2 Chronicles 2:1

2:1

And Solomon
<08010>

determined
<0559> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and an house
<01004>

for his kingdom
<04438>_.

2 Chronicles 18:1-34

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)_.

2 Chronicles 21:1-20

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}

2 Chronicles 27:1-9

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.

2 Chronicles 30:1-27

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}

2 Chronicles 33:1-25

33:1

Manasseh
<04519>

[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

fifty
<02572>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

33:2

But did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

like unto the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

had cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:3

For he built
<01129> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

the high places
<01116>

which Hezekiah
<03169>

his father
<01>

had broken down
<05422> (8765)_,

and he reared up
<06965> (8686)

altars
<04196>

for Baalim
<01168>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

groves
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them. {he built...: Heb. he returned and built}

33:4

Also he built
<01129> (8804)

altars
<04196>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)_,

In Jerusalem
<03389>

shall my name
<08034>

be for ever
<05769>_.

33:5

And he built
<01129> (8799)

altars
<04196>

for all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>

in the two
<08147>

courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

33:6

And he caused
<05674> (0)

his children
<01121>

to pass through
<05674> (8689)

the fire
<0784>

in the valley
<01516>

of the son
<01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_:

also he observed times
<06049> (8782)_,

and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,

and used witchcraft
<03784> (8765)_,

and dealt
<06213> (8804)

with a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

and with wizards
<03049>_:

he wrought
<06213> (8800)

much
<07235> (8689)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

33:7

And he set
<07760> (8799)

a carved image
<06459>_,

the idol
<05566>

which he had made
<06213> (8804)_,

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

of which God
<0430>

had said
<0559> (8804)

to David
<01732>

and to Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

In this house
<01004>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

before all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>

for ever
<05865>_:

33:8

Neither will I any more
<03254> (8686)

remove
<05493> (8687)

the foot
<07272>

of Israel
<03478>

from out
<05921>

of the land
<0127>

which I have appointed
<05975> (8689)

for your fathers
<01>_;

so that
<0518>

they will take heed
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

them, according to the whole law
<08451>

and the statutes
<02706>

and the ordinances
<04941>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

33:9

So Manasseh
<04519>

made
<08582> (0)

Judah
<03063>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

to err
<08582> (8686)_,

[and] to do
<06213> (8800)

worse
<07451>

than the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

had destroyed
<08045> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:10

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

to Manasseh
<04519>_,

and to his people
<05971>_:

but they would not hearken
<07181> (8689)_.

33:11

Wherefore the LORD
<03068>

brought
<0935> (8686)

upon them the captains of
<08269>

the host of
<06635>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

which took
<03920> (8799)

Manasseh
<04519>

among the thorns
<02336>_,

and bound him
<0631> (8799)

with fetters
<05178>_,

and carried
<03212> (8686)

him to Babylon
<0894>_.

{of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}

33:12

And when he was in affliction
<06887> (8687)_,

he besought
<02470> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

and humbled
<03665> (8735)

himself greatly
<03966>

before
<06440>

the God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

33:13

And prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto him: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)

of him, and heard
<08085> (8799)

his supplication
<08467>_,

and brought him again
<07725> (8686)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

into his kingdom
<04438>_.

Then Manasseh
<04519>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

he [was] God
<0430>_.

33:14

Now after this
<0310>

he built
<01129> (8804)

a wall
<02346>

without
<02435>

the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

on the west side
<04628>

of Gihon
<01521>_,

in the valley
<05158>_,

even to the entering in
<0935> (8800)

at the fish
<01709>

gate
<08179>_,

and compassed
<05437> (8804)

about Ophel
<06077>_,

and raised it up
<01361> (8686)

a very great height
<03966>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

captains
<08269>

of war
<02428>

in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{Ophel: or, the tower}

33:15

And he took away
<05493> (8686)

the strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>_,

and the idol
<05566>

out of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all the altars
<04196>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)

in the mount
<02022>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[them] out
<02351>

of the city
<05892>_.

33:16

And he repaired
<01129> (8799)

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

thereon peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>

and thank offerings
<08426>_,

and commanded
<0559> (8799)

Judah
<03063>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:17

Nevertheless
<061>

the people
<05971>

did sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

still in the high places
<01116>_,

[yet] unto the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>

only.

33:18

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

and his prayer
<08605>

unto his God
<0430>_,

and the words
<01697>

of the seers
<02374>

that spake
<01696> (8764)

to him in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

behold, they [are written] in the book
<01697>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

33:19

His prayer
<08605>

also, and [how God] was intreated
<06279> (8736)

of him, and all his sin
<02403>_,

and his trespass
<04604>_,

and the places
<04725>

wherein he built
<01129> (8804)

high places
<01116>_,

and set up
<05975> (8689)

groves
<0842>

and graven images
<06456>_,

before
<06440>

he was humbled
<03665> (8736)_:

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

among the sayings
<01697>

of the seers
<02374> (8676) <02335>_.

