{dedicated things: or, holy things: Heb. holinesses} {that every...: Heb. of the souls of his estimation} {cometh...: Heb. ascendeth upon the heart of a man}

12:5

Let the priests
<03548>

take
<03947> (8799)

[it] to them, every man
<0376>

of his acquaintance
<04378>_:

and let them repair
<02388> (8762)

the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_,

wheresoever any breach
<0919>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)_.

12:6

But it was [so, that] in the three
<07969> <08141>

and twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Jehoash
<03060>

the priests
<03548>

had not repaired
<02388> (8765)

the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_.

{three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year}

12:7

Then king
<04428>

Jehoash
<03060>

called
<07121> (8799)

for Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_,

and the [other] priests
<03548>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why repair
<02388> (8764)

ye not the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_?

now therefore receive
<03947> (8799)

no [more] money
<03701>

of your acquaintance
<04378>_,

but deliver
<05414> (8799)

it for the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_.

12:8

And the priests
<03548>

consented
<0225> (8735)

to receive
<03947> (8800)

no
<01115>

[more] money
<03701>

of the people
<05971>_,

neither
<01115>

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>_.

12:9

But Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>

took
<03947> (8799)

a
<0259>

chest
<0727>_,

and bored
<05344> (8799)

a hole
<02356>

in the lid
<01817>

of it, and set
<05414> (8799)

it beside
<0681>

the altar
<04196>_,

on the right side
<03225>

as one
<0376>

cometh
<0935> (8800)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and the priests
<03548>

that kept
<08104> (8802)

the door
<05592>

put
<05414> (8804)

therein all the money
<03701>

[that was] brought
<0935> (8716)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{door: Heb. threshold}

12:10

And it was [so], when they saw
<07200> (8800)

that [there was] much
<07227>

money
<03701>

in the chest
<0727>_,

that the king's
<04428>

scribe
<05608> (8802)

and the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>

came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and they put up in bags
<06696> (8799)_,

and told
<04487> (8799)

the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{scribe: or, secretary} {put...: Heb. bound up}

12:11

And they gave
<05414> (8804)

the money
<03701>_,

being told
<08505> (8794)_,

into the hands
<03027>

of them that did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_,

that had the oversight
<06485> (8716) (8675) <06485> (8803)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and they laid it out
<03318> (8686)

to the carpenters
<02796> <06086>

and builders
<01129> (8802)_,

that wrought
<06213> (8802)

upon the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

{laid...: Heb. brought it forth}

12:12

And to masons
<01443> (8802)_,

and hewers
<02672> (8802)

of stone
<068>_,

and to buy
<07069> (8800)

timber
<06086>

and hewed
<04274>

stone
<068>

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the breaches
<0919>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for all that was laid out
<03318> (8799)

for the house
<01004>

to repair
<02394>

[it]. {was...: Heb. went forth}

12:13

Howbeit there were not made
<06213> (8735)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

bowls
<05592>

of silver
<03701>_,

snuffers
<04212>_,

basons
<04219>_,

trumpets
<02689>_,

any vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

or vessels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

of the money
<03701>

[that was] brought
<0935> (8716)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

12:14

But they gave
<05414> (8799)

that to the workmen
<04399> <06213> (8802)_,

and repaired
<02388> (8765)

therewith the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:15

Moreover they reckoned
<02803> (8762)

not with the men
<0582>_,

into whose hand
<03027>

they delivered
<05414> (8799)

the money
<03701>

to be bestowed
<05414> (8800)

on workmen
<04399>_:

for they dealt
<06213> (8802)

faithfully
<0530>_.

12:16

The trespass
<0817>

money
<03701>

and sin
<02403>

money
<03701>

was not brought
<0935> (8714)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

it was the priests
<03548>_'.

12:17

Then Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against Gath
<01661>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

it: and Hazael
<02371>

set
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

to go up
<05927> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

12:18

And Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

all the hallowed things
<06944>

that Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

and Jehoram
<03088>_,

and Ahaziah
<0274>_,

his fathers
<01>_,

kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

had dedicated
<06942> (8689)_,

and his own hallowed things
<06944>_,

and all the gold
<02091>

[that was] found
<04672> (8737)

in the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

[it] to Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_:

and he went away
<05927> (8799)

from Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{went...: Heb. went up}

12:19

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Joash
<03101>_,

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>_?

