{long...: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}

19:26

Therefore their inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

were of small
<07116>

power
<03027>_,

they were dismayed
<02865> (8804)

and confounded
<0954> (8799)_;

they were [as] the grass
<06212>

of the field
<07704>_,

and [as] the green
<03419>

herb
<01877>_,

[as] the grass
<02682>

on the housetops
<01406>_,

and [as corn] blasted
<07711>

before
<06440>

it be grown up
<07054>_.

{of small...: Heb. short of hand}

19:27

But I know
<03045> (8804)

thy abode
<03427> (8800)_,

and thy going out
<03318> (8800)_,

and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)_,

and thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me. {abode: or, sitting}

19:28

Because thy rage
<07264> (8692)

against me and thy tumult
<07600>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

into mine ears
<0241>_,

therefore I will put
<07760> (8804)

my hook
<02397>

in thy nose
<0639>_,

and my bridle
<04964>

in thy lips
<08193>_,

and I will turn thee back
<07725> (8689)

by the way
<01870>

by which thou camest
<0935> (8804)_.

19:29

And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto thee, Ye shall eat
<0398> (8800)

this year
<08141>

such things as grow
<05599>

of themselves, and in the second
<08145>

year
<08141>

that which springeth
<07823>

of the same; and in the third
<07992>

year
<08141>

sow
<02232> (8798)

ye, and reap
<07114> (8798)_,

and plant
<05193> (8798)

vineyards
<03754>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

the fruits
<06529>

thereof.

19:30

And the remnant
<07604> (8737)

that is escaped
<06413>

of the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

shall yet again
<03254> (8804)

take root
<08328>

downward
<04295>_,

and bear
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<06529>

upward
<04605>_.

{remnant...: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}

19:31

For out of Jerusalem
<03389>

shall go forth
<03318> (8799)

a remnant
<07611>_,

and they that escape
<06413>

out of mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_:

the zeal
<07068>

of the LORD
<03068>

[of hosts (8675)
<06635>_]

shall do
<06213> (8799)

this. {they...: Heb. the escaping}

19:32

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

He shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

nor shoot
<03384> (8686)

an arrow
<02671>

there, nor come before
<06923> (8762)

it with shield
<04043>_,

nor cast
<08210> (8799)

a bank
<05550>

against it.

19:33

By the way
<01870>

that he came
<0935> (8799)_,

by the same shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,

and shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into this city
<05892>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

19:34

For I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>_,

to save
<03467> (8687)

it, for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

19:35

And it came to pass that night
<03915>_,

that the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

in the camp
<04264>

of the Assyrians
<0804>

an hundred
<03967>

fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>_:

and when they arose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

behold, they [were] all dead
<04191> (8801)

corpses
<06297>_.

19:36

So Sennacherib
<05576>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

departed
<05265> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Nineveh
<05210>_.

19:37

And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
<07812> (8693)

in the house
<01004>

of Nisroch
<05268>

his god
<0430>_,

that Adrammelech
<0152>

and Sharezer
<08272>

his sons
<01121>

smote
<05221> (8689)

him with the sword
<02719>_:

and they escaped
<04422> (8738)

into the land
<0776>

of Armenia
<0780>_.

And Esarhaddon
<0634>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}

20:1

In those days
<03117>

was Hezekiah
<02396>

sick
<02470> (8804)

unto death
<04191> (8800)_.

And the prophet
<05030>

Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

came
<0935> (8799)

to him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Set thine house
<01004>

in order
<06680> (8761)_;

for thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

and not live
<02421> (8799)_.

{Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house}

20:2

Then he turned
<05437> (8686)

his face
<06440>

to the wall
<07023>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:3

I beseech
<0577>

thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

remember
<02142> (8798)

now how I have walked
<01980> (8694)

before
<06440>

thee in truth
<0571>

and with a perfect
<08003>

heart
<03824>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

And Hezekiah
<02396>

wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>

sore
<01419>_.

{sore: Heb. with a great weeping}

20:4

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah
<03470>

was gone out
<03318> (8804)

into the middle
<08484>

court
<02691> (8675) <05892>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{court: or, city}

20:5

Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,

and tell
<0559> (8804)

Hezekiah
<02396>

the captain
<05057>

of my people
<05971>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy tears
<01832>_:

behold, I will heal
<07495> (8802)

thee: on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

thou shalt go up
<05927> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:6

And I will add
<03254> (8689)

unto thy days
<03117>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_;

and I will deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee and this city
<05892>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and I will defend
<01598> (8804)

this city
<05892>

for mine own sake, and for my servant
<05650>

David's
<01732>

sake.

20:7

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

a lump
<01690>

of figs
<08384>_.

And they took
<03947> (8799)

and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] on the boil
<07822>_,

and he recovered
<02421> (8799)_.

20:8

And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

What [shall be] the sign
<0226>

that the LORD
<03068>

will heal
<07495> (8799)

me, and that I shall go up
<05927> (8804)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_?

