as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

2Ch 01:01 ¶ And Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David <01732>

was strengthened <02388> (8691) in his kingdom <04438>, and the

LORD <03068> his God <0430> was with him, and magnified <01431>

(8762) him exceedingly <04605>.

2Ch 01:02 Then Solomon <08010> spake <0559> (8799) unto all

Israel <03478>, to the captains <08269> of thousands <0505> and

of hundreds <03967>, and to the judges <08199> (8802), and to

every governor <05387> in all Israel <03478>, the chief <07218>

of the fathers <01>.

2Ch 01:03 So Solomon <08010>, and all the congregation <06951>

with him, went <03212> (8799) to the high place <01116> that was

at Gibeon <01391>; for there was the tabernacle <0168> of the

congregation <04150> of God <0430>, which Moses <04872> the

servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> had made <06213> (8804) in

the wilderness <04057>.

2Ch 01:04 But <061> the ark <0727> of God <0430> had David

<01732> brought up <05927> (8689) from Kirjathjearim <07157> to

the place which David <01732> had prepared <03559> (8687) for it:

for he had pitched <05186> (8804) a tent <0168> for it at

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 01:05 Moreover the brasen <05178> altar <04196>, that

Bezaleel <01212> the son <01121> of Uri <0221>, the son <01121>

of Hur <02354>, had made <06213> (8804), he put <07760> (8804)

before <06440> the tabernacle <04908> of the LORD <03068>: and

Solomon <08010> and the congregation <06951> sought <01875>

(8799) unto it.

2Ch 01:06 And Solomon <08010> went up <05927> (8686) thither to

the brasen <05178> altar <04196> before <06440> the LORD <03068>,

which was at the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>,

and offered <05927> (8686) a thousand <0505> burnt offerings

<05930> upon it.

2Ch 01:07 In that night <03915> did God <0430> appear <07200>

(8738) unto Solomon <08010>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him,

Ask <07592> (8798) what I shall give <05414> (8799) thee.

2Ch 01:08 And Solomon <08010> said <0559> (8799) unto God

<0430>, Thou hast shewed <06213> (8804) great <01419> mercy

<02617> unto David <01732> my father <01>, and hast made me to

reign <04427> (8689) in his stead.

2Ch 01:09 Now, O LORD <03068> God <0430>, let thy promise

<01697> unto David <01732> my father <01> be established <0539>

(8735): for thou hast made me king <04427> (8689) over a people

<05971> like the dust <06083> of the earth <0776> in multitude

<07227>.

2Ch 01:10 Give <05414> (8798) me now wisdom <02451> and

knowledge <04093>, that I may go out <03318> (8799) and come in

<0935> (8799) before <06440> this people <05971>: for who can

judge <08199> (8799) this thy people <05971>, that is so great

<01419>?

2Ch 01:11 And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) to Solomon <08010>,

Because this was in thine heart <03824>, and thou hast not asked

<07592> (8804) riches <06239>, wealth <05233>, or honour <03519>,

nor the life <05315> of thine enemies <08130> (8802), neither

yet hast asked <07592> (8804) long <07227> life <03117>; but

hast asked <07592> (8799) wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093>

for thyself, that thou mayest judge <08199> (8799) my people

<05971>, over whom I have made thee king <04427> (8689):

2Ch 01:12 Wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093> is granted

<05414> (8803) unto thee; and I will give <05414> (8799) thee

riches <06239>, and wealth <05233>, and honour <03519>, such as

none of the kings <04428> have had that have been before <06440>

thee, neither shall there any after <0310> thee have the like.

2Ch 01:13 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> came <0935> (8799) from his

journey to the high place <01116> that was at Gibeon <01391> to

Jerusalem <03389>, from before <06440> the tabernacle <0168> of

the congregation <04150>, and reigned <04427> (8799) over Israel

<03478>.

2Ch 01:14 And Solomon <08010> gathered <0622> (8799) chariots

<07393> and horsemen <06571>: and he had a thousand <0505> and

four <0702> hundred <03967> chariots <07393>, and twelve <08147>

<06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>, which he placed

<03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities <05892>, and with

the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 01:15 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver

<03701> and gold <02091> at Jerusalem <03389> as plenteous as

stones <068>, and cedar trees <0730> made <05414> (8804) he as

the sycomore trees <08256> that are in the vale <08219> for

abundance <07230>.

2Ch 01:16 And Solomon <08010> had horses <05483> brought

<04161> out of Egypt <04714>, and linen yarn <04723>: the king’s

<04428> merchants <05503> (8802) received <03947> (8799) the

linen yarn <04723> at a price <04242>.

2Ch 01:17 And they fetched up <05927> (8799), and brought forth

<03318> (8686) out of Egypt <04714> a chariot <04818> for six

<08337> hundred <03967> shekels of silver <03701>, and an horse

<05483> for an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>: and so brought

they out <03318> (8686) horses for all the kings <04428> of the

Hittites <02850>, and for the kings <04428> of Syria <0758>, by

their means <03027>.

2Ch 02:01 ¶ And Solomon <08010> determined <0559> (8799) to

build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the name <08034> of

the LORD <03068>, and an house <01004> for his kingdom <04438>.

2Ch 02:02 And Solomon <08010> told out <05608> (8799)

threescore and ten <07657> thousand <0505> men <0376> to bear

burdens <05449>, and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> <0376> to

hew <02672> (8802) in the mountain <02022>, and three <07969>

thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967> to oversee

<05329> (8764) them.

2Ch 02:03 And Solomon <08010> sent <07971> (8799) to Huram

<02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865>, saying <0559> (8800),

As thou didst deal <06213> (8804) with David <01732> my father

<01>, and didst send <07971> (8799) him cedars <0730> to build

<01129> (8800) him an house <01004> to dwell <03427> (8800)

therein, even so deal with me.

2Ch 02:04 Behold, I build <01129> (8802) an house <01004> to

the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> my God <0430>, to dedicate

<06942> (8687) it to him, and to burn <06999> (8687) before

<06440> him sweet <05561> incense <07004>, and for the continual

<08548> shewbread <04635>, and for the burnt offerings <05930>

morning <01242> and evening <06153>, on the sabbaths <07676>,

and on the new moons <02320>, and on the solemn feasts <04150>

of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. This is an ordinance for

ever <05769> to Israel <03478>.

2Ch 02:05 And the house <01004> which I build <01129> (8802) is

great <01419>: for great <01419> is our God <0430> above all

gods <0430>.

2Ch 02:06 But who is able <06113> (8799) <03581> to build

<01129> (8800) him an house <01004>, seeing the heaven <08064>

and heaven <08064> of heavens <08064> cannot contain <03557>

(8770) him? who am I then, that I should build <01129> (8799)

him an house <01004>, save only <0518> to burn sacrifice <06999>

(8687) before <06440> him?

2Ch 02:07 Send <07971> (8798) me now therefore a man <0376>

cunning <02450> to work <06213> (8800) in gold <02091>, and in

silver <03701>, and in brass <05178>, and in iron <01270>, and

in purple <0710>, and crimson <03758>, and blue <08504>, and

that can skill <03045> (8802) to grave <06605> (8763) <06603>

with the cunning men <02450> that are with me in Judah <03063>

and in Jerusalem <03389>, whom David <01732> my father <01> did

provide <03559> (8689).

2Ch 02:08 Send <07971> (8798) me also cedar <0730> trees

<06086>, fir trees <01265>, and algum trees <0418>, out of

Lebanon <03844>: for I know <03045> (8804) that thy servants

<05650> can skill <03045> (8802) to cut <03772> (8800) timber

<06086> in Lebanon <03844>; and, behold, my servants <05650>

shall be with thy servants <05650>,

2Ch 02:09 Even to prepare <03559> (8687) me timber <06086> in

abundance <07230>: for the house <01004> which I am about to

build <01129> (8802) shall be wonderful <06381> (8687) great

<01419>.

2Ch 02:10 And, behold, I will give <05414> (8804) to thy

servants <05650>, the hewers <02404> (8802) that cut <03772>

(8802) timber <06086>, twenty <06242> thousand <0505> measures

<03734> of beaten <04347> wheat <02406>, and twenty <06242>

thousand <0505> measures <03734> of barley <08184>, and twenty

<06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of wine <03196>, and

twenty <06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of oil <08081>.

2Ch 02:11 ¶ Then Huram <02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865>

answered <0559> (8799) in writing <03791>, which he sent <07971>

(8799) to Solomon <08010>, Because the LORD <03068> hath loved

<0160> his people <05971>, he hath made <05414> (8804) thee king

<04428> over them.

2Ch 02:12 Huram <02361> said <0559> (8799) moreover, Blessed

<01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,

that made <06213> (8804) heaven <08064> and earth <0776>, who

hath given <05414> (8804) to David <01732> the king <04428> a

wise <02450> son <01121>, endued <03045> (8802) with prudence

<07922> and understanding <0998>, that might build <01129>

(8799) an house <01004> for the LORD <03068>, and an house

<01004> for his kingdom <04438>.

2Ch 02:13 And now I have sent <07971> (8804) a cunning <02450>

man <0376>, endued <03045> (8802) with understanding <0998>, of

Huram <02361> my father’s <01>,

2Ch 02:14 The son <01121> of a woman <0802> of the daughters

<01323> of Dan <01835>, and his father <01> was a man <0376> of

Tyre <06876>, skilful <03045> (8802) to work <06213> (8800) in

gold <02091>, and in silver <03701>, in brass <05178>, in iron

<01270>, in stone <068>, and in timber <06086>, in purple <0713>,

in blue <08504>, and in fine linen <0948>, and in crimson

<03758>; also to grave <06605> (8763) any manner of graving

<06603>, and to find out <02803> (8800) every device <04284>

which shall be put <05414> (8735) to him, with thy cunning men

<02450>, and with the cunning men <02450> of my lord <0113>

David <01732> thy father <01>.

2Ch 02:15 Now therefore the wheat <02406>, and the barley

<08184>, the oil <08081>, and the wine <03196>, which my lord

<0113> hath spoken <0559> (8804) of, let him send <07971> (8799)

unto his servants <05650>:

2Ch 02:16 And we will cut <03772> (8799) wood <06086> out of

Lebanon <03844>, as much as thou shalt need <06878>: and we will

bring <0935> (8686) it to thee in floats <07513> by sea <03220>

to Joppa <03305>; and thou shalt carry it up <05927> (8686) to

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 02:17 And Solomon <08010> numbered <05608> (8799) all the

strangers <0582> <01616> that were in the land <0776> of Israel

<03478>, after <0310> the numbering <05610> wherewith David

<01732> his father <01> had numbered <05608> (8804) them; and

they were found <04672> (8735) an hundred <03967> and fifty

<02572> thousand <0505> and three <07969> thousand <0505> and

six <08337> hundred <03967>.