12:20

And his servants
<05650>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and made
<07194> (8799)

a conspiracy
<07195>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

Joash
<03101>

in the house
<01004>

of Millo
<04407> (8677) <01037>_,

which goeth down
<03381> (8802)

to Silla
<05538>_.

{the house...: or, Bethmillo}

12:21

For Jozachar
<03108>

the son
<01121>

of Shimeath
<08100>_,

and Jehozabad
<03075>

the son
<01121>

of Shomer
<07763>_,

his servants
<05650>_,

smote
<05221> (8689)

him, and he died
<04191> (8799)_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Amaziah
<0558>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

13:1

In the three
<07969> <08141>

and twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Jehoahaz
<03059>

the son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] seventeen
<07651> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

{three...: Heb. twentieth year and third year}

13:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

which made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_;

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not therefrom. {followed: Heb. walked after}

13:3

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of Benhadad
<01130>

the son
<01121>

of Hazael
<02371>_,

all [their] days
<03117>_.

13:4

And Jehoahaz
<03059>

besought
<02470> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto
<06440>

him: for he saw
<07200> (8804)

the oppression
<03906>

of Israel
<03478>_,

because the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

oppressed
<03905> (8804)

them.

13:5

(And the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

a saviour
<03467> (8688)_,

so that they went out
<03318> (8799)

from under the hand
<03027>

of the Syrians
<0758>_:

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in their tents
<0168>_,

as beforetime
<08032> <08543>_.

{as beforetime: Heb. as yesterday, and third day}

13:6

Nevertheless they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8689)_,

[but] walked
<01980> (8804)

therein: and there remained
<05975> (8804)

the grove
<0842>

also in Samaria
<08111>.)

{walked: Heb. he walked} {remained: Heb. stood}

13:7

Neither did he leave
<07604> (8689)

of the people
<05971>

to Jehoahaz
<03059>

but fifty
<02572>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and ten
<06235>

chariots
<07393>_,

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_;

for the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

had destroyed
<06> (8765)

them, and had made
<07760> (8799)

them like the dust
<06083>

by threshing
<01758> (8800)_.

13:8

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_,

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

and his might
<01369>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

13:9

And Jehoahaz
<03059>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in Samaria
<08111>_:

and Joash
<03101>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Joash: also called, Jehoash}

13:10

In the thirty
<07970> <08141>

and seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

13:11

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8689)_:

[but] he walked
<01980> (8804)

therein.

13:12

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Joash
<03101>_,

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

and his might
<01369>

wherewith he fought
<03898> (8738)

against Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

13:13

And Joash
<03101>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and Jeroboam
<03379>

sat
<03427> (8804)

upon his throne
<03678>_:

and Joash
<03101>

was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>

with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

13:14

Now Elisha
<0477>

was fallen sick
<02470> (8804)

of his sickness
<02483>

whereof he died
<04191> (8799)_.

And Joash
<03101>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came down
<03381> (8799)

unto him, and wept
<01058> (8799)

over his face
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

O my father
<01>_,

my father
<01>_,

the chariot
<07393>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the horsemen
<06571>

thereof.

13:15

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

bow
<07198>

and arrows
<02671>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

unto him bow
<07198>

and arrows
<02671>_.

13:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Put
<07392> (8685)

thine hand
<03027>

upon the bow
<07198>_.

And he put
<07392> (8686)

his hand
<03027>

[upon it]: and Elisha
<0477>

put
<07760> (8799)

his hands
<03027>

upon the king's
<04428>

hands
<03027>_.

{Put thine...: Heb. Make thine hand to ride}

13:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Open
<06605> (8798)

the window
<02474>

eastward
<06924>_.

And he opened
<06605> (8799)

[it]. Then Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Shoot
<03384> (8798)_.

And he shot
<03384> (8686)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The arrow
<02671>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

deliverance
<08668>_,

and the arrow
<02671>

of deliverance
<08668>

from Syria
<0758>_:

for thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)

the Syrians
<0758>

in Aphek
<0663>_,

till thou have consumed
<03615> (8763)

[them].

13:18

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

the arrows
<02671>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

[them]. And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

upon the ground
<0776>_.

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

thrice
<07969> <06471>_,

and stayed
<05975> (8799)_.

13:19

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

was wroth
<07107> (8799)

with him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shouldest have smitten
<05221> (8687)

five
<02568>

or six
<08337>

times
<06471>_;

then hadst thou smitten
<05221> (8689)

Syria
<0758>

till thou hadst consumed
<03615> (8763)

[it]: whereas now thou shalt smite
<05221> (8686)

Syria
<0758>

[but] thrice
<07969> <06471>_.

