10 : 10 And the young <03206 +yeled > men that were brought

10 : 11 For whereas <06258 +<attah > my father <25> put <06006

10 : 13 And the king <04428 +melek > answered <06030 +<anah >

10 : 15 So the king <04428 +melek > hearkened <08085 +shama< >

11 : 05 And Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am > dwelt <03427 +yashab >

12 : 01 . And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , when Rehoboam

12 : 02 And it came <01961 +hayah > to pass , [ that ] in the

12 : 04 And he took <03920 +lakad > the fenced <04694 +m@tsuwrah

12 : 05 Then came <00935 +bow> > Shemaiah <08098 +Sh@ma<yah >

the prophet <05030 +nabiy> > to Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am > ,

left <05800 +<azab > you in the hand <03027 +yad > of Shishak

12 : 06 Whereupon the princes <08269 +sar > of Israel <03478

12 : 07 And when the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > saw <07200 +ra>ah >

that they humbled <03665 +kana< > themselves , the word <01697

12 : 08 Nevertheless <03588 +kiy > they shall be his servants

12 : 09 So Shishak <07895 +Shiyshaq > king <04428 +melek > of

Egypt <04714 +Mitsrayim > came <05927 +<alah > up against <05921

12 : 10 Instead <08478 +tachath > of which king <04428 +melek >

Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am > made <06213 +<asah > shields <04043

the entrance <06607 +pethach > of the king s <04428 +melek >

house <01004 +bayith > .

12 : 11 And when <01767 +day > the king <04428 +melek > entered

<00935 +bow> > into the house <01004 +bayith > of the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > , the guard <07323 +ruwts > came <00935 +bow>

12 : 12 And when he humbled <03665 +kana< > himself , the wrath

[ him ] altogether <03617 +kalah > : and also <01571 +gam > in

Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > things <01697 +dabar > went <01961

12 : 13 . So king <04428 +melek > Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am >

strengthened <02388 +chazaq > himself in Jerusalem <03389

+Y@ruwshalaim > , and reigned <04427 +malak > : for Rehoboam

<07346 +R@chab<am > [ was ] one <00259 +>echad > and forty

<00705 +>arba<iym > years <08141 +shaneh > old <01121 +ben >

when he began to reign <04427 +malak > , and he reigned <04427

+malak > seventeen <07651 +sheba< > years <08141 +shaneh > in

Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > , the city <05892 +<iyr > which

Ammonitess <05984 +<Ammowniy > .

12 : 14 And he did <06213 +<asah > evil <07451 +ra< > , because

<03588 +kiy > he prepared <03559 +kuwn > not his heart <03820

12 : 15 Now the acts <01697 +dabar > of Rehoboam <07346

+R@chab<am > , first <07223 +ri>shown > and last <00314

were ] wars <04421 +milchamah > between Rehoboam <07346

+R@chab<am > and Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > continually .

12 : 16 And Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am > slept <07901 +shakab >

with his fathers <1> , and was buried <06912 +qabar > in the

city <05892 +<iyr > of David <01732 +David > : and Abijah <29>

his son <01121 +ben > reigned <04427 +malak > in his stead

<08478 +tachath > .

13 : 01 . Now in the eighteenth year <08141 +shaneh > of king

<04428 +melek > Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > began Abijah <29> to

reign <04427 +malak > over <05921 +<al > Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah >

13 : 02 He reigned <04427 +malak > three <07969 +shalowsh >

years <08141 +shaneh > in Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > .

His mother s <00517 +>em > name <08034 +shem > also [ was ]

Michaiah <04322 +Miykayahuw > the daughter <01323 +bath > of

Uriel <00222 +>Uwriy>el > of Gibeah <01390 +Gib<ah > . And

there was war <04421 +milchamah > between <00996 +beyn > Abijah

13 : 03 And Abijah <29> set <00631 +>acar > the battle <04421

<00376 +>iysh > , [ being ] mighty <01368 +gibbowr > men of

valour <02428 +chayil > .

