They worked hard and made the repairs.<n id="1" /> They followed the measurements specified for God&#8217;s temple and restored it.<n id="2" />

So King Joash of Israel attacked. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other on the battlefield<n id="1" /> in Beth Shemesh of Judah.

They closed the doors of the temple porch and put out the lamps; they did not offer incense or burnt sacrifices in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.

Hezekiah ordered the burnt sacrifice to be offered on the altar. As they began to offer the sacrifice, they also began to sing to the <sc>Lord,sc> accompanied by the trumpets and the musical instruments of King David of Israel.

So all the preparations for the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s service were made that day, as the Passover was observed and the burnt sacrifices were offered on the altar of the <sc>Lordsc>, as prescribed by King Josiah.

But they mocked God&#8217;s messengers, despised his warnings,<n id="1" /> and ridiculed his prophets.<n id="2" /> Finally the <sc>Lordsc> got very angry at his people and there was no one who could prevent his judgment.<n id="3" />

we will get all the timber you need from Lebanon<n id="1" /> and bring it<n id="2" /> in raft-like bundles<n id="3" /> by sea to Joppa. You can then haul it on up to Jerusalem.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then Solomon convened Israel&#8217;s elders &#8211; all the leaders of the Israelite tribes and families &#8211; in Jerusalem,<n id="1" /> so they could witness the transferal of the ark of the covenant of the <sc>Lordsc> from the City of David<n id="2" /> (that is, Zion).<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">Solomon moved Pharaoh&#8217;s daughter up from the City of David<n id="1" /> to the palace he had built for her, for he said, &#8220;My wife must not live in the palace of King David of Israel, for the places where the ark of the <sc>Lordsc> has entered are holy.&#8221;p>

the food in his banquet hall,<n id="1" /> his servants and attendants<n id="2" /> in their robes, his cupbearers in their robes, and his burnt sacrifices which he presented in the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple,<n id="3" /> she was amazed.<n id="4" />

King Rehoboam sent Hadoram,<n id="1" /> the supervisor of the work crews, out after them, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam managed to jump into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.<n id="2" />

&#8216;The <sc>Lordsc> says this: &#8220;Do not attack and make war with your brothers. Each of you go home, for I have caused this to happen.&#8221;&#8217;&#8221;<n id="1" /> They obeyed the <sc>Lordsc> and called off the attack against Jeroboam.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s temple and of the royal palace; he took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.

In the thirty-sixth year of Asa&#8217;s reign, King Baasha of Israel attacked Judah, and he established Ramah as a military outpost to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the land of King Asa of Judah.<n id="1" />

&#8220;I want to make a treaty with you, like the one our fathers made.<n id="1" /> See, I have sent you silver and gold. Break your treaty with King Baasha of Israel, so he will retreat from my land.&#8221;<n id="2" />

and after several years<n id="1" /> went down to visit<n id="2" /> Ahab in Samaria.<n id="3" /> Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle to honor Jehoshaphat and those who came with him.<n id="4" /> He persuaded him to join in an attack<n id="5" /> against Ramoth Gilead.

So the king of Israel assembled 400 prophets and asked them, &#8220;Should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?&#8221;<n id="1" /> They said, &#8220;Attack! God<n id="2" /> will hand it over to the king.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">Micaiah<n id="1" /> came before the king and the king asked him, &#8220;Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?&#8221; He answered him, &#8220;Attack! You will succeed; they will be handed over to you.&#8221;<n id="2" />

The <sc>Lordsc> said, &#8216;Who will deceive King Ahab of Israel, so he will attack Ramoth Gilead and die there?&#8217; One said this and another that.