13:20

And Elisha
<0477>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him. And the bands
<01416>

of the Moabites
<04124>

invaded
<0935> (8799)

the land
<0776>

at the coming in
<0935> (8802)

of the year
<08141>_.

13:21

And it came to pass, as they were burying
<06912> (8802)

a man
<0376>_,

that, behold, they spied
<07200> (8804)

a band
<01416>

[of men]; and they cast
<07993> (8686)

the man
<0376>

into the sepulchre
<06913>

of Elisha
<0477>_:

and when the man
<0376>

was let down
<03212> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the bones
<06106>

of Elisha
<0477>_,

he revived
<02421> (8799)_,

and stood up
<06965> (8799)

on his feet
<07272>_.

{was...: Heb. went down}

13:22

But Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

oppressed
<03905> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

all the days
<03117>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>_.

13:23

And the LORD
<03068>

was gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto them, and had compassion
<07355> (8762)

on them, and had respect
<06437> (8799)

unto them, because of
<04616>

his covenant
<01285>

with Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and Jacob
<03290>_,

and would
<014> (8804)

not destroy
<07843> (8687)

them, neither cast
<07993> (8689)

he them from his presence
<06440>

as yet
<05704>_.

{presence: Heb. face}

13:24

So Hazael
<02371>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and Benhadad
<01130>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

13:25

And Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

took
<03947> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)

out of the hand
<03027>

of Benhadad
<01130>

the son
<01121>

of Hazael
<02371>

the cities
<05892>_,

which he had taken
<03947> (8804)

out of the hand
<03027>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

his father
<01>

by war
<04421>_.

Three
<07969>

times
<06471>

did Joash
<03101>

beat
<05221> (8689)

him, and recovered
<07725> (8686)

the cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{took...: Heb. returned and took}

14:1

In the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Joash
<03101>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03099>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

14:2

He was twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

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

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

twenty
<06242>

and nine
<08672>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jehoaddan
<03086>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

14:3

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

yet
<07535>

not like David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

he did
<06213> (8804)

according to all things as Joash
<03101>

his father
<01>

did
<06213> (8804)_.

14:4

Howbeit the high places
<01116>

were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_:

as yet
<05750>

the people
<05971>

did sacrifice
<02076> (8764)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8764)

on the high places
<01116>_.

14:5

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom
<04467>

was confirmed
<02388> (8804)

in his hand
<03027>_,

that he slew
<05221> (8686)

his servants
<05650>

which had slain
<05221> (8688)

the king
<04428>

his father
<01>_.

14:6

But the children
<01121>

of the murderers
<05221> (8688)

he slew
<04191> (8689)

not: according unto that which is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

wherein the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The fathers
<01>

shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the children
<01121>_,

nor the children
<01121>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

for the fathers
<01>_;

but every man
<0376>

shall be put to death
<04191> (8799)

for his own sin
<02399>_.

14:7

He slew
<05221> (8689)

of Edom
<0123>

in the valley
<01516>

of salt
<04417>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>_,

and took
<08610> (8804)

Selah
<05554>

by war
<04421>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of it Joktheel
<03371>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Selah: or, the rock}

14:8

Then Amaziah
<0558>

sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to Jehoash
<03060>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

son
<01121>

of Jehu
<03058>_,

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us look
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>_.

14:9

And Jehoash
<03060>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The thistle
<02336>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>

sent
<07971> (8804)

to the cedar
<0730>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

thy daughter
<01323>

to my son
<01121>

to wife
<0802>_:

and there passed
<05674> (8799)

by a wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

that [was] in Lebanon
<03844>_,

and trode down
<07429> (8799)

the thistle
<02336>_.

14:10

Thou hast indeed
<05221> (8687)

smitten
<05221> (8689)

Edom
<0123>_,

and thine heart
<03820>

hath lifted thee up
<05375> (8804)_:

glory
<03513> (8734)

[of this], and tarry
<03427> (8798)

at home
<01004>_:

for why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691)

to [thy] hurt
<07451>_,

that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804)_,

[even] thou, and Judah
<03063>

with thee? {at home: Heb. at thy house}

14:11

But Amaziah
<0558>

would not hear
<08085> (8804)_.

