2 Chronicles 33:1--36:23

Manasseh
<04519>
[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
fifty
<02572>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
But did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
like unto the abominations
<08441>
of the heathen
<01471>_,
whom the LORD
<03068>
had cast out
<03423> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
For he built
<01129> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
the high places
<01116>
which Hezekiah
<03169>
his father
<01>
had broken down
<05422> (8765)_,
and he reared up
<06965> (8686)
altars
<04196>
for Baalim
<01168>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
groves
<0842>_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
them. {he built...: Heb. he returned and built}
Also he built
<01129> (8804)
altars
<04196>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
whereof the LORD
<03068>
had said
<0559> (8804)_,
In Jerusalem
<03389>
shall my name
<08034>
be for ever
<05769>_.
And he built
<01129> (8799)
altars
<04196>
for all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
in the two
<08147>
courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And he caused
<05674> (0)
his children
<01121>
to pass through
<05674> (8689)
the fire
<0784>
in the valley
<01516>
of the son
<01121>
of Hinnom
<02011>_:
also he observed times
<06049> (8782)_,
and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,
and used witchcraft
<03784> (8765)_,
and dealt
<06213> (8804)
with a familiar spirit
<0178>_,
and with wizards
<03049>_:
he wrought
<06213> (8800)
much
<07235> (8689)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to provoke him to anger
<03707> (8687)_.
And he set
<07760> (8799)
a carved image
<06459>_,
the idol
<05566>
which he had made
<06213> (8804)_,
in the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
of which God
<0430>
had said
<0559> (8804)
to David
<01732>
and to Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_,
In this house
<01004>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
before all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
will I put
<07760> (8799)
my name
<08034>
for ever
<05865>_:
Neither will I any more
<03254> (8686)
remove
<05493> (8687)
the foot
<07272>
of Israel
<03478>
from out
<05921>
of the land
<0127>
which I have appointed
<05975> (8689)
for your fathers
<01>_;
so that
<0518>
they will take heed
<08104> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
them, according to the whole law
<08451>
and the statutes
<02706>
and the ordinances
<04941>
by the hand
<03027>
of Moses
<04872>_.
So Manasseh
<04519>
made
<08582> (0)
Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
to err
<08582> (8686)_,
[and] to do
<06213> (8800)
worse
<07451>
than the heathen
<01471>_,
whom the LORD
<03068>
had destroyed
<08045> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
to Manasseh
<04519>_,
and to his people
<05971>_:
but they would not hearken
<07181> (8689)_.
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
brought
<0935> (8686)
upon them the captains of
<08269>
the host of
<06635>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
which took
<03920> (8799)
Manasseh
<04519>
among the thorns
<02336>_,
and bound him
<0631> (8799)
with fetters
<05178>_,
and carried
<03212> (8686)
him to Babylon
<0894>_.
{of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And when he was in affliction
<06887> (8687)_,
he besought
<02470> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
and humbled
<03665> (8735)
himself greatly
<03966>
before
<06440>
the God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_,
And prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto him: and he was intreated
<06279> (8735)
of him, and heard
<08085> (8799)
his supplication
<08467>_,
and brought him again
<07725> (8686)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
into his kingdom
<04438>_.
Then Manasseh
<04519>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
he [was] God
<0430>_.
Now after this
<0310>
he built
<01129> (8804)
a wall
<02346>
without
<02435>
the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>_,
on the west side
<04628>
of Gihon
<01521>_,
in the valley
<05158>_,
even to the entering in
<0935> (8800)
at the fish
<01709>
gate
<08179>_,
and compassed
<05437> (8804)
about Ophel
<06077>_,
and raised it up
<01361> (8686)
a very great height
<03966>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
captains
<08269>
of war
<02428>
in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
{Ophel: or, the tower}
And he took away
<05493> (8686)
the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>_,
and the idol
<05566>
out of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and all the altars
<04196>
that he had built
<01129> (8804)
in the mount
<02022>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
[them] out
<02351>
of the city
<05892>_.