13 : 04 And Abijah <29> stood <06965 +quwm > up upon mount

13 : 05 Ought ye not to know <03045 +yada< > that the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > God <00430 +>elohiym > of Israel <03478

+Yisra>el > gave <05414 +nathan > the kingdom <04467 +mamlakah >

sons <01121 +ben > by a covenant <01285 +b@riyth > of salt

<04417 +melach > ?

13 : 06 Yet Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > the son <01121 +ben > of

Nebat <05028 +N@bat > , the servant <05650 +<ebed > of Solomon

<08010 +Sh@lomoh > the son <01121 +ben > of David <01732 +David

13 : 07 And there are gathered <06908 +qabats > unto him vain

, when Rehoboam <07346 +R@chab<am > was young <05288 +na<ar >

them .

13 : 08 And now <06258 +<attah > ye think <00559 +>amar > to

withstand <02388 +chazaq > the kingdom <04467 +mamlakah > of the

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > in the hand <03027 +yad > of the sons

with you golden <02091 +zahab > calves <05695 +<egel > , which

<00834 +>aher > Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > made <06213 +<asah >

you for gods <00430 +>elohiym > .

13 : 09 Have ye not cast <05080 +nadach > out the priests <03548

13 : 10 But as for us , the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > [ is ] our

13 : 11 And they burn <06999 +qatar > unto the LORD <03068

<08104 +shamar > the charge <04931 +mishmereth > of the LORD

<03068 +Y@hovah > our God <00430 +>elohiym > ; but ye have

forsaken <05800 +<azab > him .

13 : 12 And , behold <02009 +hinneh > , God <00430 +>elohiym >

himself [ is ] with us for [ our ] captain <07218 +ro>sh > , and

his priests <03548 +kohen > with sounding <08643 +t@ruw<ah >

trumpets <02689 +chatsots@rah > to cry <07321 +ruwa< > alarm

13 : 13 . But Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > caused an ambushment

13 : 14 And when Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > looked <06437 +panah >

back <06437 +panah > , behold <02009 +hinneh > , the battle

<04421 +milchamah > [ was ] before <06440 +paniym > and behind

LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and the priests <03548 +kohen > sounded

<02690 +chatsar > with the trumpets <02689 +chatsots@rah > .

13 : 15 Then the men <00376 +>iysh > of Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah >

gave a shout <07321 +ruwa< > : and as the men <00376 +>iysh > of

Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > shouted <07321 +ruwa< > , it came

<01961 +hayah > to pass , that God <00430 +>elohiym > smote

13 : 16 And the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

+Yisra>el > fled <05127 +nuwc > before <06440 +paniym > Judah

<03063 +Y@huwdah > : and God <00430 +>elohiym > delivered <05414

13 : 17 And Abijah <29> and his people <05971 +<am > slew <05221

13 : 18 Thus the children <01121 +ben > of Israel <03478

<06256 +<eth > , and the children <01121 +ben > of Judah <03063

they relied <08172 +sha<an > upon the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God

13 : 19 And Abijah <29> pursued <07291 +radaph > after <00310

13 : 20 Neither <03808 +lo> > did Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am >

recover <06113 +<atsar > strength <03581 +koach > again <05750

<03068 +Y@hovah > struck <05062 +nagaph > him , and he died

<04191 +muwth > .