Therefore Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and he and Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

looked
<07200> (8691)

one another in the face
<06440>

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_.

14:12

And Judah
<03063>

was put to the worse
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

every man
<0376>

to their tents
<0168>_.

{put...: Heb. smitten}

14:13

And Jehoash
<03060>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

took
<08610> (8804)

Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jehoash
<03060>

the son
<01121>

of Ahaziah
<0274>_,

at Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and brake down
<06555> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

from the gate
<08179>

of Ephraim
<0669>

unto the corner
<06438>

gate
<08179>_,

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

cubits
<0520>_.

14:14

And he took
<03947> (8804)

all the gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

that were found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and hostages
<01121> <08594>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_.

14:15

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoash
<03060>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and his might
<01369>_,

and how he fought
<03898> (8738)

with Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

14:16

And Jehoash
<03060>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Samaria
<08111>

with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Jeroboam
<03379>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

14:17

And Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

lived
<02421> (8799)

after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Jehoash
<03060>

son
<01121>

of Jehoahaz
<03059>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

fifteen
<02568> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

14:18

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Amaziah
<0558>_,

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

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

14:19

Now they made
<07194> (8799)

a conspiracy
<07195>

against him in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and he fled
<05127> (8799)

to Lachish
<03923>_;

but they sent
<07971> (8799)

after
<0310>

him to Lachish
<03923>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him there.

14:20

And they brought
<05375> (8799)

him on horses
<05483>_:

and he was buried
<06912> (8735)

at Jerusalem
<03389>

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

14:21

And all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

Azariah
<05838>_,

which [was] sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

and made him king
<04427> (8686)

instead of his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>_.

{Azariah: also called, Uzziah}

14:22

He built
<01129> (8804)

Elath
<0359>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

it to Judah
<03063>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

slept
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_.

14:23

In the fifteenth
<02568> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Amaziah
<0558>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] forty
<0705>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>_.

14:24

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

14:25

He restored
<07725> (8689)

the coast
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>

from the entering
<0935> (8800)

of Hamath
<02574>

unto the sea
<03220>

of the plain
<06160>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of his servant
<05650>

Jonah
<03124>_,

the son
<01121>

of Amittai
<0573>_,

the prophet
<05030>_,

which [was] of Gathhepher
<01662>_.

14:26

For the LORD
<03068>

saw
<07200> (8804)

the affliction
<06040>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[that it was] very
<03966>

bitter
<04784> (8802)_:

for [there was] not
<0657>

any shut up
<06113> (8803)_,

nor any left
<05800> (8803)_,

nor any helper
<05826> (8802)

for Israel
<03478>_.

14:27

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<01696> (8765)

not that he would blot out
<04229> (8800)

the name
<08034>

of Israel
<03478>

from under heaven
<08064>_:

but he saved
<03467> (8686)

them by the hand
<03027>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>_.

14:28

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

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

and his might
<01369>_,

how he warred
<03898> (8738)_,

and how he recovered
<07725> (8689)

Damascus
<01834>_,

and Hamath
<02574>_,

[which belonged] to Judah
<03063>_,

for Israel
<03478>_,

are they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

14:29

And Jeroboam
<03379>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

[even] with the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and Zachariah
<02148>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:1

In the twenty
<06242> <08141>

and seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

began Azariah
<05838>

son
<01121>

of Amaziah
<0558>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

{Azariah: also called, Uzziah}

15:2

Sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

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

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

two
<08147>

and fifty
<02572>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jecholiah
<03203>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

15:3

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his father
<01>

Amaziah
<0558>

had done
<06213> (8804)_;

15:4

Save that the high places
<01116>

were not removed
<05493> (8804)_:

the people
<05971>

sacrificed
<02076> (8764)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8764)

still on the high places
<01116>_.

15:5

And the LORD
<03068>

smote
<05060> (8762)

the king
<04428>_,

so that he was a leper
<06879> (8794)

unto the day
<03117>

of his death
<04194>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in a several
<02669>

house
<01004>_.

And Jotham
<03147>

the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>

[was] over the house
<01004>_,

judging
<08199> (8802)

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

15:6

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Azariah
<05838>_,

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>_?

15:7

So Azariah
<05838>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Jotham
<03147>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:8

In the thirty
<07970> <08141>

and eighth
<08083>

year
<08141>

of Azariah
<05838>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

did Zachariah
<02148>

the son
<01121>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>

six
<08337>

months
<02320>_.