And he repaired
<01129> (8799)
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
thereon peace
<08002>
offerings
<02077>
and thank offerings
<08426>_,
and commanded
<0559> (8799)
Judah
<03063>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Nevertheless
<061>
the people
<05971>
did sacrifice
<02076> (8802)
still in the high places
<01116>_,
[yet] unto the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
only.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
and his prayer
<08605>
unto his God
<0430>_,
and the words
<01697>
of the seers
<02374>
that spake
<01696> (8764)
to him in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
behold, they [are written] in the book
<01697>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
His prayer
<08605>
also, and [how God] was intreated
<06279> (8736)
of him, and all his sin
<02403>_,
and his trespass
<04604>_,
and the places
<04725>
wherein he built
<01129> (8804)
high places
<01116>_,
and set up
<05975> (8689)
groves
<0842>
and graven images
<06456>_,
before
<06440>
he was humbled
<03665> (8736)_:
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
among the sayings
<01697>
of the seers
<02374> (8676) <02335>_.
{the seers: or, Hosai}
So Manasseh
<04519>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in his own house
<01004>_:
and Amon
<0526>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
Amon
<0526>
[was] two
<08147>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
But he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as did
<06213> (8804)
Manasseh
<04519>
his father
<01>_:
for Amon
<0526>
sacrificed
<02076> (8765)
unto all the carved images
<06456>
which Manasseh
<04519>
his father
<01>
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
them;
And humbled
<03665> (8738)
not himself before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
as Manasseh
<04519>
his father
<01>
had humbled
<03665> (8736)
himself; but Amon
<0526>
trespassed
<0819>
more and more
<07235> (8689)_.
{trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}
And his servants
<05650>
conspired
<07194> (8799)
against him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
him in his own house
<01004>_.
But the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
slew
<05221> (8686)
all them that had conspired
<07194> (8802)
against king
<04428>
Amon
<0526>_;
and the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
made
<04427> (0)
Josiah
<02977>
his son
<01121>
king
<04427> (8686)
in his stead.
Josiah
<02977>
[was] eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
one
<0259>
and thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_,
and declined
<05493> (8804)
[neither] to the right hand
<03225>_,
nor to the left
<08040>_.
For in the eighth
<08083>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
while he was yet young
<05288>_,
he began
<02490> (8689)
to seek
<01875> (8800)
after the God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
year
<08141>
he began
<02490> (8689)
to purge
<02891> (8763)
Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
from the high places
<01116>_,
and the groves
<0842>_,
and the carved images
<06456>_,
and the molten images
<04541>_.
And they brake down
<05422> (8762)
the altars
<04196>
of Baalim
<01168>
in his presence
<06440>_;
and the images
<02553>_,
that [were] on high above them
<04605>_,
he cut down
<01438> (8765)_;
and the groves
<0842>_,
and the carved images
<06456>_,
and the molten images
<04541>_,
he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,
and made dust
<01854> (8689)
[of them], and strowed
<02236> (8799)
[it] upon
<06440>
the graves
<06913>
of them that had sacrificed
<02076> (8802)
unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burnt
<08313> (8804)
the bones
<06106>
of the priests
<03548>
upon their altars
<04196>_,
and cleansed
<02891> (8762)
Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And [so did he] in the cities
<05892>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
and Simeon
<08095>_,
even unto Naphtali
<05321>_,
with their mattocks
<02719>
round about
<05439>_.
{mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken down
<05422> (8762)
the altars
<04196>
and the groves
<0842>_,
and had beaten
<03807> (8765)
the graven images
<06456>
into powder
<01854> (8687)_,
and cut down
<01438> (8765)
all the idols
<02553>
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_,
he returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{into...: Heb. to make powder}
Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
when he had purged
<02891> (8763)
the land
<0776>_,
and the house
<01004>_,
he sent
<07971> (8804)
Shaphan
<08227>
the son
<01121>
of Azaliah
<0683>_,
and Maaseiah
<04641>
the governor
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
and Joah
<03098>
the son
<01121>
of Joahaz
<03099>
the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,
to repair
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_.