2Ch 02:18 And he set <06213> (8799) threescore and ten <07657>

thousand <0505> of them to be bearers of burdens <05449>, and

fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> to be hewers <02672> (8802) in

the mountain <02022>, and three <07969> thousand <0505> and six

<08337> hundred <03967> overseers <05329> (8764) to set <05647>

<00> the people <05971> a work <05647> (8687).

2Ch 02:01 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> began <02490> (8686) to build

<01129> (8800) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> at

Jerusalem <03389> in mount <02022> Moriah <04179>, where the

LORD appeared <07200> (8738) unto David <01732> his father <01>,

in the place <04725> that David <01732> had prepared <03559>

(8689) in the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the

Jebusite <02983>.

2Ch 02:02 And he began <02490> (8686) to build <01129> (8800)

in the second <08145> day of the second <08145> month <02320>,

in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of his reign <04438>.

2Ch 02:03 Now these are the things wherein Solomon <08010> was

instructed <03245> (8717) for the building <01129> (8800) of the

house <01004> of God <0430>. The length <0753> by cubits <0520>

after the first <07223> measure <04060> was threescore <08346>

cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> twenty <06242> cubits

<0520>.

2Ch 02:04 And the porch <0197> that was in the front <06440> of

the house, the length <0753> of it was according to the breadth

<07341> of the house <01004>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, and

the height <01363> was an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242>:

and he overlaid <06823> (8762) it within <06441> with pure

<02889> gold <02091>.

2Ch 02:05 And the greater <01419> house <01004> he cieled

<02645> (8765) with fir <01265> tree <06086>, which he overlaid

<02645> (8762) with fine <02896> gold <02091>, and set <05927>

(8686) thereon palm trees <08561> and chains <08333>.

2Ch 02:06 And he garnished <06823> (8762) the house <01004>

with precious <03368> stones <068> for beauty <08597>: and the

gold <02091> was gold <02091> of Parvaim <06516>.

2Ch 02:07 He overlaid <02645> (8762) also the house <01004>,

the beams <06982>, the posts <05592>, and the walls <07023>

thereof, and the doors <01817> thereof, with gold <02091>; and

graved <06605> (8765) cherubims <03742> on the walls <07023>.

2Ch 02:08 And he made <06213> (8799) the most <06944> holy

<06944> house <01004>, the length <0753> whereof was according

to <06440> the breadth <07341> of the house <01004>, twenty

<06242> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> thereof twenty

<06242> cubits <0520>: and he overlaid <02645> (8762) it with

fine <02896> gold <02091>, amounting to six <08337> hundred

<03967> talents <03603>.

2Ch 02:09 And the weight <04948> of the nails <04548> was fifty

<02572> shekels <08255> of gold <02091>. And he overlaid <02645>

(8765) the upper chambers <05944> with gold <02091>.

2Ch 02:10 ¶ And in the most <06944> holy <06944> house <01004>

he made <06213> (8799) two <08147> cherubims <03742> of image

<06816> work <04639>, and overlaid <06823> (8762) them with gold

<02091>.

2Ch 02:11 And the wings <03671> of the cherubims <03742> were

twenty <06242> cubits <0520> long <0753>: one <0259> wing

<03671> of the one cherub was five <02568> cubits <0520>,

reaching <05060> (8688) to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>:

and the other <0312> wing <03671> was likewise five <02568>

cubits <0520>, reaching <05060> (8688) to the wing <03671> of

the other <0312> cherub <03742>.

2Ch 02:12 And one wing <03671> of the other <0259> cherub

<03742> was five <02568> cubits <0520>, reaching <05060> (8688)

to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>: and the other <0312>

wing <03671> was five <02568> cubits <0520> also, joining

<01695> to the wing <03671> of the other <0312> cherub <03742>.

2Ch 02:13 The wings <03671> of these cherubims <03742> spread

themselves forth <06566> (8802) twenty <06242> cubits <0520>:

and they stood <05975> (8802) on their feet <07272>, and their

faces <06440> were inward <01004>.

2Ch 02:14 And he made <06213> (8799) the vail <06532> of blue

<08504>, and purple <0713>, and crimson <03758>, and fine linen

<0948>, and wrought <05927> (8686) cherubims <03742> thereon.

2Ch 02:15 Also he made <06213> (8799) before <06440> the house

<01004> two <08147> pillars <05982> of thirty <07970> and five

<02568> cubits <0520> high <0753>, and the chapiter <06858> that

was on the top <07218> of each of them was five <02568> cubits

<0520>.

2Ch 02:16 And he made <06213> (8799) chains <08333>, as in the

oracle <01687>, and put <05414> (8799) them on the heads <07218>

of the pillars <05982>; and made <06213> (8799) an hundred

<03967> pomegranates <07416>, and put <05414> (8799) them on the

chains <08333>.

2Ch 02:17 And he reared up <06965> (8686) the pillars <05982>

before <06440> the temple <01964>, one <0259> on the right hand

<03225>, and the other <0259> on the left <08040>; and called

<07121> (8799) the name <08034> of that on the right hand

<03233> (8675) <03227> Jachin <03199>, and the name <08034> of

that on the left <08042> Boaz <01162>.

2Ch 03:01 ¶ Moreover he made <06213> (8799) an altar <04196> of

brass <05178>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520> the length <0753>

thereof, and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> the breadth <07341>

thereof, and ten <06235> cubits <0520> the height <06967>

thereof.

2Ch 03:02 Also he made <06213> (8799) a molten <03332> (8716)

sea <03220> of ten <06235> cubits <0520> from brim <08193> to

brim <08193>, round <05696> in compass <05439>, and five <02568>

cubits <0520> the height <06967> thereof; and a line <06957> of

thirty <07970> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (8799) it round

about <05439>.

2Ch 03:03 And under it was the similitude <01823> of oxen

<01241>, which did compass <05437> (8802) it round about <05439>:

ten <06235> in a cubit <0520>, compassing <05362> (8688) the

sea <03220> round about <05439>. Two <08147> rows <02905> of

oxen <01241> were cast <03332> (8803), when it was cast <04166>.

2Ch 03:04 It stood <05975> (8802) upon twelve <08147> <06240>

oxen <01241>, three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the

north <06828>, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward

the west <03220>, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802)

toward the south <05045>, and three <07969> looking <06437>

(8802) toward the east <04217>: and the sea <03220> was set

above <04605> upon them, and all their hinder parts <0268> were

inward <01004>.

2Ch 03:05 And the thickness <05672> of it was an handbreadth

<02947>, and the brim <08193> of it like the work <04639> of the

brim <08193> of a cup <03563>, with flowers <06525> of lilies

<07799>; and it received <02388> (8688) and held <03557> (8686)

three <07969> thousand <0505> baths <01324>.

2Ch 03:06 He made <06213> (8799) also ten <06235> lavers

<03595>, and put <05414> (8799) five <02568> on the right hand

<03225>, and five <02568> on the left <08040>, to wash <07364>

(8800) in them: such things as they offered <04639> for the

burnt offering <05930> they washed <01740> (8686) in them; but

the sea <03220> was for the priests <03548> to wash in <07364>

(8800).

2Ch 03:07 And he made <06213> (8799) ten <06235> candlesticks

<04501> of gold <02091> according to their form <04941>, and set

<05414> (8799) them in the temple <01964>, five <02568> on the

right hand <03225>, and five <02568> on the left <08040>.

2Ch 03:08 He made <06213> (8799) also ten <06235> tables

<07979>, and placed <03240> (8686) them in the temple <01964>,

five <02568> on the right side <03225>, and five <02568> on the

left <08040>. And he made <06213> (8799) an hundred <03967>

basons <04219> of gold <02091>.

2Ch 03:09 Furthermore he made <06213> (8799) the court <02691>

of the priests <03548>, and the great <01419> court <05835>, and

doors <01817> for the court <05835>, and overlaid <06823> (8765)

the doors <01817> of them with brass <05178>.

2Ch 03:10 And he set <05414> (8804) the sea <03220> on the

right <03233> side <03802> of the east end <06924>, over against

<04136> the south <05045>.

2Ch 03:11 ¶ And Huram <02361> made <06213> (8799) the pots

<05518>, and the shovels <03257>, and the basons <04219>. And

Huram <02361> (8676) <02438> finished <03615> (8762) <06213>

(8800) the work <04399> that he was to make <06213> (8804) for

king <04428> Solomon <08010> for the house <01004> of God <0430>;

2Ch 03:12 To wit, the two <08147> pillars <05982>, and the

pommels <01543>, and the chapiters <03805> which were on the top

<07218> of the two pillars <05982>, and the two <08147> wreaths

<07639> to cover <03680> (8763) the two <08147> pommels <01543>

of the chapiters <03805> which were on the top <07218> of the

pillars <05982>;

2Ch 03:13 And four <0702> hundred <03967> pomegranates <07416>

on the two <08147> wreaths <07639>; two <08147> rows <02905> of

pomegranates <07416> on each <0259> wreath <07639>, to cover

<03680> (8763) the two <08147> pommels <01543> of the chapiters

<03805> which were upon <06440> the pillars <05982>.

2Ch 03:14 He made <06213> (8804) also bases <04350>, and lavers

<03595> made <06213> (8804) he upon the bases <04350>;

2Ch 03:15 One <0259> sea <03220>, and twelve <08147> <06240>

oxen <01241> under it.

2Ch 03:16 The pots <05518> also, and the shovels <03257>, and

the fleshhooks <04207>, and all their instruments <03627>, did

Huram <02361> his father <01> make <06213> (8804) to king

<04428> Solomon <08010> for the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> of bright <04838> (8803) brass <05178>.

2Ch 03:17 In the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383> did the king

<04428> cast <03332> (8804) them, in the clay <05645> ground

<0127> between Succoth <05523> and Zeredathah <06868>.

2Ch 03:18 Thus Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) all these

vessels <03627> in great <03966> abundance <07230>: for the

weight <04948> of the brass <05178> could not be found out

<02713> (8738).

