¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had cast out³⁴²³ before^{4480 6440} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

4  He sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ also and burnt incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and on⁵⁹²¹ the hills,¹³⁸⁹ and under⁸⁴⁷⁸ every³⁶⁰⁵ green⁷⁴⁸⁸ tree.⁶⁰⁸⁶

5  Wherefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ him into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria;⁷⁵⁸ and they smote⁵²²¹ him, and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ a great¹⁴¹⁹ multitude of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them captives,⁷⁶³³ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Damascus.¹⁸³⁴ And he was also¹⁵⁷¹ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who smote⁵²²¹ him with a great¹⁴¹⁹ slaughter.⁴³⁴⁷

6  For Pekah⁶⁴⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Remaliah⁷⁴²⁵ slew²⁰²⁶ in Judah³⁰⁶³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ in one²⁵⁹ day,³¹¹⁷ which were all³⁶⁰⁵ valiant men;^{1121 2428} because they had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

7  And Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ slew^{2026 853} Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ and Azrikam⁵⁸⁴⁰ the governor⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and Elkanah⁵¹¹ that was next⁴⁹³² to the king.⁴⁴²⁸

8  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ carried away captive⁷⁶¹⁷ of their brethren^{4480 251} two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ women,⁸⁰² sons,¹¹²¹ and daughters,¹³²³ and took also away^{962 1571} much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and brought^{935 853} the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

9  But a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ there,⁸⁰³³ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Oded:⁵⁷⁵² and he went out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the host⁶⁶³⁵ that came⁹³⁵ to Samaria,⁸¹¹¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers¹ was wroth²⁵³⁴ with⁵⁹²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ he hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into your hand,³⁰²⁷ and ye have slain²⁰²⁶ them in a rage²¹⁹⁷ that reacheth up⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

10  And now⁶²⁵⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ purpose⁵⁵⁹ to keep under³⁵³³ the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ for bondmen⁵⁶⁵⁰ and bondwomen⁸¹⁹⁸ unto you: but are there not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ you, even⁷⁵³⁵ with you,⁸⁵⁹ sins⁸¹⁹ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God?⁴³⁰

11  Now⁶²⁵⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me therefore, and deliver⁷⁷²⁵ the captives⁷⁶³³ again, which⁸³⁴ ye have taken captive⁷⁶¹⁷ of your brethren:^{4480 251} for³⁵⁸⁸ the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ wrath⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is upon⁵⁹²¹ you.

12  Then certain³⁷⁶ of the heads^{4480 7218} of the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Johanan,³⁰⁷⁶ Berechiah¹²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Meshillemoth,⁴⁹¹⁹ and Jehizkiah³¹⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Shallum,⁷⁹⁶⁷ and Amasa⁶⁰²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hadlai,²³¹¹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ them that came⁹³⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the war,⁶⁶³⁵

13  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ bring in^{935 853} the captives⁷⁶³³ hither:²⁰⁰⁸ for whereas³⁵⁸⁸ we have offended against^{819 5921} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ already, ye⁸⁵⁹ intend⁵⁵⁹ to add³²⁵⁴ more to⁵⁹²¹ our sins²⁴⁰³ and to⁵⁹²¹ our trespass:⁸¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ our trespass⁸¹⁹ is great,⁷²²⁷ and there is fierce²⁷⁴⁰ wrath⁶³⁹ against⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  So the armed men²⁵⁰² left^{5800 853} the captives⁷⁶³³ and the spoil⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

15  And the men³⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ were expressed⁵³⁴⁴ by name⁸⁰³⁴ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and took²³⁸⁸ the captives,⁷⁶³³ and with⁴⁴⁸⁰ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ that were naked⁴⁶³⁶ among them, and arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ them, and shod⁵²⁷⁴ them, and gave them to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink,⁸²⁴⁸ and anointed⁵⁴⁸⁰ them, and carried⁵⁰⁹⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ the feeble³⁷⁸² of them upon asses,²⁵⁴³ and brought⁹³⁵ them to Jericho,³⁴⁰⁵ the city of palm trees,⁵⁸⁹⁹ to⁶⁸¹ their brethren:²⁵¹ then they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

16  At that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ did king⁴⁴²⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁵⁹²¹ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ to help⁵⁸²⁶ him.

17  For again⁵⁷⁵⁰ the Edomites¹³⁰ had come⁹³⁵ and smitten⁵²²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ captives.⁷⁶²⁸

18  The Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ also had invaded⁶⁵⁸⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the low country,⁸²¹⁹ and of the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and had taken^{3920 853} Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ and Ajalon,³⁵⁷ and Gederoth,¹⁴⁵⁰ and Shocho⁷⁷⁵⁵ with the villages¹³²³ thereof, and Timnah⁸⁵⁵³ with the villages¹³²³ thereof, Gimzo¹⁵⁷⁹ also and the villages¹³²³ thereof: and they dwelt³⁴²⁷ there.⁸⁰³³

19  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ brought^{3665 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ low because of⁵⁶⁶⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he made Judah naked,^{6544 3063} and transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ sore⁴⁶⁰⁴ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

20  And Tiglath-pileser⁸⁴⁰⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ came⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ him, and distressed⁶⁶⁹⁶ him, but strengthened²³⁸⁸ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ took away a portion²⁵⁰⁵ out of ⁸⁵³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and out of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and of the princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria:⁸⁰⁴ but he helped⁵⁸³³ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

22  And in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of his distress⁶⁸⁸⁷ did he trespass⁴⁶⁰³ yet more³²⁵⁴ against the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ this¹⁹³¹ is that king⁴⁴²⁸ Ahaz.²⁷¹

23  For he sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ unto the gods⁴³⁰ of Damascus,¹⁸³⁴ which smote⁵²²¹ him: and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ the gods⁴³⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ help⁵⁸²⁶ them, therefore will I sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ to them, that they may help⁵⁸²⁶ me. But they¹⁹⁹² were¹⁹⁶¹ the ruin³⁷⁸² of him, and of all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

24  And Ahaz²⁷¹ gathered together^{622 853} the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and cut in pieces^{7112 853} the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and shut up^{5462 853} the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and he made⁶²¹³ him altars⁴¹⁹⁶ in every³⁶⁰⁵ corner⁶⁴³⁸ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

25  And in every³⁶⁰⁵ several city^{5892 5892} of Judah³⁰⁶³ he made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and provoked to anger^{3707 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of his acts¹⁶⁹⁷ and of all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

27  And Ahaz²⁷¹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city,⁵⁸⁹² even in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ but³⁵⁸⁸ they brought⁹³⁵ him not³⁸⁰⁸ into the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 29: 1-36

---

1  Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ when he was five²⁵⁶⁸ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ nine⁸⁶⁷² and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Abijah,²⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Zechariah.²¹⁴⁸

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² his father¹ had done.⁶²¹³

3  He¹⁹³¹ in the first⁷²²³ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign,⁴⁴²⁷ in the first⁷²²³ month,²³²⁰ opened^{6605 853} the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and repaired²³⁸⁸ them.

4  And he brought in^{935 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and gathered them together⁶²² into the east⁴²¹⁷ street,⁷³³⁹

5  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, ye Levites,³⁸⁸¹ sanctify now yourselves,^{6942 6258} and sanctify^{6942 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers,¹ and carry forth^{3318 853} the filthiness⁵⁰⁷⁹ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place.

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ our fathers¹ have trespassed,⁴⁶⁰³ and done⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ and have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him, and have turned away⁵⁴³⁷ their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ from the habitation^{4480 4908} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and turned⁵⁴¹⁴ their backs.⁶²⁰³

7  Also¹⁵⁷¹ they have shut up⁵⁴⁶² the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the porch,¹⁹⁷ and put out^{3518 853} the lamps,⁵²¹⁶ and have not³⁸⁰⁸ burned⁶⁹⁹⁹ incense⁷⁰⁰⁴ nor³⁸⁰⁸ offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ in the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place unto the God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

8  Wherefore the wrath⁷¹¹⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and he hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them to trouble,²¹⁸⁹ to astonishment,⁸⁰⁴⁷ and to hissing,⁸³²² as⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ see⁷²⁰⁰ with your eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

9  For, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ our fathers¹ have fallen⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and our sons¹¹²¹ and our daughters¹³²³ and our wives⁸⁰² are in captivity⁷⁶²⁸ for⁵⁹²¹ this.²⁰⁶³

10  Now⁶²⁵⁸ it is in⁵⁹⁷³ mine heart³⁸²⁴ to make³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that his fierce²⁷⁴⁰ wrath⁶³⁹ may turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ us.