20:9

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This sign
<0226>

shalt thou have of the LORD
<03068>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

the thing
<01697>

that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:

shall the shadow
<06738>

go forward
<01980> (8804)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_,

or go back
<07725> (8799)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_?

20:10

And Hezekiah
<03169>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

It is a light thing
<07043> (8738)

for the shadow
<06738>

to go down
<05186> (8800)

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_:

nay, but let the shadow
<06738>

return
<07725> (8799)

backward
<0322>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>_.

20:11

And Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and he brought
<07725> (8686)

the shadow
<06738>

ten
<06235>

degrees
<04609>

backward
<0322>_,

by
<04609>

which it had gone down
<03381> (8804)

in the dial
<04609>

of Ahaz
<0271>_.

{dial: Heb. degrees}

20:12

At that time
<06256>

Berodachbaladan
<01255>_,

the son
<01121>

of Baladan
<01081>_,

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

sent
<07971> (8804)

letters
<05612>

and a present
<04503>

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_:

for he had heard
<08085> (8804)

that Hezekiah
<02396>

had been sick
<02470> (8804)_.

{Berodachbaladan: or, Merodachbaladan}

20:13

And Hezekiah
<02396>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto them, and shewed
<07200> (8686)

them all the house
<01004>

of his precious things
<05238>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the gold
<02091>_,

and the spices
<01314>_,

and the precious
<02896>

ointment
<08081>_,

and [all] the house
<01004>

of his armour
<03627>_,

and all that was found
<04672> (8738)

in his treasures
<0214>_:

there was nothing
<01697>

in his house
<01004>_,

nor in all his dominion
<04475>_,

that Hezekiah
<02396>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels}

20:14

Then came
<0935> (8799)

Isaiah
<03470>

the prophet
<05030>

unto king
<04428>

Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What said
<0559> (8804)

these men
<0582>_?

and from whence
<0370>

came
<0935> (8799)

they unto thee? And Hezekiah
<02396>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They are come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>_,

[even] from Babylon
<0894>_.

20:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have they seen
<07200> (8804)

in thine house
<01004>_?

And Hezekiah
<02396>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

All [the things] that [are] in mine house
<01004>

have they seen
<07200> (8804)_:

there is nothing
<01697>

among my treasures
<0214>

that I have not shewed
<07200> (8689)

them.

20:16

And Isaiah
<03470>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hezekiah
<02396>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:17

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

that all that [is] in thine house
<01004>_,

and that which thy fathers
<01>

have laid up in store
<0686> (8804)

unto this day
<03117>_,

shall be carried
<05375> (8738)

into Babylon
<0894>_:

nothing
<01697>

shall be left
<03498> (8735)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

20:18

And of thy sons
<01121>

that shall issue
<03318> (8799)

from thee, which thou shalt beget
<03205> (8686)_,

shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_;

and they shall be eunuchs
<05631>

in the palace
<01964>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

20:19

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Hezekiah
<02396>

unto Isaiah
<03470>_,

Good
<02896>

[is] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] not [good], if peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>

be in my days
<03117>_?

{Is it...: or, Shall there not be peace and truth, etc}

20:20

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Hezekiah
<02396>_,

and all his might
<01369>_,

and how he made
<06213> (8804)

a pool
<01295>_,

and a conduit
<08585>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

water
<04325>

into the city
<05892>_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

20:21

And Hezekiah
<02396>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and Manasseh
<04519>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

21:1

Manasseh
<04519>

[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

fifty
<02572>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Hephzibah
<02657>_.

21:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

after the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:3

For he built up
<01129> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

the high places
<01116>

which Hezekiah
<02396>

his father
<01>

had destroyed
<06> (8765)_;

and he reared up
<06965> (8686)

altars
<04196>

for Baal
<01168>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

as did
<06213> (8804)

Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them.

21:4

And he built
<01129> (8804)

altars
<04196>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

of which the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

In Jerusalem
<03389>

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>_.

21:5

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>_.

21:6

And he made his son
<01121>

pass
<05674> (8689)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and observed times
<06049> (8782)_,

and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,

and dealt
<06213> (8804)

with familiar spirits
<0178>

and wizards
<03049>_:

he wrought
<06213> (8800)

much
<07235> (8689)

wickedness
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to provoke [him] to anger
<03707> (8687)_.

21:7

And he set
<07760> (8799)

a graven image
<06459>

of the grove
<0842>

that he had made
<06213> (8804)

in the house
<01004>_,

of which the LORD
<03068>

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)

out of all tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

will I put
<07760> (8799)

my name
<08034>

for ever
<05769>_:

21:8

Neither will I make the feet
<07272>

of Israel
<03478>

move
<05110> (8687)

any more
<03254> (8686)

out of the land
<0127>

which I gave
<05414> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_;

only if they will observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

them, and according to all the law
<08451>

that my servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

them.