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to Hilkiah
<02518>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
they delivered
<05414> (8799)
the money
<03701>
that was brought
<0935> (8716)
into the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
which the Levites
<03881>
that kept
<08104> (8802)
the doors
<05592>
had gathered
<0622> (8804)
of the hand
<03027>
of Manasseh
<04519>
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
and of all the remnant
<07611>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and of all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
and they returned
<07725> (8799) (8675) <03427> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And they put
<05414> (8799)
[it] in the hand
<03027>
of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>
that had the oversight
<06485> (8716)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and they gave
<05414> (8799)
it to the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>
that wrought
<06213> (8802)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to repair
<0918> (8800)
and amend
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>_:
Even to the artificers
<02796>
and builders
<01129> (8802)
gave
<05414> (8799)
they [it], to buy
<07069> (8800)
hewn
<04274>
stone
<068>_,
and timber
<06086>
for couplings
<04226>_,
and to floor
<07136> (8763)
the houses
<01004>
which the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had destroyed
<07843> (8689)_.
{to floor: or, to rafter}
And the men
<0582>
did
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
faithfully
<0530>_:
and the overseers
<05329> (8763)
of them [were] Jahath
<03189>
and Obadiah
<05662>_,
the Levites
<03881>_,
of the sons
<01121>
of Merari
<04847>_;
and Zechariah
<02148>
and Meshullam
<04918>_,
of the sons of the Kohathites
<06956>_,
to set [it] forward
<06485> (8716)_;
and [other of] the Levites
<03881>_,
all that could skill
<0995> (8688)
of instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_.
Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens
<05449>_,
and [were] overseers
<05329> (8764)
of all that wrought
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
in any manner of service
<05656>_:
and of the Levites
<03881>
[there were] scribes
<05608> (8802)_,
and officers
<07860> (8802)_,
and porters
<07778>_.
And when they brought out
<03318> (8687)
the money
<03701>
that was brought into
<0935> (8716)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
found
<04672> (8804)
a book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
[given] by
<03027>
Moses
<04872>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And Hilkiah
<02518>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
I have found
<04672> (8804)
the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Hilkiah
<02518>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
the book
<05612>
to Shaphan
<08227>_.
And Shaphan
<08227>
carried
<0935> (8686)
the book
<05612>
to the king
<04428>_,
and brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
back
<07725> (8686)
again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
All that was committed
<05414> (8738)
to
<03027>
thy servants
<05650>_,
they do
<06213> (8802)
[it]. {to thy...: Heb. to the hand of, etc}
And they have gathered together
<05413> (8686)
the money
<03701>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have delivered
<05414> (8799)
it into the hand
<03027>
of the overseers
<06485> (8716)_,
and to the hand
<03027>
of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>_.
{gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}
Then Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
told
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me a book
<05612>_.
And Shaphan
<08227>
read
<07121> (8799)
it before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
{it: Heb. in it}
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the law
<08451>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_.
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Hilkiah
<02518>_,
and Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Abdon
<05658>
the son
<01121>
of Micah
<04318>_,
and Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Asaiah
<06222>
a servant
<05650>
of the king's
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Abdon: or, Achbor}
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
enquire
<01875> (8798)
of the LORD
<03068>
for me, and for them that are left
<07604> (8737)
in Israel
<03478>
and in Judah
<03063>_,
concerning the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
that is found
<04672> (8738)_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the wrath
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>
that is poured out
<05413> (8738)
upon us, because our fathers
<01>
have not kept
<08104> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
after all that is written
<03789> (8803)
in this book
<05612>_.
And Hilkiah
<02518>_,
and [they] that the king
<04428>
[had appointed], went
<03212> (8799)
to Huldah
<02468>
the prophetess
<05031>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Shallum
<07967>
the son
<01121>
of Tikvath
<08616> (8676) <08445>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hasrah
<02641>_,
keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the wardrobe
<0899>_;
(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
in the college
<04932>:)
and they spake
<01696> (8762)
to her to that [effect]. {Hasrah: also called, Harhas} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}
And she answered
<0559> (8799)
them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Tell
<0559> (8798)
ye the man
<0376>
that sent
<07971> (8804)
you to me,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon this place
<04725>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, [even] all the curses
<0423>
that are written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
which they have read
<07121> (8804)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_:
Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762) (8675) <06999> (8686)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
that they might provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)
with all the works
<04639>
of their hands
<03027>_;
therefore my wrath
<02534>
shall be poured out
<05413> (8799)
upon this place
<04725>_,
and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.
