2 Chronicles 27:1--32:33

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
And Jehiel
<03171>_,
and Azaziah
<05812>_,
and Nahath
<05184>_,
and Asahel
<06214>_,

<03107>_,
and Eliel
<0447>_,
and Ismachiah
<03253>_,
and Mahath
<04287>_,
and Benaiah
<01141>_,
[were] overseers
<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
<05731>_,
and Miniamin
<04509>_,
and Jeshua
<03442>_,
and Shemaiah
<08098>_,
Amariah
<0568>_,
and Shecaniah
<07935>_,
in the cities
<05892>
of the priests
<03548>_,
in [their] set office
<0530>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
to their brethren
<0251>
by
<03027>
courses
<04256>_,
as well to the great
<01419>
as to the small
<06996>_:
{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
<0935> (8802)
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
<04256>_;
31:17
Both to the genealogy

by the house
<01004>
of their fathers
<01>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
from twenty
<06242>

31:18
And to the genealogy
<03187> (8692)
of all their little ones
<02945>_,
their wives
<0802>_,
and their sons
<01121>_,

<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
<0175>
the priests
<03548>_,
[which were] in the fields
<07704>
of the suburbs
<04054>
of their cities
<05892>_,
in every several city
<05892>_,
the men
<0582>
that were expressed
<05344> (8738)
by name
<08034>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
portions
<04490>
to all the males
<02145>
among the priests
<03548>_,
and to all that were reckoned by genealogies
<03187> (8692)
among the Levites
<03881>_.
31:20
And thus did
<06213> (8799)
Hezekiah
<03169>
throughout all Judah
<03063>_,
and wrought
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] good
<02896>
and right
<03477>
and truth
<0571>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_.
31:21
And in every work
<04639>
that he began
<02490> (8689)
in the service
<05656>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and in the law
<08451>_,
and in the commandments
<04687>_,
to seek
<01875> (8800)
his God
<0430>_,
he did
<06213> (8804)
[it] with all his heart
<03824>_,
and prospered
<06743> (8689)_.
32:1
After
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
and the establishment
<0571>
thereof, Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
and entered
<0935> (8799)
into Judah
<03063>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>_,
and thought
<0559> (8799)
to win
<01234> (8800)
them for himself. {to win...: Heb. to break them up}
32:2
And when Hezekiah
<03169>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Sennacherib
<05576>
was come
<0935> (8804)_,
and that he was purposed
<06440>
to fight
<04421>
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
{he was...: Heb. his face was to war}
32:3
He took counsel
<03289> (8735)
with his princes
<08269>
and his mighty men
<01368>
to stop
<05640> (8800)
the waters
<04325>
of the fountains
<05869>
which [were] without
<02351>
the city
<05892>_:
and they did help
<05826> (8799)
him.
32:4
So there was gathered
<06908> (0)
much
<07227>
people
<05971>
together
<06908> (8735)_,
who stopped
<05640> (8799)
all the fountains
<04599>_,
and the brook
<05158>
that ran
<07857> (8802)
through the midst
<08432>
of the land
<0776>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Why should the kings
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
come
<0935> (8799)_,
and find
<04672> (8804)
much
<07227>
water
<04325>_?
{ran: Heb. overflowed}
32:5
Also he strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself, and built up
<01129> (8799)
all the wall
<02346>
that was broken
<06555> (8803)_,
and raised [it] up
<05927> (8686)
to the towers
<04026>_,
and another
<0312>
wall
<02346>
without
<02351>_,
and repaired
<02388> (8762)
Millo
<04407>
[in] the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
darts
<07973>
and shields
<04043>
in abundance
<07230>_.
{darts: or, swords, or, weapons}
32:6
And he set
<05414> (8799)
captains
<08269>
of war
<04421>
over the people
<05971>_,
and gathered them together
<06908> (8799)
to him in the street
<07339>
of the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
comfortably
<03824>
to them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{spake...: Heb. he spoke to their heart}
32:7
Be strong
<02388> (8798)
and courageous
<0553> (8798)_,
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
nor dismayed
<02865> (8735)
for
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
nor for all the multitude
<01995>
that [is] with him: for [there be] more