21:9

But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not: and Manasseh
<04519>

seduced
<08582> (8686)

them to do
<06213> (8800)

more evil
<07451>

than did the nations
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

destroyed
<08045> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:10

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

by
<03027>

his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:11

Because Manasseh
<04519>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

these abominations
<08441>_,

[and] hath done wickedly
<07489> (8689)

above all that the Amorites
<0567>

did
<06213> (8804)_,

which [were] before
<06440>

him, and hath made Judah
<03063>

also to sin
<02398> (8686)

with his idols
<01544>_:

21:12

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Behold, I [am] bringing
<0935> (8688)

[such] evil
<07451>

upon Jerusalem
<03389>

and Judah
<03063>_,

that whosoever heareth
<08085> (8802)

of it, both
<08147>

his ears
<0241>

shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.

21:13

And I will stretch
<05186> (8804)

over Jerusalem
<03389>

the line
<06957>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and the plummet
<04949>

of the house
<01004>

of Ahab
<0256>_:

and I will wipe
<04229> (8804)

Jerusalem
<03389>

as [a man] wipeth
<04229> (8799)

a dish
<06747>_,

wiping
<04229> (8804)

[it], and turning
<02015> (8804)

[it] upside down
<06440>_.

{wiping...: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}

21:14

And I will forsake
<05203> (8804)

the remnant
<07611>

of mine inheritance
<05159>_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

them into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

and they shall become a prey
<0957>

and a spoil
<04933>

to all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;

21:15

Because they have done
<06213> (8804)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in my sight
<05869>_,

and have provoked
<04480>

me to anger
<03707> (8688)_,

since the day
<03117>

their fathers
<01>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_.

21:16

Moreover Manasseh
<04519>

shed
<08210> (8804)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

very
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)_,

till he had filled
<04390> (8765)

Jerusalem
<03389>

from one end
<06310>

to another
<06310>_;

beside his sin
<02403>

wherewith he made Judah
<03063>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

in doing
<06213> (8800)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth}

21:17

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his sin
<02403>

that he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

21:18

And Manasseh
<04519>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in the garden
<01588>

of his own house
<01004>_,

in the garden
<01588>

of Uzza
<05798>_:

and Amon
<0526>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

21:19

Amon
<0526>

[was] twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

two
<08147>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Meshullemeth
<04922>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Haruz
<02743>

of Jotbah
<03192>_.

21:20

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as his father
<01>

Manasseh
<04519>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

21:21

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the way
<01870>

that his father
<01>

walked in
<01980> (8804)_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

the idols
<01544>

that his father
<01>

served
<05647> (8804)_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

them:

21:22

And he forsook
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

not in the way
<01870>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

21:23

And the servants
<05650>

of Amon
<0526>

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

the king
<04428>

in his own house
<01004>_.

21:24

And 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 Josiah
<02977>

his son
<01121>

king
<04427> (8686)

in his stead.

21:25

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Amon
<0526>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

21:26

And he was buried
<06912> (8799)

in his sepulchre
<06900>

in the garden
<01588>

of Uzza
<05798>_:

and Josiah
<02977>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}

22:1

Josiah
<02977>

[was] eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

thirty
<07970>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jedidah
<03040>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Adaiah
<05718>

of Boscath
<01218>_.

22:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the way
<01870>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_,

and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)

to the right hand
<03225>

or to the left
<08040>_.

22:3

And it came to pass in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_,

[that] the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8804)

Shaphan
<08227>

the son
<01121>

of Azaliah
<0683>_,

the son
<01121>

of Meshullam
<04918>_,

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:4

Go up
<05927> (8798)

to Hilkiah
<02518>

the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_,

that he may sum
<08552> (8686)

the silver
<03701>

which is brought
<0935> (8716)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which the keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>

have gathered
<0622> (8804)

of the people
<05971>_:

{door: Heb. threshold}

22:5

And let them deliver
<05414> (8799)

it into the hand
<03027>

of the doers
<06213> (8802)

of the work
<04399>_,

that have the oversight
<06485> (8716)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and let them give
<05414> (8799)

it to the doers
<06213> (8802)

of the work
<04399>

which [is] in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_,

22:6

Unto carpenters
<02796>_,

and builders
<01129> (8802)_,

and masons
<01443> (8802)_,

and to buy
<07069> (8800)

timber
<06086>

and hewn
<04274>

stone
<068>

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the house
<01004>_.

22:7

Howbeit there was no reckoning made
<02803> (8735)

with them of the money
<03701>

that was delivered
<05414> (8737)

into their hand
<03027>_,

because they dealt
<06213> (8802)

faithfully
<0530>_.

22:8

And Hilkiah
<02518>

the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto 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>

gave
<05414> (8799)

the book
<05612>

to Shaphan
<08227>_,

and he read
<07121> (8799)

it.

22:9

And Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servants
<05650>

have gathered
<05413> (8689)

the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>_,

and have delivered
<05414> (8799)

it into the hand
<03027>

of them that do
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_,

that have the oversight
<06485> (8716)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{gathered: Heb. melted}

22:10

And Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

shewed
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

me a book
<05612>_.

And Shaphan
<08227>

read
<07121> (8799)

it before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

22:11

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

had heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>_,

that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_.