2Ch 03:19 And Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) all the

vessels <03627> that were for the house <01004> of God <0430>,

the golden <02091> altar <04196> also, and the tables <07979>

whereon the shewbread <03899> <06440> was set;

2Ch 03:20 Moreover the candlesticks <04501> with their lamps

<05216>, that they should burn <01197> (8763) after the manner

<04941> before <06440> the oracle <01687>, of pure <05462>

(8803) gold <02091>;

2Ch 03:21 And the flowers <06525>, and the lamps <05216>, and

the tongs <04457>, made he of gold <02091>, and that perfect

<04357> gold <02091>;

2Ch 03:22 And the snuffers <04212>, and the basons <04219>, and

the spoons <03709>, and the censers <04289>, of pure <05462>

(8803) gold <02091>: and the entry <06607> of the house <01004>,

the inner <06442> doors <01817> thereof for the most <06944>

holy <06944> place, and the doors <01817> of the house <01004>

of the temple <01964>, were of gold <02091>.

2Ch 05:01 ¶ Thus all the work <04399> that Solomon <08010> made

<06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> was

finished <07999> (8799): and Solomon <08010> brought <0935>

(8686) in all the things <06944> <00> that David <01732> his

father <01> had dedicated <06944>; and the silver <03701>, and

the gold <02091>, and all the instruments <03627>, put <05414>

(8804) he among the treasures <0214> of the house <01004> of God

<0430>.

2Ch 05:02 Then Solomon <08010> assembled <06950> (8686) the

elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and all the heads <07218> of

the tribes <04294>, the chief <05387> of the fathers <01> of the

children <01121> of Israel <03478>, unto Jerusalem <03389>, to

bring up <05927> (8687) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>

of the LORD <03068> out of the city <05892> of David <01732>,

which is Zion <06726>.

2Ch 05:03 Wherefore all the men <0376> of Israel <03478>

assembled <06950> (8735) themselves unto the king <04428> in the

feast <02282> which was in the seventh <07637> month <02320>.

2Ch 05:04 And all the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> came

<0935> (8799); and the Levites <03881> took up <05375> (8799)

the ark <0727>.

2Ch 05:05 And they brought up <05927> (8686) the ark <0727>,

and the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, and all

the holy <06944> vessels <03627> that were in the tabernacle

<0168>, these did the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>

bring up <05927> (8689).

2Ch 05:06 Also king <04428> Solomon <08010>, and all the

congregation <05712> of Israel <03478> that were assembled

<03259> (8737) unto him before <06440> the ark <0727>,

sacrificed <02076> (8764) sheep <06629> and oxen <01241>, which

could not be told <05608> (8735) nor numbered <04487> (8735) for

multitude <07230>.

2Ch 05:07 And the priests <03548> brought in <0935> (8686) the

ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> unto his

place <04725>, to the oracle <01687> of the house <01004>, into

the most <06944> holy <06944> place, even under the wings

<03671> of the cherubims <03742>:

2Ch 05:08 For the cherubims <03742> spread forth <06566> (8802)

their wings <03671> over the place <04725> of the ark <0727>,

and the cherubims <03742> covered <03680> (8762) the ark <0727>

and the staves <0905> thereof above <04605>.

2Ch 05:09 And they drew out <0748> (8686) the staves <0905> of

the ark, that the ends <07218> of the staves <0905> were seen

<07200> (8735) from the ark <0727> before <06440> the oracle

<01687>; but they were not seen <07200> (8735) without <02351>.

And there it is unto this day <03117>.

2Ch 05:10 There was nothing in the ark <0727> save the two

<08147> tables <03871> which Moses <04872> put <05414> (8804)

therein at Horeb <02722>, when the LORD <03068> made <03772>

(8804) a covenant with the children <01121> of Israel <03478>,

when they came out <03318> (8800) of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 05:11 ¶ And it came to pass, when the priests <03548> were

come out <03318> (8800) of the holy <06944> place: (for all the

priests <03548> that were present <04672> (8737) were sanctified

<06942> (8694), and did not then wait <08104> (8800) by course

<04256>:

2Ch 05:12 Also the Levites <03881> which were the singers

<07891> (8789), all of them of Asaph <0623>, of Heman <01968>,

of Jeduthun <03038>, with their sons <01121> and their brethren

<0251>, being arrayed <03847> (8794) in white linen <0948>,

having cymbals <04700> and psalteries <05035> and harps <03658>,

stood <05975> (8802) at the east end <04217> of the altar

<04196>, and with them an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242>

priests <03548> sounding <02690> (8688) with trumpets <02689>:)

2Ch 05:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters <02690>

(8764) (8675) <02690> (8764) and singers <07891> (8789) were as

one <0259>, to make one <0259> sound <06963> to be heard <08085>

(8687) in praising <01984> (8763) and thanking <03034> (8687)

the LORD <03068>; and when they lifted up <07311> (8687) their

voice <06963> with the trumpets <02689> and cymbals <04700> and

instruments <03627> of musick <07892>, and praised <01984>

(8763) the LORD <03068>, saying, For he is good <02896>; for his

mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>: that then the house

<01004> was filled <04390> (8804) with a cloud <06051>, even the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>;

2Ch 05:14 So that the priests <03548> could <03201> (8804) not

stand <05975> (8800) to minister <08334> (8763) by reason

<06440> of the cloud <06051>: for the glory <03519> of the LORD

<03068> had filled <04390> (8804) the house <01004> of God

<0430>.

2Ch 06:01 ¶ Then said <0559> (8804) Solomon <08010>, The LORD

<03068> hath said <0559> (8804) that he would dwell <07931>

(8800) in the thick darkness <06205>.

2Ch 06:02 But I have built <01129> (8804) an house <01004> of

habitation <02073> for thee, and a place <04349> for thy

dwelling <03427> (8800) for ever <05769>.

2Ch 06:03 And the king <04428> turned <05437> (8686) his face

<06440>, and blessed <01288> (8762) the whole congregation

<06951> of Israel <03478>: and all the congregation <06951> of

Israel <03478> stood <05975> (8802).

2Ch 06:04 And he said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be

the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, who hath with his

hands <03027> fulfilled <04390> (8765) that which he spake

<01696> (8765) with his mouth <06310> to my father <01> David

<01732>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 06:05 Since the day <03117> that I brought forth <03318>

(8689) my people <05971> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>

I chose <0977> (8804) no city <05892> among all the tribes

<07626> of Israel <03478> to build <01129> (8800) an house

<01004> in, that my name <08034> might be there; neither chose

<0977> (8804) I any man <0376> to be a ruler <05057> over my

people <05971> Israel <03478>:

2Ch 06:06 But I have chosen <0977> (8799) Jerusalem <03389>,

that my name <08034> might be there; and have chosen <0977>

(8799) David <01732> to be over my people <05971> Israel <03478>.

2Ch 06:07 Now it was in the heart <03824> of David <01732> my

father <01> to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the

name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 06:08 But the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to David

<01732> my father <01>, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart

<03824> to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for my name

<08034>, thou didst well <02895> (8689) in that it was in thine

heart <03824>:

2Ch 06:09 Notwithstanding <07535> thou shalt not build <01129>

(8799) the house <01004>; but thy son <01121> which shall come

forth <03318> (8802) out of thy loins <02504>, he shall build

<01129> (8799) the house <01004> for my name <08034>.

2Ch 06:10 The LORD <03068> therefore hath performed <06965>

(8686) his word <01697> that he hath spoken <01696> (8765): for

I am risen up <06965> (8799) in the room of David <01732> my

father <01>, and am set <03427> (8799) on the throne <03678> of

Israel <03478>, as the LORD <03068> promised <01696> (8765), and

have built <01129> (8799) the house <01004> for the name <08034>

of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 06:11 And in it <08033> have I put <07760> (8799) the ark

<0727>, wherein is the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>,

that he made <03772> (8804) with the children <01121> of Israel

<03478>.

2Ch 06:12 ¶ And he stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the altar

<04196> of the LORD <03068> in the presence of all the

congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, and spread forth <06566>

(8799) his hands <03709>:

2Ch 06:13 For Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) a brasen

<05178> scaffold <03595>, of five <02568> cubits <0520> long

<0753>, and five <02568> cubits <0520> broad <07341>, and three

<07969> cubits <0520> high <06967>, and had set <05414> (8799)

it in the midst <08432> of the court <05835>: and upon it he

stood <05975> (8799), and kneeled down <01288> (8799) upon his

knees <01290> before all the congregation <06951> of Israel

<03478>, and spread forth <06566> (8799) his hands <03709>

toward heaven <08064>,

2Ch 06:14 And said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of

Israel <03478>, there is no God <0430> like thee in the heaven

<08064>, nor in the earth <0776>; which keepest <08104> (8802)

covenant <01285>, and shewest mercy <02617> unto thy servants

<05650>, that walk <01980> (8802) before <06440> thee with all

their hearts <03820>:

2Ch 06:15 Thou which hast kept <08104> (8804) with thy servant

<05650> David <01732> my father <01> that which thou hast

promised <01696> (8765) him; and spakest <01696> (8762) with thy

mouth <06310>, and hast fulfilled <04390> (8765) it with thine

hand <03027>, as it is this day <03117>.

2Ch 06:16 Now therefore, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>, keep <08104> (8798) with thy servant <05650> David

<01732> my father <01> that which thou hast promised <01696>

(8765) him, saying <0559> (8800), There shall not fail <03772>

(8735) thee a man <0376> in my sight <06440> to sit <03427>

(8802) upon the throne <03678> of Israel <03478>; yet so <07535>

that thy children <01121> take heed <08104> (8799) to their way

<01870> to walk <03212> (8800) in my law <08451>, as thou hast

walked <01980> (8804) before <06440> me.

2Ch 06:17 Now then, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,

let thy word <01697> be verified <0539> (8735), which thou hast

spoken <01696> (8765) unto thy servant <05650> David <01732>.

2Ch 06:18 But will God <0430> in very deed <0552> dwell <03427>

(8799) with men <0120> on the earth <0776>? behold, heaven

<08064> and the heaven <08064> of heavens <08064> cannot contain

<03557> (8770) thee; how much less this house <01004> which I

have built <01129> (8804)!