13 : 21 But Abijah <29> waxed mighty <02388 +chazaq > , and

married <05375 +nasa> > fourteen wives <00802 +>ishshah > , and

begat <03205 +yalad > twenty <06242 +<esriym > and two <08147

13 : 22 And the rest <03499 +yether > of the acts <01697 +dabar

14 : 01 . So Abijah <29> slept <07901 +shakab > with his

fathers <1> , and they buried <06912 +qabar > him in the city

20 : 21 And when he had consulted <03289 +ya<ats > with the

20 : 22 And when <06256 +<eth > they began <02490 +chalal > to

20 : 24 And when Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > came <00935 +bow> >

20 : 25 And when Jehoshaphat <03092 +Y@howshaphat > and his

20 : 26 And on the fourth <07243 +r@biy<iy > day <03117 +yowm >

they assembled <06950 +qahal > themselves in the valley <06010

20 : 27 Then they returned <07725 +shuwb > , every <03605 +kol >

20 : 28 And they came <00935 +bow> > to Jerusalem <03389

20 : 29 And the fear <06343 +pachad > of God <00430 +>elohiym >

was on <05921 +<al > all <03605 +kol > the kingdoms <04467

20 : 30 So the realm <04438 +malkuwth > of Jehoshaphat <03092

20 : 31 . And Jehoshaphat <03092 +Y@howshaphat > reigned <04427

20 : 32 And he walked <03212 +yalak > in the way <01870 +derek >

20 : 33 Howbeit the high <01116 +bamah > places were not taken

the people <05971 +<am > had not prepared <03559 +kuwn > their

20 : 34 Now the rest <03499 +yether > of the acts <01697 +dabar

wickedly <07561 +rasha< > :

20 : 36 And he joined <02266 +chabar > himself with him to make

<06213 +<asah > ships<00591 +>oniyah > to go <03212 +yalak > to

Tarshish <08659 +Tarshiysh > : and they made <06213 +<asah > the

ships <00591 +>oniyah > in Eziongeber <06100 +<Etsyown <Etsyon

Geber > .

20 : 37 Then Eliezer <00461 +>Eliy<ezer > the son <01121 +ben >

of Dodavah <01735 +Dowdavahuw > of Mareshah <04762 +Mar>eshah >

prophesied <05012 +naba> > against <05921 +<al > Jehoshaphat

21 : 01 . Now Jehoshaphat <03092 +Y@howshaphat > slept <07901

21 : 02 And he had brethren <00251 +>ach > the sons <01121 +ben

21 : 03 And their father <25> gave <05414 +nathan > them great

21 : 04 Now when Jehoram <03088 +Y@howram > was risen <06965

he strengthened <02388 +chazaq > himself , and slew <02026

21 : 05 Jehoram <03088 +Y@howram > [ was ] thirty <07970

21 : 06 And he walked <03212 +yalak > in the way <01870 +derek >

of the kings <04428 +melek > of Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > , like

as did <06213 +<asah > the house <01004 +bayith > of Ahab <00256

21 : 07 Howbeit the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > would <14> not

destroy <07843 +shachath > the house <01004 +bayith > of David

21 : 08 In his days <03117 +yowm > the Edomites <00130 +>Edomiy

21 : 09 Then Jehoram <03088 +Y@howram > went <05674 +<abar >

forth <05674 +<abar > with his princes <08269 +sar > , and all

21 : 10 So the Edomites <00130 +>Edomiy > revolted <06586

he had forsaken <05800 +<azab > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > God

21 : 11 Moreover <01571 +gam > he made <06213 +<asah > high

<01116 +bamah > places in the mountains <02022 +har > of Judah

fornication <02181 +zanah > , and compelled <05080 +nadach >

21 : 12 . And there came <00935 +bow> > a writing <04385

21 : 16 Moreover the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > stirred <05782 +<uwr

25 : 11 And Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > strengthened <02388

25 : 15 Wherefore the anger <00639 +>aph > of the LORD <03068

25 : 17 . Then Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > king <04428 +melek >

25 : 18 And Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > king <04428 +melek > of

25 : 19 Thou sayest <00559 +>amar > , Lo <02009 +hinneh > , thou

that thou shouldest fall <05307 +naphal > , [ even ] thou , and

Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > with thee ?