15:9

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as his fathers
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

15:10

And Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Jabesh
<03003>

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

him before
<06905>

the people
<05971>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:11

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Zachariah
<02148>_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:12

This [was] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

unto Jehu
<03058>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy sons
<01121>

shall sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>

unto the fourth
<07243>

[generation]. And so it came to pass.

15:13

Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Jabesh
<03003>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

in the nine
<08672>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of Uzziah
<05818>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

and he reigned
<04427> (8799)

a full
<03117>

month
<03391>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

{Uzziah: Gr. Ozias} {a full...: Heb. a month of days}

15:14

For Menahem
<04505>

the son
<01121>

of Gadi
<01424>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from Tirzah
<08656>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Jabesh
<03003>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:15

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Shallum
<07967>_,

and his conspiracy
<07195>

which he made
<07194> (8804)_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:16

Then Menahem
<04505>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Tiphsah
<08607>_,

and all that [were] therein, and the coasts
<01366>

thereof from Tirzah
<08656>_:

because they opened
<06605> (8804)

not [to him], therefore he smote
<05221> (8686)

[it; and] all the women therein that were with child
<02030>

he ripped up
<01234> (8765)_.

15:17

In the nine
<08672> <08141>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of Azariah
<05838>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Menahem
<04505>

the son
<01121>

of Gadi
<01424>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>_,

[and reigned] ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

15:18

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not all his days
<03117>

from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

15:19

[And] Pul
<06322>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came
<0935> (8804)

against the land
<0776>_:

and Menahem
<04505>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Pul
<06322>

a thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

that his hand
<03027>

might be with him to confirm
<02388> (8687)

the kingdom
<04467>

in his hand
<03027>_.

15:20

And Menahem
<04505>

exacted
<03318> (8686)

the money
<03701>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] of all the mighty men
<01368>

of wealth
<02428>_,

of each
<0259>

man
<0376>

fifty
<02572>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

So the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and stayed
<05975> (8804)

not there in the land
<0776>_.

{exacted: Heb. caused to come forth}

15:21

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Menahem
<04505>_,

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 Israel
<03478>_?

15:22

And Menahem
<04505>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and Pekahiah
<06494>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:23

In the fiftieth
<02572> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Azariah
<05838>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Pekahiah
<06494>

the son
<01121>

of Menahem
<04505>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] two years
<08141>_.

15:24

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

15:25

But Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>_,

a captain
<07991>

of his, conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

him in Samaria
<08111>_,

in the palace
<0759>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

with Argob
<0709>

and Arieh
<0745>_,

and with him fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

of the Gileadites
<01121> <01569>_:

and he killed
<04191> (8686)

him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his room.

15:26

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Pekahiah
<06494>_,

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

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:27

In the two
<08147> <08141>

and fiftieth
<02572>

year
<08141>

of Azariah
<05838>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>_,

[and reigned] twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_.

15:28

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

15:29

In the days
<03117>

of Pekah
<06492>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Ijon
<05859>_,

and Abelbethmaachah
<062>_,

and Janoah
<03239>_,

and Kedesh
<06943>_,

and Hazor
<02674>_,

and Gilead
<01568>_,

and Galilee
<01551>_,

all the land
<0776>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and carried them captive
<01540> (8686)

to Assyria
<0804>_.

15:30

And Hoshea
<01954>

the son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

made
<07194> (8799)

a conspiracy
<07195>

against Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him, and slew
<04191> (8686)

him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead, in the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Jotham
<03147>

the son
<01121>

of Uzziah
<05818>_.

15:31

And the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Pekah
<06492>_,

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

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:32

In the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

began Jotham
<03147>

the son
<01121>

of Uzziah
<05818>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

15:33

Five
<02568>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

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

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Jerusha
<03388>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Zadok
<06659>_.

15:34

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he did
<06213> (8804)

according to all that his father
<01>

Uzziah
<05818>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

15:35

Howbeit the high places
<01116>

were not removed
<05493> (8804)_:

the people
<05971>

sacrificed
<02076> (8764)

and burned incense
<06999> (8764)

still in the high places
<01116>_.

He built
<01129> (8804)

the higher
<05945>

gate
<08179>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

15:36

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jotham
<03147>_,

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>_?

15:37

In those days
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

began
<02490> (8689)

to send
<07971> (8687)

against Judah
<03063>

Rezin
<07526>

the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>_.