2Ch 06:19 Have respect <06437> (8804) therefore to the prayer

<08605> of thy servant <05650>, and to his supplication <08467>,

O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, to hearken <08085> (8800) unto the

cry <07440> and the prayer <08605> which thy servant <05650>

prayeth <06419> (8693) before <06440> thee:

2Ch 06:20 That thine eyes <05869> may be open <06605> (8803)

upon this house <01004> day <03119> and night <03915>, upon the

place <04725> whereof thou hast said <0559> (8804) that thou

wouldest put <07760> (8800) thy name <08034> there; to hearken

<08085> (8800) unto the prayer <08605> which thy servant <05650>

prayeth <06419> (8691) toward this place <04725>.

2Ch 06:21 Hearken <08085> (8804) therefore unto the

supplications <08469> of thy servant <05650>, and of thy people

<05971> Israel <03478>, which they shall make <06419> (8691)

toward this place <04725>: hear <08085> (8799) thou from thy

dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04725>, even from heaven <08064>;

and when thou hearest <08085> (8804), forgive <05545> (8804).

2Ch 06:22 If a man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against his

neighbour <07453>, and an oath <0423> be laid <05375> (8804)

upon him to make him swear <0422> (8687), and the oath <0423>

come <0935> (8804) before <06440> thine altar <04196> in this

house <01004>;

2Ch 06:23 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven <08064>,

and do <06213> (8804), and judge <08199> (8804) thy servants

<05650>, by requiting <07725> (8687) the wicked <07563>, by

recompensing <05414> (8800) his way <01870> upon his own head

<07218>; and by justifying <06663> (8687) the righteous <06662>,

by giving <05414> (8800) him according to his righteousness

<06666>.

2Ch 06:24 And if thy people <05971> Israel <03478> be put to

the worse <05062> (8735) before <06440> the enemy <0341> (8802),

because they have sinned <02398> (8799) against thee; and shall

return <07725> (8804) and confess <03034> (8689) thy name

<08034>, and pray <06419> (8694) and make supplication <02603>

(8694) before <06440> thee in this house <01004>;

2Ch 06:25 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from the heavens

<08064>, and forgive <05545> (8804) the sin <02403> of thy

people <05971> Israel <03478>, and bring them again <07725>

(8689) unto the land <0127> which thou gavest <05414> (8804) to

them and to their fathers <01>.

2Ch 06:26 When the heaven <08064> is shut up <06113> (8736),

and there is no rain <04306>, because they have sinned <02398>

(8799) against thee; yet if they pray <06419> (8694) toward this

place <04725>, and confess <03034> (8689) thy name <08034>, and

turn <07725> (8799) from their sin <02403>, when thou dost

afflict <06031> (8686) them;

2Ch 06:27 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven <08064>,

and forgive <05545> (8804) the sin <02403> of thy servants

<05650>, and of thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, when thou

hast taught <03384> (8686) them the good <02896> way <01870>,

wherein they should walk <03212> (8799); and send <05414> (8804)

rain <04306> upon thy land <0776>, which thou hast given <05414>

(8804) unto thy people <05971> for an inheritance <05159>.

2Ch 06:28 If there be dearth <07458> in the land <0776>, if

there be pestilence <01698>, if there be blasting <07711>, or

mildew <03420>, locusts <0697>, or caterpillers <02625>; if

their enemies <0341> (8802) besiege <06887> (8686) them in the

cities <08179> of their land <0776>; whatsoever sore <05061> or

whatsoever sickness <04245> there be:

2Ch 06:29 Then what prayer <08605> or what supplication <08467>

soever shall be made of any man <0120>, or of all thy people

<05971> Israel <03478>, when every one <0376> shall know <03045>

(8799) his own sore <05061> and his own grief <04341>, and shall

spread forth <06566> (8804) his hands <03709> in this house

<01004>:

2Ch 06:30 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven <08064> thy

dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>, and forgive <05545>

(8804), and render <05414> (8804) unto every man <0376>

according unto all his ways <01870>, whose heart <03824> thou

knowest <03045> (8799); (for thou only knowest <03045> (8804)

the hearts <03824> of the children <01121> of men <0120>:)

2Ch 06:31 That they may fear <03372> (8799) thee, to walk

<03212> (8800) in thy ways <01870>, so long as <03117> they live

<02416> <06440> in the land <0127> which thou gavest <05414>

(8804) unto our fathers <01>.

2Ch 06:32 Moreover concerning the stranger <05237>, which is

not of thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, but is come <0935>

(8804) from a far <07350> country <0776> for thy great <01419>

name’s <08034> sake, and thy mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and

thy stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <02220>; if they come

<0935> (8804) and pray <06419> (8694) in this house <01004>;

2Ch 06:33 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from the heavens

<08064>, even from thy dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>,

and do <06213> (8804) according to all that the stranger <05237>

calleth <07121> (8799) to thee for; that all people <05971> of

the earth <0776> may know <03045> (8799) thy name <08034>, and

fear <03372> (8800) thee, as doth thy people <05971> Israel

<03478>, and may know <03045> (8800) that this house <01004>

which I have built <01129> (8804) is called <07121> (8738) by

thy name <08034>.

2Ch 06:34 If thy people <05971> go out <03318> (8799) to war

<04421> against their enemies <0341> (8802) by the way <01870>

that thou shalt send <07971> (8799) them, and they pray <06419>

(8694) unto thee toward <01870> this city <05892> which thou

hast chosen <0977> (8804), and the house <01004> which I have

built <01129> (8804) for thy name <08034>;

2Ch 06:35 Then hear <08085> (8804) thou from the heavens

<08064> their prayer <08605> and their supplication <08467>, and

maintain <06213> (8804) their cause <04941>.

2Ch 06:36 If they sin <02398> (8799) against thee, (for there

is no man <0120> which sinneth <02398> (8799) not,) and thou be

angry <0599> (8804) with them, and deliver <05414> (8804) them

over before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802), and they carry

them away <07617> (8804) captives <07617> (8802) unto a land

<0776> far off <07350> or near <07138>;

2Ch 06:37 Yet if they bethink <07725> (8689) <03824> themselves

in the land <0776> whither they are carried captive <07617>

(8738), and turn <07725> (8804) and pray <02603> (8694) unto

thee in the land <0776> of their captivity <07628>, saying

<0559> (8800), We have sinned <02398> (8804), we have done amiss

<05753> (8689), and have dealt wickedly <07561> (8804);

2Ch 06:38 If they return <07725> (8804) to thee with all their

heart <03820> and with all their soul <05315> in the land <0776>

of their captivity <07628>, whither they have carried them

captives <07617> (8804), and pray <06419> (8694) toward <01870>

their land <0776>, which thou gavest <05414> (8804) unto their

fathers <01>, and toward the city <05892> which thou hast chosen

<0977> (8804), and toward the house <01004> which I have built

<01129> (8804) for thy name <08034>:

2Ch 06:39 Then hear <08085> (8804) thou from the heavens

<08064>, even from thy dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>,

their prayer <08605> and their supplications <08467>, and

maintain <06213> (8804) their cause <04941>, and forgive <05545>

(8804) thy people <05971> which have sinned <02398> (8804)

against thee.

2Ch 06:40 Now, my God <0430>, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes

<05869> be open <06605> (8803), and let thine ears <0241> be

attent <07183> unto the prayer <08605> that is made in this

place <04725>.

2Ch 06:41 Now therefore arise <06965> (8798), O LORD <03068>

God <0430>, into thy resting <05118> place, thou, and the ark

<0727> of thy strength <05797>: let thy priests <03548>, O LORD

<03068> God <0430>, be clothed <03847> (8799) with salvation

<08668>, and let thy saints <02623> rejoice <08055> (8799) in

goodness <02896>.

2Ch 06:42 O LORD <03068> God <0430>, turn not away <07725>

(8686) the face <06440> of thine anointed <04899>: remember

<02142> (8798) the mercies <02617> of David <01732> thy servant

<05650>.

2Ch 07:01 ¶ Now when Solomon <08010> had made an end <03615>

(8763) of praying <06419> (8692), the fire <0784> came down

<03381> (8804) from heaven <08064>, and consumed <0398> (8799)

the burnt offering <05930> and the sacrifices <02077>; and the

glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> (8804) the

house <01004>.

2Ch 07:02 And the priests <03548> could <03201> (8804) not

enter <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>,

because the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> had filled <04390>

(8804) the LORD’S <03068> house <01004>.

2Ch 07:03 And when all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>

saw <07200> (8802) how the fire <0784> came down <03381> (8800),

and the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> upon the house <01004>,

they bowed <03766> (8799) themselves with their faces <0639> to

the ground <0776> upon the pavement <07531>, and worshipped

<07812> (8691), and praised <03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>,

saying, For he is good <02896>; for his mercy <02617> endureth

for ever <05769>.

2Ch 07:04 Then the king <04428> and all the people <05971>

offered <02076> (8802) sacrifices <02077> before <06440> the

LORD <03068>.

2Ch 07:05 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> offered <02076>

(8799) a sacrifice <02077> of twenty <06242> and two <08147>

thousand <0505> oxen <01241>, and an hundred <03967> and twenty

<06242> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>: so the king <04428> and

all the people <05971> dedicated <02596> (8799) the house

<01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 07:06 And the priests <03548> waited <05975> (8802) on

their offices <04931>: the Levites <03881> also with instruments

<03627> of musick <07892> of the LORD <03068>, which David

<01732> the king <04428> had made <06213> (8804) to praise

<03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>, because his mercy <02617>

endureth for ever <05769>, when David <01732> praised <01984>

(8763) by their ministry <03027>; and the priests <03548>

sounded trumpets <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764) before

them, and all Israel <03478> stood <05975> (8802).

2Ch 07:07 Moreover Solomon <08010> hallowed <06942> (8762) the

middle <08432> of the court <02691> that was before <06440> the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: for there he offered <06213>

(8804) burnt offerings <05930>, and the fat <02459> of the peace

offerings <08002>, because the brasen <05178> altar <04196>

which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) was not able

<03201> (8804) to receive <03557> (8687) the burnt offerings

<05930>, and the meat offerings <04503>, and the fat <02459>.

2Ch 07:08 Also at the same time <06256> Solomon <08010> kept

<06213> (8799) the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>, and

all Israel <03478> with him, a very <03966> great <01419>

congregation <06951>, from the entering in <0935> (8800) of

Hamath <02574> unto the river <05158> of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 07:09 And in the eighth <08066> day <03117> they made

<06213> (8799) a solemn assembly <06116>: for they kept <06213>

(8804) the dedication <02598> of the altar <04196> seven <07651>

days <03117>, and the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>.