And as for
<0413>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
who sent
<07971> (8802)
you to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
so shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
[concerning] the words
<01697>
which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_;
Because thine heart
<03824>
was tender
<07401> (8804)_,
and thou didst humble
<03665> (8735)
thyself before
<06440>
God
<0430>_,
when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)
his words
<01697>
against this place
<04725>_,
and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, and humbledst
<03665> (8735)
thyself before
<06440>
me, and didst rend
<07167> (8799)
thy clothes
<0899>_,
and weep
<01058> (8799)
before
<06440>
me; I have even heard
<08085> (8804)
[thee] also, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I will gather
<0622> (8802)
thee to thy fathers
<01>_,
and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)
to thy grave
<06913>
in peace
<07965>_,
neither shall thine eyes
<05869>
see
<07200> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon this place
<04725>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the same. So they brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
Then the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the elders
<02205>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the king
<04428>
went up
<05927> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and all the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
great
<01419>
and small
<06996>_:
and he read
<07121> (8799)
in their ears
<0241>
all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
of the covenant
<01285>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{great...: Heb. from great even to small}
And the king
<04428>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in his place
<05977>_,
and made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
after
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and to keep
<08104> (8800)
his commandments
<04687>_,
and his testimonies
<05715>_,
and his statutes
<02706>_,
with all his heart
<03824>_,
and with all his soul
<05315>_,
to perform
<06213> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the covenant
<01285>
which are written
<03789> (8803)
in this book
<05612>_.
And he caused all that were present
<04672> (8737)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
and Benjamin
<01144>
to stand
<05975> (8686)
[to it]. And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_,
the God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{present: Heb. found}
And Josiah
<02977>
took away
<05493> (8686)
all the abominations
<08441>
out of all the countries
<0776>
that [pertained] to the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and made all that were present
<04672> (8737)
in Israel
<03478>
to serve
<05647> (8686)_,
[even] to serve
<05647> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
[And] all his days
<03117>
they departed
<05493> (8804)
not from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{present: Heb. found} {from...: Heb. from after}
Moreover Josiah
<02977>
kept
<06213> (8799)
a passover
<06453>
unto the LORD
<03068>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and they killed
<07819> (8799)
the passover
<06453>
on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>
[day] of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>_.
And he set
<05975> (8686)
the priests
<03548>
in their charges
<04931>_,
and encouraged
<02388> (8762)
them to the service
<05656>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto the Levites
<03881>
that taught
<0995> (8688) (8675) <04000>
all Israel
<03478>_,
which were holy
<06918>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
Put
<05414> (8798)
the holy
<06944>
ark
<0727>
in the house
<01004>
which Solomon
<08010>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
did build
<01129> (8804)_;
[it shall] not [be] a burden
<04853>
upon [your] shoulders
<03802>_:
serve
<05647> (8798)
now the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
and his people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
And prepare
<03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734)
[yourselves] by the houses
<01004>
of your fathers
<01>_,
after your courses
<04256>_,
according to the writing
<03791>
of David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and according to the writing
<04385>
of Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_.
And stand in
<05975> (8798)
the holy
<06944>
[place] according to the divisions
<06391>
of the families
<01004>
of the fathers
<01>
of your brethren
<0251>
the people
<01121> <05971>_,
and [after] the division
<02515>
of the families
<01> <01004>
of the Levites
<03881>_.
{the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
So kill
<07819> (8798)
the passover
<06453>_,
and sanctify
<06942> (8690)
yourselves, and prepare
<03559> (8685)
your brethren
<0251>_,
that [they] may do
<06213> (8800)
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
by the hand
<03027>
of Moses
<04872>_.