22:12

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Ahikam
<0296>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Achbor
<05907>

the son
<01121>

of Michaiah
<04320>_,

and Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Asahiah
<06222>

a servant
<05650>

of the king's
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{Achbor: or, Abdon} {Michaiah: or, Micah}

22:13

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye, enquire
<01875> (8798)

of the LORD
<03068>

for me, and for the people
<05971>_,

and for all Judah
<03063>_,

concerning the words
<01697>

of this book
<05612>

that is found
<04672> (8737)_:

for great
<01419>

[is] the wrath
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>

that is kindled
<03341> (8738)

against us, because our fathers
<01>

have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto the words
<01697>

of this book
<05612>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

according unto all that which is written
<03789> (8803)

concerning us.

22:14

So Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Ahikam
<0296>_,

and Achbor
<05907>_,

and Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Asahiah
<06222>_,

went
<03212> (8799)

unto Huldah
<02468>

the prophetess
<05031>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Tikvah
<08616>_,

the son
<01121>

of Harhas
<02745>_,

keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the wardrobe
<0899>_;

(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

in the college
<04932>;)

and they communed
<01696> (8762)

with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the...: or, in the second part}

22:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Tell
<0559> (8798)

the man
<0376>

that sent
<07971> (8804)

you to me,

22:16

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 words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

which the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

hath read
<07121> (8804)_:

22:17

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762)

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 kindled
<03341> (8738)

against this place
<04725>_,

and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

22:18

But to the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

which sent
<07971> (8802)

you to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[As touching] the words
<01697>

which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_;

22:19

Because thine heart
<03824>

was tender
<07401> (8804)_,

and thou hast humbled
<03665> (8735)

thyself before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)

what I spake
<01696> (8765)

against this place
<04725>_,

and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof, that they should become a desolation
<08047>

and a curse
<07045>_,

and hast rent
<07167> (8799)

thy clothes
<0899>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

before
<06440>

me; I also have heard
<08085> (8804)

[thee], saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

22:20

Behold therefore, I will gather
<0622> (8802)

thee unto thy fathers
<01>_,

and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)

into thy grave
<06913>

in peace
<07965>_;

and thine eyes
<05869>

shall not see
<07200> (8799)

all the evil
<07451>

which I will bring
<0935> (8688)

upon this place
<04725>_.

And they brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

23:1

And the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and they gathered
<0622> (8799)

unto him all the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>

and of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

23:2

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 all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

with him, and the priests
<03548>_,

and the prophets
<05030>_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_:

and he read
<07121> (8799)

in their ears
<0241>

all the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

of the covenant
<01285>

which was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{both...: Heb. from small even unto great}

23:3

And the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by a pillar
<05982>_,

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
<02708>

with all [their] heart
<03820>

and all [their] soul
<05315>_,

to perform
<06965> (8687)

the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>

that were written
<03789> (8803)

in this book
<05612>_.

And all the people
<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

to the covenant
<01285>_.

23:4

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Hilkiah
<02518>

the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_,

and the priests
<03548>

of the second order
<04932>_,

and the keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>_,

to bring forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>

all the vessels
<03627>

that were made
<06213> (8803)

for Baal
<01168>_,

and for the grove
<0842>_,

and for all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_:

and he burned
<08313> (8799)

them without
<02351>

Jerusalem
<03389>

in the fields
<07709>

of Kidron
<06939>_,

and carried
<05375> (8804)

the ashes
<06083>

of them unto Bethel
<01008>_.

23:5

And he put down
<07673> (8689)

the idolatrous priests
<03649>_,

whom the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

had ordained
<05414> (8804)

to burn incense
<06999> (8762)

in the high places
<01116>

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the places round about
<04524>

Jerusalem
<03389>_;

them also that burned incense
<06999> (8764)

unto Baal
<01168>_,

to the sun
<08121>_,

and to the moon
<03394>_,

and to the planets
<04208>_,

and to all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_.

{put...: Heb. caused to cease} {idolatrous...: Heb. Chemarim} {planets: or, twelve signs or, constellations}

23:6

And he brought out
<03318> (8686)

the grove
<0842>

from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

without
<02351>

Jerusalem
<03389>_,

unto the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

it at the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_,

and stamped [it] small
<01854> (8686)

to powder
<06083>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

the powder
<06083>

thereof upon the graves
<06913>

of the children
<01121>

of the people
<05971>_.

23:7

And he brake down
<05422> (8799)

the houses
<01004>

of the sodomites
<06945>_,

that [were] by the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

where the women
<0802>

wove
<0707> (8802)

hangings
<01004>

for the grove
<0842>_.

{hangings: Heb. houses}

23:8

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

all the priests
<03548>

out of the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and defiled
<02930> (8762)

the high places
<01116>

where the priests
<03548>

had burned incense
<06999> (8765)_,

from Geba
<01387>

to Beersheba
<0884>_,

and brake down
<05422> (8804)

the high places
<01116>

of the gates
<08179>

that [were] in the entering in
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of Joshua
<03091>

the governor
<08269>

of the city
<05892>_,

which [were] on a man's
<0376>

left hand
<08040>

at the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_.