2Ch 07:10 And on the three <07969> and twentieth <06242> day

<03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320> he sent <07971>

<00> the people <05971> away <07971> (8765) into their tents

<0168>, glad <08056> and merry <02896> in heart <03820> for the

goodness <02896> that the LORD <03068> had shewed <06213> (8804)

unto David <01732>, and to Solomon <08010>, and to Israel

<03478> his people <05971>.

2Ch 07:11 Thus Solomon <08010> finished <03615> (8762) the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king’s <04428> house

<01004>: and all that came <0935> (8802) into Solomon’s <08010>

heart <03820> to make <06213> (8800) in the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, and in his own house <01004>, he prosperously

effected <06743> (8689).

2Ch 07:12 ¶ And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) to

Solomon <08010> by night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) unto

him, I have heard <08085> (8804) thy prayer <08605>, and have

chosen <0977> (8804) this place <04725> to myself for an house

<01004> of sacrifice <02077>.

2Ch 07:13 If <02005> I shut up <06113> (8799) heaven <08064>

that there be no rain <04306>, or if I command <06680> (8762)

the locusts <02284> to devour <0398> (8800) the land <0776>, or

if I send <07971> (8762) pestilence <01698> among my people

<05971>;

2Ch 07:14 If my people <05971>, which are called <07121> (8738)

by my name <08034>, shall humble <03665> (8735) themselves, and

pray <06419> (8691), and seek <01245> (8762) my face <06440>,

and turn <07725> (8799) from their wicked <07451> ways <01870>;

then will I hear <08085> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and will

forgive <05545> (8799) their sin <02403>, and will heal <07495>

(8799) their land <0776>.

2Ch 07:15 Now mine eyes <05869> shall be open <06605> (8803),

and mine ears <0241> attent <07183> unto the prayer <08605> that

is made in this place <04725>.

2Ch 07:16 For now have I chosen <0977> (8804) and sanctified

<06942> (8689) this house <01004>, that my name <08034> may be

there for <05704> ever <05769>: and mine eyes <05869> and mine

heart <03820> shall be there perpetually <03117>.

2Ch 07:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk <03212> (8799)

before <06440> me, as David <01732> thy father <01> walked

<01980> (8804), and do <06213> (8800) according to all that I

have commanded <06680> (8765) thee, and shalt observe <08104>

(8799) my statutes <02706> and my judgments <04941>;

2Ch 07:18 Then will I stablish <06965> (8689) the throne

<03678> of thy kingdom <04438>, according as I have covenanted

<03772> (8804) with David <01732> thy father <01>, saying <0559>

(8800), There shall not fail <03772> (8735) thee a man <0376> to

be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478>.

2Ch 07:19 But if ye turn away <07725> (8799), and forsake

<05800> (8804) my statutes <02708> and my commandments <04687>,

which I have set <05414> (8804) before <06440> you, and shall go

<01980> (8804) and serve <05647> (8804) other <0312> gods <0430>,

and worship <07812> (8694) them;

2Ch 07:20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots <05428> (8804)

out of my land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them;

and this house <01004>, which I have sanctified <06942> (8689)

for my name <08034>, will I cast out <07993> (8686) of my sight

<06440>, and will make <05414> (8799) it to be a proverb <04912>

and a byword <08148> among all nations <05971>.

2Ch 07:21 And this house <01004>, which is high <05945>, shall

be an astonishment <08074> (8799) to every one that passeth

<05674> (8802) by it; so that he shall say <0559> (8804), Why

hath the LORD <03068> done <06213> (8804) thus unto this land

<0776>, and unto this house <01004>?

2Ch 07:22 And it shall be answered <0559> (8804), Because they

forsook <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their

fathers <01>, which brought them forth <03318> (8689) out of the

land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and laid hold <02388> (8686) on

other <0312> gods <0430>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) them,

and served <05647> (8799) them: therefore hath he brought <0935>

(8689) all this evil <07451> upon them.

2Ch 08:01 ¶ And it came to pass at the end <07093> of twenty

<06242> years <08141>, wherein Solomon <08010> had built <01129>

(8804) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and his own house

<01004>,

2Ch 08:02 That the cities <05892> which Huram <02361> had

restored <05414> (8804) to Solomon <08010>, Solomon <08010>

built <01129> (8804) them, and caused the children <01121> of

Israel <03478> to dwell <03427> (8686) there.

2Ch 08:03 And Solomon <08010> went <03212> (8799) to

Hamathzobah <02578>, and prevailed <02388> (8799) against it.

2Ch 08:04 And he built <01129> (8799) Tadmor <08412> in the

wilderness <04057>, and all the store <04543> cities <05892>,

which he built <01129> (8804) in Hamath <02574>.

2Ch 08:05 Also he built <01129> (8799) Bethhoron <01032> the

upper <05945>, and Bethhoron <01032> the nether <08481>, fenced

<04692> cities <05892>, with walls <02346>, gates <01817>, and

bars <01280>;

2Ch 08:06 And Baalath <01191>, and all the store <04543> cities

<05892> that Solomon <08010> had, and all the chariot <07393>

cities <05892>, and the cities <05892> of the horsemen <06571>,

and all that Solomon <08010> desired <02836> (8804) <02837> to

build <01129> (8800) in Jerusalem <03389>, and in Lebanon

<03844>, and throughout all the land <0776> of his dominion

<04475>.

2Ch 08:07 As for all the people <05971> that were left <03498>

(8737) of the Hittites <02850>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the

Perizzites <06522>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites

<02983>, which were not of Israel <03478>,

2Ch 08:08 But of their children <01121>, who were left <03498>

(8738) after <0310> them in the land <0776>, whom the children

<01121> of Israel <03478> consumed <03615> (8765) not, them did

Solomon <08010> make to pay <05927> (8686) tribute <04522> until

this day <03117>.

2Ch 08:09 But of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did

Solomon <08010> make <05414> (8804) no servants <05650> for his

work <04399>; but they were men <0582> of war <04421>, and chief

<08269> of his captains <07991>, and captains <08269> of his

chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571>.

2Ch 08:10 And these were the chief <08269> of king <04428>

Solomon’s <08010> officers <05324> (8737) (8675) <05333>, even

two hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>, that bare rule <07287>

(8802) over the people <05971>.

2Ch 08:11 And Solomon <08010> brought up <05927> (8689) the

daughter <01323> of Pharaoh <06547> out of the city <05892> of

David <01732> unto the house <01004> that he had built <01129>

(8804) for her: for he said <0559> (8804), My wife <0802> shall

not dwell <03427> (8799) in the house <01004> of David <01732>

king <04428> of Israel <03478>, because the places are holy

<06944>, whereunto the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> hath come

<0935> (8804).

2Ch 08:12 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> offered <05927> (8689) burnt

offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068> on the altar <04196> of

the LORD <03068>, which he had built <01129> (8804) before

<06440> the porch <0197>,

2Ch 08:13 Even after a certain rate <01697> every day <03117>,

offering <05927> (8687) according to the commandment <04687> of

Moses <04872>, on the sabbaths <07676>, and on the new moons

<02320>, and on the solemn feasts <04150>, three <07969> times

<06471> in the year <08141>, even in the feast <02282> of

unleavened bread <04682>, and in the feast <02282> of weeks

<07620>, and in the feast <02282> of tabernacles <05521>.

2Ch 08:14 And he appointed <05975> (8686), according to the

order <04941> of David <01732> his father <01>, the courses

<04256> of the priests <03548> to their service <05656>, and the

Levites <03881> to their charges <04931>, to praise <01984>

(8763) and minister <08334> (8763) before the priests <03548>,

as the duty <01697> of every day <03117> required <03117>: the

porters <07778> also by their courses <04256> at every gate

<08179>: for so had David <01732> the man <0376> of God <0430>

commanded <04687>.

2Ch 08:15 And they departed <05493> (8804) not from the

commandment <04687> of the king <04428> unto the priests <03548>

and Levites <03881> concerning any matter <01697>, or concerning

the treasures <0214>.

2Ch 08:16 Now all the work <04399> of Solomon <08010> was

prepared <03559> (8735) unto the day <03117> of the foundation

<04143> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and until it

was finished <03615> (8800). So the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> was perfected <08003>.

2Ch 08:17 Then went <01980> (8804) Solomon <08010> to

Eziongeber <06100>, and to Eloth <0359>, at the sea <03220> side

<08193> in the land <0776> of Edom <0123>.

2Ch 08:18 And Huram <02361> sent <07971> (8799) him by the

hands <03027> of his servants <05650> ships <0591> (8675) <0591>,

and servants <05650> that had knowledge <03045> (8802) of the

sea <03220>; and they went <0935> (8799) with the servants

<05650> of Solomon <08010> to Ophir <0211>, and took <03947>

(8799) thence four <0702> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>

talents <03603> of gold <02091>, and brought <0935> (8686) them

to king <04428> Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:01 ¶ And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> heard

<08085> (8804) of the fame <08088> of Solomon <08010>, she came

<0935> (8799) to prove <05254> (8763) Solomon <08010> with hard

questions <02420> at Jerusalem <03389>, with a very <03966>

great <03515> company <02428>, and camels <01581> that bare

<05375> (8802) spices <01314>, and gold <02091> in abundance

<07230>, and precious <03368> stones <068>: and when she was

come <0935> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, she communed <01696>

(8762) with him of all that was in her heart <03824>.

2Ch 09:02 And Solomon <08010> told <05046> (8686) her all her

questions <01697>: and there was nothing hid <05956> (8738) from

Solomon <08010> which he told <05046> (8689) her not.

2Ch 09:03 And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> had seen

<07200> (8799) the wisdom <02451> of Solomon <08010>, and the

house <01004> that he had built <01129> (8804),

2Ch 09:04 And the meat <03978> of his table <07979>, and the

sitting <04186> of his servants <05650>, and the attendance

<04612> of his ministers <08334> (8764), and their apparel

<04403>; his cupbearers <08248> (8688) also, and their apparel

<04403>; and his ascent <05944> by which he went up <05927>

(8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; there was no

more spirit <07307> in her.