11  My sons,¹¹²¹ be not⁴⁰⁸ now⁶²⁵⁸ negligent:⁷⁹⁵² for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath chosen⁹⁷⁷ you to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, to serve⁸³³⁴ him, and that ye should minister^{1961 8334} unto him, and burn incense.⁶⁹⁹⁹

12  Then the Levites³⁸⁸¹ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ Mahath⁴²⁸⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Amasai,⁶⁰²² and Joel³¹⁰⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of the Kohathites:⁶⁹⁵⁶ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari,⁴⁸⁴⁷ Kish⁷⁰²⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Abdi,⁵⁶⁶⁰ and Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehalelel:³⁰⁹⁴ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Gershonites;¹⁶⁴⁹ Joah³⁰⁹⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Zimmah,²¹⁵⁵ and Eden⁵⁷³¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Joah:³⁰⁹⁸

13  And of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Elizaphan;⁴⁶⁹ Shimri,⁸¹¹³ and Jeiel:³²⁷³ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Asaph;⁶²³ Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and Mattaniah:⁴⁹⁸³

14  And of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Heman;¹⁹⁶⁸ Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Shimei:⁸⁰⁹⁶ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jeduthun;³⁰³⁸ Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ and Uzziel.⁵⁸¹⁶

15  And they gathered^{622 853} their brethren,²⁵¹ and sanctified themselves,⁶⁹⁴² and came,⁹³⁵ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ by the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to cleanse²⁸⁹¹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ went⁹³⁵ into the inner part⁶⁴⁴¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to cleanse²⁸⁹¹ it, and brought out^{3318 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the uncleanness²⁹³² that⁸³⁴ they found⁴⁶⁷² in the temple¹⁹⁶⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ into the court²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ took⁶⁹⁰¹ it, to carry it out³³¹⁸ abroad²³⁵¹ into the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

17  Now they began²⁴⁹⁰ on the first²⁵⁹ day of the first⁷²²³ month²³²⁰ to sanctify,⁶⁹⁴² and on the eighth⁸⁰⁸³ day³¹¹⁷ of the month²³²⁰ came⁹³⁵ they to the porch¹⁹⁷ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ so they sanctified^{6942 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in eight⁸⁰⁸³ days;³¹¹⁷ and in the sixteenth^{8337 6240} day³¹¹⁷ of the first⁷²²³ month²³²⁰ they made an end.³⁶¹⁵

18  Then they went⁹³⁵ in⁶⁴⁴¹ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ We have cleansed^{2891 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ thereof, and the shewbread⁴⁶³⁵ table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ with ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ thereof.

19  Moreover all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels,³⁶²⁷ which⁸³⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ Ahaz²⁷¹ in his reign⁴⁴³⁸ did cast away²¹⁸⁶ in his transgression,⁴⁶⁰⁴ have we prepared³⁵⁵⁹ and sanctified,⁶⁹⁴² and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

20  Then Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ rose early,⁷⁹²⁵ and gathered^{622 853} the rulers⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and went up⁵⁹²⁷ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

21  And they brought⁹³⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ bullocks,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams,³⁵² and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ lambs,³⁵³² and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ he goats,^{6842 5795} for a sin offering²⁴⁰³ for⁵⁹²¹ the kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ and for⁵⁹²¹ the sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ and for⁵⁹²¹ Judah.³⁰⁶³ And he commanded⁵⁵⁹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ them on⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  So they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the bullocks,¹²⁴¹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ received^{6901 853} the blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and sprinkled²²³⁶ it on the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶ likewise, when they had killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the rams,³⁵² they sprinkled²²³⁶ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ upon the altar:⁴¹⁹⁶ they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ also the lambs,³⁵³² and they sprinkled²²³⁶ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ upon the altar.⁴¹⁹⁶

23  And they brought forth^{5066 853} the he goats⁸¹⁶³ for the sin offering²⁴⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and the congregation;⁶⁹⁵¹ and they laid⁵⁵⁶⁴ their hands³⁰²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them:

24  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ killed⁷⁸¹⁹ them, and they made reconciliation²³⁹⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ their blood¹⁸¹⁸ upon the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ to make an atonement³⁷²² for⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded⁵⁵⁹ that the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and the sin offering²⁴⁰³ should be made for all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

25  And he set^{5975 853} the Levites³⁸⁸¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with cymbals,⁴⁷⁰⁰ with psalteries,⁵⁰³⁵ and with harps,³⁶⁵⁸ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ seer,²³⁷⁴ and Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet:⁵⁰³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ so was the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by³⁰²⁷ his prophets.⁵⁰³⁰

26  And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ with the instruments³⁶²⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ with the trumpets.²⁶⁸⁹

27  And Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ commanded⁵⁵⁹ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ upon the altar.⁴¹⁹⁶ And when⁶²⁵⁶ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ began,²⁴⁹⁰ the song⁷⁸⁹² of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ began²⁴⁹⁰ also with the trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ and with⁵⁹²¹ the instruments^{3027 3627} ordained by David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

28  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ worshiped,⁷⁸¹² and the singers⁷⁸⁹² sang,⁷⁸⁹¹ and the trumpeters²⁶⁸⁹ sounded:²⁶⁹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ this continued until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ was finished.³⁶¹⁵

29  And when they had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of offering,⁵⁹²⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that were present⁴⁶⁷² with⁸⁵⁴ him bowed³⁷⁶⁶ themselves, and worshiped.⁷⁸¹²

30  Moreover Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ commanded⁵⁵⁹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to sing praise¹⁹⁸⁴ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and of Asaph⁶²³ the seer.²³⁷⁴ And they sang praises¹⁹⁸⁴ with⁵⁷⁰⁴ gladness,⁸⁰⁵⁷ and they bowed their heads⁶⁹¹⁵ and worshiped.⁷⁸¹²

31  Then Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Now⁶²⁵⁸ ye have consecrated^{4390 3027} yourselves unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ come near⁵⁰⁶⁶ and bring⁹³⁵ sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ and thank offerings⁸⁴²⁶ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ brought in⁹³⁵ sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ and thank offerings;⁸⁴²⁶ and as many as³⁶⁰⁵ were of a free⁵⁰⁸¹ heart³⁸²⁰ burnt offerings.⁵⁹³⁰

32  And the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ which⁸³⁴ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ brought,⁹³⁵ was¹⁹⁶¹ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ bullocks,¹²⁴¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ rams,³⁵² and two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ lambs:³⁵³² all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were for a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

33  And the consecrated things⁶⁹⁴⁴ were six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen¹²⁴¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

34  But⁷⁵³⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ were¹⁹⁶¹ too few,⁴⁵⁹² so that they could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ flay^{6584 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the burnt offerings:⁵⁹³⁰ wherefore their brethren²⁵¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ did help²³⁸⁸ them, till⁵⁷⁰⁴ the work⁴³⁹⁹ was ended,³⁶¹⁵ and until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the other priests³⁵⁴⁸ had sanctified themselves:⁶⁹⁴² for³⁵⁸⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were more upright³⁴⁷⁷ in heart³⁸²⁴ to sanctify themselves⁶⁹⁴² than the priests.^{4480 3548}

35  And also¹⁵⁷¹ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ were in abundance,⁷²³⁰ with the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² and the drink offerings⁵²⁶² for every burnt offering.⁵⁹³⁰ So the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was set in order.³⁵⁵⁹

36  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁵ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁵⁹²¹ God⁴³⁰ had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ done suddenly.⁶⁵⁹⁷

2 Chronicles 30: 1-27

---

1  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and wrote³⁷⁸⁹ letters¹⁰⁷ also¹⁵⁷¹ to⁵⁹²¹ Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ that they should come⁹³⁵ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  For the king⁴⁴²⁸ had taken counsel,³²⁸⁹ and his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month.²³²⁰

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ they could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ keep⁶²¹³ it at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ had not³⁸⁰⁸ sanctified themselves⁶⁹⁴² sufficiently,⁴⁰⁷⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ had the people⁵⁹⁷¹ gathered themselves together⁶²² to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

