2 Chronicles 10:1--31:21

10:1
And Rehoboam
<07346>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Shechem
<07927>_:
for to Shechem
<07927>
were all Israel
<03478>
come
<0935> (8804)
to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.
10:2
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
who [was] in Egypt
<04714>_,
whither he had fled
<01272> (8804)
from the presence
<06440>
of Solomon
<08010>
the king
<04428>_,
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that Jeroboam
<03379>
returned
<07725> (8799)
out of Egypt
<04714>_.
10:3
And they sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
him. So Jeroboam
<03379>
and all Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)
and spake
<01696> (8762)
to Rehoboam
<07346>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
10:4
Thy father
<01>
made our yoke
<05923>
grievous
<07185> (8689)_:
now therefore ease
<07043> (8685)
thou somewhat the grievous
<07186>
servitude
<05656>
of thy father
<01>_,
and his heavy
<03515>
yoke
<05923>
that he put
<05414> (8804)
upon us, and we will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee.
10:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Come again
<07725> (8798)
unto me after three
<07969>
days
<03117>_.
And the people
<05971>
departed
<03212> (8799)_.
10:6
And king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
took counsel
<03289> (8735)
with the old
<02205>
men that had stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
Solomon
<08010>
his father
<01>
while he yet lived
<02416>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What
<0349>
counsel give
<03289> (8737)
ye [me] to return
<07725> (8687)
answer
<01697>
to this people
<05971>_?
10:7
And they spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If thou be kind
<02896>
to this people
<05971>_,
and please
<07521> (8804)
them, and speak
<01696> (8765)
good
<02896>
words
<01697>
to them, they will be thy servants
<05650>
for ever
<03117>_.
10:8
But he forsook
<05800> (8799)
the counsel
<06098>
which the old men
<02205>
gave
<03289> (8804)
him, and took counsel
<03289> (8735)
with the young men
<03206>
that were brought up
<01431> (8804)
with him, that stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
him.
10:9
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, What advice
<03289> (8737)
give ye that we may return
<07725> (8686)
answer
<01697>
to this people
<05971>_,
which have spoken
<01696> (8765)
to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ease
<07043> (8685)
somewhat the yoke
<05923>
that thy father
<01>
did put
<05414> (8804)
upon us?
10:10
And the young men
<03206>
that were brought up
<01431> (8804)
with him spake
<01696> (8762)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shalt thou answer
<0559> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that spake
<01696> (8765)
unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thy father
<01>
made
<03513> (0)
our yoke
<05923>
heavy
<03513> (8689)_,
but make thou [it] somewhat lighter
<07043> (8685)
for us; thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
unto them, My little
<06995>
[finger] shall be thicker
<05666> (8804)
than my father's
<01>
loins
<04975>_.
10:11
For whereas
<06258>
my father
<01>
put
<06006> (8689)
a heavy
<03515>
yoke
<05923>
upon you, I will put more
<03254> (8686)
to your yoke
<05923>_:
my father
<01>
chastised
<03256> (8765)
you with whips
<07752>_,
but I [will chastise you] with scorpions
<06137>_.
{my father put: Heb. my father laded}
10:12
So Jeroboam
<03379>
and all the people
<05971>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Rehoboam
<07346>
on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
as the king
<04428>
bade
<01696> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come again
<07725> (8798)
to me on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_.
10:13
And the king
<04428>
answered
<06030> (8799)
them roughly
<07186>_;
and king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
forsook
<05800> (8799)
the counsel
<06098>
of the old men
<02205>_,
10:14
And answered
<01696> (8762)
them after the advice
<06098>
of the young men
<03206>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
My father
<01>
made your yoke
<05923>
heavy
<03513> (8689)_,
but I will add
<03254> (8686)
thereto: my father
<01>
chastised
<03256> (8765)
you with whips
<07752>_,
but I [will chastise you] with scorpions
<06137>_.
10:15
So the king
<04428>
hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto the people
<05971>_:
for the cause
<05252>
was of God
<0430>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
might perform
<06965> (8687)
his word
<01697>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by the hand
<03027>
of Ahijah
<0281>
the Shilonite
<07888>
to Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_.
10:16
And when all Israel
<03478>
[saw
<07200> (8804)_]
that the king
<04428>
would not hearken
<08085> (8804)
unto them, the people
<05971>
answered
<07725> (8686)
the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What portion
<02506>
have we in David
<01732>_?
and [we have] none inheritance
<05159>
in the son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>_:
every man
<0376>
to your tents
<0168>_,
O Israel
<03478>_:
[and] now, David
<01732>_,
see
<07200> (8798)
to thine own house
<01004>_.
So all Israel
<03478>
went
<03212> (8799)
to their tents
<0168>_.
10:17
But [as for] the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Rehoboam
<07346>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
over them.
10:18
Then king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Hadoram
<01913>
that [was] over the tribute
<04522>_;
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
stoned
<07275> (8799)
him with stones
<068>_,
that he died
<04191> (8799)_.
But king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
made speed
<0553> (8694)
to get him up
<05927> (8800)
to [his] chariot
<04818>_,
to flee
<05127> (8800)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{made speed: Heb. strengthened himself}
10:19
And Israel
<03478>
rebelled
<06586> (8799)
against the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>
unto this day
<03117>_.
11:1
And when Rehoboam
<07346>
was come
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
he gathered
<06950> (8686)
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>
an hundred
<03967>
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
[men], which were warriors
<06213> (8802) <04421>_,
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against Israel
<03478>_,
that he might bring
<07725> (0)
the kingdom
<04467>
again
<07725> (8687)
to Rehoboam
<07346>_.
11:2
But the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Shemaiah
<08098>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
11:3
Speak
<0559> (8798)
unto Rehoboam
<07346>
the son
<01121>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and to all Israel
<03478>
in Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
11:4
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,
nor fight
<03898> (8735)
against your brethren
<0251>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
every man
<0376>
to his house
<01004>_:
for this thing
<01697>
is done
<01961> (8738)
of me. And they obeyed
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
from going
<03212> (8800)
against Jeroboam
<03379>_.
11:5
And Rehoboam
<07346>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
cities
<05892>
for defence
<04692>
in Judah
<03063>_.
11:6
He built
<01129> (8799)
even Bethlehem
<01035>_,
and Etam
<05862>_,
and Tekoa
<08620>_,
11:7
And Bethzur
<01049>_,
and Shoco
<07755>_,
and Adullam
<05725>_,
11:8
And Gath
<01661>_,
and Mareshah
<04762>_,
and Ziph
<02128>_,
11:9
And Adoraim
<0115>_,
and Lachish
<03923>_,
and Azekah
<05825>_,
11:10
And Zorah
<06881>_,
and Aijalon
<0357>_,
and Hebron
<02275>_,
which [are] in Judah
<03063>
and in Benjamin
<01144>
fenced
<04694>
cities
<05892>_.
11:11
And he fortified
<02388> (8762)
the strong holds
<04694>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
captains
<05057>
in them, and store
<0214>
of victual
<03978>_,
and of oil
<08081>
and wine
<03196>_.
11:12
And in every several city
<05892>
[he put] shields
<06793>
and spears
<07420>_,
and made them exceeding
<07235> (8687) <03966>
strong
<02388> (8762)_,
having Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>
on his side.
11:13
And the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
that [were] in all Israel
<03478>
resorted
<03320> (8694)
to him out of all their coasts
<01366>_.
{resorted...: Heb. presented themselves to him}
11:14
For the Levites
<03881>
left
<05800> (8804)
their suburbs
<04054>
and their possession
<0272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for Jeroboam
<03379>
and his sons
<01121>
had cast them off
<02186> (8689)
from executing the priest's office
<03547> (8763)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
11:15
And he ordained
<05975> (8686)
him priests
<03548>
for the high places
<01116>_,
and for the devils
<08163>_,
and for the calves
<05695>
which he had made
<06213> (8804)_.
11:16
And after
<0310>
them out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
such as set
<05414> (8802)
their hearts
<03824>
to seek
<01245> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8804)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
11:17
So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)
the kingdom
<04438>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and made Rehoboam
<07346>
the son
<01121>
of Solomon
<08010>
strong
<0553> (8762)_,
three
<07969>
years
<08141>_:
for three
<07969>
years
<08141>
they walked
<01980> (8804)
in the way
<01870>
of David
<01732>
and Solomon
<08010>_.
11:18
And Rehoboam
<07346>
took
<03947> (8799)
him Mahalath
<04258>
the daughter
<01323> (8675) <01121>
of Jerimoth
<03406>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
to wife
<0802>_,
[and] Abihail
<032>
the daughter
<01323>
of Eliab
<0446>
the son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>_;
11:19
Which bare
<03205> (8799)
him children
<01121>_;
Jeush
<03266>_,
and Shamariah
<08114>_,
and Zaham
<02093>_.
11:20
And after
<0310>
her he took
<03947> (8804)
Maachah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Absalom
<053>_;
which bare
<03205> (8799)
him Abijah
<029>_,
and Attai
<06262>_,
and Ziza
<02124>_,
and Shelomith
<08019>_.
{Maachah: she is also called Michaiah the daughter of Uriel}
11:21
And Rehoboam
<07346>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Maachah
<04601>
the daughter
<01323>
of Absalom
<053>
above all his wives
<0802>
and his concubines
<06370>_:
(for he took
<05375> (8804)
eighteen
<08083> <06240>
wives
<0802>_,
and threescore
<08346>
concubines
<06370>_;
and begat
<03205> (8686)
twenty
<06242>
and eight
<08083>
sons
<01121>_,
and threescore
<08346>
daughters
<01323>.)
11:22
And Rehoboam
<07346>
made
<05975> (8686)
Abijah
<029>
the son
<01121>
of Maachah
<04601>
the chief
<07218>_,
[to be] ruler
<05057>
among his brethren
<0251>_:
for [he thought] to make him king
<04427> (8687)_.
11:23
And he dealt wisely
<0995> (8799)_,
and dispersed
<06555> (8799)
of all his children
<01121>
throughout all the countries
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
unto every fenced
<04694>
city
<05892>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
them victual
<04202>
in abundance
<07230>_.
And he desired
<07592> (8799)
many
<01995>
wives
<0802>_.
{many wives: Heb. a multitude of wives}
12:1
And it came to pass, when Rehoboam
<07346>
had established
<03559> (8687)
the kingdom
<04438>_,
and had strengthened
<02393>
himself, he forsook
<05800> (8804)
the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him.
12:2
And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
Shishak
<07895>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
because they had transgressed
<04603> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
12:3
With twelve hundred
<03967> <0505>
chariots
<07393>_,
and threescore
<08346>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_:
and the people
<05971>
[were] without number
<04557>
that came
<0935> (8804)
with him out of Egypt
<04714>_;
the Lubims
<03864>_,
the Sukkiims
<05525>_,
and the Ethiopians
<03569>_.
12:4
And he took
<03920> (8799)
the fenced
<04694>
cities
<05892>
which [pertained] to Judah
<03063>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
12:5
Then came
<0935> (8804)
Shemaiah
<08098>
the prophet
<05030>
to Rehoboam
<07346>_,
and [to] the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that were gathered together
<0622> (8738)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
because
<06440>
of Shishak
<07895>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and therefore have I also
<0637>
left
<05800> (8804)
you in the hand
<03027>
of Shishak
<07895>_.
12:6
Whereupon the princes
<08269>
of Israel
<03478>
and the king
<04428>
humbled
<03665> (8735)
themselves; and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
[is] righteous
<06662>_.
12:7
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8800)
that they humbled
<03665> (8738)
themselves, the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Shemaiah
<08098>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They have humbled
<03665> (8738)
themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy
<07843> (8686)
them, but I will grant
<05414> (8804)
them some
<04592>
deliverance
<06413>_;
and my wrath
<02534>
shall not be poured out
<05413> (8799)
upon Jerusalem
<03389>
by the hand
<03027>
of Shishak
<07895>_.
{some: or, a little while}
12:8
Nevertheless they shall be his servants
<05650>_;
that they may know
<03045> (8799)
my service
<05656>_,
and the service
<05656>
of the kingdoms
<04467>
of the countries
<0776>_.
12:9
So Shishak
<07895>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
came up
<05927> (8799)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and took away
<03947> (8799)
the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_;
he took
<03947> (8804)
all: he carried away
<03947> (8799)
also the shields
<04043>
of gold
<02091>
which Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)_.
12:10
Instead of which king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
made
<06213> (8799)
shields
<04043>
of brass
<05178>_,
and committed
<06485> (8689)
[them] to the hands
<03027>
of the chief
<08269>
of the guard
<07323> (8801)_,
that kept
<08104> (8802)
the entrance
<06607>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_.
12:11
And when
<01767>
the king
<04428>
entered
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the guard
<07323> (8801)
came
<0935> (8804)
and fetched
<05375> (8804)
them, and brought them again
<07725> (8689)
into the guard
<07323> (8801)
chamber
<08372>_.
12:12
And when he humbled
<03665> (8736)
himself, the wrath
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
turned
<07725> (8804)
from him, that he would not destroy
<07843> (8687)
[him] altogether
<03617>_:
and also in Judah
<03063>
things
<01697>
went well
<02896>_.
{and also...: or, and yet in Judah there were good things}
12:13
So king
<04428>
Rehoboam
<07346>
strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)_:
for Rehoboam
<07346>
[was] one
<0259>
and forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
seventeen
<07651> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the city
<05892>
which the LORD
<03068>
had chosen
<0977> (8804)
out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
to put
<07760> (8800)
his name
<08034>
there. And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Naamah
<05279>
an Ammonitess
<05985>_.
12:14
And he did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>_,
because he prepared
<03559> (8689)
not his heart
<03820>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{prepared: or, fixed}
12:15
Now the acts
<01697>
of Rehoboam
<07346>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<01697>
of Shemaiah
<08098>
the prophet
<05030>_,
and of Iddo
<05714>
the seer
<02374>
concerning genealogies
<03187> (8692)_?
And [there were] wars
<04421>
between Rehoboam
<07346>
and Jeroboam
<03379>
continually
<03117>_.
{book: Heb. words}
12:16
And Rehoboam
<07346>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_:
and Abijah
<029>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Abijah: also called, Abijam}
13:1
Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Jeroboam
<03379>
began Abijah
<029>
to reign
<04427> (8799)
over Judah
<03063>_.
13:2
He reigned
<04427> (8804)
three
<07969>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Michaiah
<04322>
the daughter
<01323>
of Uriel
<0222>
of Gibeah
<01390>_.
And there was war
<04421>
between Abijah
<029>
and Jeroboam
<03379>_.
13:3
And Abijah
<029>
set
<0631> (0)
the battle
<04421>
in array
<0631> (8799)
with an army
<02428>
of valiant men
<01368>
of war
<04421>_,
[even] four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>_:
Jeroboam
<03379>
also set the battle
<04421>
in array
<06186> (8804)
against him with eight
<08083>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>_,
[being] mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_.
{Abijah set: Heb. Abijah bound together}
13:4
And Abijah
<029>
stood up
<06965> (8799)
upon mount
<02022>
Zemaraim
<06787>_,
which [is] in mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
me, thou Jeroboam
<03379>_,
and all Israel
<03478>_;
13:5
Ought ye not to know
<03045> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
gave
<05414> (8804)
the kingdom
<04467>
over Israel
<03478>
to David
<01732>
for ever
<05769>_,
[even] to him and to his sons
<01121>
by a covenant
<01285>
of salt
<04417>_?
13:6
Yet Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
the servant
<05650>
of Solomon
<08010>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>_,
is risen up
<06965> (8799)_,
and hath rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against his lord
<0113>_.
13:7
And there are gathered
<06908> (8735)
unto him vain
<07386>
men
<0582>_,
the children
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
and have strengthened
<0553> (8691)
themselves against Rehoboam
<07346>
the son
<01121>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
when Rehoboam
<07346>
was young
<05288>
and tenderhearted
<07390> <03824>_,
and could not withstand
<02388> (8694)
them
<06440>_.
13:8
And now ye think
<0559> (8802)
to withstand
<02388> (8692)
the kingdom
<06440> <04467>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the hand
<03027>
of the sons
<01121>
of David
<01732>_;
and ye [be] a great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_,
and [there are] with you golden
<02091>
calves
<05695>_,
which Jeroboam
<03379>
made
<06213> (8804)
you for gods
<0430>_.