23:9

Nevertheless the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

came not up
<05927> (8799)

to the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

but they did eat
<0398> (8804)

of the unleavened bread
<04682>

among
<08432>

their brethren
<0251>_.

23:10

And he defiled
<02930> (8765)

Topheth
<08612>_,

which [is] in the valley
<01516>

of the children
<01121> (8675) <01121>

of Hinnom
<02011>_,

that no man
<0376>

might make his son
<01121>

or his daughter
<01323>

to pass through
<05674> (8687)

the fire
<0784>

to Molech
<04432>_.

23:11

And he took away
<07673> (8686)

the horses
<05483>

that the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

had given
<05414> (8804)

to the sun
<08121>_,

at the entering in
<0935> (8800)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

by the chamber
<03957>

of Nathanmelech
<05419>

the chamberlain
<05631>_,

which [was] in the suburbs
<06503>_,

and burned
<08313> (8804)

the chariots
<04818>

of the sun
<08121>

with fire
<0784>_.

{chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer}

23:12

And the altars
<04196>

that [were] on the top
<01406>

of the upper chamber
<05944>

of Ahaz
<0271>_,

which the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

and the altars
<04196>

which Manasseh
<04519>

had made
<06213> (8804)

in the two
<08147>

courts
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

did the king
<04428>

beat down
<05422> (8804)_,

and brake [them] down
<07323> (8799)

from thence, and cast
<07993> (8689)

the dust
<06083>

of them into the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_.

{brake...: or, ran from thence}

23:13

And the high places
<01116>

that [were] before
<06440>

Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which [were] on the right hand
<03225>

of the mount
<02022>

of corruption
<04889>_,

which Solomon
<08010>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

had builded
<01129> (8804)

for Ashtoreth
<06253>

the abomination
<08251>

of the Zidonians
<06722>_,

and for Chemosh
<03645>

the abomination
<08251>

of the Moabites
<04124>_,

and for Milcom
<04445>

the abomination
<08441>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

did the king
<04428>

defile
<02930> (8765)_.

{the mount...: that is, the mount of Olives}

23:14

And he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765)

the images
<04676>_,

and cut down
<03772> (8799)

the groves
<0842>_,

and filled
<04390> (8762)

their places
<04725>

with the bones
<06106>

of men
<0120>_.

{images: Heb. statues}

23:15

Moreover the altar
<04196>

that [was] at Bethel
<01008>_,

[and] the high place
<01116>

which Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_,

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

both that altar
<04196>

and the high place
<01116>

he brake down
<05422> (8804)_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

the high place
<01116>_,

[and] stamped
<01854> (8689)

[it] small to powder
<06083>_,

and burned
<08313> (8804)

the grove
<0842>_.

23:16

And as Josiah
<02977>

turned
<06437> (8799)

himself, he spied
<07200> (8799)

the sepulchres
<06913>

that [were] there in the mount
<02022>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

out of the sepulchres
<06913>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

[them] upon the altar
<04196>_,

and polluted
<02930> (8762)

it, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

proclaimed
<07121> (8804)_,

who proclaimed
<07121> (8804)

these words
<01697>_.

23:17

Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What title
<06725>

[is] that
<01975>

that I see
<07200> (8802)_?

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

told
<0559> (8799)

him, [It is] the sepulchre
<06913>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

which came
<0935> (8804)

from Judah
<03063>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

these things
<01697>

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

against the altar
<04196>

of Bethel
<01008>_.

23:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him alone
<03240> (8685)_;

let no man
<0376>

move
<05128> (8686)

his bones
<06106>_.

So they let his bones
<06106>

alone
<04422> (8762)_,

with the bones
<06106>

of the prophet
<05030>

that came out
<0935> (8804)

of Samaria
<08111>_.

{bones alone: Heb. bones to escape}

23:19

And all the houses
<01004>

also of the high places
<01116>

that [were] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

which the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

had made
<06213> (8804)

to provoke [the LORD] to anger
<03707> (8687)_,

Josiah
<02977>

took away
<05493> (8689)_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

to them according to all the acts
<04639>

that he had done
<06213> (8804)

in Bethel
<01008>_.

23:20

And he slew
<02076> (8799)

all the priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>

that [were] there upon the altars
<04196>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

men's
<0120>

bones
<06106>

upon them, and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{slew: or, sacrificed}

23:21

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Keep
<06213> (8798)

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of this covenant
<01285>_.

23:22

Surely there was not holden
<06213> (8738)

such a passover
<06453>

from the days
<03117>

of the judges
<08199> (8802)

that judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_,

nor in all the days
<03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

nor of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

23:23

But in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>_,

[wherein] this passover
<06453>

was holden
<06213> (8738)

to the LORD
<03068>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

23:24

Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and the wizards
<03049>_,

and the images
<08655>_,

and the idols
<01544>_,

and all the abominations
<08251>

that were spied
<07200> (8738)

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>

and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

did Josiah
<02977>

put away
<01197> (8765)_,

that he might perform
<06965> (8687)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>

which were written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

that Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

found
<04672> (8804)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{images: or, teraphim}

23:25

And like unto him was there no king
<04428>

before
<06440>

him, that turned
<07725> (8804)

to the LORD
<03068>

with all his heart
<03824>_,

and with all his soul
<05315>_,

and with all his might
<03966>_,

according to all the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_;

neither after
<0310>

him arose
<06965> (8804)

there [any] like him.