4  And the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ pleased^{3474 5869} the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

5  So they established⁵⁹⁷⁵ a decree¹⁶⁹⁷ to make proclamation^{5674 6963} throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from Beer-sheba^{4480 884} even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Dan,¹⁸³⁵ that they should come⁹³⁵ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they had not³⁸⁰⁸ done⁶²¹³ it of a long⁷²³⁰ time in such sort as it was written.³⁷⁸⁹

6  So the posts⁷³²³ went¹⁹⁸⁰ with the letters¹⁰⁷ from^{4480 3027} the king⁴⁴²⁸ and his princes⁸²⁶⁹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he will return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ the remnant⁷⁶⁰⁴ of you, that are escaped⁶⁴¹³ out of the hand^{4480 3709} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

7  And be¹⁹⁶¹ not⁴⁰⁸ ye like your fathers,¹ and like your brethren,²⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ trespassed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ who therefore gave them up⁵⁴¹⁴ to desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ as⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ see.⁷²⁰⁰

8  Now⁶²⁵⁸ be ye not stiffnecked,^{408 7185 6203} as your fathers¹ were, but yield^{5414 3027} yourselves unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and enter⁹³⁵ into his sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ which⁸³⁴ he hath sanctified⁶⁹⁴² forever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and serve^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ that the fierceness²⁷⁴⁰ of his wrath⁶³⁹ may turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you.

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ if ye turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ your brethren²⁵¹ and your children¹¹²¹ shall find compassion⁷³⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them that lead them captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ so that they shall come again⁷⁷²⁵ into this²⁰⁶³ land:⁷⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ is gracious²⁵⁸⁷ and merciful,⁷³⁴⁹ and will not³⁸⁰⁸ turn away⁵⁴⁹³ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you, if⁵¹⁸ ye return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ him.

10  So the posts⁷³²³ passed^{1961 5674} from city^{4480 5892} to city⁵⁸⁹² through the country⁷⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Zebulun:²⁰⁷⁴ but they laughed them to scorn,^{1961 7832 5921} and mocked³⁹³² them.

11  Nevertheless³⁸⁹ divers³⁷⁶ of Asher^{4480 836} and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ and of Zebulun^{4480 2074} humbled themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ and came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

12  Also¹⁵⁷¹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ the hand³⁰²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them one²⁵⁹ heart³⁸²⁰ to do⁶²¹³ the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ and of the princes,⁸²⁶⁹ by the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And there assembled⁶²² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ to keep^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²³⁰ congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

14  And they arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and took away^{5493 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the altars for incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ took they away,⁵⁴⁹³ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ them into the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

15  Then they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth^{702 6240} day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month:²³²⁰ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were ashamed,³⁶³⁷ and sanctified themselves,⁶⁹⁴² and brought in⁹³⁵ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  And they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ their place⁵⁹⁷⁷ after their manner,⁴⁹⁴¹ according to the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² the man³⁷⁶ of God:⁴³⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sprinkled^{2236 853} the blood,¹⁸¹⁸ which they received of the hand^{4480 3027} of the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ there were many⁷²²⁷ in the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ were not³⁸⁰⁸ sanctified:⁶⁹⁴² therefore the Levites³⁸⁸¹ had the charge of⁵⁹²¹ the killing⁷⁸²¹ of the passovers⁶⁴⁵³ for every one³⁶⁰⁵ that was not³⁸⁰⁸ clean,²⁸⁸⁹ to sanctify⁶⁹⁴² them unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ a multitude⁴⁷⁶⁸ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even many⁷²²⁷ of Ephraim,^{4480 669} and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ and Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ had not³⁸⁰⁸ cleansed themselves,²⁸⁹¹ yet³⁵⁸⁸ did they eat^{398 853} the passover⁶⁴⁵³ otherwise³⁸⁰⁸ than it was written.³⁷⁸⁹ But³⁵⁸⁸ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ for⁵⁹²¹ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The good²⁸⁹⁶ LORD³⁰⁶⁸ pardon³⁷²² every one¹¹⁵⁷

19  That prepareth³⁵⁵⁹ his heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ God,⁴³⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers,¹ though he be not³⁸⁰⁸ cleansed according to the purification²⁸⁹³ of the sanctuary.⁶⁹⁴⁴

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah,³¹⁶⁹ and healed^{7495 853} the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

21  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ kept^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with great¹⁴¹⁹ gladness:⁸⁰⁵⁷ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ praised¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ day³¹¹⁷ by day,³¹¹⁷ singing with loud⁵⁷⁹⁷ instruments³⁶²⁷ unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ comfortably^{5921 3820} unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that taught⁷⁹¹⁹ the good²⁸⁹⁶ knowledge⁷⁹²² of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they did eat³⁹⁸ throughout⁸⁵⁴ the feast⁴¹⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ offering²⁰⁷⁶ peace⁸⁰⁰² offerings,²⁰⁷⁷ and making confession³⁰³⁴ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

23  And the whole³⁶⁰⁵ assembly⁶⁹⁵¹ took counsel³²⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ other³¹² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ and they kept⁶²¹³ other seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with gladness.⁸⁰⁵⁷

24  For³⁵⁸⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ did give⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep;⁶⁶²⁹ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ gave⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ and a great number⁷²³⁰ of priests³⁵⁴⁸ sanctified themselves.⁶⁹⁴²

25  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ with the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that came⁹³⁵ out of Israel,^{4480 3478} and the strangers¹⁶¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ out of the land^{4480 776} of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ rejoiced.⁸⁰⁵⁵

26  So there was¹⁹⁶¹ great¹⁴¹⁹ joy⁸⁰⁵⁷ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ since the time^{4480 3117} of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ there was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like²⁰⁶³ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

27  Then the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and blessed^{1288 853} the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and their voice⁶⁹⁶³ was heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ and their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ came⁹³⁵ up to his holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ dwelling place,⁴⁵⁸³ even unto heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

2 Chronicles 31: 1-21

1  Now when all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ was finished,³⁶¹⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² went out³³¹⁸ to the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and broke the images in pieces,^{7665 4676} and cut down¹⁴³⁸ the groves,⁸⁴² and threw down^{5422 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ out of all^{4480 3605} Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ in Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ also and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they had utterly destroyed³⁶¹⁵ them all. Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ returned,⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his possession,²⁷² into their own cities.⁵⁸⁹²

2  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ appointed^{5975 853} the courses⁴²⁵⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ after⁵⁹²¹ their courses,⁴²⁵⁶ every man³⁷⁶ according to⁶³¹⁰ his service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and Levites³⁸⁸¹ for burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and for peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² to minister,⁸³³⁴ and to give thanks,³⁰³⁴ and to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ in the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the tents⁴²⁶⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  He appointed also the king's⁴⁴²⁸ portion⁴⁵²¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ his substance⁷³⁹⁹ for the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ to wit, for the morning¹²⁴² and evening⁶¹⁵³ burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ for the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and for the new moons,²³²⁰ and for the set feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

4  Moreover he commanded⁵⁵⁹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ the portion⁴⁵²¹ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they might be encouraged²³⁸⁸ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And as soon as the commandment¹⁶⁹⁷ came abroad,⁶⁵⁵⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ brought in abundance⁷²³⁵ the firstfruits⁷²²⁵ of corn,¹⁷¹⁵ wine,⁸⁴⁹² and oil,³³²³ and honey,¹⁷⁰⁶ and of all³⁶⁰⁵ the increase⁸³⁹³ of the field;⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the tithe⁴⁶⁴³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ things brought they in⁹³⁵ abundantly.⁷²³⁰

6  And concerning the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ they¹⁹⁹² also¹⁵⁷¹ brought in⁹³⁵ the tithe⁴⁶⁴³ of oxen¹²⁴¹ and sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and the tithe⁴⁶⁴³ of holy things⁶⁹⁴⁴ which were consecrated⁶⁹⁴² unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ and laid⁵⁴¹⁴ them by heaps.^{6194 6194}

7  In the third⁷⁹⁹² month²³²⁰ they began²⁴⁹⁰ to lay the foundation³²⁴⁵ of the heaps,⁶¹⁹⁴ and finished³⁶¹⁵ them in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month.²³²⁰

8  And when Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ came⁹³⁵ and saw^{7200 853} the heaps,⁶¹⁹⁴ they blessed^{1288 853} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