13:9
Have ye not cast out
<05080> (8689)
the priests
<03548>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and have made
<06213> (8799)
you priests
<03548>
after the manner of the nations
<05971>
of [other] lands
<0776>_?
so that whosoever cometh
<0935> (8802)
to consecrate
<04390> (8763) <03027>
himself with a young
<01121> <01241>
bullock
<06499>
and seven
<07651>
rams
<0352>_,
[the same] may be a priest
<03548>
of [them that are] no
<03808>
gods
<0430>_.
{to consecrate...: Heb. to fill his hand}
13:10
But as for us, the LORD
<03068>
[is] our God
<0430>_,
and we have not forsaken
<05800> (8804)
him; and the priests
<03548>_,
which minister
<08334> (8764)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
[are] the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
[wait] upon [their] business
<04399>_:
13:11
And they burn
<06999> (8688)
unto the LORD
<03068>
every morning
<01242>
and every evening
<06153>
burnt sacrifices
<05930>
and sweet
<05561>
incense
<07004>_:
the shewbread
<03899> <04635>
also [set they in order] upon the pure
<02889>
table
<07979>_;
and the candlestick
<04501>
of gold
<02091>
with the lamps
<05216>
thereof, to burn
<01197> (8763)
every evening
<06153>_:
for we keep
<08104> (8802)
the charge
<04931>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_;
but ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
him.
13:12
And, behold, God
<0430>
himself [is] with us for [our] captain
<07218>_,
and his priests
<03548>
with sounding
<08643>
trumpets
<02689>
to cry alarm
<07321> (8687)
against you. O children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
fight
<03898> (8735)
ye not against the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of your fathers
<01>_;
for ye shall not prosper
<06743> (8686)_.
13:13
But Jeroboam
<03379>
caused an ambushment
<03993>
to come
<0935> (8800)
about
<05437> (8689)
behind
<0310>
them: so they were before
<06440>
Judah
<03063>_,
and the ambushment
<03993>
[was] behind
<0310>
them.
13:14
And when Judah
<03063>
looked back
<06437> (8799)_,
behold, the battle
<04421>
[was] before
<06440>
and behind
<0268>_:
and they cried
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and the priests
<03548>
sounded
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)
with the trumpets
<02689>_.
13:15
Then the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
gave a shout
<07321> (8686)_:
and as the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
shouted
<07321> (8687)_,
it came to pass, that God
<0430>
smote
<05062> (8804)
Jeroboam
<03379>
and all Israel
<03478>
before
<06440>
Abijah
<029>
and Judah
<03063>_.
13:16
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
fled
<05127> (8799)
before
<06440>
Judah
<03063>_:
and God
<0430>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into their hand
<03027>_.
13:17
And Abijah
<029>
and his people
<05971>
slew
<05221> (8686)
them with a great
<07227>
slaughter
<04347>_:
so there fell down
<05307> (8799)
slain
<02491>
of Israel
<03478>
five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>_.
13:18
Thus the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were brought
<03665> (8735)
under at that time
<06256>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
prevailed
<0553> (8799)_,
because they relied
<08172> (8738)
upon the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
13:19
And Abijah
<029>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Jeroboam
<03379>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
cities
<05892>
from him, Bethel
<01008>
with the towns
<01323>
thereof, and Jeshanah
<03466>
with the towns
<01323>
thereof, and Ephrain
<06085>
with the towns
<01323>
thereof.
13:20
Neither did Jeroboam
<03379>
recover
<06113> (8804)
strength
<03581>
again in the days
<03117>
of Abijah
<029>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
struck
<05062> (8799)
him, and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
13:21
But Abijah
<029>
waxed mighty
<02388> (8691)_,
and married
<05375> (8799)
fourteen
<0702> <06240>
wives
<0802>_,
and begat
<03205> (8686)
twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
and sixteen
<08337> <06240>
daughters
<01323>_.
13:22
And the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Abijah
<029>_,
and his ways
<01870>_,
and his sayings
<01697>_,
[are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the story
<04097>
of the prophet
<05030>
Iddo
<05714>_.
14:1
So Abijah
<029>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_:
and Asa
<0609>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. In his days
<03117>
the land
<0776>
was quiet
<08252> (8804)
ten
<06235>
years
<08141>_.
14:2
And Asa
<0609>
did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] good
<02896>
and right
<03477>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_:
14:3
For he took away
<05493> (8686)
the altars
<04196>
of the strange
<05236>
[gods], and the high places
<01116>_,
and brake down
<07665> (8762)
the images
<04676>_,
and cut down
<01438> (8762)
the groves
<0842>_:
{images: Heb. statues}
14:4
And commanded
<0559> (8799)
Judah
<03063>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_,
and to do
<06213> (8800)
the law
<08451>
and the commandment
<04687>_.
14:5
Also he took away
<05493> (8686)
out of all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
the high places
<01116>
and the images
<02553>_:
and the kingdom
<04467>
was quiet
<08252> (8799)
before
<06440>
him. {images: Heb. sun images}
14:6
And he built
<01129> (8799)
fenced
<04694>
cities
<05892>
in Judah
<03063>_:
for the land
<0776>
had rest
<08252> (8804)_,
and he had no war
<04421>
in those years
<08141>_;
because the LORD
<03068>
had given him rest
<05117> (8689)_.
14:7
Therefore he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Judah
<03063>_,
Let us build
<01129> (8799)
these cities
<05892>_,
and make about
<05437> (8686)
[them] walls
<02346>_,
and towers
<04026>_,
gates
<01817>_,
and bars
<01280>_,
[while] the land
<0776>
[is] yet before
<06440>
us; because we have sought
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
we have sought
<01875> (8804)
[him], and he hath given us rest
<05117> (8799)
on every side
<05439>_.
So they built
<01129> (8799)
and prospered
<06743> (8686)_.
14:8
And Asa
<0609>
had an army
<02428>
[of men] that bare
<05375> (8802)
targets
<06793>
and spears
<07420>_,
out of Judah
<03063>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>_;
and out of Benjamin
<01144>_,
that bare
<05375> (8802)
shields
<04043>
and drew
<01869> (8802)
bows
<07198>_,
two hundred
<03967>
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>_:
all these [were] mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_.
14:9
And there came out
<03318> (8799)
against them Zerah
<02226>
the Ethiopian
<03569>
with an host
<02428>
of a thousand
<0505>
thousand
<0505>_,
and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<04818>_;
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto Mareshah
<04762>_.
14:10
Then Asa
<0609>
went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<06440>
him, and they set the battle
<04421>
in array
<06186> (8799)
in the valley
<01516>
of Zephathah
<06859>
at Mareshah
<04762>_.
14:11
And Asa
<0609>
cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
LORD
<03068>_,
[it is] nothing with thee to help
<05826> (8800)_,
whether
<0996>
with many
<07227>_,
or with them that have no power
<03581>_:
help
<05826> (8798)
us, O LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_;
for we rest
<08172> (8738)
on thee, and in thy name
<08034>
we go
<0935> (8804)
against this multitude
<01995>_.
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou [art] our God
<0430>_;
let not man
<0582>
prevail
<06113> (8799)
against thee. {man: or, mortal man}
14:12
So the LORD
<03068>
smote
<05062> (8799)
the Ethiopians
<03569>
before
<06440>
Asa
<0609>_,
and before
<06440>
Judah
<03063>_;
and the Ethiopians
<03569>
fled
<05127> (8799)_.
14:13
And Asa
<0609>
and the people
<05971>
that [were] with him pursued
<07291> (8799)
them unto Gerar
<01642>_:
and the Ethiopians
<03569>
were overthrown
<05307> (8799)_,
that they could not recover
<04241>
themselves; for they were destroyed
<07665> (8738)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and before
<06440>
his host
<04264>_;
and they carried away
<05375> (8799)
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)
spoil
<07998>_.
{destroyed: Heb. broken}
14:14
And they smote
<05221> (8686)
all the cities
<05892>
round about
<05439>
Gerar
<01642>_;
for the fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>
came upon them: and they spoiled
<0962> (8799)
all the cities
<05892>_;
for there was exceeding much
<07227>
spoil
<0961>
in them.
14:15
They smote
<05221> (8689)
also the tents
<0168>
of cattle
<04735>_,
and carried away
<07617> (8799)
sheep
<06629>
and camels
<01581>
in abundance
<07230>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
15:1
And the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came upon Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Oded
<05752>_:
15:2
And he went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<06440>
Asa
<0609>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye me, Asa
<0609>_,
and all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
The LORD
<03068>
[is] with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek
<01875> (8799)
him, he will be found
<04672> (8735)
of you; but if ye forsake
<05800> (8799)
him, he will forsake
<05800> (8799)
you. {to meet...: Heb. before Asa}
15:3
Now for a long
<07227>
season
<03117>
Israel
<03478>
[hath been] without
<03808>
the true
<0571>
God
<0430>_,
and without a teaching
<03384> (8688)
priest
<03548>_,
and without law
<08451>_.
15:4
But when they in their trouble
<06862>
did turn
<07725> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and sought
<01245> (8762)
him, he was found
<04672> (8735)
of them.
15:5
And in those times
<06256>
[there was] no peace
<07965>
to him that went out
<03318> (8802)_,
nor to him that came in
<0935> (8802)_,
but great
<07227>
vexations
<04103>
[were] upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the countries
<0776>_.
15:6
And nation
<01471>
was destroyed
<03807> (8795)
of nation
<01471>_,
and city
<05892>
of city
<05892>_:
for God
<0430>
did vex
<02000> (8804)
them with all adversity
<06869>_.
{destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
15:7
Be ye strong
<02388> (8798)
therefore, and let not your hands
<03027>
be weak
<07503> (8799)_:
for your work
<06468>
shall be
<03426>
rewarded
<07939>_.
15:8
And when Asa
<0609>
heard
<08085> (8800)
these words
<01697>_,
and the prophecy
<05016>
of Oded
<05752>
the prophet
<05030>_,
he took courage
<02388> (8694)_,
and put away
<05674> (8686)
the abominable idols
<08251>
out of all the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and out of the cities
<05892>
which he had taken
<03920> (8804)
from mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and renewed
<02318> (8762)
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that [was] before
<06440>
the porch
<0197>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{abominable...: Heb. abominations}
15:9
And he gathered
<06908> (8799)
all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
and the strangers
<01481> (8802)
with them out of Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
and out of Simeon
<08095>_:
for they fell
<05307> (8804)
to him out of Israel
<03478>
in abundance
<07230>_,
when they saw
<07200> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[was] with him.
15:10
So they gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)
at Jerusalem
<03389>
in the third
<07992>
month
<02320>_,
in the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Asa
<0609>_.
15:11
And they offered
<02076> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
the same time
<03117>_,
of the spoil
<07998>
[which] they had brought
<0935> (8689)_,
seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
oxen
<01241>
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_.
{the same...: Heb. in that day}
15:12
And they entered
<0935> (8799)
into a covenant
<01285>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>
with all their heart
<03824>
and with all their soul
<05315>_;
15:13
That whosoever would not seek
<01875> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
should be put to death
<04191> (8714)_,
whether
<04480>
small
<06996>
or great
<01419>_,
whether man
<0376>
or woman
<0802>_.
15:14
And they sware
<07650> (8735)
unto the LORD
<03068>
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>_,
and with shouting
<08643>_,
and with trumpets
<02689>_,
and with cornets
<07782>_.
15:15
And all Judah
<03063>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
at the oath
<07621>_:
for they had sworn
<07650> (8738)
with all their heart
<03824>_,
and sought
<01245> (8765)
him with their whole desire
<07522>_;
and he was found
<04672> (8735)
of them: and the LORD
<03068>
gave them rest
<05117> (8799)
round about
<05439>_.
15:16
And also [concerning] Maachah
<04601>
the mother
<0517>
of Asa
<0609>
the king
<04428>_,
he removed
<05493> (8689)
her from [being] queen
<01377>_,
because she had made
<06213> (8804)
an idol
<04656>
in a grove
<0842>_:
and Asa
<0609>
cut down
<03772> (8799)
her idol
<04656>_,
and stamped
<01854> (8686)
[it], and burnt
<08313> (8799)
[it] at the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
{mother: that is, grandmother} {idol: Heb. horror}
15:17
But the high places
<01116>
were not taken away
<05493> (8804)
out of Israel
<03478>_:
nevertheless the heart
<03824>
of Asa
<0609>
was perfect
<08003>
all his days
<03117>_.
15:18
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
into the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
the things that his father
<01>
had dedicated
<06944>_,
and that he himself had dedicated
<06944>_,
silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and vessels
<03627>_.
15:19
And there was no [more] war
<04421>
unto the five
<02568>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Asa
<0609>_.
16:1
In the six
<08337>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Asa
<0609>
Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
Ramah
<07414>_,
to the intent that
<01115>
he might let
<05414> (8800)
none go out
<03318> (8802)
or come in
<0935> (8802)
to Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
16:2
Then Asa
<0609>
brought out
<03318> (8686)
silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>
out of the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
and of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
to Benhadad
<01130>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
at Damascus
<01834>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
16:3
[There is] a league
<01285>
between me and thee, as [there was] between my father
<01>
and thy father
<01>_:
behold, I have sent
<07971> (8804)
thee silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>_;
go
<03212> (8798)_,
break
<06565> (8685)
thy league
<01285>
with Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that he may depart
<05927> (8799)
from me.
16:4
And Benhadad
<01130>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto king
<04428>
Asa
<0609>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of his armies
<02428>
against the cities
<05892>
of Israel
<03478>_;
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
Ijon
<05859>_,
and Dan
<01835>_,
and Abelmaim
<066>_,
and all the store
<04543>
cities
<05892>
of Naphtali
<05321>_.
{his: Heb. which were his}
16:5
And it came to pass, when Baasha
<01201>
heard
<08085> (8800)
[it], that he left off
<02308> (8799)
building
<01129> (8800)
of Ramah
<07414>_,
and let his work
<04399>
cease
<07673> (8686)_.
16:6
Then Asa
<0609>
the king
<04428>
took
<03947> (8804)
all Judah
<03063>_;
and they carried away
<05375> (8799)
the stones
<068>
of Ramah
<07414>_,
and the timber
<06086>
thereof, wherewith Baasha
<01201>
was building
<01129> (8804)_;
and he built
<01129> (8799)
therewith Geba
<01387>
and Mizpah
<04709>_.
16:7
And at that time
<06256>
Hanani
<02607>
the seer
<07200> (8802)
came
<0935> (8804)
to Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Because thou hast relied
<08172> (8736)
on the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
and not relied
<08172> (8738)
on the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
therefore is the host
<02428>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
escaped
<04422> (8738)
out of thine hand
<03027>_.
16:8
Were not the Ethiopians
<03569>
and the Lubims
<03864>
a huge
<07230>
host
<02428>_,
with very
<03966>
many
<07235> (8687)
chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_?
yet, because thou didst rely
<08172> (8736)
on the LORD
<03068>_,
he delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into thine hand
<03027>_.
{a huge: Heb. in abundance}
16:9
For the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
run to and fro
<07751> (8789)
throughout the whole earth
<0776>_,
to shew himself strong
<02388> (8692)
in the behalf of [them] whose heart
<03824>
[is] perfect
<08003>
toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly
<05528> (8738)_:
therefore from henceforth
<06258>
thou shalt have
<03426>
wars
<04421>_.
{to shew...: or, strongly to hold with them, etc}
16:10
Then Asa
<0609>
was wroth
<03707> (8799)
with the seer
<07200> (8802)_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
him in a prison
<04115>
house
<01004>_;
for [he was] in a rage
<02197>
with him because of this [thing]. And Asa
<0609>
oppressed
<07533> (8762)
[some] of the people
<05971>
the same time
<06256>_.
{oppressed: Heb. crushed}
16:11
And, behold, the acts
<01697>
of Asa
<0609>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
lo, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_.
16:12
And Asa
<0609>
in the thirty
<07970>
and ninth
<08672>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04438>
was diseased
<02456> (8799)
in his feet
<07272>_,
until his disease
<02483>
[was] exceeding
<04605>
[great]: yet in his disease
<02483>
he sought
<01875> (8804)
not to the LORD
<03068>_,
but to the physicians
<07495> (8802)_.
16:13
And Asa
<0609>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
in the one
<0259>
and fortieth
<0705>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.