2Ch 09:05 And she said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428>, It

was a true <0571> report <01697> which I heard <08085> (8804) in

mine own land <0776> of thine acts <01697>, and of thy wisdom

<02451>:

2Ch 09:06 Howbeit I believed <0539> (8689) not their words

<01697>, until I came <0935> (8804), and mine eyes <05869> had

seen <07200> (8799) it: and, behold, the one half <02677> of the

greatness <04768> of thy wisdom <02451> was not told <05046>

(8717) me: for thou exceedest <03254> (8804) the fame <08052>

that I heard <08085> (8804).

2Ch 09:07 Happy <0835> are thy men <0582>, and happy <0835> are

these thy servants <05650>, which stand <05975> (8802)

continually <08548> before <06440> thee, and hear <08085> (8802)

thy wisdom <02451>.

2Ch 09:08 Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> thy God

<0430>, which delighted <02654> (8804) in thee to set <05414>

(8800) thee on his throne <03678>, to be king <04428> for the

LORD <03068> thy God <0430>: because thy God <0430> loved <0160>

Israel <03478>, to establish <05975> (8687) them for ever

<05769>, therefore made <05414> (8799) he thee king <04428> over

them, to do <06213> (8800) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>.

2Ch 09:09 And she gave <05414> (8799) the king <04428> an

hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents <03603> of gold

<02091>, and of spices <01314> great <03966> abundance <07230>,

and precious <03368> stones <068>: neither was there any such

spice <01314> as the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> gave <05414>

(8804) king <04428> Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:10 And the servants <05650> also of Huram <02361>, and

the servants <05650> of Solomon <08010>, which brought <0935>

(8689) gold <02091> from Ophir <0211>, brought <0935> (8689)

algum <0418> trees <06086> and precious <03368> stones <068>.

2Ch 09:11 And the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) of the algum

<0418> trees <06086> terraces <04546> to the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>, and to the king’s <04428> palace <01004>, and

harps <03658> and psalteries <05035> for singers <07891> (8802):

and there were none such <01992> seen <07200> (8738) before

<06440> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 09:12 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804)

to the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> all her desire <02656>,

whatsoever she asked <07592> (8804), beside that which she had

brought <0935> (8689) unto the king <04428>. So she turned

<02015> (8799), and went away <03212> (8799) to her own land

<0776>, she and her servants <05650>.

2Ch 09:13 ¶ Now the weight <04948> of gold <02091> that came

<0935> (8804) to Solomon <08010> in one <0259> year <08141> was

six <08337> hundred <03967> and threescore <08346> and six

<08337> talents <03603> of gold <02091>;

2Ch 09:14 Beside that which chapmen <0582> <08446> (8802) and

merchants <05503> (8802) brought <0935> (8688). And all the

kings <04428> of Arabia <06152> and governors <06346> of the

country <0776> brought <0935> (8688) gold <02091> and silver

<03701> to Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:15 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799)

two hundred <03967> targets <06793> of beaten <07820> (8803)

gold <02091>: six <08337> hundred <03967> shekels of beaten

<07820> (8803) gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259>

target <06793>.

2Ch 09:16 And three <07969> hundred <03967> shields <04043>

made he of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091>: three <07969>

hundred <03967> shekels of gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to

one <0259> shield <04043>. And the king <04428> put <05414>

(8799) them in the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of

Lebanon <03844>.

2Ch 09:17 Moreover the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) a great

<01419> throne <03678> of ivory <08127>, and overlaid <06823>

(8762) it with pure <02889> gold <02091>.

2Ch 09:18 And there were six <08337> steps <04609> to the

throne <03678>, with a footstool <03534> of gold <02091>, which

were fastened <0270> (8716) to the throne <03678>, and stays

<03027> on each side of the sitting <03427> (8800) place <04725>,

and two <08147> lions <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681>

the stays <03027>:

2Ch 09:19 And twelve <08147> <06240> lions <0738> stood <05975>

(8802) there on the one side and on the other upon the six

<08337> steps <04609>. There was not the like made <06213>

(8738) in any kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 09:20 And all the drinking <04945> vessels <03627> of king

<04428> Solomon <08010> were of gold <02091>, and all the

vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of

Lebanon <03844> were of pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>: none

were of silver <03701>; it was not any <03972> thing accounted

<02803> (8737) of in the days <03117> of Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:21 For the king’s <04428> ships <0591> went <01980>

(8802) to Tarshish <08659> with the servants <05650> of Huram

<02361>: every three <07969> years <08141> once <0259> came

<0935> (8799) the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> bringing

<05375> (8802) gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, ivory <08143>,

and apes <06971>, and peacocks <08500>.

2Ch 09:22 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> passed <01431>

(8799) all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> in riches

<06239> and wisdom <02451>.

2Ch 09:23 And all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> sought

<01245> (8764) the presence <06440> of Solomon <08010>, to hear

<08085> (8800) his wisdom <02451>, that God <0430> had put

<05414> (8804) in his heart <03820>.

2Ch 09:24 And they brought <0935> (8688) every man <0376> his

present <04503>, vessels <03627> of silver <03701>, and vessels

<03627> of gold <02091>, and raiment <08008>, harness <05402>,

and spices <01314>, horses <05483>, and mules <06505>, a rate

<01697> year <08141> by year <08141>.

2Ch 09:25 And Solomon <08010> had four <0702> thousand <0505>

stalls <0723> for horses <05483> and chariots <04818>, and

twelve <08147> <06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>; whom he

bestowed <03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities <05892>,

and with the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 09:26 And he reigned <04910> (8802) over all the kings

<04428> from the river <05104> even unto the land <0776> of the

Philistines <06430>, and to the border <01366> of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 09:27 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver

<03701> in Jerusalem <03389> as stones <068>, and cedar trees

<0730> made <05414> (8804) he as the sycomore trees <08256> that

are in the low plains <08219> in abundance <07230>.

2Ch 09:28 And they brought <03318> (8688) unto Solomon <08010>

horses <05483> out of Egypt <04714>, and out of all lands <0776>.

2Ch 09:29 Now the rest <07605> of the acts <01697> of Solomon

<08010>, first <07223> and last <0314>, are they not written

<03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Nathan <05416> the prophet

<05030>, and in the prophecy <05016> of Ahijah <0281> the

Shilonite <07888>, and in the visions <02378> of Iddo <03260>

the seer <02374> against Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of

Nebat <05028>?

2Ch 09:30 And Solomon <08010> reigned <04427> (8799) in

Jerusalem <03389> over all Israel <03478> forty <0705> years

<08141>.

2Ch 09:31 And Solomon <08010> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and he was buried <06912> (8799) in the city

<05892> of David <01732> his father <01>: and Rehoboam <07346>

his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 10:01 ¶ And Rehoboam <07346> went <03212> (8799) to Shechem

<07927>: for to Shechem <07927> were all Israel <03478> come

<0935> (8804) to make him king <04427> (8687).

2Ch 10:02 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam <03379> the son

<01121> of Nebat <05028>, who was in Egypt <04714>, whither he

had fled <01272> (8804) from the presence <06440> of Solomon

<08010> the king <04428>, heard <08085> (8800) it, that Jeroboam

<03379> returned <07725> (8799) out of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 10:03 And they sent <07971> (8799) and called <07121>

(8799) him. So Jeroboam <03379> and all Israel <03478> came

<0935> (8799) and spake <01696> (8762) to Rehoboam <07346>,

saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 10:04 Thy father <01> made our yoke <05923> grievous

<07185> (8689): now therefore ease <07043> (8685) thou somewhat

the grievous <07186> servitude <05656> of thy father <01>, and

his heavy <03515> yoke <05923> that he put <05414> (8804) upon

us, and we will serve <05647> (8799) thee.

2Ch 10:05 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Come again

<07725> (8798) unto me after three <07969> days <03117>. And the

people <05971> departed <03212> (8799).

2Ch 10:06 And king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> took counsel

<03289> (8735) with the old <02205> men that had stood <05975>

(8802) before <06440> Solomon <08010> his father <01> while he

yet lived <02416>, saying <0559> (8800), What <0349> counsel

give <03289> (8737) ye me to return <07725> (8687) answer

<01697> to this people <05971>?

2Ch 10:07 And they spake <01696> (8762) unto him, saying <0559>

(8800), If thou be kind <02896> to this people <05971>, and

please <07521> (8804) them, and speak <01696> (8765) good

<02896> words <01697> to them, they will be thy servants <05650>

for ever <03117>.

2Ch 10:08 But he forsook <05800> (8799) the counsel <06098>

which the old men <02205> gave <03289> (8804) him, and took

counsel <03289> (8735) with the young men <03206> that were

brought up <01431> (8804) with him, that stood <05975> (8802)

before <06440> him.

2Ch 10:09 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, What advice

<03289> (8737) give ye that we may return <07725> (8686) answer

<01697> to this people <05971>, which have spoken <01696> (8765)

to me, saying <0559> (8800), Ease <07043> (8685) somewhat the

yoke <05923> that thy father <01> did put <05414> (8804) upon us?

2Ch 10:10 And the young men <03206> that were brought up

<01431> (8804) with him spake <01696> (8762) unto him, saying

<0559> (8800), Thus shalt thou answer <0559> (8799) the people

<05971> that spake <01696> (8765) unto thee, saying <0559>

(8800), Thy father <01> made <03513> <00> our yoke <05923> heavy

<03513> (8689), but make thou it somewhat lighter <07043> (8685)

for us; thus shalt thou say <0559> (8799) unto them, My little

<06995> finger shall be thicker <05666> (8804) than my father’s

<01> loins <04975>.

2Ch 10:11 For whereas <06258> my father <01> put <06006> (8689)

a heavy <03515> yoke <05923> upon you, I will put more <03254>

(8686) to your yoke <05923>: my father <01> chastised <03256>

(8765) you with whips <07752>, but I will chastise you with

scorpions <06137>.

2Ch 10:12 ¶ So Jeroboam <03379> and all the people <05971> came

<0935> (8799) to Rehoboam <07346> on the third <07992> day

<03117>, as the king <04428> bade <01696> (8765), saying <0559>

(8800), Come again <07725> (8798) to me on the third <07992> day

<03117>.