23:26

Notwithstanding the LORD
<03068>

turned
<07725> (8804)

not from the fierceness
<02740>

of his great
<01419>

wrath
<0639>_,

wherewith his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8804)

against Judah
<03063>_,

because of all the provocations
<03708>

that Manasseh
<04519>

had provoked
<03707> (8689)

him withal. {provocations: Heb. angers}

23:27

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will remove
<05493> (8686)

Judah
<03063>

also out of my sight
<06440>_,

as I have removed
<05493> (8689)

Israel
<03478>_,

and will cast off
<03988> (8804)

this city
<05892>

Jerusalem
<03389>

which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

and the house
<01004>

of which I said
<0559> (8804)_,

My name
<08034>

shall be there.

23:28

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Josiah
<02977>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

23:29

In his days
<03117>

Pharaohnechoh
<06549>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

went up
<05927> (8804)

against the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

to the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_:

and king
<04428>

Josiah
<02977>

went
<03212> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

him; and he slew
<04191> (8686)

him at Megiddo
<04023>_,

when he had seen
<07200> (8800)

him.

23:30

And his servants
<05650>

carried him in a chariot
<07392> (8686)

dead
<04191> (8801)

from Megiddo
<04023>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

him in his own sepulchre
<06900>_.

And the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

took
<03947> (8799)

Jehoahaz
<03059>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

him, and made him king
<04427> (8686)

in his father's
<01>

stead.

23:31

Jehoahaz
<03059>

[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 his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Hamutal
<02537>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

of Libnah
<03841>_.

{Jehoahaz: also called, Shallum}

23:32

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his fathers
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

23:33

And Pharaohnechoh
<06549>

put him in bands
<0631> (8799)

at Riblah
<07247>

in the land
<0776>

of Hamath
<02574>_,

that he might not reign
<04427> (8800)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and put
<05414> (8799)

the land
<0776>

to a tribute
<06066>

of an hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

and a talent
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_.

{that...: or, because he reigned} {put the...: Heb. set a fine upon the land}

23:34

And Pharaohnechoh
<06549>

made Eliakim
<0471>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04427> (8686)

in the room of Josiah
<02977>

his father
<01>_,

and turned
<05437> (8686)

his name
<08034>

to Jehoiakim
<03079>_,

and took
<03947> (0)

Jehoahaz
<03059>

away
<03947> (8804)_:

and he came
<0935> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)

there.

23:35

And Jehoiakim
<03079>

gave
<05414> (8804)

the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

to Pharaoh
<06547>_;

but he taxed
<06186> (8689)

the land
<0776>

to give
<05414> (8800)

the money
<03701>

according to the commandment
<06310>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_:

he exacted
<05065> (8804)

the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

of every one
<0376>

according to his taxation
<06187>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

[it] unto Pharaohnechoh
<06549>_.

23:36

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 his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Zebudah
<02080>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Pedaiah
<06305>

of Rumah
<07316>_.

23:37

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his fathers
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:1

In his days
<03117>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came up
<05927> (8804)_,

and Jehoiakim
<03079>

became his servant
<05650>

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_:

then he turned
<07725> (8799)

and rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against him.

24:2

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

against him bands
<01416>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Moabites
<04124>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

them against Judah
<03063>

to destroy
<06> (8687)

it, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

24:3

Surely at the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

came [this] upon Judah
<03063>_,

to remove
<05493> (8687)

[them] out of his sight
<06440>_,

for the sins
<02403>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

according to all that he did
<06213> (8804)_;

24:4

And also for the innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

that he shed
<08210> (8804)_:

for he filled
<04390> (8762)

Jerusalem
<03389>

with innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_;

which the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not pardon
<05545> (8800)_.

24:5

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

24:6

So Jehoiakim
<03079>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and Jehoiachin
<03078>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

24:7

And the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came
<03318> (8800)

not again
<03254> (8689)

any more out of his land
<0776>_:

for the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

from the river
<05158>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>

all that pertained to the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

24:8

Jehoiachin
<03078>

[was] eighteen
<08083> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

three
<07969>

months
<02320>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Nehushta
<05179>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Elnathan
<0494>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{Jehoiachin: also called Jeconiah and Coniah}

24:9

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his father
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:10

At that time
<06256>

the servants
<05650>

of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the city
<05892>

was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>_.

{was...: Heb. came into siege}

24:11

And Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came
<0935> (8799)

against the city
<05892>_,

and his servants
<05650>

did besiege
<06696> (8802)

it.

24:12

And Jehoiachin
<03078>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

he, and his mother
<0517>_,

and his servants
<05650>_,

and his princes
<08269>_,

and his officers
<05631>_:

and the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

took
<03947> (8799)

him in the eighth
<08083>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

{officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}

24:13

And he carried out
<03318> (8686)

thence all the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and cut in pieces
<07112> (8762)

all the vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

which Solomon
<08010>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

had made
<06213> (8804)

in the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)_.