16:14
And they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in his own sepulchres
<06913>_,
which he had made
<03738> (8804)
for himself in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him in the bed
<04904>
which was filled
<04390> (8765)
with sweet odours
<01314>
and divers kinds
<02177>
[of spices] prepared
<07543> (8794)
by the apothecaries
<04842>_'
art
<04639>_:
and they made
<08313> (8799)
a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
burning
<08316>
for him. {had made: Heb. had digged}
17:1
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead, and strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself against Israel
<03478>_.
17:2
And he placed
<05414> (8799)
forces
<02428>
in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
garrisons
<05333>
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
which Asa
<0609>
his father
<01>
had taken
<03920> (8804)_.
17:3
And the LORD
<03068>
was with Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
because he walked
<01980> (8804)
in the first
<07223>
ways
<01870>
of his father
<01>
David
<01732>_,
and sought
<01875> (8804)
not unto Baalim
<01168>_;
{of...: or, of his father, and of David}
17:4
But sought
<01875> (8804)
to the [LORD] God
<0430>
of his father
<01>_,
and walked
<01980> (8804)
in his commandments
<04687>_,
and not after the doings
<04639>
of Israel
<03478>_.
17:5
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
stablished
<03559> (8686)
the kingdom
<04467>
in his hand
<03027>_;
and all Judah
<03063>
brought
<05414> (8799)
to Jehoshaphat
<03092>
presents
<04503>_;
and he had riches
<06239>
and honour
<03519>
in abundance
<07230>_.
{brought: Heb. gave}
17:6
And his heart
<03820>
was lifted up
<01361> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
moreover he took away
<05493> (8689)
the high places
<01116>
and groves
<0842>
out of Judah
<03063>_.
{was...: that is, was encouraged}
17:7
Also in the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)
he sent
<07971> (8804)
to his princes
<08269>_,
[even] to Benhail
<01134>_,
and to Obadiah
<05662>_,
and to Zechariah
<02148>_,
and to Nethaneel
<05417>_,
and to Michaiah
<04322>_,
to teach
<03925> (8763)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
17:8
And with them [he sent] Levites
<03881>_,
[even] Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and Zebadiah
<02069>_,
and Asahel
<06214>_,
and Shemiramoth
<08070>_,
and Jehonathan
<03083>_,
and Adonijah
<0138>_,
and Tobijah
<02900>_,
and Tobadonijah
<02899>_,
Levites
<03881>_;
and with them Elishama
<0476>
and Jehoram
<03088>_,
priests
<03548>_.
17:9
And they taught
<03925> (8762)
in Judah
<03063>_,
and [had] the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
with them, and went about
<05437> (8799)
throughout all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and taught
<03925> (8762)
the people
<05971>_.
17:10
And the fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>
fell upon all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the lands
<0776>
that [were] round about
<05439>
Judah
<03063>_,
so that they made no war
<03898> (8738)
against Jehoshaphat
<03092>_.
{fell: Heb. was}
17:11
Also [some] of the Philistines
<06430>
brought
<0935> (8688)
Jehoshaphat
<03092>
presents
<04503>_,
and tribute
<04853>
silver
<03701>_;
and the Arabians
<06163>
brought
<0935> (8688)
him flocks
<06629>_,
seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
rams
<0352>_,
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
he goats
<08495>_.
17:12
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
great
<01432>
exceedingly
<04605>_;
and he built
<01129> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>
castles
<01003>_,
and cities
<05892>
of store
<04543>_.
{castles: or, palaces}
17:13
And he had much
<07227>
business
<04399>
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_:
and the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
[were] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
17:14
And these [are] the numbers
<06486>
of them according to the house
<01004>
of their fathers
<01>_:
Of Judah
<03063>_,
the captains
<08269>
of thousands
<0505>_;
Adnah
<05734>
the chief
<08269>_,
and with him mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>_.
17:15
And next
<03027>
to him [was] Jehohanan
<03076>
the captain
<08269>_,
and with him two hundred
<03967>
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>_.
{next...: Heb. at his hand}
17:16
And next
<03027>
him [was] Amasiah
<06007>
the son
<01121>
of Zichri
<02147>_,
who willingly offered
<05068> (8693)
himself unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and with him two hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_.
17:17
And of Benjamin
<01144>_;
Eliada
<0450>
a mighty man
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
and with him armed men
<05401> (8802)
with bow
<07198>
and shield
<04043>
two hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>_.
17:18
And next
<03027>
him [was] Jehozabad
<03075>_,
and with him an hundred
<03967>
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>
ready prepared
<02502> (8803)
for the war
<06635>_.
17:19
These waited
<08334> (8764)
on the king
<04428>_,
beside [those] whom the king
<04428>
put
<05414> (8804)
in the fenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>
throughout all Judah
<03063>_.
18:1
Now Jehoshaphat
<03092>
had riches
<06239>
and honour
<03519>
in abundance
<07230>_,
and joined affinity
<02859> (8691)
with Ahab
<0256>_.
18:2
And after
<07093>
[certain] years
<08141>
he went down
<03381> (8799)
to Ahab
<0256>
to Samaria
<08111>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
killed
<02076> (8799)
sheep
<06629>
and oxen
<01241>
for him in abundance
<07230>_,
and for the people
<05971>
that [he had] with him, and persuaded
<05496> (8686)
him to go up
<05927> (8800)
[with him] to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.
{after...: Heb. at the end of years}
18:3
And Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with me to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)
him, I [am] as thou [art], and my people
<05971>
as thy people
<05971>_;
and [we will be] with thee in the war
<04421>_.
18:4
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Enquire
<01875> (8798)_,
I pray thee, at the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
to day
<03117>_.
18:5
Therefore the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered together
<06908> (8799)
of prophets
<05030>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Shall we go
<03212> (8799)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>
to battle
<04421>_,
or shall I forbear
<02308> (8799)_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_;
for God
<0430>
will deliver
<05414> (8799)
[it] into the king's
<04428>
hand
<03027>_.
18:6
But Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not here a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>
besides, that we might enquire
<01875> (8799)
of him? {besides: Heb. yet, or, more}
18:7
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
[There is] yet one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
by whom we may enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_:
but I hate
<08130> (8804)
him; for he never prophesied
<05012> (8693)
good
<02896>
unto me, but always
<03117>
evil
<07451>_:
the same [is] Micaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Imla
<03229>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let not the king
<04428>
say
<0559> (8799)
so.
18:8
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
called
<07121> (8799)
for one
<0259>
[of his] officers
<05631>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fetch quickly
<04116> (8761)
Micaiah
<04319>
the son
<01121>
of Imla
<03229>_.
{officers: or, eunuchs} {Fetch...: Heb. Hasten}
18:9
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
sat
<03427> (8802)
either
<0376>
of them on his throne
<03678>_,
clothed
<03847> (8794)
in [their] robes
<0899>_,
and they sat
<03427> (8802)
in a void place
<01637>
at the entering in
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of Samaria
<08111>_;
and all the prophets
<05030>
prophesied
<05012> (8693)
before
<06440>
them. {void...: or, floor}
18:10
And Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Chenaanah
<03668>
had made
<06213> (8799)
him horns
<07161>
of iron
<01270>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
With these thou shalt push
<05055> (8762)
Syria
<0758>
until they be consumed
<03615> (8763)_.
{they...: Heb. thou consume them}
18:11
And all the prophets
<05030>
prophesied
<05012> (8737)
so, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_,
and prosper
<06743> (8685)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
shall deliver
<05414> (8804)
[it] into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>_.
18:12
And the messenger
<04397>
that went
<01980> (8804)
to call
<07121> (8800)
Micaiah
<04321>
spake
<01696> (8765)
to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the words
<01697>
of the prophets
<05030>
[declare] good
<02896>
to the king
<04428>
with one
<0259>
assent
<06310>_;
let thy word
<01697>
therefore, I pray thee, be like one
<0259>
of theirs, and speak
<01696> (8765)
thou good
<02896>_.
{with...: Heb. with one mouth}
18:13
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
even what my God
<0430>
saith
<0559> (8799)_,
that will I speak
<01696> (8762)_.
18:14
And when he was come
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Micaiah
<04318>_,
shall we go
<03212> (8799)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>
to battle
<04421>_,
or shall I forbear
<02308> (8799)_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go ye up
<05927> (8798)_,
and prosper
<06743> (8685)_,
and they shall be delivered
<05414> (8735)
into your hand
<03027>_.
18:15
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, How many times
<06471>
shall I adjure
<07650> (8688)
thee that thou say
<01696> (8762)
nothing but the truth
<0571>
to me in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
18:16
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I did see
<07200> (8804)
all Israel
<03478>
scattered
<06327> (8737)
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
as sheep
<06629>
that have no shepherd
<07462> (8802)_:
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
These have no master
<0113>_;
let them return
<07725> (8799)
[therefore] every man
<0376>
to his house
<01004>
in peace
<07965>_.
18:17
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Did I not tell
<0559> (8804)
thee [that] he would not prophesy
<05012> (8691)
good
<02896>
unto me, but evil
<07451>_?
{but evil: or, but for evil}
18:18
Again he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
I saw
<07200> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
sitting
<03427> (8802)
upon his throne
<03678>_,
and all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
standing
<05975> (8802)
on his right hand
<03225>
and [on] his left
<08040>_.
18:19
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who shall entice
<06601> (8762)
Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that he may go up
<05927> (8799)
and fall
<05307> (8799)
at Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_?
And one spake
<0559> (8799)
saying
<0559> (8802)
after this manner
<03602>_,
and another saying
<0559> (8802)
after that manner
<03602>_.
18:20
Then there came out
<03318> (8799)
a spirit
<07307>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will entice
<06601> (8762)
him. And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Wherewith?
18:21
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go out
<03318> (8799)_,
and be a lying
<08267>
spirit
<07307>
in the mouth
<06310>
of all his prophets
<05030>_.
And [the LORD] said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt entice
<06601> (8762)
[him], and thou shalt also prevail
<03201> (8799)_:
go out
<03318> (8798)_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
[even] so.
18:22
Now therefore, behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath put
<05414> (8804)
a lying
<08267>
spirit
<07307>
in the mouth
<06310>
of these thy prophets
<05030>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
evil
<07451>
against thee.
18:23
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Chenaanah
<03668>
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Micaiah
<04321>
upon the cheek
<03895>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which
<0335>
way
<01870>
went
<05674> (8804)
the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
from me to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto thee?
18:24
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)
on that day
<03117>
when thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)
into an inner
<02315>
chamber
<02315>
to hide
<02244> (8736)
thyself. {into...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
18:25
Then the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
ye Micaiah
<04321>_,
and carry him back
<07725> (8685)
to Amon
<0526>
the governor
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
and to Joash
<03101>
the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>_;
18:26
And say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
Put
<07760> (8798)
this [fellow] in the prison
<01004> <03608>_,
and feed
<0398> (8685)
him with bread
<03899>
of affliction
<03906>
and with water
<04325>
of affliction
<03906>_,
until I return
<07725> (8800)
in peace
<07965>_.
18:27
And Micaiah
<04321>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
If thou certainly
<07725> (8800)
return
<07725> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_,
[then] hath not the LORD
<03068>
spoken
<01696> (8765)
by me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)_,
all ye people
<05971>_.
18:28
So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.
18:29
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
I will disguise
<02664> (8692)
myself, and will go
<0935> (8800)
to the battle
<04421>_;
but put
<03847> (8798)
thou on thy robes
<0899>_.
So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
disguised
<02664> (8691)
himself; and they went
<0935> (8799)
to the battle
<04421>_.
18:30
Now the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>
that [were] with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fight
<03898> (8735)
ye not with small
<06996>
or great
<01419>_,
save only with the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
18:31
And it came to pass, when the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
that they said
<0559> (8804)_,
It [is] the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Therefore they compassed about
<05437> (8799)
him to fight
<03898> (8736)_:
but Jehoshaphat
<03092>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
helped
<05826> (8804)
him; and God
<0430>
moved
<05496> (8686)
them [to depart] from him.
18:32
For it came to pass, that, when the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>
perceived
<07200> (8800)
that it was not the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
they turned back again
<07725> (8799)
from pursuing
<0310>
him. {from...: Heb. from after him}
18:33
And a [certain] man drew
<04900> (8804)
a bow
<07198>
at a venture
<08537>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
between the joints
<01694>
of the harness
<08302>_:
therefore he said
<0559> (8799)
to his chariot
<07395>
man
<0376>_,
Turn
<02015> (8798)
thine hand
<03027>_,
that thou mayest carry me out
<03318> (8689)
of the host
<04264>_;
for I am wounded
<02470> (8717)_.
{at a venture: Heb. in his simplicity} {between...: Heb. between the joints and between the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
18:34
And the battle
<04421>
increased
<05927> (8799)
that day
<03117>_:
howbeit the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
stayed [himself] up
<05975> (8689)
in [his] chariot
<04818>
against
<05227>
the Syrians
<0758>
until the even
<06153>_:
and about the time
<06256>
of the sun
<08121>
going down
<0935> (8800)
he died
<04191> (8799)_.
19:1
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
returned
<07725> (8799)
to his house
<01004>
in peace
<07965>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
19:2
And Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Hanani
<02607>
the seer
<02374>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<06440>
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
to king
<04428>
Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Shouldest thou help
<05826> (8800)
the ungodly
<07563>_,
and love
<0157> (8799)
them that hate
<08130> (8802)
the LORD
<03068>_?
therefore
<02063>
[is] wrath
<07110>
upon thee from before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
19:3
Nevertheless
<061>
there are good
<02896>
things
<01697>
found
<04672> (8738)
in thee, in that thou hast taken away
<01197> (8765)
the groves
<0842>
out of the land
<0776>_,
and hast prepared
<03559> (8689)
thine heart
<03824>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
God
<0430>_.
19:4
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and he went out
<03318> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
through the people
<05971>
from Beersheba
<0884>
to mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and brought them back
<07725> (8686)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{he went...: Heb. he returned and went out}
19:5
And he set
<05975> (8686)
judges
<08199> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
throughout all the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
city
<05892>
by city
<05892>_,
19:6
And said
<0559> (8799)
to the judges
<08199> (8802)_,
Take heed
<07200> (8798)
what ye do
<06213> (8802)_:
for ye judge
<08199> (8799)
not for man
<0120>_,
but for the LORD
<03068>_,
who [is] with you in the judgment
<01697> <04941>_.
{in...: Heb. in the matter of judgment}
19:7
Wherefore now let the fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>
be upon you; take heed
<08104> (8798)
and do
<06213> (8798)
[it]: for [there is] no iniquity
<05766>
with the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
nor respect
<04856>
of persons
<06440>_,
nor taking
<04727>
of gifts
<07810>_.
19:8
Moreover in Jerusalem
<03389>
did Jehoshaphat
<03092>
set
<05975> (8689)
of the Levites
<03881>_,
and [of] the priests
<03548>_,
and of the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
for the judgment
<04941>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and for controversies
<07379>_,
when they returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
19:9
And he charged
<06680> (8762)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shall ye do
<06213> (8799)
in the fear
<03374>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
faithfully
<0530>_,
and with a perfect
<08003>
heart
<03824>_.
19:10
And what cause
<07379>
soever shall come
<0935> (8799)
to you of your brethren
<0251>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in their cities
<05892>_,
between blood
<01818>
and blood
<01818>_,
between law
<08451>
and commandment
<04687>_,
statutes
<02706>
and judgments
<04941>_,
ye shall even warn
<02094> (8689)
them that they trespass
<0816> (8799)
not against the LORD
<03068>_,
and [so] wrath
<07110>
come upon you, and upon your brethren
<0251>_:
this
<03541>
do
<06213> (8799)_,
and ye shall not trespass
<0816> (8799)_.
19:11
And, behold, Amariah
<0568>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>
[is] over you in all matters
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and Zebadiah
<02069>
the son
<01121>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
the ruler
<05057>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_,
for all the king's
<04428>
matters
<01697>_:
also the Levites
<03881>
[shall be] officers
<07860> (8802)
before
<06440>
you. Deal
<06213> (8798)
courageously
<02388> (8798)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
shall be with the good
<02896>_.
{Deal...: Heb. Take courage and do}
20:1
It came to pass after this
<0310>
also, [that] the children
<01121>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and with them [other] beside the Ammonites
<05984>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
against Jehoshaphat
<03092>
to battle
<04421>_.
20:2
Then there came
<0935> (8799)
some that told
<05046> (8686)
Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There cometh
<0935> (8802)
a great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>
against thee from beyond
<05676>
the sea
<03220>
on this side Syria
<0758>_;
and, behold, they [be] in Hazazontamar
<02688>_,
which [is] Engedi
<05872>_.