2Ch 10:13 And the king <04428> answered <06030> (8799) them

roughly <07186>; and king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> forsook

<05800> (8799) the counsel <06098> of the old men <02205>,

2Ch 10:14 And answered <01696> (8762) them after the advice

<06098> of the young men <03206>, saying <0559> (8800), My

father <01> made your yoke <05923> heavy <03513> (8689), but I

will add <03254> (8686) thereto: my father <01> chastised

<03256> (8765) you with whips <07752>, but I will chastise you

with scorpions <06137>.

2Ch 10:15 So the king <04428> hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto

the people <05971>: for the cause <05252> was of God <0430>,

that the LORD <03068> might perform <06965> (8687) his word

<01697>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by the hand <03027> of

Ahijah <0281> the Shilonite <07888> to Jeroboam <03379> the son

<01121> of Nebat <05028>.

2Ch 10:16 And when all Israel <03478> saw <07200> (8804) that

the king <04428> would not hearken <08085> (8804) unto them, the

people <05971> answered <07725> (8686) the king <04428>, saying

<0559> (8800), What portion <02506> have we in David <01732>?

and we have none inheritance <05159> in the son <01121> of Jesse

<03448>: every man <0376> to your tents <0168>, O Israel <03478>:

and now, David <01732>, see <07200> (8798) to thine own house

<01004>. So all Israel <03478> went <03212> (8799) to their

tents <0168>.

2Ch 10:17 But as for the children <01121> of Israel <03478>

that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,

Rehoboam <07346> reigned <04427> (8799) over them.

2Ch 10:18 Then king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> sent <07971>

(8799) Hadoram <01913> that was over the tribute <04522>; and

the children <01121> of Israel <03478> stoned <07275> (8799) him

with stones <068>, that he died <04191> (8799). But king <04428>

Rehoboam <07346> made speed <0553> (8694) to get him up <05927>

(8800) to his chariot <04818>, to flee <05127> (8800) to

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 10:19 And Israel <03478> rebelled <06586> (8799) against

the house <01004> of David <01732> unto this day <03117>.

2Ch 11:01 ¶ And when Rehoboam <07346> was come <0935> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389>, he gathered <06950> (8686) of the house

<01004> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144> an hundred <03967>

and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> chosen <0977> (8803) men,

which were warriors <06213> (8802) <04421>, to fight <03898>

(8736) against Israel <03478>, that he might bring <07725> <00>

the kingdom <04467> again <07725> (8687) to Rehoboam <07346>.

2Ch 11:02 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to

Shemaiah <08098> the man <0376> of God <0430>, saying <0559>

(8800),

2Ch 11:03 Speak <0559> (8798) unto Rehoboam <07346> the son

<01121> of Solomon <08010>, king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and

to all Israel <03478> in Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>,

saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 11:04 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Ye shall

not go up <05927> (8799), nor fight <03898> (8735) against your

brethren <0251>: return <07725> (8798) every man <0376> to his

house <01004>: for this thing <01697> is done <01961> (8738) of

me. And they obeyed <08085> (8799) the words <01697> of the LORD

<03068>, and returned <07725> (8799) from going <03212> (8800)

against Jeroboam <03379>.

2Ch 11:05 And Rehoboam <07346> dwelt <03427> (8799) in

Jerusalem <03389>, and built <01129> (8799) cities <05892> for

defence <04692> in Judah <03063>.

2Ch 11:06 He built <01129> (8799) even Bethlehem <01035>, and

Etam <05862>, and Tekoa <08620>,

2Ch 11:07 And Bethzur <01049>, and Shoco <07755>, and Adullam

<05725>,

2Ch 11:08 And Gath <01661>, and Mareshah <04762>, and Ziph

<02128>,

2Ch 11:09 And Adoraim <0115>, and Lachish <03923>, and Azekah

<05825>,

2Ch 11:10 And Zorah <06881>, and Aijalon <0357>, and Hebron

<02275>, which are in Judah <03063> and in Benjamin <01144>

fenced <04694> cities <05892>.

2Ch 11:11 And he fortified <02388> (8762) the strong holds

<04694>, and put <05414> (8799) captains <05057> in them, and

store <0214> of victual <03978>, and of oil <08081> and wine

<03196>.

2Ch 11:12 And in every several city <05892> he put shields

<06793> and spears <07420>, and made them exceeding <07235>

(8687) <03966> strong <02388> (8762), having Judah <03063> and

Benjamin <01144> on his side.

2Ch 11:13 ¶ And the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> that

were in all Israel <03478> resorted <03320> (8694) to him out of

all their coasts <01366>.

2Ch 11:14 For the Levites <03881> left <05800> (8804) their

suburbs <04054> and their possession <0272>, and came <03212>

(8799) to Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>: for Jeroboam

<03379> and his sons <01121> had cast them off <02186> (8689)

from executing the priest’s office <03547> (8763) unto the LORD

<03068>:

2Ch 11:15 And he ordained <05975> (8686) him priests <03548>

for the high places <01116>, and for the devils <08163>, and for

the calves <05695> which he had made <06213> (8804).

2Ch 11:16 And after <0310> them out of all the tribes <07626>

of Israel <03478> such as set <05414> (8802) their hearts

<03824> to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

Israel <03478> came <0935> (8804) to Jerusalem <03389>, to

sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

their fathers <01>.

2Ch 11:17 So they strengthened <02388> (8762) the kingdom

<04438> of Judah <03063>, and made Rehoboam <07346> the son

<01121> of Solomon <08010> strong <0553> (8762), three <07969>

years <08141>: for three <07969> years <08141> they walked

<01980> (8804) in the way <01870> of David <01732> and Solomon

<08010>.

2Ch 11:18 And Rehoboam <07346> took <03947> (8799) him Mahalath

<04258> the daughter <01323> (8675) <01121> of Jerimoth <03406>

the son <01121> of David <01732> to wife <0802>, and Abihail

<032> the daughter <01323> of Eliab <0446> the son <01121> of

Jesse <03448>;

2Ch 11:9 Which bare <03205> (8799) him children <01121>; Jeush

<03266>, and Shamariah <08114>, and Zaham <02093>.

2Ch 11:20 And after <0310> her he took <03947> (8804) Maachah

<04601> the daughter <01323> of Absalom <053>; which bare

<03205> (8799) him Abijah <029>, and Attai <06262>, and Ziza

<02124>, and Shelomith <08019>.

2Ch 11:21 And Rehoboam <07346> loved <0157> (8799) Maachah

<04601> the daughter <01323> of Absalom <053> above all his

wives <0802> and his concubines <06370>: (for he took <05375>

(8804) eighteen <08083> <06240> wives <0802>, and threescore

<08346> concubines <06370>; and begat <03205> (8686) twenty

<06242> and eight <08083> sons <01121>, and threescore <08346>

daughters <01323>.)

2Ch 11:22 And Rehoboam <07346> made <05975> (8686) Abijah <029>

the son <01121> of Maachah <04601> the chief <07218>, to be

ruler <05057> among his brethren <0251>: for he thought to make

him king <04427> (8687).

2Ch 11:23 And he dealt wisely <0995> (8799), and dispersed

<06555> (8799) of all his children <01121> throughout all the

countries <0776> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>, unto

every fenced <04694> city <05892>: and he gave <05414> (8799)

them victual <04202> in abundance <07230>. And he desired

<07592> (8799) many <01995> wives <0802>.

2Ch 12:01 ¶ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam <07346> had

established <03559> (8687) the kingdom <04438>, and had

strengthened <02393> himself, he forsook <05800> (8804) the law

<08451> of the LORD <03068>, and all Israel <03478> with him.

2Ch 12:02 And it came to pass, that in the fifth <02549> year

<08141> of king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> Shishak <07895> king

<04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) against

Jerusalem <03389>, because they had transgressed <04603> (8804)

against the LORD <03068>,

2Ch 12:03 With twelve hundred <03967> <0505> chariots <07393>,

and threescore <08346> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>: and the

people <05971> were without number <04557> that came <0935>

(8804) with him out of Egypt <04714>; the Lubims <03864>, the

Sukkiims <05525>, and the Ethiopians <03569>.

2Ch 12:04 And he took <03920> (8799) the fenced <04694> cities

<05892> which pertained to Judah <03063>, and came <0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 12:05 Then came <0935> (8804) Shemaiah <08098> the prophet

<05030> to Rehoboam <07346>, and to the princes <08269> of Judah

<03063>, that were gathered together <0622> (8738) to Jerusalem

<03389> because <06440> of Shishak <07895>, and said <0559>

(8799) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Ye

have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and therefore have I also

<0637> left <05800> (8804) you in the hand <03027> of Shishak

<07895>.

2Ch 12:06 Whereupon the princes <08269> of Israel <03478> and

the king <04428> humbled <03665> (8735) themselves; and they

said <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> is righteous <06662>.

2Ch 12:07 And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> (8800) that

they humbled <03665> (8738) themselves, the word <01697> of the

LORD <03068> came to Shemaiah <08098>, saying <0559> (8800),

They have humbled <03665> (8738) themselves; therefore I will

not destroy <07843> (8686) them, but I will grant <05414> (8804)

them some <04592> deliverance <06413>; and my wrath <02534>

shall not be poured out <05413> (8799) upon Jerusalem <03389> by

the hand <03027> of Shishak <07895>.

2Ch 12:08 Nevertheless they shall be his servants <05650>; that

they may know <03045> (8799) my service <05656>, and the service

<05656> of the kingdoms <04467> of the countries <0776>.

2Ch 12:09 So Shishak <07895> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> came

up <05927> (8799) against Jerusalem <03389>, and took away

<03947> (8799) the treasures <0214> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, and the treasures <0214> of the king’s <04428>

house <01004>; he took <03947> (8804) all: he carried away

<03947> (8799) also the shields <04043> of gold <02091> which

Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804).

2Ch 12:10 Instead of which king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> made

<06213> (8799) shields <04043> of brass <05178>, and committed

<06485> (8689) them to the hands <03027> of the chief <08269> of

the guard <07323> (8801), that kept <08104> (8802) the entrance

<06607> of the king’s <04428> house <01004>.

2Ch 12:11 And when <01767> the king <04428> entered <0935>

(8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, the guard

<07323> (8801) came <0935> (8804) and fetched <05375> (8804)

them, and brought them again <07725> (8689) into the guard

<07323> (8801) chamber <08372>.

2Ch 12:12 And when he humbled <03665> (8736) himself, the wrath

<0639> of the LORD <03068> turned <07725> (8804) from him, that

he would not destroy <07843> (8687) him altogether <03617>: and

also in Judah <03063> things <01697> went well <02896>.