25 : 20 But Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > would not hear <08085

25 : 21 So Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > the king <04428 +melek > of

25 : 23 And Joash <03101 +Yow>ash > the king <04428 +melek > of

25 : 25 And Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > the son <01121 +ben > of

25 : 26 Now the rest <03499 +yether > of the acts <01697 +dabar

25 : 27 Now after the time <06256 +<eth > that Amaziah <00558

26 : 01 . Then all <03605 +kol > the people <05971 +<am > of

Judah <03063 +Y@huwdah > took <03947 +laqach > Uzziah <05818

26 : 02 He built <01129 +banah > Eloth <00359 +>Eylowth > , and

26 : 03 Sixteen years <08141 +shaneh > old <01121 +ben > [ was ]

26 : 04 And he did <06213 +<asah > [ that which was ] right

26 : 05 And he sought <01875 +darash > God <00430 +>elohiym > in

26 : 08 And the Ammonites <05984 +<Ammowniy > gave <05414

26 : 09 Moreover Uzziah <05818 +<Uzziyah > built <01129 +banah >

26 : 10 Also he built <01129 +banah > towers <04026 +migdal > in

the desert <04057 +midbar > , and digged <02672 +chatsab > many

26 : 14 And Uzziah <05818 +<Uzziyah > prepared <03559 +kuwn >

26 : 16 . But when he was strong <02394 +chozqah > , his heart

27 : 06 So Jotham <03147 +Yowtham > became <02388 +chazaq >

30 : 03 For they could <03201 +yakol > not keep <06213 +<asah >

30 : 07 And be not ye like your fathers <1> , and like your

32 : 26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah <02396 +Chizqiyah > humbled

32 : 30 This <01931 +huw> > same <01931 +huw> > Hezekiah <02396

32 : 31 Howbeit <03651 +ken > in [ the business of ] the

33 : 07 And he set <07760 +suwm > a carved <06459 +pecel > image

<02706 +choq > and the ordinances <04941 +mishpat > by the hand

<03027 +yad > of Moses <04872 +Mosheh > .

33 : 09 So Manasseh <04519 +M@nashsheh > made Judah <03063

+Y@huwdah > and the inhabitants <03427 +yashab > of Jerusalem

<03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > to err <08582 +ta<ah > , [ and ] to do

Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > .

33 : 10 And <04519 +M@nashsheh > the LORD spake <08141 +shaneh >

to <01121 +ben > Manasseh , and to his people <04427 +malak > :

but they would <04427 +malak > not <02572 +chamishshiym > hearken

33 : 11 . Wherefore the <06213 +<asah > LORD brought upon them

<07451 +ra< > the captains of <05869 +<ayin > the host of <03068

+Y@hovah > the king of Assyria <08441 +tow<ebah > , which took

Manasseh <01471 +gowy > among <00834 +>aher > the thorns <03068

+Y@hovah > , and bound <03423 +yarash > him with <06440 +paniym

Babylon .

33 : 12 And when he <01129 +banah > was <07725 +shuwb > in

affliction <01116 +bamah > , he besought <00834 +>aher > the

<02396 +Chizqiyah > LORD his God , and <05422 +nathats > humbled

<05422 +nathats > himself greatly before <06965 +quwm > the God

<04196 +mizbeach > of his <01168 +Ba<al > fathers ,

33 : 13 And prayed unto <01129 +banah > him <04196 +mizbeach > :

and he was <01004 +bayith > intreated of him <03068 +Y@hovah > ,

and <00834 +>aher > heard his <03068 +Y@hovah > supplication ,

and <00559 +>amar > brought him <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > again to

Jerusalem <08034 +shem > into his kingdom <05769 +<owlam > .

Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [ was ] God .

33 : 14 Now after this <01129 +banah > he <04196 +mizbeach >

built a <03605 +kol > wall without <06635 +tsaba> > the city

<08064 +shamayim > of David , on <08147 +sh@nayim > the <02691

+chatser > west side of <01004 +bayith > Gihon , in the <03068

+Y@hovah > valley , even to the entering in at the fish gate ,

and compassed about Ophel , and raised it up a very great height

, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah .

33 : 15 And he took away the <01121 +ben > strange gods <05674

+<abar > , and the idol <00784 +>esh > out of the <01516 +gay> >

house of the <01121 +ben > LORD , and <02011 +Hinnom > all the

altars <06049 +<anan > that he had built <05172 +nachash > in

the mount <03784 +kashaph > of the <06213 +<asah > house of the

LORD <00178 +>owb > , and in Jerusalem <03049 +yidd@<oniy > ,

and cast <06213 +<asah > [ them <07235 +rabah > ] out <07451

+ra< > of the city <05869 +<ayin > .

33 : 16 And he repaired <07760 +suwm > the altar <06459 +pecel >

of the LORD <05566 +cemel > , and <00834 +>aher > sacrificed

thereon peace <06213 +<asah > offerings and thank <01004 +bayith

God <01732 +David > of Israel .

33 : 17 Nevertheless <03808 +lo> > the people did sacrifice

still <05493 +cuwr > in the <07272 +regel > high places <03478

+Yisra>el > , [ yet ] unto the LORD their <00127 +>adamah > God

<00834 +>aher > only .

33 : 18 Now the <04519 +M@nashsheh > rest of <03063 +Y@huwdah >

the acts of <03427 +yashab > Manasseh , and <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim

> his prayer <08582 +ta<ah > unto his God <06213 +<asah > , and

<07451 +ra< > the <04480 +min > words of <01471 +gowy > the

<00834 +>aher > seers that <03068 +Y@hovah > spake to <08045

+shamad > him <06440 +paniym > in the <01121 +ben > name of

<03478 +Yisra>el > the LORD God of Israel , behold , they [ are

written ] in the book of the kings of Israel .

33 : 19 His prayer also <03068 +Y@hovah > , and <01696 +dabar >

[ how God <04519 +M@nashsheh > ] was intreated of him <05971

+<am > , and all his sin , and <07181 +qashab > his trespass ,

and the places wherein he built high places , and set up groves

and graven images , before he was humbled : behold , they [ are

] written among the sayings of the seers .

33 : 20 So Manasseh slept <03068 +Y@hovah > with <00935 +bow> >

his fathers , and they <08269 +sar > buried him in <06635

+tsaba> > his own house <04428 +melek > : and Amon <00804

33 : 21 . Amon [ was ] two and twenty years <06887 +tsarar >

old when <02470 +chalah > he began <03068 +Y@hovah > to reign

<00430 +>elohiym > , and reigned <03665 +kana< > two years

<03966 +m@<od > in Jerusalem .

33 : 22 But he <06419 +palal > did [ that which was ] evil in

<06279 +<athar > the sight of the <08085 +shama< > LORD , as

<08467 +t@chinnah > did Manasseh <07725 +shuwb > his father

<07725 +shuwb > : for Amon <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > sacrificed

unto all <04438 +malkuwth > the carved <04519 +M@nashsheh >

images <03045 +yada< > which Manasseh his <03068 +Y@hovah >

father had made <00430 +>elohiym > , and served them ;

33 : 23 And humbled <00310 +>achar > not <03651 +ken > himself

before <01129 +banah > the LORD <02346 +chowmah > , as <02435

+chiytsown > Manasseh his <05892 +<iyr > father had <01732

+David > humbled himself ; but <04628 +ma<arab > Amon trespassed

more <01521 +Giychown > and more .

33 : 24 And his servants conspired <05493 +cuwr > against him

<05236 +nekar > , and <00430 +>elohiym > slew him in <05566

+cemel > his own house .

33 : 25 But the people <01129 +banah > of the <04196 +mizbeach >

land slew all <03068 +Y@hovah > them that <02076 +zabach > had

<05921 +<al > conspired <08002 +shelem > against <02077 +zebach

<03063 +Y@huwdah > the land <05647 +<abad > made Josiah <03068

+Y@hovah > his <00430 +>elohiym > son king <03478 +Yisra>el > in

his stead .