{the seers: or, Hosai}

33:20

So Manasseh
<04519>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his own house
<01004>_:

and Amon
<0526>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

33:21

Amon
<0526>

[was] two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

two
<08147>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

33:22

But he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as did
<06213> (8804)

Manasseh
<04519>

his father
<01>_:

for Amon
<0526>

sacrificed
<02076> (8765)

unto all the carved images
<06456>

which Manasseh
<04519>

his father
<01>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them;

33:23

And humbled
<03665> (8738)

not himself before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

as Manasseh
<04519>

his father
<01>

had humbled
<03665> (8736)

himself; but Amon
<0526>

trespassed
<0819>

more and more
<07235> (8689)_.

{trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}

33:24

And his servants
<05650>

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

him in his own house
<01004>_.

33:25

But the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

slew
<05221> (8686)

all them that had conspired
<07194> (8802)

against king
<04428>

Amon
<0526>_;

and the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

made
<04427> (0)

Josiah
<02977>

his son
<01121>

king
<04427> (8686)

in his stead.

2 Chronicles 35:1-27

35:1

Moreover Josiah
<02977>

kept
<06213> (8799)

a passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_.

35:2

And he set
<05975> (8686)

the priests
<03548>

in their charges
<04931>_,

and encouraged
<02388> (8762)

them to the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

35:3

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Levites
<03881>

that taught
<0995> (8688) (8675) <04000>

all Israel
<03478>_,

which were holy
<06918>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

Put
<05414> (8798)

the holy
<06944>

ark
<0727>

in the house
<01004>

which Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

did build
<01129> (8804)_;

[it shall] not [be] a burden
<04853>

upon [your] shoulders
<03802>_:

serve
<05647> (8798)

now the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

35:4

And prepare
<03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734)

[yourselves] by the houses
<01004>

of your fathers
<01>_,

after your courses
<04256>_,

according to the writing
<03791>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and according to the writing
<04385>

of Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_.

35:5

And stand in
<05975> (8798)

the holy
<06944>

[place] according to the divisions
<06391>

of the families
<01004>

of the fathers
<01>

of your brethren
<0251>

the people
<01121> <05971>_,

and [after] the division
<02515>

of the families
<01> <01004>

of the Levites
<03881>_.

{the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}

35:6

So kill
<07819> (8798)

the passover
<06453>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves, and prepare
<03559> (8685)

your brethren
<0251>_,

that [they] may do
<06213> (8800)

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

35:7

And Josiah
<02977>

gave
<07311> (8686)

to the people
<01121> <05971>_,

of the flock
<06629>_,

lambs
<03532>

and kids
<01121> <05795>_,

all for the passover offerings
<06453>_,

for all that were present
<04672> (8737)_,

to the number
<04557>

of thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>_,

and three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

bullocks
<01241>_:

these [were] of the king's
<04428>

substance
<07399>_.

{gave: Heb. offered}

35:8

And his princes
<08269>

gave
<07311> (8689)

willingly
<05071>

unto the people
<05971>_,

to the priests
<03548>_,

and to the Levites
<03881>_:

Hilkiah
<02518>

and Zechariah
<02148>

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

rulers
<05057>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

gave
<05414> (8804)

unto the priests
<03548>

for the passover offerings
<06453>

two thousand
<0505>

and six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

[small cattle], and three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

oxen
<01241>_.

{gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}

35:9

Conaniah
<03562>

also, and Shemaiah
<08098>

and Nethaneel
<05417>_,

his brethren
<0251>_,

and Hashabiah
<02811>

and Jeiel
<03273>

and Jozabad
<03107>_,

chief
<08269>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

gave
<07311> (8689)

unto the Levites
<03881>

for passover offerings
<06453>

five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

[small cattle], and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

oxen
<01241>_.

{gave: Heb. offered}

35:10

So the service
<05656>

was prepared
<03559> (8735)_,

and the priests
<03548>

stood
<05975> (8799)

in their place
<05977>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

in their courses
<04256>_,

according to the king's
<04428>

commandment
<04687>_.

35:11

And they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>_,

and the priests
<03548>

sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

[the blood] from their hands
<03027>_,

and the Levites
<03881>

flayed
<06584> (8688)

[them].

35:12

And they removed
<05493> (8686)

the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

that they might give
<05414> (8800)

according to the divisions
<04653>

of the families
<01> <01004>

of the people
<01121> <05971>_,

to offer
<07126> (8687)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of Moses
<04872>_.