20:3
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
feared
<03372> (8799)_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
himself
<06440>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)
a fast
<06685>
throughout
<05921>
all Judah
<03063>_.
{himself: Heb. his face}
20:4
And Judah
<03063>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)_,
to ask
<01245> (8763)
[help] of the LORD
<03068>_:
even out of all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
they came
<0935> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>_.
20:5
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in the congregation
<06951>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
before
<06440>
the new
<02319>
court
<02691>_,
20:6
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of our fathers
<01>_,
[art] not thou God
<0430>
in heaven
<08064>_?
and rulest
<04910> (8802)
[not] thou over all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the heathen
<01471>_?
and in thine hand
<03027>
[is there not] power
<03581>
and might
<01369>_,
so that none is able to withstand
<03320> (8692)
thee?
20:7
[Art] not thou our God
<0430>_,
[who] didst drive out
<03423> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of this land
<0776>
before
<06440>
thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and gavest
<05414> (8799)
it to the seed
<02233>
of Abraham
<085>
thy friend
<0157> (8802)
for ever
<05769>_?
{who: Heb. thou}
20:8
And they dwelt
<03427> (8799)
therein, and have built
<01129> (8799)
thee a sanctuary
<04720>
therein for thy name
<08034>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
20:9
If, [when] evil
<07451>
cometh
<0935> (8799)
upon us, [as] the sword
<02719>_,
judgment
<08196>_,
or pestilence
<01698>_,
or famine
<07458>_,
we stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
this house
<01004>_,
and in thy presence
<06440>_,
(for thy name
<08034>
[is] in this house
<01004>,)
and cry
<02199> (8799)
unto thee in our affliction
<06869>_,
then thou wilt hear
<08085> (8799)
and help
<03467> (8686)_.
20:10
And now, behold, the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
and Moab
<04124>
and mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
whom thou wouldest not let
<05414> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
invade
<0935> (8800)_,
when they came out
<0935> (8800)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
but they turned
<05493> (8804)
from them, and destroyed
<08045> (8689)
them not;
20:11
Behold, [I say, how] they reward
<01580> (8802)
us, to come
<0935> (8800)
to cast us out
<01644> (8763)
of thy possession
<03425>_,
which thou hast given us to inherit
<03423> (8689)_.
20:12
O our God
<0430>_,
wilt thou not judge
<08199> (8799)
them? for we have no might
<03581>
against
<06440>
this great
<07227>
company
<01995>
that cometh
<0935> (8802)
against us; neither know
<03045> (8799)
we
<0587>
what to do
<06213> (8799)_:
but our eyes
<05869>
[are] upon thee.
20:13
And all Judah
<03063>
stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
with
<01571>
their little ones
<02945>_,
their wives
<0802>_,
and their children
<01121>_.
20:14
Then upon Jahaziel
<03166>
the son
<01121>
of Zechariah
<02148>_,
the son
<01121>
of Benaiah
<01141>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jeiel
<03273>_,
the son
<01121>
of Mattaniah
<04983>_,
a Levite
<03881>
of the sons
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>_,
came the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the midst
<08432>
of the congregation
<06951>_;
20:15
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hearken
<07181> (8685)
ye, all Judah
<03063>_,
and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and thou king
<04428>
Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
unto you, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
nor dismayed
<02865> (8735)
by reason
<06440>
of this great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_;
for the battle
<04421>
[is] not yours, but God's
<0430>_.
20:16
To morrow
<04279>
go ye down
<03381> (8798)
against them: behold, they come up
<05927> (8802)
by the cliff
<04608>
of Ziz
<06732>_;
and ye shall find
<04672> (8804)
them at the end
<05490>
of the brook
<05158>_,
before
<06440>
the wilderness
<04057>
of Jeruel
<03385>_.
{cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
20:17
Ye shall not [need] to fight
<03898> (8736)
in this
<02063>
[battle]: set
<03320> (8690)
yourselves, stand
<05975> (8798)
ye [still], and see
<07200> (8798)
the salvation
<03444>
of the LORD
<03068>
with you, O Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_;
to morrow
<04279>
go out
<03318> (8798)
against
<06440>
them: for the LORD
<03068>
[will be] with you.
20:18
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
bowed
<06915> (8799)
his head with [his] face
<0639>
to the ground
<0776>_:
and all Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
fell
<05307> (8804)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
worshipping
<07812> (8692)
the LORD
<03068>_.
20:19
And the Levites
<03881>_,
of the children
<01121>
of the Kohathites
<06956>_,
and of the children
<01121>
of the Korhites
<07145>_,
stood up
<06965> (8799)
to praise
<01984> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>
on high
<04605>_.
20:20
And they rose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and went forth
<03318> (8799)
into the wilderness
<04057>
of Tekoa
<08620>_:
and as they went forth
<03318> (8800)_,
Jehoshaphat
<03092>
stood
<05975> (8804)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
me, O Judah
<03063>_,
and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
Believe
<0539> (8685)
in the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
so shall ye be established
<0539> (8735)_;
believe
<0539> (8685)
his prophets
<05030>_,
so shall ye prosper
<06743> (8685)_.
20:21
And when he had consulted
<03289> (8735)
with the people
<05971>_,
he appointed
<05975> (8686)
singers
<07891> (8789)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and that should praise
<01984> (8764)
the beauty
<01927>
of holiness
<06944>_,
as they went out
<03318> (8800)
before
<06440>
the army
<02502> (8803)_,
and to say
<0559> (8802)_,
Praise
<03034> (8685)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>_.
{that...: Heb. praisers}
20:22
And when
<06256>
they began
<02490> (8689)
to sing
<07440>
and to praise
<08416>_,
the LORD
<03068>
set
<05414> (8804)
ambushments
<0693> (8764)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
Moab
<04124>_,
and mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
which were come
<0935> (8802)
against Judah
<03063>_;
and they were smitten
<05062> (8735)_.
{And when...: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing...: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were...: or, they smote one another}
20:23
For the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
and Moab
<04124>
stood up
<05975> (8799)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
utterly to slay
<02763> (8687)
and destroy
<08045> (8687)
[them]: and when they had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Seir
<08165>_,
every one
<0376>
helped
<05826> (8804)
to destroy
<04889>
another
<07453>_.
{to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
20:24
And when Judah
<03063>
came
<0935> (8804)
toward the watch tower
<04707> (8677) <04708>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
they looked
<06437> (8799)
unto the multitude
<01995>_,
and, behold, they [were] dead bodies
<06297>
fallen
<05307> (8802)
to the earth
<0776>_,
and none escaped
<06413>_.
{none...: Heb. there was not an escaping}
20:25
And when Jehoshaphat
<03092>
and his people
<05971>
came
<0935> (8799)
to take away
<0962> (8800)
the spoil
<07998>
of them, they found
<04672> (8799)
among them in abundance
<07230>
both riches
<07399>
with the dead bodies
<06297>_,
and precious
<02532>
jewels
<03627>_,
which they stripped off
<05337> (8762)
for themselves, more than
<0369>
they could carry away
<04853>_:
and they were three
<07969>
days
<03117>
in gathering
<0962> (8802)
of the spoil
<07998>_,
it was so much
<07227>_.
20:26
And on the fourth
<07243>
day
<03117>
they assembled
<06950> (8738)
themselves in the valley
<06010>
of Berachah
<01294>_;
for there they blessed
<01288> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>_:
therefore the name
<08034>
of the same place
<04725>
was called
<07121> (8804)_,
The valley
<06010>
of Berachah
<01294>_,
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Berachah: that is, blessing}
20:27
Then they returned
<07725> (8799)_,
every man
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
in the forefront
<07218>
of them, to go again
<07725> (8800)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
with joy
<08057>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
had made them to rejoice
<08055> (8765)
over their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{forefront: Heb. head}
20:28
And they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
with psalteries
<05035>
and harps
<03658>
and trumpets
<02689>
unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
20:29
And the fear
<06343>
of God
<0430>
was on all the kingdoms
<04467>
of [those] countries
<0776>_,
when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
fought
<03898> (8738)
against the enemies
<0341> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_.
20:30
So the realm
<04438>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
was quiet
<08252> (8799)_:
for his God
<0430>
gave him rest
<05117> (8799)
round about
<05439>_.
20:31
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
over Judah
<03063>_:
[he was] thirty
<07970>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Azubah
<05806>
the daughter
<01323>
of Shilhi
<07977>_.
20:32
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of Asa
<0609>
his father
<01>_,
and departed
<05493> (8804)
not from it, doing
<06213> (8800)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
20:33
Howbeit the high places
<01116>
were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_:
for as yet the people
<05971>
had not prepared
<03559> (8689)
their hearts
<03824>
unto the God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
20:34
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<01697>
of Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Hanani
<02607>_,
who [is] mentioned
<05927> (8717)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}
20:35
And after
<0310>
this did Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
join
<02266> (8694)
himself with Ahaziah
<0274>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who did
<06213> (8800)
very wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:
20:36
And he joined
<02266> (8762)
himself with him to make
<06213> (8800)
ships
<0591>
to go
<03212> (8800)
to Tarshish
<08659>_:
and they made
<06213> (8799)
the ships
<0591>
in Eziongeber
<06100>_.
20:37
Then Eliezer
<0461>
the son
<01121>
of Dodavah
<01735>
of Mareshah
<04762>
prophesied
<05012> (8691)
against Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Because thou hast joined
<02266> (8692)
thyself with Ahaziah
<0274>_,
the LORD
<03068>
hath broken
<06555> (8804)
thy works
<04639>_.
And the ships
<0591>
were broken
<07665> (8735)_,
that they were not able
<06113> (8804)
to go
<03212> (8800)
to Tarshish
<08659>_.
21:1
Now Jehoshaphat
<03092>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And Jehoram
<03088>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
21:2
And he had brethren
<0251>
the sons
<01121>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
Azariah
<05838>_,
and Jehiel
<03171>_,
and Zechariah
<02148>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_,
and Michael
<04317>_,
and Shephatiah
<08203>_:
all these [were] the sons
<01121>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
21:3
And their father
<01>
gave
<05414> (8799)
them great
<07227>
gifts
<04979>
of silver
<03701>_,
and of gold
<02091>_,
and of precious things
<04030>_,
with fenced
<04694>
cities
<05892>
in Judah
<03063>_:
but the kingdom
<04467>
gave
<05414> (8804)
he to Jehoram
<03088>_;
because he [was] the firstborn
<01060>_.
21:4
Now when Jehoram
<03088>
was risen up
<06965> (8799)
to the kingdom
<04467>
of his father
<01>_,
he strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself, and slew
<02026> (8799)
all his brethren
<0251>
with the sword
<02719>_,
and [divers] also of the princes
<08269>
of Israel
<03478>_.
21:5
Jehoram
<03088>
[was] thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
21:6
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
like as did
<06213> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
for he had the daughter
<01323>
of Ahab
<0256>
to wife
<0802>_:
and he wrought
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
21:7
Howbeit the LORD
<03068>
would
<014> (8804)
not destroy
<07843> (8687)
the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_,
because of the covenant
<01285>
that he had made
<03772> (8804)
with David
<01732>_,
and as he promised
<0559> (8804)
to give
<05414> (8800)
a light
<05216>
to him and to his sons
<01121>
for ever
<03117>_.
{light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
21:8
In his days
<03117>
the Edomites
<0123>
revolted
<06586> (8804)
from under the dominion
<03027>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and made
<04427> (8686)
themselves a king
<04428>_.
{dominion: Heb. hand}
21:9
Then Jehoram
<03088>
went forth
<05674> (8799)
with his princes
<08269>_,
and all his chariots
<07393>
with him: and he rose up
<06965> (8804)
by night
<03915>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Edomites
<0123>
which compassed him in
<05437> (8802)_,
and the captains
<08269>
of the chariots
<07393>_.
21:10
So the Edomites
<0123>
revolted
<06586> (8799)
from under the hand
<03027>
of Judah
<03063>
unto this day
<03117>_.
The same time
<06256>
[also] did Libnah
<03841>
revolt
<06586> (8799)
from under his hand
<03027>_;
because he had forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_.
21:11
Moreover he made
<06213> (8804)
high places
<01116>
in the mountains
<02022>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and caused the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
to commit fornication
<02181> (8686)_,
and compelled
<05080> (8686)
Judah
<03063>
[thereto].
21:12
And there came
<0935> (8799)
a writing
<04385>
to him from Elijah
<0452>
the prophet
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
Because thou hast not walked
<01980> (8804)
in the ways
<01870>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
thy father
<01>_,
nor in the ways
<01870>
of Asa
<0609>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
21:13
But hast walked
<03212> (8799)
in the way
<01870>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and hast made Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
to go a whoring
<02181> (8686)_,
like to the whoredoms
<02181> (8687)
of the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
and also hast slain
<02026> (8804)
thy brethren
<0251>
of thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
[which were] better
<02896>
than thyself:
21:14
Behold, with a great
<01419>
plague
<04046>
will the LORD
<03068>
smite
<05062> (8802)
thy people
<05971>_,
and thy children
<01121>_,
and thy wives
<0802>_,
and all thy goods
<07399>_:
{a great...: Heb. a great stroke}
21:15
And thou [shalt have] great
<07227>
sickness
<02483>
by disease
<04245>
of thy bowels
<04578>_,
until thy bowels
<04578>
fall out
<03318> (8799)
by reason of the sickness
<02483>
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_.
21:16
Moreover the LORD
<03068>
stirred up
<05782> (8686)
against Jehoram
<03088>
the spirit
<07307>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and of the Arabians
<06163>_,
that [were] near
<05921> <03027>
the Ethiopians
<03569>_:
21:17
And they came up
<05927> (8799)
into Judah
<03063>_,
and brake
<01234> (8799)
into it, and carried away
<07617> (8799)
all the substance
<07399>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and his sons
<01121>
also, and his wives
<0802>_;
so that there was never a son
<01121>
left
<07604> (8738)
him, save Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
the youngest
<06996>
of his sons
<01121>_.
{carried...: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, or, Azariah}
21:18
And after
<0310>
all this the LORD
<03068>
smote
<05062> (8804)
him in his bowels
<04578>
with an incurable
<0369> <04832>
disease
<02483>_.
21:19
And it came to pass, that in process of time
<03117>_,
after
<03318> (8800) <06256>
the end
<07093>
of two
<08147>
years
<03117>_,
his bowels
<04578>
fell out
<03318> (8804)
by reason
<05973>
of his sickness
<02483>_:
so he died
<04191> (8799)
of sore
<07451>
diseases
<08463>_.
And his people
<05971>
made
<06213> (8804)
no burning
<08316>
for him, like the burning
<08316>
of his fathers
<01>_.
21:20
Thirty
<07970>
and two
<08147>
years old
<01121>
was he when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
without being desired
<02532>_.
Howbeit they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
but not in the sepulchres
<06913>
of the kings
<04428>_.
{without...: Heb. without desire}
22:1
And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
made
<04427> (0)
Ahaziah
<0274>
his youngest
<06996>
son
<01121>
king
<04427> (8686)
in his stead: for the band of men
<01416>
that came
<0935> (8802)
with the Arabians
<06163>
to the camp
<04264>
had slain
<02026> (8804)
all the eldest
<07223>_.
So Ahaziah
<0274>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoram
<03088>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
reigned
<04427> (8799)_.
22:2
Forty
<0705>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[was] Ahaziah
<0274>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
one
<0259>
year
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Athaliah
<06271>
the daughter
<01323>
of Omri
<06018>_.
22:3
He also walked
<01980> (8804)
in the ways
<01870>
of the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
for his mother
<0517>
was his counsellor
<03289> (8802)
to do wickedly
<07561> (8687)_.
22:4
Wherefore he did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
like the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
for they were his counsellors
<03289> (8802)
after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of his father
<01>
to his destruction
<04889>_.
22:5
He walked
<01980> (8804)
also after their counsel
<06098>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
with Jehoram
<03088>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
to war
<04421>
against Hazael
<02371>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
at Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_:
and the Syrians
<07421>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Joram
<03141>_.
22:6
And he returned
<07725> (8799)
to be healed
<07495> (8692)
in Jezreel
<03157>
because of the wounds
<04347>
which were given
<05221> (8689)
him at Ramah
<07414>_,
when he fought
<03898> (8736)
with Hazael
<02371>
king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_.
And Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoram
<03088>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
went down
<03381> (8804)
to see
<07200> (8800)
Jehoram
<03088>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
at Jezreel
<03157>_,
because he was sick
<02470> (8802)_.
{which...: Heb. wherewith they wounded him} {Azariah: also called, Ahaziah, or, Jehoahaz}
22:7
And the destruction
<08395>
of Ahaziah
<0274>
was of God
<0430>
by coming
<0935> (8800)
to Joram
<03141>_:
for when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,
he went out
<03318> (8804)
with Jehoram
<03088>
against Jehu
<03058>
the son
<01121>
of Nimshi
<05250>_,
whom the LORD
<03068>
had anointed
<04886> (8804)
to cut off
<03772> (8687)
the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_.
{destruction: Heb. treading down}
22:8
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu
<03058>
was executing judgment
<08199> (8736)
upon the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the sons
<01121>
of the brethren
<0251>
of Ahaziah
<0274>_,
that ministered
<08334> (8764)
to Ahaziah
<0274>_,
he slew
<02026> (8799)
them.
22:9
And he sought
<01245> (8762)
Ahaziah
<0274>_:
and they caught
<03920> (8799)
him, (for he was hid
<02244> (8693)
in Samaria
<08111>,)
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to Jehu
<03058>_:
and when they had slain
<04191> (8686)
him, they buried
<06912> (8799)
him: Because, said
<0559> (8804)
they, he [is] the son
<01121>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
who sought
<01875> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
with all his heart
<03824>_.
So the house
<01004>
of Ahaziah
<0274>
had no power
<03581>
to keep
<06113> (8800)
still the kingdom
<04467>_.
22:10
But when Athaliah
<06271>
the mother
<0517>
of Ahaziah
<0274>
saw
<07200> (8804)
that her son
<01121>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
she arose
<06965> (8799)
and destroyed
<01696> (8762)
all the seed
<02233>
royal
<04467>
of the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
22:11
But Jehoshabeath
<03090>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of the king
<04428>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
Joash
<03101>
the son
<01121>
of Ahaziah
<0274>_,
and stole
<01589> (8799)
him from among
<08432>
the king's
<04428>
sons
<01121>
that were slain
<04191> (8716)_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
him and his nurse
<03243> (8688)
in a bedchamber
<02315> <04296>_.
So Jehoshabeath
<03090>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of king
<04428>
Jehoram
<03088>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>_,
(for she was the sister
<0269>
of Ahaziah
<0274>,)
hid
<05641> (8686)
him from
<06440>
Athaliah
<06271>_,
so that she slew
<04191> (8689)
him not. {Jehoshabeath: also called, Jehosheba}
22:12
And he was with them hid
<02244> (8693)
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
six
<08337>
years
<08141>_:
and Athaliah
<06271>
reigned
<04427> (8802)
over the land
<0776>_.
23:1
And in the seventh
<07637>
year
<08141>
Jehoiada
<03077>
strengthened
<02388> (8694)
himself, and took
<03947> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>_,
Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Jeroham
<03395>_,
and Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Jehohanan
<03076>_,
and Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Obed
<05744>_,
and Maaseiah
<04641>
the son
<01121>
of Adaiah
<05718>_,
and Elishaphat
<0478>
the son
<01121>
of Zichri
<02147>_,
into covenant
<01285>
with him.
23:2
And they went about
<05437> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>_,
and gathered
<06908> (8799)
the Levites
<03881>
out of all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
23:3
And all the congregation
<06951>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with the king
<04428>
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Behold, the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
of the sons
<01121>
of David
<01732>_.
23:4
This [is] the thing
<01697>
that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_;
A third part
<07992>
of you entering
<0935> (8802)
on the sabbath
<07676>_,
of the priests
<03548>
and of the Levites
<03881>_,
[shall be] porters
<07778>
of the doors
<05592>_;
{doors: Heb. thresholds}
23:5
And a third part
<07992>
[shall be] at the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_;
and a third part
<07992>
at the gate
<08179>
of the foundation
<03247>_:
and all the people
<05971>
[shall be] in the courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
23:6
But let none come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
save the priests
<03548>_,
and they that minister
<08334> (8764)
of the Levites
<03881>_;
they shall go in
<0935> (8799)_,
for they [are] holy
<06944>_:
but all the people
<05971>
shall keep
<08104> (8799)
the watch
<04931>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
23:7
And the Levites
<03881>
shall compass
<05362> (8689)
the king
<04428>
round about
<05439>_,
every man
<0376>
with his weapons
<03627>
in his hand
<03027>_;
and whosoever [else] cometh
<0935> (8802)
into the house
<01004>_,
he shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:
but be ye with the king
<04428>
when he cometh in
<0935> (8800)_,
and when he goeth out
<03318> (8800)_.
23:8
So the Levites
<03881>
and all Judah
<03063>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to all things that Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his men
<0582>
that were to come in
<0935> (8802)
on the sabbath
<07676>_,
with them that were to go
<03318> (8802)
[out] on the sabbath
<07676>_:
for Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
dismissed
<06358> (8804)
not the courses
<04256>_.
23:9
Moreover Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
to the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>
spears
<02595>_,
and bucklers
<04043>_,
and shields
<07982>_,
that [had been] king
<04428>
David's
<01732>_,
which [were] in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
23:10
And he set
<05975> (8686)
all the people
<05971>_,
every man
<0376>
having his weapon
<07973>
in his hand
<03027>_,
from the right
<03233>
side
<03802>
of the temple
<01004>
to the left
<08042>
side
<03802>
of the temple
<01004>_,
along by the altar
<04196>
and the temple
<01004>_,
by the king
<04428>
round about
<05439>_.
{side: Heb. shoulder} {temple: Heb. house}
23:11
Then they brought out
<03318> (8686)
the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
upon him the crown
<05145>_,
and [gave him] the testimony
<05715>_,
and made him king
<04427> (8686)_.
And Jehoiada
<03077>
and his sons
<01121>
anointed
<04886> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God save
<02421> (8799)
the king
<04428>_.
{God...: Heb. Let the king live}
23:12
Now when Athaliah
<06271>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the people
<05971>
running
<07323> (8801)
and praising
<01984> (8764)
the king
<04428>_,
she came
<0935> (8799)
to the people
<05971>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
23:13
And she looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the king
<04428>
stood
<05975> (8802)
at his pillar
<05982>
at the entering in
<03996>_,
and the princes
<08269>
and the trumpets
<02689>
by the king
<04428>_:
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
rejoiced
<08056>_,
and sounded
<08628> (8802)
with trumpets
<02689>_,
also the singers
<07891> (8789)
with instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_,
and such as taught
<03045> (8688)
to sing praise
<01984> (8763)_.
Then Athaliah
<06271>
rent
<07167> (8799)
her clothes
<0899>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Treason
<07195>_,
Treason
<07195>_.
{Treason: Heb. Conspiracy}
23:14
Then Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>
brought out
<03318> (8686)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>
that were set over
<06485> (8803)
the host
<02428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Have her forth
<03318> (8685)
of the ranges
<01004> <07713>_:
and whoso followeth
<0935> (8802) <0310>
her, let him be slain
<04191> (8714)
with the sword
<02719>_.
For the priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
her not in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
23:15
So they laid
<07760> (8799)
hands
<03027>
on her; and when she was come
<0935> (8799)
to the entering
<03996>
of the horse
<05483>
gate
<08179>
by the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
they slew
<04191> (8686)
her there.
23:16
And Jehoiada
<03077>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
between him, and between all the people
<05971>_,
and between the king
<04428>_,
that they should be the LORD'S
<03068>
people
<05971>_.
23:17
Then all the people
<05971>
went
<0935> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of Baal
<01168>_,
and brake it down
<05422> (8799)_,
and brake
<07665> (0)
his altars
<04196>
and his images
<06754>
in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
Mattan
<04977>
the priest
<03548>
of Baal
<01168>
before
<06440>
the altars
<04196>_.
23:18
Also Jehoiada
<03077>
appointed
<07760> (8799)
the offices
<06486>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
by the hand
<03027>
of the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>_,
whom David
<01732>
had distributed
<02505> (8804)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to offer
<05927> (8687)
the burnt offerings
<05930>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
with rejoicing
<08057>
and with singing
<07892>_,
[as it was ordained] by
<03027>
David
<01732>_.
{as it was...: Heb. by the hands of David}
23:19
And he set
<05975> (8686)
the porters
<07778>
at the gates
<08179>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that none [which was] unclean
<02931>
in any thing
<01697>
should enter in
<0935> (8799)_.
23:20
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the captains
<08269>
of hundreds
<03967>_,
and the nobles
<0117>_,
and the governors
<04910> (8802)
of the people
<05971>_,
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
and brought down
<03381> (8686)
the king
<04428>
from the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and they came
<0935> (8799)
through
<08432>
the high
<05945>
gate
<08179>
into the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and set
<03427> (8686)
the king
<04428>
upon the throne
<03678>
of the kingdom
<04467>_.
23:21
And all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_:
and the city
<05892>
was quiet
<08252> (8804)_,
after that they had slain
<04191> (8689)
Athaliah
<06271>
with the sword
<02719>_.
24:1
Joash
<03101>
[was] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Zibiah
<06645>
of Beersheba
<0884>_.
24:2
And Joash
<03101>
did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
all the days
<03117>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>_.
24:3
And Jehoiada
<03077>
took
<05375> (8799)
for him two
<08147>
wives
<0802>_;
and he begat
<03205> (8686)
sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>_.
24:4
And it came to pass after
<0310>
this, [that] Joash
<03101>
was minded
<03820>
to repair
<02318> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{to repair: Heb. to renew}
24:5
And he gathered together
<06908> (8799)
the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to them, Go out
<03318> (8798)
unto the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and gather
<06908> (8798)
of all Israel
<03478>
money
<03701>
to repair
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of your God
<0430>
from
<01767>
year
<08141>
to year
<08141>_,
and see that ye hasten
<04116> (8762)
the matter
<01697>_.
Howbeit the Levites
<03881>
hastened
<04116> (8765)
[it] not.
24:6
And the king
<04428>
called
<07121> (8799)
for Jehoiada
<03077>
the chief
<07218>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why hast thou not required
<01875> (8804)
of the Levites
<03881>
to bring in
<0935> (8687)
out of Judah
<03063>
and out of Jerusalem
<03389>
the collection
<04864>_,
[according to the commandment] of Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and of the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_,
for the tabernacle
<0168>
of witness
<05715>_?
24:7
For the sons
<01121>
of Athaliah
<06271>_,
that wicked
<04849>
woman, had broken up
<06555> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_;
and also all the dedicated things
<06944>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
did they bestow
<06213> (8804)
upon Baalim
<01168>_.
24:8
And at the king's
<04428>
commandment
<0559> (8799)
they made
<06213> (8799)
a
<0259>
chest
<0727>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
it without
<02351>
at the gate
<08179>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
24:9
And they made
<05414> (8799)
a proclamation
<06963>
through Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to bring in
<0935> (8687)
to the LORD
<03068>
the collection
<04864>
[that] Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of God
<0430>
[laid] upon Israel
<03478>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
{a proclamation: Heb. a voice}
24:10
And all the princes
<08269>
and all the people
<05971>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_,
and brought in
<0935> (8686)_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
into the chest
<0727>_,
until they had made an end
<03615> (8763)_.
24:11
Now it came to pass, that at what time
<06256>
the chest
<0727>
was brought
<0935> (8686)
unto the king's
<04428>
office
<06486>
by the hand
<03027>
of the Levites
<03881>_,
and when they saw
<07200> (8800)
that [there was] much
<07227>
money
<03701>_,
the king's
<04428>
scribe
<05608> (8802)
and the high
<07218>
priest's
<03548>
officer
<06496>
came
<0935> (8804)
and emptied
<06168> (8762)
the chest
<0727>_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
it, and carried
<07725> (0)
it to his place
<04725>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
Thus they did
<06213> (8804)
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_,
and gathered
<0622> (8799)
money
<03701>
in abundance
<07230>_.
24:12
And the king
<04428>
and Jehoiada
<03077>
gave
<05414> (8799)
it to such as did
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
of the service
<05656>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and hired
<07936> (8802)
masons
<02672> (8802)
and carpenters
<02796>
to repair
<02318> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and also such as wrought
<02796>
iron
<01270>
and brass
<05178>
to mend
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
24:13
So the workmen
<04399> <06213> (8802)
wrought
<06213> (8799)_,
and the work
<04399>
was
<05927> (8799)
perfected
<0724>
by them
<03027>_,
and they set
<05975> (8686)
the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
in his state
<04971>_,
and strengthened
<0553> (8762)
it. {the work...: Heb. the healing went up upon the work}
24:14
And when they had finished
<03615> (8763)
[it], they brought
<0935> (8689)
the rest
<07605>
of the money
<03701>
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
and Jehoiada
<03077>_,
whereof were made
<06213> (8799)
vessels
<03627>
for the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] vessels
<03627>
to minister
<08335>_,
and to offer
<05927> (8687)
[withal], and spoons
<03709>_,
and vessels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>_.
And they offered
<05927> (8688)
burnt offerings
<05930>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
continually
<08548>
all the days
<03117>
of Jehoiada
<03077>_.
{to offer...: or, pestils}
24:15
But Jehoiada
<03077>
waxed old
<02204> (8799)_,
and was full
<07646> (8799)
of days
<03117>
when he died
<04191> (8799)_;
an hundred
<03967>
and thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[was he] when he died
<04194>_.
24:16
And they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
among the kings
<04428>_,
because he had done
<06213> (8804)
good
<02896>
in Israel
<03478>_,
both toward God
<0430>_,
and toward his house
<01004>_.
24:17
Now after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
came
<0935> (8804)
the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and made obeisance
<07812> (8691)
to the king
<04428>_.
Then the king
<04428>
hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto them.
24:18
And they left
<05800> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
groves
<0842>
and idols
<06091>_:
and wrath
<07110>
came upon Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
for this their trespass
<0819>_.
24:19
Yet he sent
<07971> (8799)
prophets
<05030>
to them, to bring them again
<07725> (8687)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and they testified
<05749> (8686)
against them: but they would not give ear
<0238> (8689)_.
24:20
And the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came
<03847> (8804)
upon Zechariah
<02148>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>_,
which stood
<05975> (8799)
above the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
God
<0430>_,
Why transgress
<05674> (8802)
ye the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that ye cannot prosper
<06743> (8686)_?
because ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
he hath also forsaken
<05800> (8799)
you. {came...: Heb. clothed}
24:21
And they conspired
<07194> (8799)
against him, and stoned
<07275> (8799)
him with stones
<068>
at the commandment
<04687>
of the king
<04428>
in the court
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
24:22
Thus Joash
<03101>
the king
<04428>
remembered
<02142> (8804)
not the kindness
<02617>
which Jehoiada
<03077>
his father
<01>
had done
<06213> (8804)
to him, but slew
<02026> (8799)
his son
<01121>_.
And when he died
<04194>_,
he said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
look
<07200> (8799)
upon [it], and require
<01875> (8799)
[it].
24:23
And it came to pass at the end
<08622>
of the year
<08141>_,
[that] the host
<02428>
of Syria
<0758>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against him: and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and destroyed
<07843> (8686)
all the princes
<08269>
of the people
<05971>
from among the people
<05971>_,
and sent
<07971> (8765)
all the spoil
<07998>
of them unto the king
<04428>
of Damascus
<01834>_.
{at the...: Heb. in the revolution of the year} {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
24:24
For the army
<02428>
of the Syrians
<0758>
came
<0935> (8804)
with a small
<04705>
company of men
<0582>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8804)
a very
<03966>
great
<07230>
host
<02428>
into their hand
<03027>_,
because they had forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
So they executed
<06213> (8804)
judgment
<08201>
against Joash
<03101>_.
24:25
And when they were departed
<03212> (8800)
from him, (for they left
<05800> (8804)
him in great
<07227>
diseases
<04251>,)
his own servants
<05650>
conspired
<07194> (8694)
against him for the blood
<01818>
of the sons
<01121>
of Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
him on his bed
<04296>_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_:
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
but they buried
<06912> (8804)
him not in the sepulchres
<06913>
of the kings
<04428>_.
24:26
And these are they that conspired
<07194> (8693)
against him; Zabad
<02066>
the son
<01121>
of Shimeath
<08100>
an Ammonitess
<05985>_,
and Jehozabad
<03075>
the son
<01121>
of Shimrith
<08116>
a Moabitess
<04125>_.