<07227>
with us than with him:
32:8
With him [is] an arm
<02220>
of flesh
<01320>_;
but with us [is] the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
to help
<05826> (8800)
us, and to fight
<03898> (8736)
our battles
<04421>_.
And the people
<05971>
rested
<05564> (8735)
themselves upon the words
<01697>
of Hezekiah
<03169>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
{rested...: Heb. leaned}
32:9
After
<0310>
this did Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
send
<07971> (8804)
his servants
<05650>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
(but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish
<03923>_,
and all his power
<04475>
with him,) unto Hezekiah
<03169>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and unto all Judah
<03063>
that [were] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{power: Heb. dominion}
32:10
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Sennacherib
<05576>
king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
Whereon do ye trust
<0982> (8802)_,
that ye abide
<03427> (8802)
in the siege
<04692>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_?
{siege: or, strong hold}
32:11
Doth not Hezekiah
<03169>
persuade
<05496> (8688)
you to give
<05414> (8800)
over yourselves to die
<04191> (8800)
by famine
<07458>
and by thirst
<06772>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03709>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_?
32:12
Hath not the same Hezekiah
<03169>
taken away
<05493> (8689)
his high places
<01116>
and his altars
<04196>_,
and commanded
<0559> (8799)
Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall worship
<07812> (8691)
before
<06440>
one
<0259>
altar
<04196>_,
and burn incense
<06999> (8686)
upon it?
32:13
Know
<03045> (8799)
ye not what I and my fathers
<01>
have done
<06213> (8804)
unto all the people
<05971>
of [other] lands
<0776>_?
were the gods
<0430>
of the nations
<01471>
of those lands
<0776>
any ways
<03201> (8800)
able
<03201> (8804)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
their lands
<0776>
out of mine hand
<03027>_?
32:14
Who [was there] among all the gods
<0430>
of those nations
<01471>
that my fathers
<01>
utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_,
that could
<03201> (8804)
deliver
<05337> (8687)
his people
<05971>
out of mine hand
<03027>_,
that your God
<0430>
should be able
<03201> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
you out of mine hand
<03027>_?
32:15
Now therefore let not
<03808>
Hezekiah
<02396>
deceive
<05377> (8686)
you, nor persuade
<05496> (8686)
you on this manner, neither yet believe
<0539> (8686)
him: for no god
<0433>
of any nation
<01471>
or kingdom
<04467>
was able
<03201> (8799)
to deliver
<05337> (8687)
his people
<05971>
out of mine hand
<03027>_,
and out of the hand
<03027>
of my fathers
<01>_:
how much less shall your God
<0430>
deliver
<05337> (8686)
you out of mine hand
<03027>_?
32:16
And his servants
<05650>
spake
<01696> (8765)
yet [more] against the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
and against his servant
<05650>
Hezekiah
<03169>_.
32:17
He wrote
<03789> (8804)
also letters
<05612>
to rail
<02778> (8763)
on the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and to speak
<0559> (8800)
against him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
As the gods
<0430>
of the nations
<01471>
of [other] lands
<0776>
have not delivered
<05337> (8689)
their people
<05971>
out of mine hand
<03027>_,
so shall not the God
<0430>
of Hezekiah
<03169>
deliver
<05337> (8686)
his people
<05971>
out of mine hand
<03027>_.
32:18
Then they cried
<07121> (8799)
with a loud
<01419>
voice
<06963>
in the Jews' speech
<03066>
unto the people
<05971>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
that [were] on the wall
<02346>_,
to affright
<03372> (8763)
them, and to trouble
<0926> (8763)
them; that they might take
<03920> (8799)
the city
<05892>_.
32:19
And they spake
<01696> (8762)
against
<05921>
the God
<0430>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
as against the gods
<0430>
of the people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>_,
[which were] the work
<04639>
of the hands
<03027>
of man
<0120>_.
32:20
And for this [cause] Hezekiah
<03169>
the king
<04428>_,
and the prophet
<05030>
Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
prayed
<06419> (8691)
and cried
<02199> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_.
32:21
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
an angel