9  Then Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ questioned¹⁸⁷⁵ with⁵⁹²¹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the heaps.⁶¹⁹⁴

10  And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest³⁵⁴⁸ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Zadok⁶⁶⁵⁹ answered^{559 413} him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Since the people began^{4480 2490} to bring⁹³⁵ the offerings⁸⁶⁴¹ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ we have had enough⁷⁶⁴⁶ to eat,³⁹⁸ and have left^{3498 5704} plenty:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath blessed^{1288 853} his people;⁵⁹⁷¹ and that which is left³⁴⁹⁸ is ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ great store.¹⁹⁹⁵

11  Then Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ commanded⁵⁵⁹ to prepare³⁵⁵⁹ chambers³⁹⁵⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and they prepared³⁵⁵⁹ them,

12  And brought in^{935 853} the offerings⁸⁶⁴¹ and the tithes⁴⁶⁴³ and the dedicated⁶⁹⁴⁴ things faithfully:⁵³⁰ over⁵⁹²¹ which Cononiah³⁵⁶² the Levite³⁸⁷⁸ was ruler,⁵⁰⁵⁷ and Shimei⁸⁰⁹⁶ his brother²⁵¹ was the next.⁴⁹³²

13  And Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Azaziah,⁵⁸¹² and Nahath,⁵¹⁸⁴ and Asahel,⁶²¹⁴ and Jerimoth,³⁴⁰⁶ and Jozabad,³¹⁰⁷ and Eliel,⁴⁴⁷ and Ismachiah,³²⁵³ and Mahath,⁴²⁸⁷ and Benaiah,¹¹⁴¹ were overseers⁶⁴⁹⁶ under the hand^{4480 3027} of Cononiah³⁵⁶² and Shimei⁸⁰⁹⁶ his brother,²⁵¹ at the commandment⁴⁶⁶² of Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

14  And Kore⁶⁹⁸¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imnah³²³² the Levite,³⁷⁷⁸ the porter⁷⁷⁷⁸ toward the east,⁴²¹⁷ was over⁵⁹²¹ the freewill offerings⁵⁰⁷¹ of God,⁴³⁰ to distribute⁵⁴¹⁴ the oblations⁸⁶⁴¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the most holy things.^{6944 6944}

15  And next^{5921 3027} him were Eden,⁵⁷³¹ and Miniamin,⁴⁵⁰⁹ and Jeshua,³⁴⁴² and Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ Amariah,⁵⁶⁸ and Shecaniah,⁷⁹³⁵ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ in their set office,⁵³⁰ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ to their brethren²⁵¹ by courses,⁴²⁵⁶ as well to the great¹⁴¹⁹ as to the small:⁶⁹⁹⁶

16  Beside^{4480 905} their genealogy³¹⁸⁷ of males,²¹⁴⁵ from three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ old^{4480 1121} and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ even unto every one³⁶⁰⁵ that entereth⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ his daily^{3117 3117} portion¹⁶⁹⁷ for their service⁵⁶⁵⁶ in their charges⁴⁹³¹ according to their courses;⁴²⁵⁶

17  Both to⁸⁵⁴ the genealogy³¹⁸⁷ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old^{4480 1121} and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ in their charges⁴⁹³¹ by their courses;⁴²⁵⁶

18  And to the genealogy³¹⁸⁷ of all³⁶⁰⁵ their little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ their wives,⁸⁰² and their sons,¹¹²¹ and their daughters,¹³²³ through all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation:⁶⁹⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ in their set office⁵³⁰ they sanctified themselves⁶⁹⁴² in holiness:⁶⁹⁴⁴

19  Also of the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ which were in the fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ of the suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ of their cities,⁵⁸⁹² in every³⁶⁰⁵ several city,^{5892 5892} the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were expressed⁵³⁴⁴ by name,⁸⁰³⁴ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ portions⁴⁴⁹⁰ to all³⁶⁰⁵ the males²¹⁴⁵ among the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and to all³⁶⁰⁵ that were reckoned by genealogies³¹⁸⁷ among the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

20  And thus²⁰⁶³ did⁶²¹³ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and wrought⁶²¹³ that which was good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ and truth⁵⁷¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God.⁴³⁰

21  And in every³⁶⁰⁵ work⁴⁶³⁹ that⁸³⁴ he began²⁴⁹⁰ in the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and in the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ and in the commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ his God,⁴³⁰ he did⁶²¹³ it with all³⁶⁰⁵ his heart,³⁸²⁴ and prospered.⁶⁷⁴³

2 Chronicles 32: 1-33

1  After³¹⁰ these⁴²⁸ things,¹⁶⁹⁷ and the establishment⁵⁷¹ thereof, Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ came,⁹³⁵ and entered⁹³⁵ into Judah,³⁰⁶³ and encamped²⁵⁸³ against⁵⁹²¹ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and thought⁵⁵⁹ to win¹²³⁴ them for⁴¹³ himself.

2  And when Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ was come,⁹³⁵ and that he was purposed⁶⁴⁴⁰ to fight⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹

3  He took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his princes⁸²⁶⁹ and his mighty men¹³⁶⁸ to stop^{5640 853} the waters⁴³²⁵ of the fountains⁵⁸⁶⁹ which⁸³⁴ were without^{4480 2351} the city:⁵⁸⁹² and they did help⁵⁸²⁶ him.

4  So there was gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ together, who stopped^{5640 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the fountains,⁴⁵⁹⁹ and the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ that ran⁷⁸⁵⁷ through the midst⁸⁴³² of the land,⁷⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ should the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ come,⁹³⁵ and find⁴⁶⁷² much⁷²²⁷ water?⁴³²⁵

5  Also he strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and built up^{1129 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the wall²³⁴⁶ that was broken,⁶⁵⁵⁵ and raised it up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ the towers,⁴⁰²⁶ and another³¹² wall²³⁴⁶ without,²³⁵¹ and repaired^{2388 853} Millo⁴⁴⁰⁷ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² and made⁶²¹³ darts⁷⁹⁷³ and shields⁴⁰⁴³ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

6  And he set⁵⁴¹⁴ captains⁸²⁶⁹ of war⁴⁴²¹ over⁵⁹²¹ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and gathered them together⁶⁹⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ him in⁴¹³ the street⁷³³⁹ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ comfortably^{5921 3824} to them, saying,⁵⁵⁹

7  Be strong²³⁸⁸ and courageous,⁵⁵³ be not afraid^{3372 408} nor⁴⁰⁸ dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ for^{4480 6440} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ nor for^{4480 6440} all³⁶⁰⁵ the multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ that⁸³⁴ is with⁵⁹⁷³ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ there be more⁷²²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ us than with^{4480 5973} him:

8  With⁵⁹⁷³ him is an arm²²²⁰ of flesh;¹³²⁰ but with⁵⁹⁷³ us is the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ to help⁵⁸²⁶ us, and to fight³⁸⁹⁸ our battles.⁴⁴²¹ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ rested themselves⁵⁵⁶⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

9  After³¹⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ did Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ send⁷⁹⁷¹ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ (but he¹⁹³¹ himself laid siege against⁵⁹²¹ Lachish,³⁹²³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his power⁴⁴⁷⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him,) unto⁵⁹²¹ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and unto⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹

10  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ Whereon^{5921 4100} do ye⁸⁵⁹ trust,⁹⁸² that ye abide³⁴²⁷ in the siege⁴⁶⁹² in Jerusalem?³³⁸⁹

11  Doth not³⁸⁰⁸ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ persuade⁵⁴⁹⁶ you to give over⁵⁴¹⁴ yourselves to die⁴¹⁹¹ by famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by thirst,⁶⁷⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ shall deliver⁵³³⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3709} of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria?⁸⁰⁴

12  Hath not³⁸⁰⁸ the same¹⁹³¹ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ taken away^{5493 853} his high places¹¹¹⁶ and his altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall worship⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ one²⁵⁹ altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹²¹ it?