{Zabad: or, Jozacher} {Shimrith: or, Shomer}
24:27
Now [concerning] his sons
<01121>_,
and the greatness
<07235> (8799) (8675) <07230>
of the burdens
<04853>
[laid] upon him, and the repairing
<03247>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the story
<04097>
of the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>_.
And Amaziah
<0558>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {repairing: Heb. founding} {story: or, commentary}
25:1
Amaziah
<0558>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[when] he began to reign
<04427> (8804)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
twenty
<06242>
and nine
<08672>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Jehoaddan
<03086>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
25:2
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but not with a perfect
<08003>
heart
<03824>_.
25:3
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom
<04467>
was established
<02388> (8804)
to him, that he slew
<02026> (8799)
his servants
<05650>
that had killed
<05221> (8688)
the king
<04428>
his father
<01>_.
{established...: Heb. confirmed upon him}
25:4
But he slew
<04191> (8689)
not their children
<01121>_,
but [did] as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
in the book
<05612>
of Moses
<04872>_,
where the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The fathers
<01>
shall not die
<04191> (8799)
for the children
<01121>_,
neither shall the children
<01121>
die
<04191> (8799)
for the fathers
<01>_,
but every man
<0376>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
for his own sin
<02399>_.
25:5
Moreover Amaziah
<0558>
gathered
<06908> (0)
Judah
<03063>
together
<06908> (8799)_,
and made
<05975> (8686)
them captains
<08269>
over thousands
<0505>_,
and captains
<08269>
over hundreds
<03967>_,
according to the houses
<01004>
of [their] fathers
<01>_,
throughout all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_:
and he numbered
<06485> (8799)
them from twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and above
<04605>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
them three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
choice
<0977> (8803)
[men, able] to go forth
<03318> (8802)
to war
<06635>_,
that could handle
<0270> (8802)
spear
<07420>
and shield
<06793>_.
25:6
He hired
<07936> (8799)
also an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
mighty
<01368>
men of valour
<02428>
out of Israel
<03478>
for an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_.
25:7
But there came
<0935> (8804)
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
O king
<04428>_,
let not the army
<06635>
of Israel
<03478>
go
<0935> (8799)
with thee; for the LORD
<03068>
[is] not with Israel
<03478>_,
[to wit, with] all the children
<01121>
of Ephraim
<0669>_.
25:8
But if thou wilt go
<0935> (8798)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
[it], be strong
<02388> (8798)
for the battle
<04421>_:
God
<0430>
shall make thee fall
<03782> (8686)
before
<06440>
the enemy
<0341> (8802)_:
for God
<0430>
hath
<03426>
power
<03581>
to help
<05826> (8800)_,
and to cast down
<03782> (8687)_.
25:9
And Amaziah
<0558>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
But what shall we do
<06213> (8800)
for the hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
to the army
<01416>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
The LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
able to give
<05414> (8800)
thee much more
<07235> (8687)
than this. {army: Heb. band}
25:10
Then Amaziah
<0558>
separated
<0914> (8686)
them, [to wit], the army
<01416>
that was come
<0935> (8804)
to him out of Ephraim
<0669>_,
to go
<03212> (0)
home
<04725>
again
<03212> (8800)_:
wherefore their anger
<0639>
was greatly
<03966>
kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Judah
<03063>_,
and they returned
<07725> (8799)
home
<04725>
in great
<02750>
anger
<0639>_.
{home again: Heb. to their place} {in great...: Heb. in heat of anger}
25:11
And Amaziah
<0558>
strengthened
<02388> (8694)
himself, and led forth
<05090> (8799)
his people
<05971>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to the valley
<01516>
of salt
<04417>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
of the children
<01121>
of Seir
<08165>
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>_.
25:12
And [other] ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
[left] alive
<02416>
did the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
carry away captive
<07617> (8804)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto the top
<07218>
of the rock
<05553>_,
and cast them down
<07993> (8686)
from the top
<07218>
of the rock
<05553>_,
that they all were broken in pieces
<01234> (8738)_.
25:13
But the soldiers
<01121>
of the army
<01416>
which Amaziah
<0558>
sent back
<07725> (8689)_,
that they should not go
<03212> (8800)
with him to battle
<04421>_,
fell
<06584> (8799)
upon the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
from Samaria
<08111>
even unto Bethhoron
<01032>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
of them, and took
<0962> (8799)
much
<07227>
spoil
<0961>_.
{the soldiers...: Heb. the sons of the band}
25:14
Now it came to pass, after
<0310>
that Amaziah
<0558>
was come
<0935> (8800)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of the Edomites
<0130>_,
that he brought
<0935> (8686)
the gods
<0430>
of the children
<01121>
of Seir
<08165>_,
and set them up
<05975> (8686)
[to be] his gods
<0430>_,
and bowed down
<07812> (8691)
himself before
<06440>
them, and burned incense
<06999> (8762)
unto them.
25:15
Wherefore the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Amaziah
<0558>_,
and he sent
<07971> (8799)
unto him a prophet
<05030>_,
which said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why hast thou sought
<01875> (8804)
after the gods
<0430>
of the people
<05971>_,
which could not deliver
<05337> (8689)
their own people
<05971>
out of thine hand
<03027>_?
25:16
And it came to pass, as he talked
<01696> (8763)
with him, that [the king] said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Art thou made
<05414> (8804)
of the king's
<04428>
counsel
<03289> (8802)_?
forbear
<02308> (8798)_;
why shouldest thou be smitten
<05221> (8686)_?
Then the prophet
<05030>
forbare
<02308> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
that God
<0430>
hath determined
<03289> (8804)
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
thee, because thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
this, and hast not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto my counsel
<06098>_.
{determined: Heb. counselled}
25:17
Then Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
took advice
<03289> (8735)_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
to Joash
<03101>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehu
<03058>_,
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
let us see one another
<07200> (8691)
in the face
<06440>_.
25:18
And Joash
<03101>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The thistle
<02336>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>
sent
<07971> (8804)
to the cedar
<0730>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
thy daughter
<01323>
to my son
<01121>
to wife
<0802>_:
and there passed by
<05674> (8799)
a wild
<07704>
beast
<02416>
that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,
and trode down
<07429> (8799)
the thistle
<02336>_.
{thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild...: Heb. a beast of the field}
25:19
Thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,
Lo, thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689)
the Edomites
<0123>_;
and thine heart
<03820>
lifteth thee up
<05375> (8804)
to boast
<03513> (8687)_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
now at home
<01004>_;
why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)
to [thine] hurt
<07451>_,
that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804)_,
[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>
with thee?
25:20
But Amaziah
<0558>
would not hear
<08085> (8804)_;
for it [came] of God
<0430>_,
that he might deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
[of their enemies], because they sought
<01875> (8804)
after the gods
<0430>
of Edom
<0123>_.
25:21
So Joash
<03101>
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went up
<05927> (8799)_;
and they saw one another
<07200> (8691)
in the face
<06440>_,
[both] he and Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.
25:22
And Judah
<03063>
was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_,
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
every man
<0376>
to his tent
<0168>_.
{put...: Heb. smitten}
25:23
And Joash
<03101>
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
took
<08610> (8804)
Amaziah
<0558>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,
at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and brake down
<06555> (8799)
the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
from the gate
<08179>
of Ephraim
<0669>
to the corner
<06437> (8802)
gate
<08179>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
cubits
<0520>_.
{the corner...: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}
25:24
And [he took] all the gold
<02091>
and the silver
<03701>_,
and all the vessels
<03627>
that were found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
with Obededom
<05654>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
the hostages
<01121> <08594>
also, and returned
<07725> (8799)
to Samaria
<08111>_.
25:25
And Amaziah
<0558>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
lived
<02421> (8799)
after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Joash
<03101>
son
<01121>
of Jehoahaz
<03059>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
fifteen
<02568> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
25:26
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Amaziah
<0558>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
behold, [are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_?
25:27
Now after the time
<06256>
that Amaziah
<0558>
did turn away
<05493> (8804)
from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>
they made
<07194> (8799)
a conspiracy
<07195>
against him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and he fled
<05127> (8799)
to Lachish
<03923>_:
but they sent
<07971> (8799)
to Lachish
<03923>
after
<0310>
him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
him there. {from...: Heb. from after} {made...: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
25:28
And they brought
<05375> (8799)
him upon horses
<05483>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him with his fathers
<01>
in the city
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
{Judah: that is, the city of David}
26:1
Then all the people
<05971>
of Judah
<03063>
took
<03947> (8799)
Uzziah
<05818>_,
who [was] sixteen
<08337> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
and made him king
<04427> (8686)
in the room of his father
<01>
Amaziah
<0558>_.
{Uzziah: or, Azariah}
26:2
He built
<01129> (8804)
Eloth
<0359>_,
and restored
<07725> (8686)
it to Judah
<03063>_,
after
<0310>
that the king
<04428>
slept
<07901> (8800)
with his fathers
<01>_.
26:3
Sixteen
<08337> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
[was] Uzziah
<05818>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
fifty
<02572>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Jecoliah
<03203>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
26:4
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that his father
<01>
Amaziah
<0558>
did
<06213> (8804)_.
26:5
And he sought
<01875> (8800)
God
<0430>
in the days
<03117>
of Zechariah
<02148>_,
who had understanding
<0995> (8688)
in the visions
<07200> (8800)
of God
<0430>_:
and as long as
<03117>
he sought
<01875> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_,
God
<0430>
made him to prosper
<06743> (8689)_.
{in the visions...: Heb. in the seeing of God}
26:6
And he went forth
<03318> (8799)
and warred
<03898> (8735)
against the Philistines
<06430>_,
and brake down
<06555> (8799)
the wall
<02346>
of Gath
<01661>_,
and the wall
<02346>
of Jabneh
<02996>_,
and the wall
<02346>
of Ashdod
<0795>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
cities
<05892>
about Ashdod
<0795>_,
and among the Philistines
<06430>_.
{about...: or, in the country of Ashdod}
26:7
And God
<0430>
helped
<05826> (8799)
him against the Philistines
<06430>_,
and against the Arabians
<06163>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Gurbaal
<01485>_,
and the Mehunims
<04586>_.
26:8
And the Ammonites
<05984>
gave
<05414> (8799)
gifts
<04503>
to Uzziah
<05818>_:
and his name
<08034>
spread abroad
<03212> (8799)
[even] to the entering
<0935> (8800)
in of Egypt
<04714>_;
for he strengthened
<02388> (8689)
[himself] exceedingly
<04605>_.
{spread...: Heb. went}
26:9
Moreover Uzziah
<05818>
built
<01129> (8799)
towers
<04026>
in Jerusalem
<03389>
at the corner
<06438>
gate
<08179>_,
and at the valley
<01516>
gate
<08179>_,
and at the turning
<04740>
[of the wall], and fortified
<02388> (8762)
them. {fortified: or, repaired}
26:10
Also he built
<01129> (8799)
towers
<04026>
in the desert
<04057>_,
and digged
<02672> (8799)
many
<07227>
wells
<0953>_:
for he had much
<07227>
cattle
<04735>_,
both in the low country
<08219>_,
and in the plains
<04334>_:
husbandmen
<0406>
[also], and vine dressers
<03755>
in the mountains
<02022>_,
and in Carmel
<03760>_:
for he loved
<0157> (8802)
husbandry
<0127>_.
{digged...: or, cut out many cisterns} {Carmel: or, fruitful fields} {husbandry: Heb. ground}
26:11
Moreover Uzziah
<05818>
had an host
<02428>
of fighting
<04421>
men
<06213> (8802)_,
that went out
<03318> (8802)
to war
<06635>
by bands
<01416>_,
according to the number
<04557>
of their account
<06486>
by the hand
<03027>
of Jeiel
<03273>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
and Maaseiah
<04641>
the ruler
<07860> (8802)_,
under the hand
<03027>
of Hananiah
<02608>_,
[one] of the king's
<04428>
captains
<08269>_.
26:12
The whole number
<04557>
of the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of the mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>
[were] two thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>_.
26:13
And under their hand
<03027>
[was] an army
<02428> <06635>_,
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
and five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>_,
that made
<06213> (8802)
war
<04421>
with mighty
<02428>
power
<03581>_,
to help
<05826> (8800)
the king
<04428>
against the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.
{an army: Heb. the power of an army}
26:14
And Uzziah
<05818>
prepared
<03559> (8686)
for them throughout all the host
<06635>
shields
<04043>_,
and spears
<07420>_,
and helmets
<03553>_,
and habergeons
<08302>_,
and bows
<07198>_,
and slings
<07050>
[to cast] stones
<068>_.
{slings...: Heb. stones of slings}
26:15
And he made
<06213> (8799)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
engines
<02810>_,
invented
<04284>
by cunning men
<02803> (8802)_,
to be on the towers
<04026>
and upon the bulwarks
<06438>_,
to shoot
<03384> (8800)
arrows
<02671>
and great
<01419>
stones
<068>
withal. And his name
<08034>
spread
<03318> (8799)
far abroad
<07350>_;
for he was marvellously
<06381> (8689)
helped
<05826> (8736)_,
till
<03588>
he was strong
<02388> (8804)_.
{spread: Heb. went forth}
26:16
But when he was strong
<02393>_,
his heart
<03820>
was lifted up
<01361> (8804)
to [his] destruction
<07843> (8687)_:
for he transgressed
<04603> (8799)
against the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>
to burn incense
<06999> (8687)
upon the altar
<04196>
of incense
<07004>_.
26:17
And Azariah
<05838>
the priest
<03548>
went in
<0935> (8799)
after
<0310>
him, and with him fourscore
<08084>
priests
<03548>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[that were] valiant
<02428>
men
<01121>_:
26:18
And they withstood
<05975> (8799)
Uzziah
<05818>
the king
<04428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah
<05818>_,
to burn incense
<06999> (8687)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
but to the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
that are consecrated
<06942> (8794)
to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_:
go out
<03318> (8798)
of the sanctuary
<04720>_;
for thou hast trespassed
<04603> (8804)_;
neither [shall it be] for thine honour
<03519>
from the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_.
26:19
Then Uzziah
<05818>
was wroth
<02196> (8799)_,
and [had] a censer
<04730>
in his hand
<03027>
to burn incense
<06999> (8687)_:
and while he was wroth
<02196> (8800)
with the priests
<03548>_,
the leprosy
<06883>
even rose up
<02224> (8804)
in his forehead
<04696>
before
<06440>
the priests
<03548>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
from beside the incense
<07004>
altar
<04196>_.
26:20
And Azariah
<05838>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>_,
and all the priests
<03548>_,
looked
<06437> (8799)
upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous
<06879> (8794)
in his forehead
<04696>_,
and they thrust him out
<0926> (8686)
from thence; yea, himself hasted
<01765> (8738)
also to go out
<03318> (8800)_,
because the LORD
<03068>
had smitten
<05060> (8765)
him.
26:21
And Uzziah
<05818>
the king
<04428>
was a leper
<06879> (8794)
unto the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_,
and dwelt in
<03427> (8799)
a several
<02669> (8675) <02669>
house
<01004>_,
[being] a leper
<06879> (8794)_;
for he was cut off
<01504> (8738)
from the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and Jotham
<03147>
his son
<01121>
[was] over the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
judging
<08199> (8802)
the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
{several: Heb. free}
26:22
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Uzziah
<05818>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
did Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>_,
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
write
<03789> (8804)_.
26:23
So Uzziah
<05818>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him with his fathers
<01>
in the field
<07704>
of the burial
<06900>
which [belonged] to the kings
<04428>_;
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
He [is] a leper
<06879> (8794)_:
and Jotham
<03147>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
27:1
Jotham
<03147>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
sixteen
<08337> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
His mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
also [was] Jerushah
<03388>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Zadok
<06659>_.
27:2
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that his father
<01>
Uzziah
<05818>
did
<06213> (8804)_:
howbeit he entered
<0935> (8804)
not into the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the people
<05971>
did yet corruptly
<07843> (8688)_.
27:3
He built
<01129> (8804)
the high
<05945>
gate
<08179>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and on the wall
<02346>
of Ophel
<06077>
he built
<01129> (8804)
much
<07230>_.
{Ophel: or, the tower}
27:4
Moreover he built
<01129> (8804)
cities
<05892>
in the mountains
<02022>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the forests
<02793>
he built
<01129> (8804)
castles
<01003>
and towers
<04026>_.