<04397>_,
which cut off
<03582> (8686)
all the mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
and the leaders
<05057>
and captains
<08269>
in the camp
<04264>
of the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
So he returned
<07725> (8799)
with shame
<01322>
of face
<06440>
to his own land
<0776>_.
And when he was come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of his god
<0430>_,
they that came forth
<03329>
of his own bowels
<04578>
slew
<05307> (8689)
him there with the sword
<02719>_.
{slew...: Heb. made him fall}
32:22
Thus the LORD
<03068>
saved
<03467> (8686)
Hezekiah
<03169>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
from the hand
<03027>
of Sennacherib
<05576>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and from the hand
<03027>
of all [other], and guided
<05095> (8762)
them on every side
<05439>_.
32:23
And many
<07227>
brought
<0935> (8688)
gifts
<04503>
unto the LORD
<03068>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and presents
<04030>
to Hezekiah
<03169>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_:
so that he was magnified
<05375> (8735)
in the sight
<05869>
of all nations
<01471>
from thenceforth
<0310>_.
{presents: Heb. precious things}
32:24
In those days
<03117>
Hezekiah
<03169>
was sick
<02470> (8804)
to the death
<04191> (8800)_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and he spake
<0559> (8799)
unto him, and he gave
<05414> (8804)
him a sign
<04159>_.
{gave...: or, wrought a miracle for him}
32:25
But Hezekiah
<03169>
rendered not again
<07725> (8689)
according to the benefit
<01576>
[done] unto him; for his heart
<03820>
was lifted up
<01361> (8804)_:
therefore there was wrath
<07110>
upon him, and upon Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
32:26
Notwithstanding Hezekiah
<03169>
humbled
<03665> (8735)
himself for the pride
<01363>
of his heart
<03820>_,
[both] he and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
so that the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8804)
not upon them in the days
<03117>
of Hezekiah
<03169>_.
{pride: Heb. lifting up}
32:27
And Hezekiah
<03169>
had exceeding
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)
riches
<06239>
and honour
<03519>_:
and he made
<06213> (8804)
himself treasuries
<0214>
for silver
<03701>_,
and for gold
<02091>_,
and for precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_,
and for spices
<01314>_,
and for shields
<04043>_,
and for all manner of pleasant
<02532>
jewels
<03627>_;
{pleasant...: Heb. instruments of desire}
32:28
Storehouses
<04543>
also for the increase
<08393>
of corn
<01715>_,
and wine
<08492>_,
and oil
<03323>_;
and stalls
<0723>
for all manner of beasts
<0929>_,
and cotes
<0220>
for flocks
<05739>_.
32:29
Moreover he provided
<06213> (8804)
him cities
<05892>_,
and possessions
<04735>
of flocks
<06629>
and herds
<01241>
in abundance
<07230>_:
for God
<0430>
had given
<05414> (8804)
him substance
<07399>
very
<03966>
much
<07227>_.
32:30
This same Hezekiah
<03169>
also stopped
<05640> (8804)
the upper
<05945>
watercourse
<04161> <04325>
of Gihon
<01521>_,
and brought it straight
<03474> (8762)
down
<04295>
to the west side
<04628>
of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_.
And Hezekiah
<03169>
prospered
<06743> (8686)
in all his works
<04639>_.
32:31
Howbeit
<03651>
in [the business of] the ambassadors
<03887> (8688)
of the princes
<08269>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
who sent
<07971> (8764)
unto him to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the wonder
<04159>
that was [done] in the land
<0776>_,
God
<0430>
left
<05800> (8804)
him, to try
<05254> (8763)
him, that he might know
<03045> (8800)
all [that was] in his heart
<03824>_.
{ambassadors: Heb. interpreters}
32:32
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Hezekiah
<03169>_,
and his goodness
<02617>_,
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the vision
<02377>
of Isaiah
<03470>
the prophet
<05030>_,
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
[and] in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_.
{goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
32:33
And Hezekiah
<03169>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the chiefest
<04608>
of the sepulchres
<06913>
of the sons
<01121>
of David
<01732>_:
and all Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
did him
<06213> (8804)
honour
<03519>
at his death
<04194>_.
And Manasseh
<04519>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}