15:38

And Jotham
<03147>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

and Ahaz
<0271>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

16:1

In the seventeenth
<07651> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of Pekah
<06492>

the son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>

Ahaz
<0271>

the son
<01121>

of Jotham
<03147>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)_.

16:2

Twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

[was] Ahaz
<0271>

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

and reigned
<04427> (8804)

sixteen
<08337> <06240>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and did
<06213> (8804)

not [that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

like David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

16:3

But he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

yea, and made his son
<01121>

to pass through
<05674> (8689)

the fire
<0784>_,

according to the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

16:4

And he sacrificed
<02076> (8762)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in the high places
<01116>_,

and on the hills
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_.

16:5

Then Rezin
<07526>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

and Pekah
<06492>

son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

to war
<04421>_:

and they besieged
<06696> (8799)

Ahaz
<0271>_,

but could
<03201> (8804)

not overcome
<03898> (8736)

[him].

16:6

At that time
<06256>

Rezin
<07526>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

recovered
<07725> (8689)

Elath
<0359>

to Syria
<0758> (8675) <0130>_,

and drave
<05394> (8762)

the Jews
<03064>

from Elath
<0359>_:

and the Syrians
<0726>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Elath
<0359>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there unto this day
<03117>_.

{from Elath: Heb. from Eloth}

16:7

So Ahaz
<0271>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] thy servant
<05650>

and thy son
<01121>_:

come up
<05927> (8798)_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

me out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which rise up
<06965> (8801)

against me.

16:8

And Ahaz
<0271>

took
<03947> (8799)

the silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

[it for] a present
<07810>

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

16:9

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto him: for the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

went up
<05927> (8799)

against Damascus
<01834>_,

and took
<08610> (8799)

it, and carried [the people of] it captive
<01540> (8686)

to Kir
<07024>_,

and slew
<04191> (8689)

Rezin
<07526>_.

{Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}

16:10

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Damascus
<01834>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

that [was] at Damascus
<01834>_:

and king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

the fashion
<01823>

of the altar
<04196>_,

and the pattern
<08403>

of it, according to all the workmanship
<04639>

thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}

16:11

And Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

according to all that king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

from Damascus
<01834>_:

so Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

made
<06213> (8804)

[it] against king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

came
<0935> (8800)

from Damascus
<01834>_.

16:12

And when the king
<04428>

was come
<0935> (8799)

from Damascus
<01834>_,

the king
<04428>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the altar
<04196>_:

and the king
<04428>

approached
<07126> (8799)

to the altar
<04196>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

thereon.

16:13

And he burnt
<06999> (8686)

his burnt offering
<05930>

and his meat offering
<04503>_,

and poured
<05258> (8686)

his drink offering
<05262>_,

and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

of his peace offerings
<08002>_,

upon the altar
<04196>_.

{his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}

16:14

And he brought
<07126> (8686)

also the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>_,

which [was] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

from the forefront
<06440>

of the house
<01004>_,

from between the altar
<04196>

and the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

it on the north
<06828>

side
<03409>

of the altar
<04196>_.

16:15

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Upon the great
<01419>

altar
<04196>

burn
<06999> (8685)

the morning
<01242>

burnt offering
<05930>_,

and the evening
<06153>

meat offering
<04503>_,

and the king's
<04428>

burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and his meat offering
<04503>_,

with the burnt offering
<05930>

of all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and their meat offering
<04503>_,

and their drink offerings
<05262>_;

and sprinkle
<02236> (8799)

upon it all the blood
<01818>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and all the blood
<01818>

of the sacrifice
<02077>_:

and the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>

shall be for me to enquire
<01239> (8763)

[by].

16:16

Thus did
<06213> (8799)

Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>_,

according to all that king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

16:17

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

cut off
<07112> (8762)

the borders
<04526>

of the bases
<04350>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

the laver
<03595>

from off them; and took down
<03381> (8689)

the sea
<03220>

from off the brasen
<05178>

oxen
<01241>

that [were] under it, and put
<05414> (8799)

it upon a pavement
<04837>

of stones
<068>_.

16:18

And the covert
<04329> (8675) <04329>

for the sabbath
<07676>

that they had built
<01129> (8804)

in the house
<01004>_,

and the king's
<04428>

entry
<03996>

without
<02435>_,

turned
<05437> (8689)

he from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

for
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

16:19

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Ahaz
<0271>

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>_?

