2 Chronicles 29:1-11

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>_.

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)_.

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.

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>_,

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].

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}

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>_.

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}

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.

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.

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}
