2 Chronicles 28:1-25

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>_.