24:14

And he carried away
<01540> (8689)

all Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and all the princes
<08269>_,

and all the mighty men
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

[even] ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

captives
<01540> (8802)_,

and all the craftsmen
<02796>

and smiths
<04525>_:

none remained
<07604> (8738)_,

save
<02108>

the poorest sort
<01803>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

24:15

And he carried away
<01540> (8686)

Jehoiachin
<03078>

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and the king's
<04428>

mother
<0517>_,

and the king's
<04428>

wives
<0802>_,

and his officers
<05631>_,

and the mighty
<0352> (8675) <0193>

of the land
<0776>_,

[those] carried
<03212> (8689)

he into captivity
<01473>

from Jerusalem
<03389>

to Babylon
<0894>_.

{officers: or, eunuchs}

24:16

And all the men
<0582>

of might
<02428>_,

[even] seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>_,

and craftsmen
<02796>

and smiths
<04525>

a thousand
<0505>_,

all [that were] strong
<01368>

[and] apt
<06213> (8802)

for war
<04421>_,

even them the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

brought
<0935> (8686)

captive
<01473>

to Babylon
<0894>_.

24:17

And the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

made Mattaniah
<04983>

his father's brother
<01730>

king
<04427> (8686)

in his stead, and changed
<05437> (8686)

his name
<08034>

to Zedekiah
<06667>_.

24:18

Zedekiah
<06667>

[was] twenty
<06242>

and one
<0259>

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 his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Hamutal
<02537>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

of Libnah
<03841>_.

24:19

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that Jehoiakim
<03079>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:20

For through the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

it came to pass in Jerusalem
<03389>

and Judah
<03063>_,

until he had cast them out
<07993> (8689)

from his presence
<06440>_,

that Zedekiah
<06667>

rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

25:1

And it came to pass in the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,

in the tenth
<06224>

month
<02320>_,

in the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

he, and all his host
<02428>_,

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

against it; and they built
<01129> (8799)

forts
<01785>

against it round about
<05439>_.

25:2

And the city
<05892>

was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>

unto the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>_.

25:3

And on the ninth
<08672>

[day] of the [fourth] month
<02320>

the famine
<07458>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

in the city
<05892>_,

and there was no bread
<03899>

for the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

25:4

And the city
<05892>

was broken up
<01234> (8735)_,

and all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

[fled] by night
<03915>

by the way
<01870>

of the gate
<08179>

between two walls
<02346>_,

which [is] by the king's
<04428>

garden
<01588>_:

(now the Chaldees
<03778>

[were] against the city
<05892>

round about
<05439>:)

and [the king] went
<03212> (8799)

the way
<01870>

toward the plain
<06160>_.

25:5

And the army
<02428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

the king
<04428>_,

and overtook
<05381> (8686)

him in the plains
<06160>

of Jericho
<03405>_:

and all his army
<02428>

were scattered
<06327> (8738)

from him.

25:6

So they took
<08610> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and brought him up
<05927> (8686)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

to Riblah
<07247>_;

and they gave
<01696> (8762)

judgment
<04941>

upon him. {gave...: Heb. spake judgment with him}

25:7

And they slew
<07819> (8804)

the sons
<01121>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

before his eyes
<05869>_,

and put out
<05786> (8765)

the eyes
<05869>

of Zedekiah
<06667>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him with fetters
<05178>

of brass
<05178>_,

and carried
<0935> (8686)

him to Babylon
<0894>_.

{put...: Heb. made blind}

25:8

And in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_,

on the seventh
<07651>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

which [is] the nineteenth
<08672> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

came
<0935> (8804)

Nebuzaradan
<05018>_,

captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

a servant
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:

{captain...: or, chief marshal}

25:9

And he burnt
<08313> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and all the houses
<01004>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and every great
<01419>

[man's] house
<01004>

burnt
<08313> (8804)

he with fire
<0784>_.

25:10

And all the army
<02428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

that [were with] the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

brake down
<05422> (8804)

the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

round about
<05439>_.

25:11

Now the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

[that were] left
<07604> (8737)

in the city
<05892>_,

and the fugitives
<05307> (8802)

that fell away
<05307> (8804)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

with the remnant
<03499>

of the multitude
<01995>_,

did Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

carry away
<01540> (8689)_.

{fugitives: Heb. fallen away}

25:12

But the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

left
<07604> (8689)

of the poor
<01803>

of the land
<0776>

[to be] vinedressers
<03755>

and husbandmen
<03009> (8802) (8675) <01461> (8801)_.

25:13

And the pillars
<05982>

of brass
<05178>

that [were] in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the bases
<04350>_,

and the brasen
<05178>

sea
<03220>

that [was] in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

did the Chaldees
<03778>

break in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

the brass
<05178>

of them to Babylon
<0894>_.