And Josiah
<02977>
gave
<07311> (8686)
to the people
<01121> <05971>_,
of the flock
<06629>_,
lambs
<03532>
and kids
<01121> <05795>_,
all for the passover offerings
<06453>_,
for all that were present
<04672> (8737)_,
to the number
<04557>
of thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>_,
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
bullocks
<01241>_:
these [were] of the king's
<04428>
substance
<07399>_.
{gave: Heb. offered}
And his princes
<08269>
gave
<07311> (8689)
willingly
<05071>
unto the people
<05971>_,
to the priests
<03548>_,
and to the Levites
<03881>_:
Hilkiah
<02518>
and Zechariah
<02148>
and Jehiel
<03171>_,
rulers
<05057>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
gave
<05414> (8804)
unto the priests
<03548>
for the passover offerings
<06453>
two thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[small cattle], and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
oxen
<01241>_.
{gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}
Conaniah
<03562>
also, and Shemaiah
<08098>
and Nethaneel
<05417>_,
his brethren
<0251>_,
and Hashabiah
<02811>
and Jeiel
<03273>
and Jozabad
<03107>_,
chief
<08269>
of the Levites
<03881>_,
gave
<07311> (8689)
unto the Levites
<03881>
for passover offerings
<06453>
five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
[small cattle], and five
<02568>
hundred
<03967>
oxen
<01241>_.
{gave: Heb. offered}
So the service
<05656>
was prepared
<03559> (8735)_,
and the priests
<03548>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in their place
<05977>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
in their courses
<04256>_,
according to the king's
<04428>
commandment
<04687>_.
And they killed
<07819> (8799)
the passover
<06453>_,
and the priests
<03548>
sprinkled
<02236> (8799)
[the blood] from their hands
<03027>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
flayed
<06584> (8688)
[them].
And they removed
<05493> (8686)
the burnt offerings
<05930>_,
that they might give
<05414> (8800)
according to the divisions
<04653>
of the families
<01> <01004>
of the people
<01121> <05971>_,
to offer
<07126> (8687)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of Moses
<04872>_.
And so [did they] with the oxen
<01241>_.
And they roasted
<01310> (8762)
the passover
<06453>
with fire
<0784>
according to the ordinance
<04941>_:
but the [other] holy
<06944>
[offerings] sod
<01310> (8765)
they in pots
<05518>_,
and in caldrons
<01731>_,
and in pans
<06745>_,
and divided [them] speedily
<07323> (8686)
among all the people
<01121> <05971>_.
{divided...: Heb. made them run}
And afterward
<0310>
they made ready
<03559> (8689)
for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>_:
because the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>
[were busied] in offering
<05927> (8687)
of burnt offerings
<05930>
and the fat
<02459>
until night
<03915>_;
therefore the Levites
<03881>
prepared
<03559> (8689)
for themselves, and for the priests
<03548>
the sons
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_.
And the singers
<07891> (8789)
the sons
<01121>
of Asaph
<0623>
[were] in their place
<04612>_,
according to the commandment
<04687>
of David
<01732>_,
and Asaph
<0623>_,
and Heman
<01968>_,
and Jeduthun
<03038>
the king's
<04428>
seer
<02374>_;
and the porters
<07778>
[waited] at every gate
<08179>_;
they might not depart
<05493> (8800)
from their service
<05656>_;
for their brethren
<0251>
the Levites
<03881>
prepared
<03559> (8689)
for them. {place: Heb. station}
So all the service
<05656>
of the LORD
<03068>
was prepared
<03559> (8735)
the same day
<03117>_,
to keep
<06213> (8800)
the passover
<06453>_,
and to offer
<05927> (8687)
burnt offerings
<05930>
upon the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to the commandment
<04687>
of king
<04428>
Josiah
<02977>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
that were present
<04672> (8737)
kept
<06213> (8799)
the passover
<06453>
at that time
<06256>_,
and the feast
<02282>
of unleavened bread
<04682>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
{present: Heb. found}
And there was no passover
<06453>
like
<03644>
to that kept
<06213> (8738)
in Israel
<03478>
from the days
<03117>
of Samuel
<08050>
the prophet
<05030>_;
neither did
<06213> (8804)
all the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
keep
<06213> (8804)
such a passover
<06453>
as Josiah
<02977>
kept
<06213> (8804)_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and all Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>
that were present
<04672> (8737)_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{present: Heb. found}
In the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Josiah
<02977>
was this passover
<06453>
kept
<06213> (8738)_.