16:20

And Ahaz
<0271>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Hezekiah
<02396>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

17:1

In the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Ahaz
<0271>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Hoshea
<01954>

the son
<01121>

of Elah
<0425>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

in Samaria
<08111>

over Israel
<03478>

nine
<08672>

years
<08141>_.

17:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but not as the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

that were before
<06440>

him.

17:3

Against him came up
<05927> (8804)

Shalmaneser
<08022>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_;

and Hoshea
<01954>

became his servant
<05650>_,

and gave
<07725> (8686)

him presents
<04503>_.

{gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}

17:4

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

found
<04672> (8799)

conspiracy
<07195>

in Hoshea
<01954>_:

for he had sent
<07971> (8804)

messengers
<04397>

to So
<05471>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and brought
<05927> (8689)

no present
<04503>

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

as [he had done] year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_:

therefore the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

shut him up
<06113> (8799)_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him in prison
<01004> <03608>_.

{present: or, tribute}

17:5

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came up
<05927> (8799)

throughout all the land
<0776>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to Samaria
<08111>_,

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

it three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

17:6

In the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>

of Hoshea
<01954>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

took
<03920> (8804)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and carried
<01540> (0)

Israel
<03478>

away
<01540> (8686)

into Assyria
<0804>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

them in Halah
<02477>

and in Habor
<02249>

[by] the river
<05104>

of Gozan
<01470>_,

and in the cities
<05892>

of the Medes
<04074>_.

17:7

For [so] it was, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

had sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

which had brought them up
<05927> (8688)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from under the hand
<03027>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and had feared
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

17:8

And walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of the heathen
<01471>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which they had made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:9

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did secretly
<02644> (8762)

[those] things
<01697>

that [were] not right against the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and they built
<01129> (8799)

them high places
<01116>

in all their cities
<05892>_,

from the tower
<04026>

of the watchmen
<05341> (8802)

to the fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_.

17:10

And they set them up
<05324> (8686)

images
<04676>

and groves
<0842>

in every high
<01364>

hill
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_:

{images: Heb. statues}

17:11

And there they burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in all the high places
<01116>_,

as [did] the heathen
<01471>

whom the LORD
<03068>

carried away
<01540> (8689)

before
<06440>

them; and wrought
<06213> (8799)

wicked
<07451>

things
<01697>

to provoke the LORD
<03068>

to anger
<03707> (8687)_:

17:12

For they served
<05647> (8799)

idols
<01544>_,

whereof the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Ye shall not do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

17:13

Yet the LORD
<03068>

testified
<05749> (8686)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and against Judah
<03063>_,

by
<03027>

all the prophets
<05030>_,

[and by] all the seers
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Turn
<07725> (8798)

ye from your evil
<07451>

ways
<01870>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>

[and] my statutes
<02708>_,

according to all the law
<08451>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

your fathers
<01>_,

and which I sent
<07971> (8804)

to you by
<03027>

my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

17:14

Notwithstanding they would not hear
<08085> (8804)_,

but hardened
<07185> (8686)

their necks
<06203>_,

like to the neck
<06203>

of their fathers
<01>_,

that did not believe
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

17:15

And they rejected
<03988> (8799)

his statutes
<02706>_,

and his covenant
<01285>

that he made
<03772> (8804)

with their fathers
<01>_,

and his testimonies
<05715>

which he testified
<05749> (8689)

against them; and they followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

vanity
<01892>_,

and became vain
<01891> (8799)_,

and went after
<0310>

the heathen
<01471>

that [were] round about
<05439>

them, [concerning] whom the LORD
<03068>

had charged
<06680> (8765)

them, that they should not do
<06213> (8800)

like them.

17:16

And they left
<05800> (8799)

all the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

them molten images
<04541>_,

[even] two
<08147>

calves
<05695>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

a grove
<0842>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

Baal
<01168>_.

17:17

And they caused their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

through the fire
<0784>_,

and used
<07080> (8799)

divination
<07081>

and enchantments
<05172> (8762)_,

and sold
<04376> (8691)

themselves to do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

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

17:18

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

was very
<03966>

angry
<0599> (8691)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

them out of his sight
<06440>_:

there was none left
<07604> (8738)

but the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

only.

17:19

Also Judah
<03063>

kept
<08104> (8804)

not the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

but walked
<03212> (8799)

in the statutes
<02708>

of Israel
<03478>

which they made
<06213> (8804)_.