25:14

And the pots
<05518>_,

and the shovels
<03257>_,

and the snuffers
<04212>_,

and the spoons
<03709>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

of brass
<05178>

wherewith they ministered
<08334> (8762)_,

took they away
<03947> (8804)_.

25:15

And the firepans
<04289>_,

and the bowls
<04219>_,

[and] such things as [were] of gold
<02091>_,

[in] gold
<02091>_,

and of silver
<03701>_,

[in] silver
<03701>_,

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took away
<03947> (8804)_.

25:16

The two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_,

one
<0259>

sea
<03220>_,

and the bases
<04350>

which Solomon
<08010>

had made
<06213> (8804)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

the brass
<05178>

of all these vessels
<03627>

was without
<03808>

weight
<04948>_.

{one...: Heb. the one sea}

25:17

The height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

pillar
<05982>

[was] eighteen
<08083> <06240>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the chapiter
<03805>

upon it [was] brass
<05178>_:

and the height
<06967>

of the chapiter
<03805>

three
<07969>

cubits
<0520>_;

and the wreathen work
<07639>_,

and pomegranates
<07416>

upon the chapiter
<03805>

round about
<05439>_,

all of brass
<05178>_:

and like unto these had the second
<08145>

pillar
<05982>

with wreathen work
<07639>_.

25:18

And the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took
<03947> (8799)

Seraiah
<08304>

the chief
<07218>

priest
<03548>_,

and Zephaniah
<06846>

the second
<04932>

priest
<03548>_,

and the three
<07969>

keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>_:

{door: Heb. threshold}

25:19

And out of the city
<05892>

he took
<03947> (8804)

an
<0259>

officer
<05631>

that was set
<06496>

over the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

and five
<02568>

men
<0582>

of them that were
<07200> (8802)

in the king's
<04428>

presence
<06440>_,

which were found
<04672> (8738)

in the city
<05892>_,

and the principal
<08269>

scribe
<05608> (8802)

of the host
<06635>_,

which mustered
<06633> (8688)

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and threescore
<08346>

men
<0376>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

[that were] found
<04672> (8737)

in the city
<05892>_:

{officer: or, eunuch} {were in...: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host}

25:20

And Nebuzaradan
<05018>

captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took
<03947> (8799)

these, and brought
<03212> (8686)

them to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

to Riblah
<07247>_:

25:21

And the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them, and slew
<04191> (8686)

them at Riblah
<07247>

in the land
<0776>

of Hamath
<02574>_.

So Judah
<03063>

was carried away
<01540> (8799)

out of their land
<0127>_.

25:22

And [as for] the people
<05971>

that remained
<07604> (8737)

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_,

whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had left
<07604> (8689)_,

even over them he made Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

ruler
<06485> (8686)_.

25:23

And when all the captains
<08269>

of the armies
<02428>_,

they and their men
<0582>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

that the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had made Gedaliah
<01436>

governor
<06485> (8689)_,

there came
<0935> (8799)

to Gedaliah
<01436>

to Mizpah
<04709>_,

even Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

and Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Careah
<07143>_,

and Seraiah
<08304>

the son
<01121>

of Tanhumeth
<08576>

the Netophathite
<05200>_,

and Jaazaniah
<02970>

the son
<01121>

of a Maachathite
<04602>_,

they and their men
<0582>_.

25:24

And Gedaliah
<01436>

sware
<07650> (8735)

to them, and to their men
<0582>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not to be the servants
<05650>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_:

dwell
<03427> (8798)

in the land
<0776>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_;

and it shall be well
<03190> (8799)

with you.

25:25

But it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_,

that Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

the son
<01121>

of Elishama
<0476>_,

of the seed
<02233>

royal
<04410>_,

came
<0935> (8804)_,

and ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

Gedaliah
<01436>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_,

and the Jews
<03064>

and the Chaldees
<03778>

that were with him at Mizpah
<04709>_.

{royal: Heb. of the kingdom}

25:26

And all the people
<05971>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the armies
<02428>_,

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_:

for they were afraid
<03372> (8804)

of
<06440>

the Chaldees
<03778>_.

25:27

And it came to pass in the seven
<07651>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of the captivity
<01546>

of Jehoiachin
<03078>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

on the seven
<07651>

and twentieth
<06242>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] Evilmerodach
<0192>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

in the year
<08141>

that he began to reign
<04427> (8800)

did lift up
<05375> (8804)

the head
<07218>

of Jehoiachin
<03078>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

out of prison
<01004> <03608>_;

25:28

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

kindly
<02896>

to him, and set
<05414> (8799)

his throne
<03678>

above the throne
<03678>

of the kings
<04428>

that [were] with him in Babylon
<0894>_;

{kindly...: Heb. good things with him}

25:29

And changed
<08132> (8765)

his prison
<03608>

garments
<0899>_:

and he did eat
<0398> (8804)

bread
<03899>

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

him all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

25:30

And his allowance
<0737>

[was] a continual
<08548>

allowance
<0737>

given
<05414> (8738)

him of the king
<04428>_,

a daily
<03117> <03117>

rate
<01697>

for every day
<03117>_,

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.