13  Know³⁰⁴⁵ ye not³⁸⁰⁸ what⁴¹⁰⁰ I⁵⁸⁹ and my fathers¹ have done⁶²¹³ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of other lands?⁷⁷⁶ were the gods⁴³⁰ of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ of those lands⁷⁷⁶ any ways able^{3201 3201} to deliver^{5337 853} their lands⁷⁷⁶ out of mine hand?^{4480 3027}

14  Who⁴³¹⁰ was there among all³⁶⁰⁵ the gods⁴³⁰ of those⁴²⁸ nations¹⁴⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ my fathers¹ utterly destroyed,²⁷⁶³ that⁸³⁴ could³²⁰¹ deliver^{5337 853} his people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of mine hand,^{4480 3027} that³⁵⁸⁸ your God⁴³⁰ should be able³²⁰¹ to deliver⁵³³⁷ you out of mine hand?^{4480 3027}

15  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore let not⁴⁰⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ deceive⁵³⁷⁷ you, nor⁴⁰⁸ persuade⁵⁴⁹⁶ you on this manner,²⁰⁶³ neither⁴⁰⁸ yet believe⁵³⁹ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ no^{3808 3605} god⁴³³ of any³⁶⁰⁵ nation¹⁴⁷¹ or kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was able³²⁰¹ to deliver⁵³³⁷ his people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of mine hand,^{4480 3027} and out of the hand^{4480 3027} of my fathers:¹ how much less^{637 3588} shall your God⁴³⁰ deliver⁵³³⁷ you out of mine hand?^{4480 3027}

16  And his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ more against⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ and against⁵⁹²¹ his servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ Hezekiah.³¹⁶⁹

17  He wrote³⁷⁸⁹ also letters⁵⁶¹² to rail²⁷⁷⁸ on the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and to speak⁵⁵⁹ against⁵⁹²¹ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ As the gods⁴³⁰ of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ of other lands⁷⁷⁶ have not³⁸⁰⁸ delivered⁵³³⁷ their people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of mine hand,^{4480 3027} so³⁶⁵¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ deliver⁵³³⁷ his people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of mine hand.^{4480 3027}

18  Then they cried⁷¹²¹ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice⁶⁹⁶³ in the Jews' speech³⁰⁶⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ that⁸³⁴ were on⁵⁹²¹ the wall,²³⁴⁶ to frighten³³⁷² them, and to trouble⁹²⁶ them; that⁴⁶¹⁶ they might take^{3920 853} the city.⁵⁸⁹²

19  And they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ against⁴¹³ the God⁴³⁰ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ as against⁵⁹²¹ the gods⁴³⁰ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ which were the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the hands³⁰²⁷ of man.¹²⁰

20  And for⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ cause Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Amoz,⁵³¹ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ and cried²¹⁹⁹ to heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

21  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ an angel,⁴³⁹⁷ which cut off³⁵⁸² all³⁶⁰⁵ the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor,²⁴²⁸ and the leaders⁵⁰⁵⁷ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ in the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴ So he returned⁷⁷²⁵ with shame¹³²² of face⁶⁴⁴⁰ to his own land.⁷⁷⁶ And when he was come into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of his god,⁴³⁰ they that came forth^{4480 3329} of his own bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ slew⁵³⁰⁷ him there⁸⁰³³ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

22  Thus the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saved^{3467 853} Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ from the hand^{4480 3027} of Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ and from the hand^{4480 3027} of all³⁶⁰⁵ other, and guided⁵⁰⁹⁵ them on every side.^{4480 5439}

23  And many⁷²²⁷ brought⁹³⁵ gifts⁴⁵⁰³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and presents⁴⁰³⁰ to Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah:³⁰⁶³ so that he was magnified⁵³⁷⁵ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ nations¹⁴⁷¹ from thenceforth.^{4480 310 3651}

24  In those¹⁹⁹² days³¹¹⁷ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ was sick²⁴⁷⁰ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the death,⁴¹⁹¹ and prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and he spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto him, and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him a sign.⁴¹⁵⁹

25  But Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ rendered not again^{7725 3808} according to the benefit¹⁵⁷⁶ done unto⁵⁹²¹ him; for³⁵⁸⁸ his heart³⁸²⁰ was lifted up:¹³⁶¹ therefore there was¹⁹⁶¹ wrath⁷¹¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and upon⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

26  Notwithstanding Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ humbled himself³⁶⁶⁵ for the pride¹³⁶³ of his heart,³⁸²⁰ both he¹⁹³¹ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ so that the wrath⁷¹¹⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ them in the days³¹¹⁷ of Hezekiah.³¹⁶⁹

27  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ had¹⁹⁶¹ exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor:³⁵¹⁹ and he made⁶²¹³ himself treasuries²¹⁴ for silver,³⁷⁰¹ and for gold,²⁰⁹¹ and for precious³³⁶⁸ stones,⁶⁸ and for spices,¹³¹⁴ and for shields,⁴⁰⁴³ and for all manner³⁶⁰⁵ of pleasant²⁵³² jewels;³⁶²⁷

28  Storehouses⁴⁵⁴³ also for the increase⁸³⁹³ of corn,¹⁷¹⁵ and wine,⁸⁴⁹² and oil;³³²³ and stalls⁷²³ for all manner³⁶⁰⁵ of beasts,^{929 929} and cotes²²⁰ for flocks.⁵⁷³⁹

29  Moreover he provided⁶²¹³ him cities,⁵⁸⁹² and possessions⁴⁷³⁵ of flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and herds¹²⁴¹ in abundance:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ had given⁵⁴¹⁴ him substance⁷³⁹⁹ very³⁹⁶⁶ much.⁷²²⁷

30  This same¹⁹³¹ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ also stopped^{5640 853} the upper⁵⁹⁴⁵ watercourse^{4161 4325} of Gihon,¹⁵²¹ and brought it straight³⁴⁷⁴ down⁴²⁹⁵ to the west side⁴⁶²⁸ of the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ prospered⁶⁷⁴³ in all³⁶⁰⁵ his works.⁴⁶³⁹

31  Howbeit³⁶⁵¹ in the business of the ambassadors³⁸⁸⁷ of the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ who sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁵⁹²¹ him to inquire of¹⁸⁷⁵ the wonder⁴¹⁵⁹ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ done in the land,⁷⁷⁶ God⁴³⁰ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ him, to try⁵²⁵⁴ him, that he might know³⁰⁴⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ that was in his heart.³⁸²⁴

32  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Hezekiah,³¹⁶⁹ and his goodness,²⁶¹⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the vision²³⁷⁷ of Isaiah³⁴⁷⁰ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Amoz,⁵³¹ and in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

33  And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the chiefest⁴⁶⁰⁸ of the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the sons¹¹²¹ of David:¹⁷³² and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ did⁶²¹³ him honor³⁵¹⁹ at his death.⁴¹⁹⁴ And Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 33: 1-25

1  Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ was twelve^{8147 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ fifty²⁵⁷² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹

2  But did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ like unto the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had cast out³⁴²³ before^{4480 6440} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

3  For he built¹¹²⁹ again^{7725 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ his father¹ had broken down,⁵⁴²² and he reared up⁶⁹⁶⁵ altars⁴¹⁹⁶ for Baalim,¹¹⁶⁸ and made⁶²¹³ groves,⁸⁴² and worshiped⁷⁸¹² all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them.

4  Also he built¹¹²⁹ altars⁴¹⁹⁶ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ whereof⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had said,⁵⁵⁹ In Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ shall my name⁸⁰³⁴ be¹⁹⁶¹ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

5  And he built¹¹²⁹ altars⁴¹⁹⁶ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ in the two⁸¹⁴⁷ courts²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  And he¹⁹³¹ caused ⁸⁵³ his children¹¹²¹ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ through the fire⁷⁸⁴ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the son¹¹²¹ of Hinnom:²⁰¹¹ also he observed times,⁶⁰⁴⁹ and used enchantments,⁵¹⁷² and used witchcraft,³⁷⁸⁴ and dealt with⁶²¹³ a familiar spirit,¹⁷⁸ and with wizards:³⁰⁴⁹ he wrought⁶²¹³ much⁷²³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to provoke him to anger.³⁷⁰⁷

7  And he set^{7760 853} a carved image,⁶⁴⁵⁹ the idol⁵⁵⁶⁶ which⁸³⁴ he had made,⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ of which⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ had said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² and to⁴¹³ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his son,¹¹²¹ In this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ which⁸³⁴ I have chosen⁹⁷⁷ before all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ will I put^{7760 853} my name⁸⁰³⁴ forever:⁵⁸⁶⁵