17:20

And the LORD
<03068>

rejected
<03988> (8799)

all the seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and afflicted
<06031> (8762)

them, and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of spoilers
<08154> (8802)_,

until he had cast
<07993> (8689)

them out of his sight
<06440>_.

17:21

For he rent
<07167> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

from the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_;

and they made Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>

king
<04427> (8686)_:

and Jeroboam
<03379>

drave
<05080> (8686) (8675) <05077> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made them sin
<02398> (8689)

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_.

17:22

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_;

they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from them;

17:23

Until the LORD
<03068>

removed
<05493> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of his sight
<06440>_,

as he had said
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

all his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

So was Israel
<03478>

carried away
<01540> (8799)

out of their own land
<0127>

to Assyria
<0804>

unto this day
<03117>_.

17:24

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

brought
<0935> (8686)

[men] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and from Cuthah
<03575>_,

and from Ava
<05755>_,

and from Hamath
<02574>_,

and from Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

[them] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>

instead of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and they possessed
<03423> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the cities
<05892>

thereof.

17:25

And [so] it was at the beginning
<08462>

of their dwelling
<03427> (8800)

there, [that] they feared
<03372> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, which slew
<02026> (8802)

[some] of them.

17:26

Wherefore they spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The nations
<01471>

which thou hast removed
<01540> (8689)_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

know
<03045> (8804)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_:

therefore he hath sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, and, behold, they slay
<04191> (8688)

them, because they know
<03045> (8802)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:27

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

commanded
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Carry
<03212> (8685)

thither one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom ye brought
<01540> (8689)

from thence; and let them go
<03212> (8799)

and dwell
<03427> (8799)

there, and let him teach
<03384> (8686)

them the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:28

Then one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom they had carried away
<01540> (8689)

from Samaria
<08111>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and taught
<03384> (8688)

them how they should fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

17:29

Howbeit every nation
<01471>

made
<06213> (8802)

gods
<0430>

of their own, and put
<03240> (8686)

[them] in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which the Samaritans
<08118>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

every nation
<01471>

in their cities
<05892>

wherein they dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

17:30

And the men
<0582>

of Babylon
<0894>

made
<06213> (8804)

Succothbenoth
<05524>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Cuth
<03575>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nergal
<05370>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Hamath
<02574>

made
<06213> (8804)

Ashima
<0807>_,

17:31

And the Avites
<05757>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nibhaz
<05026>

and Tartak
<08662>_,

and the Sepharvites
<05616>

burnt
<08313> (8802)

their children
<01121>

in fire
<0784>

to Adrammelech
<0152>

and Anammelech
<06048>_,

the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_.

17:32

So they feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

unto themselves of the lowest
<07098>

of them priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_,

which sacrificed
<06213> (8802)

for them in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>_.

17:33

They feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their own gods
<0430>_,

after the manner
<04941>

of the nations
<01471>

whom they carried away
<01540> (8689)

from thence. {whom...: or, who carried them away from thence}

17:34

Unto this day
<03117>

they do
<06213> (8802)

after the former
<07223>

manners
<04941>_:

they fear
<03373>

not the LORD
<03068>_,

neither do
<06213> (8802)

they after their statutes
<02708>_,

or after their ordinances
<04941>_,

or after the law
<08451>

and commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

the children
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

whom he named
<07760> (8804) <08034>

Israel
<03478>_;

17:35

With whom the LORD
<03068>

had made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves to them, nor serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

to them:

17:36

But the LORD
<03068>_,

who brought you up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

with great
<01419>

power
<03581>

and a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

him shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and him shall ye worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_.

17:37

And the statutes
<02706>_,

and the ordinances
<04941>_,

and the law
<08451>_,

and the commandment
<04687>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

for you, ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

for evermore
<03117>_;

and ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:38

And the covenant
<01285>

that I have made
<03772> (8804)

with you ye shall not forget
<07911> (8799)_;

neither shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:39

But the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

ye shall fear
<03372> (8799)_;

and he shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of all your enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

17:40

Howbeit they did not hearken
<08085> (8804)_,

but they did
<06213> (8802)

after their former
<07223>

manner
<04941>_.

17:41

So these nations
<01471>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their graven images
<06456>_,

both their children
<01121>_,

and their children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_:

as did
<06213> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they unto this day
<03117>_.
