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

<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

<05414> (8800)

to their brethren
<0251>

by
<03027>

courses
<04256>_,

as well to the great
<01419>

as to the small

{next...: Heb. at his hand} {set...: or, trust}

31:16

Beside their genealogy
<03187> (8692)

of males
<02145>_,

from three
<07969>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

and upward
<04605>_,

[even] unto every one that entereth
<0935> (8802)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

his daily
<03117> <03117>

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

in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}