8  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I any more³²⁵⁴ remove^{5493 853} the foot⁷²⁷² of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from out of^{4480 5921} the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have appointed⁵⁹⁷⁵ for your fathers;¹ so that^{7535 518} they will take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ to do^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them, according to the whole³⁶⁰⁵ law⁸⁴⁵¹ and the statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and the ordinances⁴⁹⁴¹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

9  So Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ made ⁸⁵³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to err,⁸⁵⁸² and to do⁶²¹³ worse⁷⁴⁵¹ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had destroyed⁸⁰⁴⁵ before^{4480 6440} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

10  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and to⁴¹³ his people:⁵⁹⁷¹ but they would not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken.⁷¹⁸¹

11  Wherefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ brought⁹³⁵ upon^{5921 853} them the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the host of⁶⁶³⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ took^{3920 853} Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ among the thorns,²³³⁶ and bound⁶³¹ him with fetters,⁵¹⁷⁸ and carried¹⁹⁸⁰ him to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

12  And when he was in affliction,⁶⁸⁸⁷ he besought^{2470 853} the LORD^{6440 3068} his God,⁴³⁰ and humbled himself³⁶⁶⁵ greatly³⁹⁶⁶ before^{4480 6440} the God⁴³⁰ of his fathers,¹

13  And prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ him: and he was entreated⁶²⁷⁹ of him, and heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and brought him again⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ into his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸ Then Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was God.⁴³⁰

14  Now after³¹⁰ this³⁶⁵¹ he built¹¹²⁹ a wall²³⁴⁶ without²⁴³⁵ the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² on the west side⁴⁶²⁸ of Gihon,¹⁵²¹ in the valley,⁵¹⁵⁸ even to the entering in⁹³⁵ at the fish¹⁷⁰⁹ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ and compassed about⁵⁴³⁷ Ophel,⁶⁰⁷⁷ and raised it up a very great height,^{1361 3966} and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ captains⁸²⁶⁹ of war²⁴²⁸ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

15  And he took away^{5493 853} the strange⁵²³⁶ gods,⁴³⁰ and the idol⁵⁵⁶⁶ out of the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ he had built¹¹²⁹ in the mount²⁰²² of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ them out of²³⁵¹ the city.⁵⁸⁹²

16  And he repaired^{1129 853} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ thereon⁵⁹²¹ peace⁸⁰⁰² offerings²⁰⁷⁷ and thank offerings,⁸⁴²⁶ and commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to serve^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

17  Nevertheless⁶¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ still⁵⁷⁵⁰ in the high places,¹¹¹⁶ yet unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God⁴³⁰ only.⁷⁵³⁵

18  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts of¹⁶⁹⁷ Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and his prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ unto⁴¹³ his God,⁴³⁰ and the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the seers²³⁷⁴ that spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ him in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written in⁵⁹²¹ the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

19  His prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ also, and how God was entreated⁶²⁷⁹ of him, and all³⁶⁰⁵ his sin,²⁴⁰³ and his trespass,⁴⁶⁰⁴ and the places⁴⁷²⁵ wherein⁸³⁴ he built¹¹²⁹ high places,¹¹¹⁶ and set up⁵⁹⁷⁵ groves⁸⁴² and graven images,⁶⁴⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ he was humbled:³⁶⁶⁵ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ among⁵⁹²¹ the sayings¹⁶⁹⁷ of the seers.²³³⁵

20  So Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in his own house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and Amon⁵²⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

21  Amon⁵²⁶ was two⁸¹⁴⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

22  But he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as⁸³⁴ did⁶²¹³ Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ his father:¹ for Amon⁵²⁶ sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the carved images⁶⁴⁵⁶ which⁸³⁴ Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ his father¹ had made,⁶²¹³ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them;

23  And humbled not himself^{3808 3665} before^{4480 6440} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ his father¹ had humbled himself;³⁶⁶⁵ but³⁵⁸⁸ Amon⁵²⁶ trespassed⁸¹⁹ more and more.⁷²³⁵

24  And his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ him in his own house.¹⁰⁰⁴

25  But the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ slew^{5221 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ them that had conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ Amon;⁵²⁶ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ made Josiah his son king^{4427 853 2977 1121} in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 34: 1-33

1  Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ was eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ one²⁵⁹ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of David¹⁷³² his father,¹ and declined⁵⁴⁹³ neither to the right hand,³²²⁵ nor to the left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

3  For in the eighth⁸⁰⁸³ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign,⁴⁴²⁷ while he¹⁹³¹ was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ young,⁵²⁸⁸ he began²⁴⁹⁰ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ after the God⁴³⁰ of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and in the twelfth^{8147 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ he began²⁴⁹⁰ to purge^{2891 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and the groves,⁸⁴² and the carved images,⁶⁴⁵⁶ and the molten images.⁴⁵⁴¹

4  And they broke down^{5422 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ of Baalim¹¹⁶⁸ in his presence;⁶⁴⁴⁰ and the images,²⁵⁵³ that⁸³⁴ were on high⁴⁶⁰⁵ above^{4480 5921} them, he cut down;¹⁴³⁸ and the groves,⁸⁴² and the carved images,⁶⁴⁵⁶ and the molten images,⁴⁵⁴¹ he broke in pieces,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and made dust¹⁸⁵⁴ of them, and strewed²²³⁶ it upon^{5921 6440} the graves⁶⁹¹³ of them that had sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ unto them.

5  And he burnt⁸³¹³ the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ their altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and cleansed^{2891 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

6  And so did he in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and Simeon,⁸⁰⁹⁵ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Naphtali,⁵³²¹ with their mattocks²⁷¹⁹ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

7  And when he had broken down^{5422 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ and the groves,⁸⁴² and had beaten³⁸⁰⁷ the graven images⁶⁴⁵⁶ into powder,¹⁸⁵⁴ and cut down¹⁴³⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the idols²⁵⁵³ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

8  Now in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign,⁴⁴²⁷ when he had purged²⁸⁹¹ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he sent^{7971 853} Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Azaliah,⁶⁸³ and Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and Joah³⁰⁹⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Joahaz³⁰⁹⁹ the recorder,²¹⁴² to repair^{2388 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God.⁴³⁰

9  And when they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ they delivered^{5414 853} the money³⁷⁰¹ that was brought into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the doors⁵⁵⁹² had gathered⁶²² of the hand^{4480 3027} of Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ and Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and of all^{4480 3605} the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and of all^{4480 3605} Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ and they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

10  And they put⁵⁴¹⁴ it in⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the workmen^{6213 4399} that had the oversight⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and they gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it to the workmen^{6213 4399} that⁸³⁴ wrought⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to repair⁹¹⁸ and amend²³⁸⁸ the house:¹⁰⁰⁴

11  Even to the artificers²⁷⁹⁶ and builders¹¹²⁹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ they it, to buy⁷⁰⁶⁹ hewn⁴²⁷⁴ stone,⁶⁸ and timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ for couplings,⁴²²⁶ and to floor^{7136 853} the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ had destroyed.⁷⁸⁴³

12  And the men³⁷⁶ did⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ faithfully:⁵³⁰ and the overseers⁵³²⁹ of⁵⁹²¹ them were Jahath³¹⁸⁹ and Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Merari;⁴⁸⁴⁷ and Zechariah²¹⁴⁸ and Meshullam,⁴⁹¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of the Kohathites,⁶⁹⁵⁶ to set it forward;⁶⁴⁸⁵ and other of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ that could skill⁹⁹⁵ of instruments³⁶²⁷ of music.⁷⁸⁹²

13  Also they were over⁵⁹²¹ the bearers of burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and were overseers⁵³²⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ that wrought⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ in any manner of service:^{5656 5656} and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ there were scribes,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and officers,⁷⁸⁶⁰ and porters.⁷⁷⁷⁸

14  And when they brought out^{3318 853} the money³⁷⁰¹ that was brought into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ found^{4672 853} a book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ given by³⁰²⁷ Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

15  And Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ delivered^{5414 853} the book⁵⁶¹² to⁴¹³ Shaphan.⁸²²⁷

16  And Shaphan⁸²²⁷ carried^{935 853} the book⁵⁶¹² to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and brought^{7725 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ back again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ All³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ was committed⁵⁴¹⁴ to thy servants,^{3027 5650} they¹⁹⁹² do⁶²¹³ it.