34 : 01 . Josiah <61> [ was ] eight <05971 +<am > years old

<02076 +zabach > when <05750 +<owd > he began to <01116 +bamah >

reign , and he reigned in <03068 +Y@hovah > Jerusalem one <00430

34 : 02 And he did <03499 +yether > [ that which was <01697

+dabar > ] right in <04519 +M@nashsheh > the sight of <08605

+t@phillah > the LORD , and <00430 +>elohiym > walked in the

<01697 +dabar > ways of David <02374 +chozeh > his father <01696

hand , nor <03068 +Y@hovah > to <00430 +>elohiym > the left

<03478 +Yisra>el > .

34 : 03 For in <08605 +t@phillah > the eighth year of his reign

<06279 +<athar > , while he was yet <03605 +kol > young , he

began to seek <04604 +ma<al > after the God <04725 +maqowm > of

<00834 +>aher > David his <01129 +banah > father <01116 +bamah >

: and in the <05975 +<amad > twelfth year <00842 +>asherah > he

began <06456 +p@ciyl > to purge <06440 +paniym > Judah and

Jerusalem <03665 +kana< > from <02009 +hinneh > the high places

<03789 +kathab > , and <05921 +<al > the groves <01697 +dabar > ,

and the carved <02374 +chozeh > images , and the molten images

34 : 04 And they <04519 +M@nashsheh > brake <07901 +shakab >

down the altars <1> of Baalim in <06912 +qabar > his presence ;

and the images <01004 +bayith > , that [ were <00526 +>Amown > ]

on high <01121 +ben > above <04427 +malak > them , he cut <08478

+tachath > down ; and the groves , and the carved images , and

the molten images , he brake in pieces , and made dust [ of them

] , and strowed [ it ] upon the graves of them that had

sacrificed unto them .

34 : 05 And <00526 +>Amown > he burnt the bones <06242 +<esriym

altars , and <04427 +malak > cleansed Judah <04427 +malak > and

Jerusalem <08141 +shaneh > .

34 : 06 And [ so did <06213 +<asah > he ] in the cities <07451

+ra< > of Manasseh , and <05869 +<ayin > Ephraim , and Simeon

<03068 +Y@hovah > , even unto <06213 +<asah > Naphtali <04519

+M@nashsheh > , with their <1> mattocks round <00526 +>Amown >

about <02076 +zabach > .

34 : 07 And when <03665 +kana< > he had broken <06440 +paniym >

down the <03068 +Y@hovah > altars and <04519 +M@nashsheh > the

groves <1> , and had <03665 +kana< > beaten the graven <00526

and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel ,

he returned to Jerusalem .

34 : 08 . Now in the <05650 +<ebed > eighteenth <07194 +qashar

purged the <01004 +bayith > land , and the house , he sent

Shaphan the son of Azaliah , and Maaseiah the governor of the

city , and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder , to repair the

house of the LORD his God .

34 : 09 And when they <05971 +<am > came to Hilkiah <00776

34 : 10 And <02977 +Yo>shiyah > they put <08083 +sh@moneh > [ it

+Y@ruwshalaim > the <00259 +>echad > house of <07970

+sh@lowshiym > the <08141 +shaneh > LORD , and they gave it to

the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD , to repair

and amend the house :

34 : 11 Even to the <06213 +<asah > artificers and builders gave

<03477 +yashar > they [ it ] , to <05869 +<ayin > buy hewn stone

34 : 12 And the men did <08083 +sh@moneh > the <08141 +shaneh >

work faithfully : and <04427 +malak > the overseers of them

the Kohathites <02891 +taher > , to <03063 +Y@huwdah > set [ it

34 : 13 Also [ they were <05422 +nathats > ] over <05422

34 : 14 . And when they brought <03318 +yatsa> > out the money

34 : 16 And Shaphan <08227 +shaphan > carried <00935 +bow> > the