After
<0310>
all this, when Josiah
<02977>
had prepared
<03559> (8689)
the temple
<01004>_,
Necho
<05224>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
came up
<05927> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against Carchemish
<03751>
by Euphrates
<06578>_:
and Josiah
<02977>
went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
him. {temple: Heb. house}
But he sent
<07971> (8799)
ambassadors
<04397>
to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What have I to do with thee, thou king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
[I come] not against thee this day
<03117>_,
but against the house
<01004>
wherewith I have war
<04421>_:
for God
<0430>
commanded
<0559> (8804)
me to make haste
<0926> (8763)_:
forbear
<02308> (8798)
thee from [meddling with] God
<0430>_,
who [is] with me, that he destroy
<07843> (8686)
thee not. {the house...: Heb. the house of my war}
Nevertheless Josiah
<02977>
would not turn
<05437> (8689)
his face
<06440>
from him, but disguised
<02664> (8694)
himself, that he might fight
<03898> (8736)
with him, and hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto the words
<01697>
of Necho
<05224>
from the mouth
<06310>
of God
<0430>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
in the valley
<01237>
of Megiddo
<04023>_.
And the archers
<03384> (8802)
shot
<03384> (8686)
at king
<04428>
Josiah
<02977>_;
and the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
to his servants
<05650>_,
Have me away
<05674> (8685)_;
for I am sore
<03966>
wounded
<02470> (8717)_.
{wounded: Heb. made sick}
His servants
<05650>
therefore took
<05674> (8686)
him out of that chariot
<04818>_,
and put
<07392> (8686)
him in the second
<04932>
chariot
<07393>
that he had; and they brought
<03212> (8686)
him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in [one of] the sepulchres
<06913>
of his fathers
<01>_.
And all Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
mourned
<056> (8693)
for Josiah
<02977>_.
{in one...: or, among the sepulchres}
And Jeremiah
<03414>
lamented
<06969> (8787)
for Josiah
<02977>_:
and all the singing men
<07891> (8802)
and the singing women
<07891> (8802)
spake
<0559> (8799)
of Josiah
<02977>
in their lamentations
<07015>
to this day
<03117>_,
and made
<05414> (8799)
them an ordinance
<02706>
in Israel
<03478>_:
and, behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the lamentations
<07015>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Josiah
<02977>_,
and his goodness
<02617>_,
according to [that which was] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
{goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
And his deeds
<01697>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_.
Then the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
took
<03947> (8799)
Jehoahaz
<03059>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>_,
and made him king
<04427> (8686)
in his father's
<01>
stead in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Jehoahaz
<03099>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and three
<07969>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
three
<07969>
months
<02320>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
put him down
<05493> (8686)
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and condemned
<06064> (8799)
the land
<0776>
in an hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>
of silver
<03701>
and a talent
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_.
{put...: Heb. removed him}
And the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
made Eliakim
<0471>
his brother
<0251>
king
<04427> (8686)
over Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and turned
<05437> (8686)
his name
<08034>
to Jehoiakim
<03079>_.
And Necho
<05224>
took
<03947> (8804)
Jehoahaz
<03099>
his brother
<0251>_,
and carried
<0935> (8686)
him to Egypt
<04714>_.
Jehoiakim
<03079>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
eleven
<0259> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_.
Against him came up
<05927> (8804)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him in fetters
<05178>_,
to carry
<03212> (8687)
him to Babylon
<0894>_.