17  And they have gathered together^{5413 853} the money³⁷⁰¹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and have delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ it into⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the overseers,⁶⁴⁸⁵ and to⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the workmen.^{6213 4399}

18  Then Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ me a book.⁵⁶¹² And Shaphan⁸²²⁷ read⁷¹²¹ it before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

19  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the king⁴⁴²⁸ had heard^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ that he rent^{7167 853} his clothes.⁸⁹⁹

20  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded^{6680 853} Hilkiah,²⁵¹⁸ and Ahikam²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ and Abdon⁵⁶⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Micah,⁴³¹⁸ and Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and Asaiah⁶²²² a servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the king's,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

21  Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ inquire of^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for¹¹⁵⁷ me, and for¹¹⁵⁷ them that are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and in Judah,³⁰⁶³ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² that⁸³⁴ is found:⁴⁶⁷² for³⁵⁸⁸ great¹⁴¹⁹ is the wrath²⁵³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ is poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon us, because^{5921 834} our fathers¹ have not³⁸⁰⁸ kept^{8104 853} the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to do⁶²¹³ after all³⁶⁰⁵ that is written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ book.⁵⁶¹²

22  And Hilkiah,²⁵¹⁸ and they that⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ had appointed, went¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Huldah²⁴⁶⁸ the prophetess,⁵⁰³¹ the wife⁸⁰² of Shallum⁷⁹⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Tikvath,⁸⁶¹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Hasrah,²⁶⁴¹ keeper⁸¹⁰⁴ of the wardrobe;⁸⁹⁹ (now she¹⁹³¹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in the college:)⁴⁹³² and they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ her to that²⁰⁶³ effect.

23  And she answered⁵⁵⁹ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Tell⁵⁵⁹ ye the man³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ you to⁴¹³ me,

24  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof, even ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the curses⁴²³ that are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² which⁸³⁴ they have read⁷¹²¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah:³⁰⁶³

25  Because^{8478 834} they have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they might provoke me to anger³⁷⁰⁷ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the works⁴⁶³⁹ of their hands;³⁰²⁷ therefore my wrath²⁵³⁴ shall be poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched.³⁵¹⁸

26  And as for⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ who sent⁷⁹⁷¹ you to inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ so³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ concerning the words¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou hast heard;⁸⁰⁸⁵

27  Because³²⁸² thine heart³⁸²⁴ was tender,⁷⁴⁰¹ and thou didst humble thyself³⁶⁶⁵ before^{4480 6440} God,⁴³⁰ when thou heardest^{8085 853} his words¹⁶⁹⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and against⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof, and humbledst thyself³⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, and didst rend^{7167 853} thy clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and weep¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; I⁵⁸⁹ have even heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ thee also,¹⁵⁷¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

28  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will gather⁶²² thee to⁴¹³ thy fathers,¹ and thou shalt be gathered⁶²² to⁴¹³ thy grave⁶⁹¹³ in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ see⁷²⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ will bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the same. So they brought^{7725 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ again.

29  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and gathered together^{622 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

30  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ great^{4480 1419} and small:⁶⁹⁹⁶ and he read⁷¹²¹ in their ears^{241 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

31  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ his place,⁵⁹⁷⁷ and made^{3772 853} a covenant¹²⁸⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to keep^{8104 853} his commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ and his testimonies,⁵⁷¹⁵ and his statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ with all³⁶⁰⁵ his heart,³⁸²⁴ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ his soul,⁵³¹⁵ to perform^{6213 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ which are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ book.⁵⁶¹²

32  And he caused ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that were present⁴⁶⁷² in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to it. And the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ did⁶²¹³ according to the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of God,⁴³⁰ the God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

33  And Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ took away^{5493 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the countries⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ pertained to the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and made ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that were present⁴⁶⁷² in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to serve,⁵⁶⁴⁷ even to serve^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God.⁴³⁰ And all³⁶⁰⁵ his days³¹¹⁷ they departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from following^{4480 310} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

2 Chronicles 35: 1-27

1  Moreover Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ kept⁶²¹³ a passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth^{702 6240} day of the first⁷²²³ month.²³²⁰

2  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ their charges,⁴⁹³¹ and encouraged²³⁸⁸ them to the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

3  And said⁵⁵⁹ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that taught⁴⁰⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which were holy⁶⁹¹⁸ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Put^{5414 853} the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ ark⁷²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did build;¹¹²⁹ it shall not³⁶⁹ be a burden⁴⁸⁵³ upon your shoulders:³⁸⁰² serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ now^{6258 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸

4  And prepare³⁵⁵⁹ yourselves by the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of your fathers,¹ after your courses,⁴²⁵⁶ according to the writing³⁷⁹¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and according to the writing⁴³⁸⁵ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his son.¹¹²¹

5  And stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place according to the divisions⁶³⁹¹ of the families¹⁰⁰⁴ of the fathers¹ of your brethren²⁵¹ the people,^{1121 5971} and after the division²⁵¹⁵ of the families^{1004 1} of the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

6  So kill⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and sanctify yourselves,⁶⁹⁴² and prepare³⁵⁵⁹ your brethren,²⁵¹ that they may do⁶²¹³ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses.⁴⁸⁷²

7  And Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ gave⁷³¹¹ to the people,^{1121 5971} of the flock,⁶⁶²⁹ lambs³⁵³² and kids,^{1121 5795} all³⁶⁰⁵ for the passover offerings,⁶⁴⁵³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ that were present,⁴⁶⁷² to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks:¹²⁴¹ these⁴²⁸ were of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ substance.^{4480 7399}

8  And his princes⁸²⁶⁹ gave⁷³¹¹ willingly⁵⁰⁷¹ unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ to the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and to the Levites:³⁸⁸¹ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ and Zechariah²¹⁴⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ rulers⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the priests³⁵⁴⁸ for the passover offerings⁶⁴⁵³ two thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ small cattle, and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen.¹²⁴¹

9  Conaniah³⁵⁶² also, and Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ and Nethaneel,⁵⁴¹⁷ his brethren,²⁵¹ and Hashabiah²⁸¹¹ and Jeiel³²⁷³ and Jozabad,³¹⁰⁷ chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ gave⁷³¹¹ unto the Levites³⁸⁸¹ for passover offerings⁶⁴⁵³ five²⁵⁶⁸ thousand⁵⁰⁵ small cattle, and five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen.¹²⁴¹

10  So the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ was prepared,³⁵⁵⁹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ their place,⁵⁹⁷⁷ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ in⁵⁹²¹ their courses,⁴²⁵⁶ according to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷

11  And they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sprinkled²²³⁶ the blood from their hands,^{4480 3027} and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ flayed⁶⁵⁸⁴ them.

12  And they removed⁵⁴⁹³ the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ that they might give⁵⁴¹⁴ according to the divisions⁴⁶⁵³ of the families^{1004 1} of the people,^{1121 5971} to offer⁷¹²⁶ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Moses.⁴⁸⁷² And so³⁶⁵¹ did they with the oxen.¹²⁴¹

13  And they roasted¹³¹⁰ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ with fire⁷⁸⁴ according to the ordinance:⁴⁹⁴¹ but the other holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ offerings sod¹³¹⁰ they in pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and in caldrons,¹⁷³¹ and in pans,⁶⁷⁴⁵ and divided them speedily⁷³²³ among all³⁶⁰⁵ the people.^{1121 5971}

14  And afterward³¹⁰ they made ready³⁵⁵⁹ for themselves, and for the priests:³⁵⁴⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron¹⁷⁵ were busied in offering⁵⁹²⁷ of burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ night;³⁹¹⁵ therefore the Levites³⁸⁸¹ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for themselves, and for the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron.¹⁷⁵

15  And the singers⁷⁸⁹¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Asaph⁶²³ were in⁵⁹²¹ their place,⁴⁶¹² according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of David,¹⁷³² and Asaph,⁶²³ and Heman,¹⁹⁶⁸ and Jeduthun³⁰³⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ seer;²³⁷⁴ and the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ waited at every gate;^{8179 8179} they might not³⁶⁹ depart⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5921} their service;⁵⁶⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ their brethren²⁵¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for them.