27:5
He fought
<03898> (8738)
also with the king
<04428>
of the Ammonites
<05984>_,
and prevailed
<02388> (8799)
against them. And the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
gave
<05414> (8799)
him the same year
<08141>
an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>_,
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
measures
<03734>
of wheat
<02406>_,
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
of barley
<08184>_.
So much did the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
pay
<07725> (8689)
unto
<02063>
him, both the second
<08145>
year
<08141>_,
and the third
<07992>_.
{So...: Heb. This}
27:6
So Jotham
<03147>
became mighty
<02388> (8691)_,
because he prepared
<03559> (8689)
his ways
<01870>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_.
{prepared: or, established}
27:7
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Jotham
<03147>_,
and all his wars
<04421>_,
and his ways
<01870>_,
lo, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_.
27:8
He was five
<02568>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
sixteen
<08337> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
27:9
And Jotham
<03147>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_:
and Ahaz
<0271>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
28:1
Ahaz
<0271>
[was] twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
sixteen
<08337> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
but he did
<06213> (8804)
not [that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
like David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
28:2
For he walked in
<03212> (8799)
the ways
<01870>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and made
<06213> (8804)
also molten images
<04541>
for Baalim
<01168>_.
28:3
Moreover he burnt incense
<06999> (8689)
in the valley
<01516>
of the son
<01121>
of Hinnom
<02011>_,
and burnt
<01197> (8686)
his children
<01121>
in the fire
<0784>_,
after the abominations
<08441>
of the heathen
<01471>
whom the LORD
<03068>
had cast out
<03423> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{burnt...: or, offered sacrifice}
28:4
He sacrificed
<02076> (8762)
also and burnt incense
<06999> (8762)
in the high places
<01116>_,
and on the hills
<01389>_,
and under every green
<07488>
tree
<06086>_.
28:5
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
him into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_;
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
him, and carried away
<07617> (8799)
a great multitude
<01419>
of them captives
<07633>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[them] to Damascus
<01834>_.
And he was also delivered
<05414> (8737)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who smote
<05221> (8686)
him with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_.
{Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
28:6
For Pekah
<06492>
the son
<01121>
of Remaliah
<07425>
slew
<02026> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>
an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_,
[which were] all valiant
<02428>
men
<01121>_;
because they had forsaken
<05800> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{valiant...: Heb. sons of valour}
28:7
And Zichri
<02147>_,
a mighty man
<01368>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
slew
<02026> (8799)
Maaseiah
<04641>
the king's
<04428>
son
<01121>_,
and Azrikam
<05840>
the governor
<05057>
of the house
<01004>_,
and Elkanah
<0511>
[that was] next
<04932>
to the king
<04428>_.
{next...: Heb. the second to the king}
28:8
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
carried away captive
<07617> (8799)
of their brethren
<0251>
two hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>_,
women
<0802>_,
sons
<01121>_,
and daughters
<01323>_,
and took also away
<0962> (8804)
much
<07227>
spoil
<07998>
from them, and brought
<0935> (8686)
the spoil
<07998>
to Samaria
<08111>_.
28:9
But a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>
was there, whose name
<08034>
[was] Oded
<05752>_:
and he went out
<03318> (8799)
before
<06440>
the host
<06635>
that came
<0935> (8802)
to Samaria
<08111>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Behold, because the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of your fathers
<01>
was wroth
<02534>
with Judah
<03063>_,
he hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into your hand
<03027>_,
and ye have slain
<02026> (8799)
them in a rage
<02197>
[that] reacheth up
<05060> (8689)
unto heaven
<08064>_.
28:10
And now ye purpose
<0559> (8802)
to keep under
<03533> (8800)
the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
for bondmen
<05650>
and bondwomen
<08198>
unto you: [but are there] not with you, even
<07535>
with you, sins
<0819>
against the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_?
28:11
Now hear
<08085> (8798)
me therefore, and deliver
<07725> (8685)
the captives
<07633>
again, which ye have taken captive
<07617> (8804)
of your brethren
<0251>_:
for the fierce
<02740>
wrath
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] upon you.
28:12
Then certain
<0582>
of the heads
<07218>
of the children
<01121>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Johanan
<03076>_,
Berechiah
<01296>
the son
<01121>
of Meshillemoth
<04919>_,
and Jehizkiah
<03169>
the son
<01121>
of Shallum
<07967>_,
and Amasa
<06021>
the son
<01121>
of Hadlai
<02311>_,
stood up
<06965> (8799)
against them that came
<0935> (8802)
from the war
<06635>_,
28:13
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye shall not bring in
<0935> (8686)
the captives
<07633>
hither: for whereas we have offended
<0819>
against the LORD
<03068>
[already], ye intend
<0559> (8802)
to add
<03254> (8687)
[more] to our sins
<02403>
and to our trespass
<0819>_:
for our trespass
<0819>
is great
<07227>_,
and [there is] fierce
<02740>
wrath
<0639>
against Israel
<03478>_.
28:14
So the armed men
<02502> (8803)
left
<05800> (8799)
the captives
<07633>
and the spoil
<0961>
before
<06440>
the princes
<08269>
and all the congregation
<06951>_.
28:15
And the men
<0582>
which were expressed
<05344> (8738)
by name
<08034>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and took
<02388> (8686)
the captives
<07633>_,
and with the spoil
<07998>
clothed
<03847> (8689)
all that were naked
<04636>
among them, and arrayed
<03847> (8686)
them, and shod
<05274> (8686)
them, and gave them to eat
<0398> (8686)
and to drink
<08248> (8686)_,
and anointed
<05480> (8799)
them, and carried
<05095> (8762)
all the feeble
<03782> (8802)
of them upon asses
<02543>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them to Jericho
<03405>_,
the city
<05892>
of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>_,
to
<0681>
their brethren
<0251>_:
then they returned
<07725> (8799)
to Samaria
<08111>_.
28:16
At that time
<06256>
did king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>
send
<07971> (8804)
unto the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
to help
<05826> (8800)
him.
28:17
For again the Edomites
<0130>
had come
<0935> (8804)
and smitten
<05221> (8686)
Judah
<03063>_,
and carried away
<07617> (8799)
captives
<07628>_.
{captives: Heb. a captivity}
28:18
The Philistines
<06430>
also had invaded
<06584> (8804)
the cities
<05892>
of the low country
<08219>_,
and of the south
<05045>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and had taken
<03920> (8799)
Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
and Ajalon
<0357>_,
and Gederoth
<01450>_,
and Shocho
<07755>
with the villages
<01323>
thereof, and Timnah
<08553>
with the villages
<01323>
thereof, Gimzo
<01579>
also and the villages
<01323>
thereof: and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there.
28:19
For the LORD
<03068>
brought
<03665> (0)
Judah
<03063>
low
<03665> (8689)
because of Ahaz
<0271>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_;
for he made
<06544> (0)
Judah
<03063>
naked
<06544> (8689)_,
and transgressed
<04603> (8800)
sore
<04604>
against the LORD
<03068>_.
28:20
And Tilgathpilneser
<08407>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto him, and distressed
<06696> (8799)
him, but strengthened
<02388> (8804)
him not.
28:21
For Ahaz
<0271>
took away a portion
<02505> (8804)
[out] of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and [out] of the house
<01004>
of the king
<04428>_,
and of the princes
<08269>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] unto the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
but he helped
<05833>
him not.
28:22
And in the time
<06256>
of his distress
<06887> (8687)
did he trespass
<04603> (8800)
yet more
<03254> (8686)
against the LORD
<03068>_:
this [is that] king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>_.
28:23
For he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
unto the gods
<0430>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
which smote
<05221> (8688)
him: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the gods
<0430>
of the kings
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>
help
<05826> (8688)
them, [therefore] will I sacrifice
<02076> (8762)
to them, that they may help
<05826> (8799)
me. But they were the ruin
<03782> (8687)
of him, and of all Israel
<03478>_.
{Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
28:24
And Ahaz
<0271>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and cut in pieces
<07112> (8762)
the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and shut up
<05462> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and he made
<06213> (8799)
him altars
<04196>
in every corner
<06438>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
28:25
And in every several city
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
he made
<06213> (8804)
high places
<01116>
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and provoked to anger
<03707> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_.
{to burn: or, to offer}
28:26
Now the rest
<03499>
of his acts
<01697>
and of all his ways
<01870>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_.
28:27
And Ahaz
<0271>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the city
<05892>_,
[even] in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
but they brought
<0935> (8689)
him not into the sepulchres
<06913>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and Hezekiah
<03169>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
29:1
Hezekiah
<03169>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)
[when he was] five
<02568>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
nine
<08672>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Abijah
<029>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Zechariah
<02148>_.
29:2
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that David
<01732>
his father
<01>
had done
<06213> (8804)_.
29:3
He in the first
<07223>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
in the first
<07223>
month
<02320>_,
opened
<06605> (8804)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and repaired
<02388> (8762)
them.
29:4
And he brought in
<0935> (8686)
the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and gathered them together
<0622> (8799)
into the east
<04217>
street
<07339>_,
29:5
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)
me, ye Levites
<03881>_,
sanctify
<06942> (8690)
now yourselves, and sanctify
<06942> (8761)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of your fathers
<01>_,
and carry forth
<03318> (8685)
the filthiness
<05079>
out of the holy
<06944>
[place].
29:6
For our fathers
<01>
have trespassed
<04603> (8804)_,
and done
<06213> (8804)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
and have forsaken
<05800> (8799)
him, and have turned away
<05437> (8686)
their faces
<06440>
from the habitation
<04908>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and turned
<05414> (8799)
[their] backs
<06203>_.
{turned their...: Heb. given the neck}
29:7
Also they have shut up
<05462> (8804)
the doors
<01817>
of the porch
<0197>_,
and put out
<03518> (8762)
the lamps
<05216>_,
and have not burned
<06999> (8689)
incense
<07004>
nor offered
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
in the holy
<06944>
[place] unto the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
29:8
Wherefore the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
was upon Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and he hath delivered
<05414> (8799)
them to trouble
<02189> (8675) <02113>_,
to astonishment
<08047>_,
and to hissing
<08322>_,
as ye see
<07200> (8802)
with your eyes
<05869>_.
{trouble: Heb. commotion}
29:9
For, lo, our fathers
<01>
have fallen
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and our sons
<01121>
and our daughters
<01323>
and our wives
<0802>
[are] in captivity
<07628>
for this.
29:10
Now [it is] in mine heart
<03824>
to make
<03772> (8800)
a covenant
<01285>
with the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that his fierce
<02740>
wrath
<0639>
may turn away
<07725> (8799)
from us.
29:11
My sons
<01121>_,
be not now negligent
<07952> (8735)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)
you to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
him, to serve
<08334> (8763)
him, and that ye should minister
<08334> (8764)
unto him, and burn incense
<06999> (8688)_.
{be not...: or, be not now deceived} {burn...: or, offer sacrifice}
29:12
Then the Levites
<03881>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
Mahath
<04287>
the son
<01121>
of Amasai
<06022>_,
and Joel
<03100>
the son
<01121>
of Azariah
<05838>_,
of the sons
<01121>
of the Kohathites
<06956>_:
and of the sons
<01121>
of Merari
<04847>_,
Kish
<07027>
the son
<01121>
of Abdi
<05660>_,
and Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Jehalelel
<03094>_:
and of the Gershonites
<01649>_;
Joah
<03098>
the son
<01121>
of Zimmah
<02155>_,
and Eden
<05731>
the son
<01121>
of Joah
<03098>_:
29:13
And of the sons
<01121>
of Elizaphan
<0469>_;
Shimri
<08113>_,
and Jeiel
<03273>_:
and of the sons
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>_;
Zechariah
<02148>_,
and Mattaniah
<04983>_:
29:14
And of the sons
<01121>
of Heman
<01968>_;
Jehiel
<03171>_,
and Shimei
<08096>_:
and of the sons
<01121>
of Jeduthun
<03038>_;
Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Uzziel
<05816>_.
29:15
And they gathered
<0622> (8799)
their brethren
<0251>_,
and sanctified
<06942> (8691)
themselves, and came
<0935> (8799)_,
according to the commandment
<04687>
of the king
<04428>_,
by the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to cleanse
<02891> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{by the words...: or, in the business of the LORD}
29:16
And the priests
<03548>
went
<0935> (8799)
into the inner part
<06441>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to cleanse
<02891> (8763)
[it], and brought out
<03318> (8686)
all the uncleanness
<02932>
that they found
<04672> (8804)
in the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>
into the court
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the Levites
<03881>
took
<06901> (8762)
[it], to carry [it] out
<03318> (8687)
abroad
<02351>
into the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
29:17
Now they began
<02490> (8686)
on the first
<0259>
[day] of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>
to sanctify
<06942> (8763)_,
and on the eighth
<08083>
day
<03117>
of the month
<02320>
came
<0935> (8804)
they to the porch
<0197>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
so they sanctified
<06942> (8762)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
in eight
<08083>
days
<03117>_;
and in the sixteenth
<08337> <06240>
day of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>
they made an end
<03615> (8765)_.
29:18
Then they went
<0935> (8799)
in
<06441>
to Hezekiah
<02396>
the king
<04428>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
We have cleansed
<02891> (8765)
all the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the altar
<04196>
of burnt offering
<05930>_,
with all the vessels
<03627>
thereof, and the shewbread
<04635>
table
<07979>_,
with all the vessels
<03627>
thereof.
29:19
Moreover all the vessels
<03627>_,
which king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>
in his reign
<04438>
did cast away
<02186> (8689)
in his transgression
<04604>_,
have we prepared
<03559> (8689)
and sanctified
<06942> (8689)_,
and, behold, they [are] before
<06440>
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
29:20
Then Hezekiah
<03169>
the king
<04428>
rose early
<07925> (8686)_,
and gathered
<0622> (8799)
the rulers
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
29:21
And they brought
<0935> (8686)
seven
<07651>
bullocks
<06499>_,
and seven
<07651>
rams
<0352>_,
and seven
<07651>
lambs
<03532>_,
and seven
<07651>
he
<06842>
goats
<05795>_,
for a sin offering
<02403>
for the kingdom
<04467>_,
and for the sanctuary
<04720>_,
and for Judah
<03063>_.
And he commanded
<0559> (8799)
the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>
to offer
<05927> (8687)
[them] on the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
29:22
So they killed
<07819> (8799)
the bullocks
<01241>_,
and the priests
<03548>
received
<06901> (8762)
the blood
<01818>_,
and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)
[it] on the altar
<04196>_:
likewise, when they had killed
<07819> (8799)
the rams
<0352>_,
they sprinkled
<02236> (8799)
the blood
<01818>
upon the altar
<04196>_:
they killed
<07819> (8799)
also the lambs
<03532>_,
and they sprinkled
<02236> (8799)
the blood
<01818>
upon the altar
<04196>_.
29:23
And they brought forth
<05066> (8686)
the he goats
<08163>
[for] the sin offering
<02403>
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
and the congregation
<06951>_;
and they laid
<05564> (8799)
their hands
<03027>
upon them: {forth: Heb. near}
29:24
And the priests
<03548>
killed
<07819> (8799)
them, and they made reconciliation
<02398> (8762)
with their blood
<01818>
upon the altar
<04196>_,
to make an atonement
<03722> (8763)
for all Israel
<03478>_:
for the king
<04428>
commanded
<0559> (8804)
[that] the burnt offering
<05930>
and the sin offering
<02403>
[should be made] for all Israel
<03478>_.
29:25
And he set
<05975> (8686)
the Levites
<03881>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
with cymbals
<04700>_,
with psalteries
<05035>_,
and with harps
<03658>_,
according to the commandment
<04687>
of David
<01732>_,
and of Gad
<01410>
the king's
<04428>
seer
<02374>_,
and Nathan
<05416>
the prophet
<05030>_:
for [so was] the commandment
<04687>
of
<03027>
the LORD
<03068>
by
<03027>
his prophets
<05030>_.
{commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
29:26
And the Levites
<03881>
stood
<05975> (8799)
with the instruments
<03627>
of David
<01732>_,
and the priests
<03548>
with the trumpets
<02689>_.
29:27
And Hezekiah
<02396>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
to offer
<05927> (8687)
the burnt offering
<05930>
upon the altar
<04196>_.