{fetters: or, chains}
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
also carried
<0935> (8689)
of the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
them in his temple
<01964>
at Babylon
<0894>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,
and his abominations
<08441>
which he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and that which was found
<04672> (8737)
in him, behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_:
and Jehoiachin
<03078>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Jehoiachin: also called, Jeconiah, or, Coniah}
Jehoiachin
<03078>
[was] eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
three
<07969>
months
<02320>
and ten
<06235>
days
<03117>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And when the year
<08141>
was expired
<08666>_,
king
<04428>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
sent
<07971> (8804)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to Babylon
<0894>_,
with the goodly
<02532>
vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and made Zedekiah
<06667>
his brother
<0251>
king
<04427> (8686)
over Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{when...: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly...: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah...: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}
Zedekiah
<06667>
[was] one
<0259>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
eleven
<0259> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_,
[and] humbled
<03665> (8738)
not himself before
<06440>
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
[speaking] from the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And he also rebelled
<04775> (8804)
against king
<04428>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>_,
who had made him swear
<07650> (8689)
by God
<0430>_:
but he stiffened
<07185> (8686)
his neck
<06203>_,
and hardened
<0553> (8762)
his heart
<03824>
from turning
<07725> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Moreover all the chief
<08269>
of the priests
<03548>_,
and the people
<05971>_,
transgressed
<04603> (8800)
very
<04604>
much
<07235> (8689)
after all the abominations
<08441>
of the heathen
<01471>_;
and polluted
<02930> (8762)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
which he had hallowed
<06942> (8689)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to them by
<03027>
his messengers
<04397>_,
rising up betimes
<07925> (8687)_,
and sending
<07971> (8800)_;
because he had compassion
<02550> (8804)
on his people
<05971>_,
and on his dwelling place
<04583>_:
{by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mocked
<03931> (8688)
the messengers
<04397>
of God
<0430>_,
and despised
<0959> (8802)
his words
<01697>_,
and misused
<08591> (8700)
his prophets
<05030>_,
until the wrath
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>
arose
<05927> (8800)
against his people
<05971>_,
till [there was] no remedy
<04832>_.
{remedy: Heb. healing}
Therefore he brought
<05927> (8686)
upon them the king
<04428>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_,
who slew
<02026> (8799)
their young men
<0970>
with the sword
<02719>
in the house
<01004>
of their sanctuary
<04720>_,
and had no compassion
<02550> (8804)
upon young man
<0970>
or maiden
<01330>_,
old man
<02205>_,
or him that stooped for age
<03486>_:
he gave
<05414> (8804)
[them] all into his hand
<03027>_.
And all the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
great
<01419>
and small
<06996>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king
<04428>_,
and of his princes
<08269>_;
all [these] he brought
<0935> (8689)
to Babylon
<0894>_.
And they burnt
<08313> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and brake down
<05422> (8762)
the wall
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8804)
all the palaces
<0759>
thereof with fire
<0784>_,
and destroyed
<07843> (8687)
all the goodly
<04261>
vessels
<03627>
thereof.
And them that had escaped
<07611>
from the sword
<02719>
carried he away
<01540> (8686)
to Babylon
<0894>_;
where they were servants
<05650>
to him and his sons
<01121>
until the reign
<04427> (8800)
of the kingdom
<04438>
of Persia
<06539>_:
{them...: Heb. the remainder from the sword}
To fulfil
<04390> (8763)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
by the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
until the land
<0776>
had enjoyed
<07521> (8804)
her sabbaths
<07676>_:
[for] as long as
<03117>
she lay desolate
<08074> (8715)
she kept sabbath
<07673> (8804)_,
to fulfil
<04390> (8763)
threescore and ten
<07657>
years
<08141>_.
Now in the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
[spoken] by the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
might be accomplished
<03615> (8800)_,
the LORD
<03068>
stirred up
<05782> (8689)
the spirit
<07307>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
that he made a proclamation
<05674> (8686) <06963>
throughout all his kingdom
<04438>_,
and [put it] also in writing
<04385>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
All the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>
hath the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>
given
<05414> (8804)
me; and he hath charged
<06485> (8804)
me to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which [is] in Judah
<03063>_.
Who [is there] among you of all his people
<05971>_?
The LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[be] with him, and let him go up
<05927> (8799)_.