16  So all³⁶⁰⁵ the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was prepared³⁵⁵⁹ the same¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover,⁶⁴⁵³ and to offer⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah.²⁹⁷⁷

17  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² kept^{6213 853} the passover⁶⁴⁵³ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.³¹¹⁷

18  And there was no³⁸⁰⁸ passover⁶⁴⁵³ like to³⁶⁴⁴ that kept⁶²¹³ in Israel³⁴⁷⁸ from the days^{4480 3117} of Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ the prophet;⁵⁰³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ did⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁶²¹³ such a passover⁶⁴⁵³ as⁸³⁴ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ kept,⁶²¹³ and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present,⁴⁶⁷² and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

19  In the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ was this²⁰⁸⁸ passover⁶⁴⁵³ kept.⁶²¹³

20  After³¹⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ when⁸³⁴ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ had prepared^{3559 853} the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ Necho⁵²²⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against Carchemish³⁷⁵¹ by⁵⁹²¹ Euphrates:⁶⁵⁷⁸ and Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ went out³³¹⁸ against⁷¹²⁵ him.

21  But he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ ambassadors⁴³⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I to do with thee, thou king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah?³⁰⁶³ I come not³⁸⁰⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ thee⁸⁵⁹ this day,³¹¹⁷ but³⁵⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ wherewith I have war:⁴⁴²¹ for God⁴³⁰ commanded⁵⁵⁹ me to make haste:⁹²⁶ forbear²³⁰⁸ thee from meddling with God,^{4480 430} who⁸³⁴ is with⁵⁹⁷³ me, that he destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee not.⁴⁰⁸

22  Nevertheless Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ would not³⁸⁰⁸ turn⁵⁴³⁷ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, but³⁵⁸⁸ disguised himself,²⁶⁶⁴ that he might fight³⁸⁹⁸ with him, and hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Necho⁵²²⁴ from the mouth^{4480 6310} of God,⁴³⁰ and came⁹³⁵ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ in the valley¹²³⁷ of Megiddo.⁴⁰²³

23  And the archers³³⁸⁴ shot³³⁸⁴ at king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah;²⁹⁷⁷ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Have me away;⁵⁶⁷⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am sore wounded.^{2470 3966}

24  His servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ therefore took⁵⁶⁷⁴ him out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ that chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ and put⁷³⁹² him in⁵⁹²¹ the second⁴⁹³² chariot⁷³⁹³ that⁸³⁴ he had; and they brought¹⁹⁸⁰ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and he died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in one of the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of his fathers.¹ And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ mourned⁵⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ Josiah.²⁹⁷⁷

25  And Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ lamented⁶⁹⁶⁹ for⁵⁹²¹ Josiah:²⁹⁷⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the singing men⁷⁸⁹¹ and the singing women⁷⁸⁹¹ spoke⁵⁵⁹ of⁵⁹²¹ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ in their lamentations⁷⁰¹⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ this day,³¹¹⁷ and made⁵⁴¹⁴ them an ordinance²⁷⁰⁶ in⁵⁹²¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the lamentations.⁷⁰¹⁵

26  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ and his goodness,²⁶¹⁷ according to that which was written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

27  And his deeds,¹⁶⁹⁷ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

2 Chronicles 36: 1-23

1  Then the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ took^{3947 853} Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ and made him king⁴⁴²⁷ in his father's stead^{8478 1} in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ was twenty⁶²⁴² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months²³²⁰ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ put him down⁵⁴⁹³ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and condemned^{6064 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ in a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver³⁷⁰¹ and a talent³⁶⁰³ of gold.²⁰⁹¹

4  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ made ⁸⁵³ Eliakim⁴⁷¹ his brother²⁵¹ king⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and turned^{5437 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ to Jehoiakim.³⁰⁷⁹ And Necho⁵²²⁴ took³⁹⁴⁷ Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ his brother,²⁵¹ and carried⁹³⁵ him to Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

5  Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eleven^{259 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God.⁴³⁰

6  Against⁵⁹²¹ him came up⁵⁹²⁷ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and bound⁶³¹ him in fetters,⁵¹⁷⁸ to carry¹⁹⁸⁰ him to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

7  Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ also carried⁹³⁵ of the vessels^{4480 3627} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in his temple¹⁹⁶⁴ at Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

8  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehoiakim,³⁰⁷⁹ and his abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ he did,⁶²¹³ and that which was found⁴⁶⁷² in⁵⁹²¹ him, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah:³⁰⁶³ and Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

9  Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ was eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months²³²⁰ and ten⁶²³⁵ days³¹¹⁷ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

10  And when the year⁸¹⁴¹ was expired,⁸⁶⁶⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and brought⁹³⁵ him to Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ the goodly²⁵³² vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and made^{4427 853} Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ his brother²⁵¹ king over⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

11  Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ was one²⁵⁹ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eleven^{259 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

12  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and humbled not himself^{3665 3808} before^{4480 6440} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ speaking from the mouth^{4480 6310} of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And he also¹⁵⁷¹ rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against king⁴⁴²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar,⁵⁰¹⁹ who⁸³⁴ had made him swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by God:⁴³⁰ but he stiffened^{7185 853} his neck,⁶²⁰³ and hardened^{553 853} his heart³⁸²⁴ from turning^{4480 7725} unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ transgressed very much^{7235 4603 4604} after all³⁶⁰⁵ the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of the heathen;¹⁴⁷¹ and polluted^{2930 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he had hallowed⁶⁹⁴² in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

15  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁵⁹²¹ them by³⁰²⁷ his messengers,⁴³⁹⁷ rising up quickly,⁷⁹²⁵ and sending;⁷⁹⁷¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had compassion²⁵⁵⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and on⁵⁹²¹ his dwelling place:⁴⁵⁸³

16  But they mocked^{1961 3931} the messengers⁴³⁹⁷ of God,⁴³⁰ and despised⁹⁵⁹ his words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and misused⁸⁵⁹¹ his prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the wrath²⁵³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ arose⁵⁹²⁷ against his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ till⁵⁷⁰⁴ there was no³⁶⁹ remedy.⁴⁸³²

17  Therefore he brought⁵⁹²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them ⁸⁵³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of the Chaldees,³⁷⁷⁸ who slew²⁰²⁶ their young men⁹⁷⁰ with the sword²⁷¹⁹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ and had no compassion^{2550 3808} upon⁵⁹²¹ young man⁹⁷⁰ or maiden,¹³³⁰ old man,²²⁰⁵ or him that stooped for age:³⁴⁸⁶ he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them all³⁶⁰⁵ into his hand.³⁰²⁷

18  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ great¹⁴¹⁹ and small,⁶⁹⁹⁶ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and of his princes;⁸²⁶⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ these he brought⁹³⁵ to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

19  And they burnt^{8313 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ and broke down^{5422 853} the wall²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and burnt⁸³¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the palaces⁷⁵⁹ thereof with fire,⁷⁸⁴ and destroyed⁷⁸⁴³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the goodly⁴²⁶¹ vessels³⁶²⁷ thereof.

20  And them that had escaped⁷⁶¹¹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sword²⁷¹⁹ carried he away¹⁵⁴⁰ to⁴¹³ Babylon;⁸⁹⁴ where they were¹⁹⁶¹ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ to him and his sons¹¹²¹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the reign⁴⁴²⁷ of the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Persia:⁶⁵³⁹

21  To fulfill⁴³⁹⁰ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ had enjoyed^{7521 853} her sabbaths:⁷⁶⁷⁶ for as long as^{3605 3117} she lay desolate⁸⁰⁷⁴ she kept sabbath,⁷⁶⁷³ to fulfill⁴³⁹⁰ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ years.⁸¹⁴¹

22  Now in the first²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of Cyrus³⁵⁶⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia,⁶⁵³⁹ that the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoken by the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ might be accomplished,³⁶¹⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ stirred up^{5782 853} the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of Cyrus³⁵⁶⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia,⁶⁵³⁹ that he made a proclamation^{5674 6963} throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and put it also¹⁵⁷¹ in writing,⁴³⁸⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹

23  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ Cyrus³⁵⁶⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Persia,⁶⁵³⁹ All³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ given⁵⁴¹⁴ me; and he¹⁹³¹ hath charged^{6485 5921} me to build¹¹²⁹ him a house¹⁰⁰⁴ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ which⁸³⁴ is in Judah.³⁰⁶³ Who⁴³¹⁰ is there among you of all^{4480 3605} his people?⁵⁹⁷¹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ be with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and let him go up.⁵⁹²⁷