And so [did they] with the oxen
<01241>_.

35:13

And they roasted
<01310> (8762)

the passover
<06453>

with fire
<0784>

according to the ordinance
<04941>_:

but the [other] holy
<06944>

[offerings] sod
<01310> (8765)

they in pots
<05518>_,

and in caldrons
<01731>_,

and in pans
<06745>_,

and divided [them] speedily
<07323> (8686)

among all the people
<01121> <05971>_.

{divided...: Heb. made them run}

35:14

And afterward
<0310>

they made ready
<03559> (8689)

for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>_:

because the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

[were busied] in offering
<05927> (8687)

of burnt offerings
<05930>

and the fat
<02459>

until night
<03915>_;

therefore the Levites
<03881>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_.

35:15

And the singers
<07891> (8789)

the sons
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>

[were] in their place
<04612>_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of David
<01732>_,

and Asaph
<0623>_,

and Heman
<01968>_,

and Jeduthun
<03038>

the king's
<04428>

seer
<02374>_;

and the porters
<07778>

[waited] at every gate
<08179>_;

they might not depart
<05493> (8800)

from their service
<05656>_;

for their brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

for them. {place: Heb. station}

35:16

So all the service
<05656>

of the LORD
<03068>

was prepared
<03559> (8735)

the same day
<03117>_,

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the passover
<06453>_,

and to offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_.

35:17

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)

kept
<06213> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

at that time
<06256>_,

and the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

{present: Heb. found}

35:18

And there was no passover
<06453>

like
<03644>

to that kept
<06213> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>

from the days
<03117>

of Samuel
<08050>

the prophet
<05030>_;

neither did
<06213> (8804)

all the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

keep
<06213> (8804)

such a passover
<06453>

as Josiah
<02977>

kept
<06213> (8804)_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and all Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{present: Heb. found}

35:19

In the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of the reign
<04438>

of Josiah
<02977>

was this passover
<06453>

kept
<06213> (8738)_.

35:20

After
<0310>

all this, when Josiah
<02977>

had prepared
<03559> (8689)

the temple
<01004>_,

Necho
<05224>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came up
<05927> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Carchemish
<03751>

by Euphrates
<06578>_:

and Josiah
<02977>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

him. {temple: Heb. house}

35:21

But he sent
<07971> (8799)

ambassadors
<04397>

to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What have I to do with thee, thou king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

[I come] not against thee this day
<03117>_,

but against the house
<01004>

wherewith I have war
<04421>_:

for God
<0430>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

me to make haste
<0926> (8763)_:

forbear
<02308> (8798)

thee from [meddling with] God
<0430>_,

who [is] with me, that he destroy
<07843> (8686)

thee not. {the house...: Heb. the house of my war}

35:22

Nevertheless Josiah
<02977>

would not turn
<05437> (8689)

his face
<06440>

from him, but disguised
<02664> (8694)

himself, that he might fight
<03898> (8736)

with him, and hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Necho
<05224>

from the mouth
<06310>

of God
<0430>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

in the valley
<01237>

of Megiddo
<04023>_.

35:23

And the archers
<03384> (8802)

shot
<03384> (8686)

at king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_;

and the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to his servants
<05650>_,

Have me away
<05674> (8685)_;

for I am sore
<03966>

wounded
<02470> (8717)_.

{wounded: Heb. made sick}

35:24

His servants
<05650>

therefore took
<05674> (8686)

him out of that chariot
<04818>_,

and put
<07392> (8686)

him in the second
<04932>

chariot
<07393>

that he had; and they brought
<03212> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in [one of] the sepulchres
<06913>

of his fathers
<01>_.

And all Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>

mourned
<056> (8693)

for Josiah
<02977>_.

{in one...: or, among the sepulchres}

35:25

And Jeremiah
<03414>

lamented
<06969> (8787)

for Josiah
<02977>_:

and all the singing men
<07891> (8802)

and the singing women
<07891> (8802)

spake
<0559> (8799)

of Josiah
<02977>

in their lamentations
<07015>

to this day
<03117>_,

and made
<05414> (8799)

them an ordinance
<02706>

in Israel
<03478>_:

and, behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the lamentations
<07015>_.

35:26

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Josiah
<02977>_,

and his goodness
<02617>_,

according to [that which was] written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

{goodness: Heb. kindnesses}

35:27

And his deeds
<01697>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_.

2 Chronicles 1:1

1:1

And Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

was strengthened
<02388> (8691)

in his kingdom
<04438>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>

[was] with him, and magnified
<01431> (8762)

him exceedingly
<04605>_.