And when
<06256>
the burnt offering
<05930>
began
<02490> (8689)_,
the song
<07892>
of the LORD
<03068>
began
<02490> (8689)
[also] with the trumpets
<02689>_,
and with the instruments
<03627>
[ordained] by
<03027>
David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
29:28
And all the congregation
<06951>
worshipped
<07812> (8693)_,
and the singers
<07892>
sang
<07891> (8789)_,
and the trumpeters
<02689>
sounded
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)_:
[and] all [this continued] until the burnt offering
<05930>
was finished
<03615> (8800)_.
{singers: Heb. song}
29:29
And when they had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of offering
<05927> (8687)_,
the king
<04428>
and all that were present
<04672> (8737)
with him bowed
<03766> (8804)
themselves, and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.
{present: Heb. found}
29:30
Moreover Hezekiah
<03169>
the king
<04428>
and the princes
<08269>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
the Levites
<03881>
to sing praise
<01984> (8763)
unto the LORD
<03068>
with the words
<01697>
of David
<01732>_,
and of Asaph
<0623>
the seer
<02374>_.
And they sang praises
<01984> (8762)
with gladness
<08057>_,
and they bowed their heads
<06915> (8799)
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.
29:31
Then Hezekiah
<03169>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now ye have consecrated
<04390> (8765) <03027>
yourselves unto the LORD
<03068>_,
come near
<05066> (8798)
and bring
<0935> (8685)
sacrifices
<02077>
and thank offerings
<08426>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the congregation
<06951>
brought in
<0935> (8686)
sacrifices
<02077>
and thank offerings
<08426>_;
and as many as were of a free
<05081>
heart
<03820>
burnt offerings
<05930>_.
{consecrated...: or, filled your hand}
29:32
And the number
<04557>
of the burnt offerings
<05930>_,
which the congregation
<06951>
brought
<0935> (8689)_,
was threescore and ten
<07657>
bullocks
<01241>_,
an hundred
<03967>
rams
<0352>_,
[and] two hundred
<03967>
lambs
<03532>_:
all these [were] for a burnt offering
<05930>
to the LORD
<03068>_.
29:33
And the consecrated things
<06944>
[were] six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
oxen
<01241>
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_.
29:34
But the priests
<03548>
were too few
<04592>_,
so that they could
<03201> (8804)
not flay
<06584> (8687)
all the burnt offerings
<05930>_:
wherefore their brethren
<0251>
the Levites
<03881>
did help
<02388> (8762)
them, till the work
<04399>
was ended
<03615> (8800)_,
and until the [other] priests
<03548>
had sanctified
<06942> (8691)
themselves: for the Levites
<03881>
[were] more upright
<03477>
in heart
<03824>
to sanctify
<06942> (8692)
themselves than the priests
<03548>_.
{did help...: Heb. strengthened them}
29:35
And also the burnt offerings
<05930>
[were] in abundance
<07230>_,
with the fat
<02459>
of the peace offerings
<08002>_,
and the drink offerings
<05262>
for [every] burnt offering
<05930>_.
So the service
<05656>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
was set in order
<03559> (8735)_.
29:36
And Hezekiah
<03169>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
that God
<0430>
had prepared
<03559> (8689)
the people
<05971>_:
for the thing
<01697>
was [done] suddenly
<06597>_.
30:1
And Hezekiah
<03169>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to all Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_,
and wrote
<03789> (8804)
letters
<0107>
also to Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
that they should come
<0935> (8800)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the passover
<06453>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
30:2
For the king
<04428>
had taken counsel
<03289> (8735)_,
and his princes
<08269>_,
and all the congregation
<06951>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the passover
<06453>
in the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_.
30:3
For they could
<03201> (8804)
not keep
<06213> (8800)
it at that time
<06256>_,
because the priests
<03548>
had not sanctified
<06942> (8694)
themselves sufficiently
<04078> (8676) <01767>_,
neither had the people
<05971>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
30:4
And the thing
<01697>
pleased
<03474> (8799) <05869>
the king
<04428>
and all the congregation
<06951>_.
{pleased...: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}
30:5
So they established
<05975> (8686)
a decree
<01697>
to make proclamation
<05674> (8687) <06963>
throughout all Israel
<03478>_,
from Beersheba
<0884>
even to Dan
<01835>_,
that they should come
<0935> (8800)
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the passover
<06453>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for they had not done
<06213> (8804)
[it] of a long
<07230>
[time in such sort] as it was written
<03789> (8803)_.
30:6
So the posts
<07323> (8801)
went
<03212> (8799)
with the letters
<0107>
from
<03027>
the king
<04428>
and his princes
<08269>
throughout all Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_,
and according to the commandment
<04687>
of the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
turn again
<07725> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
Isaac
<03327>_,
and Israel
<03478>_,
and he will return
<07725> (8799)
to the remnant
<07604> (8737)
of you, that are escaped
<06413>
out of the hand
<03709>
of the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
{from: Heb. from the hand}
30:7
And be not ye like your fathers
<01>_,
and like your brethren
<0251>_,
which trespassed
<04603> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_,
[who] therefore gave them up
<05414> (8799)
to desolation
<08047>_,
as ye see
<07200> (8802)_.
30:8
Now be ye not stiffnecked
<07185> (8686) <06203>_,
as your fathers
<01>
[were, but] yield
<05414> (8798)
yourselves
<03027>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and enter
<0935> (8798)
into his sanctuary
<04720>_,
which he hath sanctified
<06942> (8689)
for ever
<05769>_:
and serve
<05647> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
that the fierceness
<02740>
of his wrath
<0639>
may turn away
<07725> (8799)
from you. {be ye...: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield...: Heb. give the hand}
30:9
For if ye turn again
<07725> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
your brethren
<0251>
and your children
<01121>
[shall find] compassion
<07356>
before
<06440>
them that lead them captive
<07617> (8802)_,
so that they shall come again
<07725> (8800)
into this land
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
[is] gracious
<02587>
and merciful
<07349>_,
and will not turn away
<05493> (8686)
[his] face
<06440>
from you, if ye return
<07725> (8799)
unto him.
30:10
So the posts
<07323> (8801)
passed
<05674> (8802)
from city
<05892>
to city
<05892>
through the country
<0776>
of Ephraim
<0669>
and Manasseh
<04519>
even unto Zebulun
<02074>_:
but they laughed them to scorn
<07832> (8688)_,
and mocked
<03932> (8688)
them.
30:11
Nevertheless divers
<0582>
of Asher
<0836>
and Manasseh
<04519>
and of Zebulun
<02074>
humbled
<03665> (8738)
themselves, and came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
30:12
Also in Judah
<03063>
the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>
was to give
<05414> (8800)
them one
<0259>
heart
<03820>
to do
<06213> (8800)
the commandment
<04687>
of the king
<04428>
and of the princes
<08269>_,
by the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
30:13
And there assembled
<0622> (8735)
at Jerusalem
<03389>
much
<07227>
people
<05971>
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the feast
<02282>
of unleavened bread
<04682>
in the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_,
a very
<03966>
great
<07230>
congregation
<06951>_.
30:14
And they arose
<06965> (8799)
and took away
<05493> (8686)
the altars
<04196>
that [were] in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and all the altars for incense
<06999>
took they away
<05493> (8689)_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
[them] into the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
30:15
Then they killed
<07819> (8799)
the passover
<06453>
on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>
[day] of the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_:
and the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
were ashamed
<03637> (8738)_,
and sanctified
<06942> (8691)
themselves, and brought in
<0935> (8686)
the burnt offerings
<05930>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
30:16
And they stood
<05975> (8799)
in their place
<05977>
after their manner
<04941>_,
according to the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_:
the priests
<03548>
sprinkled
<02236> (8802)
the blood
<01818>_,
[which they received] of the hand
<03027>
of the Levites
<03881>_.
{their place: Heb. their standing}
30:17
For [there were] many
<07227>
in the congregation
<06951>
that were not sanctified
<06942> (8694)_:
therefore the Levites
<03881>
had the charge of the killing
<07821>
of the passovers
<06453>
for every one [that was] not clean
<02889>_,
to sanctify
<06942> (8687)
[them] unto the LORD
<03068>_.
30:18
For a multitude
<04768>
of the people
<05971>_,
[even] many
<07227>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
Issachar
<03485>_,
and Zebulun
<02074>_,
had not
<03808>
cleansed
<02891> (8694)
themselves, yet did they eat
<0398> (8804)
the passover
<06453>
otherwise than it was written
<03789> (8803)_.
But Hezekiah
<03169>
prayed
<06419> (8694)
for them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The good
<02896>
LORD
<03068>
pardon
<03722> (8762)
every one
30:19
[That] prepareth
<03559> (8689)
his heart
<03824>
to seek
<01875> (8800)
God
<0430>_,
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_,
though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification
<02893>
of the sanctuary
<06944>_.
30:20
And the LORD
<03068>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to Hezekiah
<03169>_,
and healed
<07495> (8799)
the people
<05971>_.
30:21
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
that were present
<04672> (8737)
at Jerusalem
<03389>
kept
<06213> (8799)
the feast
<02282>
of unleavened bread
<04682>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
with great
<01419>
gladness
<08057>_:
and the Levites
<03881>
and the priests
<03548>
praised
<01984> (8764)
the LORD
<03068>
day
<03117>
by day
<03117>_,
[singing] with loud
<05797>
instruments
<03627>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{present: Heb. found} {loud...: Heb. instruments of strength}
30:22
And Hezekiah
<03169>
spake
<01696> (8762)
comfortably
<03820>
unto all the Levites
<03881>
that taught
<07919> (8688)
the good
<02896>
knowledge
<07922>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
throughout the feast
<04150>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
offering
<02076> (8764)
peace
<08002>
offerings
<02077>_,
and making confession
<03034> (8693)
to the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{comfortably...: Heb. to the heart of all}
30:23
And the whole assembly
<06951>
took counsel
<03289> (8735)
to keep
<06213> (8800)
other
<0312>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_:
and they kept
<06213> (8799)
[other] seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
with gladness
<08057>_.
30:24
For Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
did give
<07311> (8689)
to the congregation
<06951>
a thousand
<0505>
bullocks
<06499>
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_;
and the princes
<08269>
gave
<07311> (8689)
to the congregation
<06951>
a thousand
<0505>
bullocks
<06499>
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_:
and a great number
<07230>
of priests
<03548>
sanctified
<06942> (8691)
themselves. {did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered} {gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered}
30:25
And all the congregation
<06951>
of Judah
<03063>_,
with the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and all the congregation
<06951>
that came out
<0935> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the strangers
<01616>
that came out
<0935> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Judah
<03063>_,
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_.
30:26
So there was great
<01419>
joy
<08057>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for since the time
<03117>
of Solomon
<08010>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
[there was] not the like in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
30:27
Then the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>
arose
<06965> (8799)
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
the people
<05971>_:
and their voice
<06963>
was heard
<08085> (8735)_,
and their prayer
<08605>
came
<0935> (8799)
[up] to his holy
<06944>
dwelling place
<04583>_,
[even] unto heaven
<08064>_.
{his holy...: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
31:1
Now when all this was finished
<03615> (8763)_,
all Israel
<03478>
that were present
<04672> (8737)
went out
<03318> (8804)
to the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and brake
<07665> (0)
the images
<04676>
in pieces
<07665> (8762)_,
and cut down
<01438> (8762)
the groves
<0842>_,
and threw down
<05422> (8762)
the high places
<01116>
and the altars
<04196>
out of all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_,
in Ephraim
<0669>
also and Manasseh
<04519>_,
until they had utterly destroyed
<03615> (8763)
them all. Then all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
returned
<07725> (8799)_,
every man
<0376>
to his possession
<0272>_,
into their own cities
<05892>_.
{present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until...: Heb. until to make an end}
31:2
And Hezekiah
<03169>
appointed
<05975> (8686)
the courses
<04256>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
after their courses
<04256>_,
every man
<0376>
according
<06310>
to his service
<05656>_,
the priests
<03548>
and Levites
<03881>
for burnt offerings
<05930>
and for peace offerings
<08002>_,
to minister
<08334> (8763)_,
and to give thanks
<03034> (8687)_,
and to praise
<01984> (8763)
in the gates
<08179>
of the tents
<04264>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
31:3
[He appointed] also the king's
<04428>
portion
<04521>
of his substance
<07399>
for the burnt offerings
<05930>_,
[to wit], for the morning
<01242>
and evening
<06153>
burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and the burnt offerings
<05930>
for the sabbaths
<07676>_,
and for the new moons
<02320>_,
and for the set feasts
<04150>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
31:4
Moreover he commanded
<0559> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
to give
<05414> (8800)
the portion
<04521>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
that they might be encouraged
<02388> (8799)
in the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
31:5
And as soon as the commandment
<01697>
came abroad
<06555> (8800)_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
brought
<0935> (8689)
in abundance
<07235> (8689)
the firstfruits
<07225>
of corn
<01715>_,
wine
<08492>_,
and oil
<03323>_,
and honey
<01706>_,
and of all the increase
<08393>
of the field
<07704>_;
and the tithe
<04643>
of all [things] brought
<0935> (8689)
they in abundantly
<07230>_.
{came...: Heb. brake forth} {honey: or, dates}
31:6
And [concerning] the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
they also brought in
<0935> (8689)
the tithe
<04643>
of oxen
<01241>
and sheep
<06629>_,
and the tithe
<04643>
of holy things
<06944>
which were consecrated
<06942> (8794)
unto the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
and laid
<05414> (8799)
[them] by heaps
<06194> <06194>_.
{by heaps: Heb. heaps, heaps}
31:7
In the third
<07992>
month
<02320>
they began
<02490> (8689)
to lay the foundation
<03245> (8800)
of the heaps
<06194>_,
and finished
<03615> (8765)
[them] in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_.
31:8
And when Hezekiah
<03169>
and the princes
<08269>
came
<0935> (8799)
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the heaps
<06194>_,
they blessed
<01288> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and his people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_.
31:9
Then Hezekiah
<03169>
questioned
<01875> (8799)
with the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>
concerning the heaps
<06194>_.
31:10
And Azariah
<05838>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>
of the house
<01004>
of Zadok
<06659>
answered
<0559> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Since [the people] began
<02490> (8687)
to bring
<0935> (8687)
the offerings
<08641>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
we have had enough
<07646> (8800)
to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and have left
<03498> (8687)
plenty
<07230>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
his people
<05971>_;
and that which is left
<03498> (8737)
[is] this great store
<01995>_.
31:11
Then Hezekiah
<03169>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
to prepare
<03559> (8687)
chambers
<03957>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and they prepared
<03559> (8686)
[them], {chambers: or, storehouses}
31:12
And brought in
<0935> (8686)
the offerings
<08641>
and the tithes
<04643>
and the dedicated
<06944>
[things] faithfully
<0530>_:
over which Cononiah
<03562>
the Levite
<03881>
[was] ruler
<05057>_,
and Shimei
<08096>
his brother
<0251>
[was] the next
<04932>_.
31:13

<06496>
under the hand
<03027>
of Cononiah
<03562>
and Shimei
<08096>
his brother
<0251>_,
at the commandment
<04662>
of Hezekiah
<03169>
the king
<04428>_,
and Azariah
<05838>
the ruler
<05057>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
{under...: Heb. at the hand}
31:14
And Kore
<06981>
the son
<01121>
of Imnah
<03232>
the Levite
<03881>_,
the porter
<07778>
toward the east
<04217>_,
[was] over the freewill offerings
<05071>
of God
<0430>_,
to distribute
<05414> (8800)
the oblations
<08641>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the most
<06944>
holy things
<06944>_.
31:15
And next him [were] Eden

<03442>_,

<0530>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)

<0251>
by
<03027>
courses
<04256>_,
as well to the great
<01419>
as to the small

{next...: Heb. at his hand} {set...: or, trust}
31:16
Beside their genealogy
<03187> (8692)
of males
<02145>_,
from three
<07969>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
and upward
<04605>_,
[even] unto every one that entereth

into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
his daily
<03117> <03117>
portion
<01697>
for their service
<05656>
in their charges
<04931>
according to their courses

Both to the genealogy

by the house

of their fathers
<01>_,
and the Levites

And to the genealogy

their wives
<0802>_,
and their sons
<01121>_,
and their daughters
<01323>_,
through all the congregation
<06951>_:
for in their set office
<0530>
they sanctified
<06942> (8691)
themselves in holiness
<06944>_:
{set...: or, trust}
31:19
Also of the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