2Ch 12:13 ¶ So king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> strengthened

<02388> (8691) himself in Jerusalem <03389>, and reigned <04427>

(8799): for Rehoboam <07346> was one <0259> and forty <0705>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) seventeen <07651> <06240> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>, the city <05892> which the LORD

<03068> had chosen <0977> (8804) out of all the tribes <07626>

of Israel <03478>, to put <07760> (8800) his name <08034> there.

And his mother’s <0517> name <08034> was Naamah <05279> an

Ammonitess <05985>.

2Ch 12:14 And he did <06213> (8799) evil <07451>, because he

prepared <03559> (8689) not his heart <03820> to seek <01875>

(8800) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 12:15 Now the acts <01697> of Rehoboam <07346>, first

<07223> and last <0314>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in

the book <01697> of Shemaiah <08098> the prophet <05030>, and of

Iddo <05714> the seer <02374> concerning genealogies <03187>

(8692)? And there were wars <04421> between Rehoboam <07346> and

Jeroboam <03379> continually <03117>.

2Ch 12:16 And Rehoboam <07346> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) in the city <05892>

of David <01732>: and Abijah <029> his son <01121> reigned

<04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 13:01 ¶ Now in the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141>

of king <04428> Jeroboam <03379> began Abijah <029> to reign

<04427> (8799) over Judah <03063>.

2Ch 13:02 He reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> years <08141>

in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name <08034> also was

Michaiah <04322> the daughter <01323> of Uriel <0222> of Gibeah

<01390>. And there was war <04421> between Abijah <029> and

Jeroboam <03379>.

2Ch 13:03 And Abijah <029> set <0631> <00> the battle <04421>

in array <0631> (8799) with an army <02428> of valiant men

<01368> of war <04421>, even four <0702> hundred <03967>

thousand <0505> chosen <0977> (8803) men <0376>: Jeroboam

<03379> also set the battle <04421> in array <06186> (8804)

against him with eight <08083> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>

chosen <0977> (8803) men <0376>, being mighty men <01368> of

valour <02428>.

2Ch 13:04 And Abijah <029> stood up <06965> (8799) upon mount

<02022> Zemaraim <06787>, which is in mount <02022> Ephraim

<0669>, and said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798) me, thou

Jeroboam <03379>, and all Israel <03478>;

2Ch 13:05 Ought ye not to know <03045> (8800) that the LORD

<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> gave <05414> (8804) the

kingdom <04467> over Israel <03478> to David <01732> for ever

<05769>, even to him and to his sons <01121> by a covenant

<01285> of salt <04417>?

2Ch 13:06 Yet Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>,

the servant <05650> of Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David

<01732>, is risen up <06965> (8799), and hath rebelled <04775>

(8799) against his lord <0113>.

2Ch 13:07 And there are gathered <06908> (8735) unto him vain

<07386> men <0582>, the children <01121> of Belial <01100>, and

have strengthened <0553> (8691) themselves against Rehoboam

<07346> the son <01121> of Solomon <08010>, when Rehoboam

<07346> was young <05288> and tenderhearted <07390> <03824>, and

could not withstand <02388> (8694) them <06440>.

2Ch 13:08 And now ye think <0559> (8802) to withstand <02388>

(8692) the kingdom <06440> <04467> of the LORD <03068> in the

hand <03027> of the sons <01121> of David <01732>; and ye be a

great <07227> multitude <01995>, and there are with you golden

<02091> calves <05695>, which Jeroboam <03379> made <06213>

(8804) you for gods <0430>.

2Ch 13:09 Have ye not cast out <05080> (8689) the priests

<03548> of the LORD <03068>, the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>,

and the Levites <03881>, and have made <06213> (8799) you

priests <03548> after the manner of the nations <05971> of other

lands <0776>? so that whosoever cometh <0935> (8802) to

consecrate <04390> (8763) <03027> himself with a young <01121>

<01241> bullock <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>, the same

may be a priest <03548> of them that are no <03808> gods <0430>.

2Ch 13:10 But as for us, the LORD <03068> is our God <0430>,

and we have not forsaken <05800> (8804) him; and the priests

<03548>, which minister <08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068>,

are the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>, and the Levites <03881>

wait upon their business <04399>:

2Ch 13:11 And they burn <06999> (8688) unto the LORD <03068>

every morning <01242> and every evening <06153> burnt sacrifices

<05930> and sweet <05561> incense <07004>: the shewbread <03899>

<04635> also set they in order upon the pure <02889> table

<07979>; and the candlestick <04501> of gold <02091> with the

lamps <05216> thereof, to burn <01197> (8763) every evening

<06153>: for we keep <08104> (8802) the charge <04931> of the

LORD <03068> our God <0430>; but ye have forsaken <05800> (8804)

him.

2Ch 13:12 And, behold, God <0430> himself is with us for our

captain <07218>, and his priests <03548> with sounding <08643>

trumpets <02689> to cry alarm <07321> (8687) against you. O

children <01121> of Israel <03478>, fight <03898> (8735) ye not

against the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>; for ye

shall not prosper <06743> (8686).

2Ch 13:13 ¶ But Jeroboam <03379> caused an ambushment <03993> to

come <0935> (8800) about <05437> (8689) behind <0310> them: so

they were before <06440> Judah <03063>, and the ambushment

<03993> was behind <0310> them.

2Ch 13:14 And when Judah <03063> looked back <06437> (8799),

behold, the battle <04421> was before <06440> and behind <0268>:

and they cried <06817> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and the

priests <03548> sounded <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)

with the trumpets <02689>.

2Ch 13:15 Then the men <0376> of Judah <03063> gave a shout

<07321> (8686): and as the men <0376> of Judah <03063> shouted

<07321> (8687), it came to pass, that God <0430> smote <05062>

(8804) Jeroboam <03379> and all Israel <03478> before <06440>

Abijah <029> and Judah <03063>.

2Ch 13:16 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> fled

<05127> (8799) before <06440> Judah <03063>: and God <0430>

delivered <05414> (8799) them into their hand <03027>.

2Ch 13:17 And Abijah <029> and his people <05971> slew <05221>

(8686) them with a great <07227> slaughter <04347>: so there

fell down <05307> (8799) slain <02491> of Israel <03478> five

<02568> hundred <03967> thousand <0505> chosen <0977> (8803) men

<0376>.

2Ch 13:18 Thus the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were

brought <03665> (8735) under at that time <06256>, and the

children <01121> of Judah <03063> prevailed <0553> (8799),

because they relied <08172> (8738) upon the LORD <03068> God

<0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 13:19 And Abijah <029> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310>

Jeroboam <03379>, and took <03920> (8799) cities <05892> from

him, Bethel <01008> with the towns <01323> thereof, and Jeshanah

<03466> with the towns <01323> thereof, and Ephrain <06085> with

the towns <01323> thereof.

2Ch 13:20 Neither did Jeroboam <03379> recover <06113> (8804)

strength <03581> again in the days <03117> of Abijah <029>: and

the LORD <03068> struck <05062> (8799) him, and he died <04191>

(8799).

2Ch 13:21 But Abijah <029> waxed mighty <02388> (8691), and

married <05375> (8799) fourteen <0702> <06240> wives <0802>, and

begat <03205> (8686) twenty <06242> and two <08147> sons <01121>,

and sixteen <08337> <06240> daughters <01323>.

2Ch 13:22 And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Abijah

<029>, and his ways <01870>, and his sayings <01697>, are

written <03789> (8803) in the story <04097> of the prophet

<05030> Iddo <05714>.

2Ch 14:01 ¶ So Abijah <029> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city

<05892> of David <01732>: and Asa <0609> his son <01121> reigned

<04427> (8799) in his stead. In his days <03117> the land <0776>

was quiet <08252> (8804) ten <06235> years <08141>.

2Ch 14:02 And Asa <0609> did <06213> (8799) that which was good

<02896> and right <03477> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD

<03068> his God <0430>:

2Ch 14:03 For he took away <05493> (8686) the altars <04196> of

the strange <05236> gods, and the high places <01116>, and brake

down <07665> (8762) the images <04676>, and cut down <01438>

(8762) the groves <0842>:

2Ch 14:04 And commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> to seek

<01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>,

and to do <06213> (8800) the law <08451> and the commandment

<04687>.

2Ch 14:05 Also he took away <05493> (8686) out of all the

cities <05892> of Judah <03063> the high places <01116> and the

images <02553>: and the kingdom <04467> was quiet <08252> (8799)

before <06440> him.

2Ch 14:06 And he built <01129> (8799) fenced <04694> cities

<05892> in Judah <03063>: for the land <0776> had rest <08252>

(8804), and he had no war <04421> in those years <08141>;

because the LORD <03068> had given him rest <05117> (8689).

2Ch 14:07 Therefore he said <0559> (8799) unto Judah <03063>,

Let us build <01129> (8799) these cities <05892>, and make about

<05437> (8686) them walls <02346>, and towers <04026>, gates

<01817>, and bars <01280>, while the land <0776> is yet before

<06440> us; because we have sought <01875> (8804) the LORD

<03068> our God <0430>, we have sought <01875> (8804) him, and

he hath given us rest <05117> (8799) on every side <05439>. So

they built <01129> (8799) and prospered <06743> (8686).

2Ch 14:08 And Asa <0609> had an army <02428> of men that bare

<05375> (8802) targets <06793> and spears <07420>, out of Judah

<03063> three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>; and out

of Benjamin <01144>, that bare <05375> (8802) shields <04043>

and drew <01869> (8802) bows <07198>, two hundred <03967> and

fourscore <08084> thousand <0505>: all these were mighty men

<01368> of valour <02428>.

2Ch 14:09 ¶ And there came out <03318> (8799) against them Zerah

<02226> the Ethiopian <03569> with an host <02428> of a thousand

<0505> thousand <0505>, and three <07969> hundred <03967>

chariots <04818>; and came <0935> (8799) unto Mareshah <04762>.

2Ch 14:10 Then Asa <0609> went out <03318> (8799) against

<06440> him, and they set the battle <04421> in array <06186>

(8799) in the valley <01516> of Zephathah <06859> at Mareshah

<04762>.

2Ch 14:11 And Asa <0609> cried <07121> (8799) unto the LORD

<03068> his God <0430>, and said <0559> (8799), LORD <03068>, it

is nothing with thee to help <05826> (8800), whether <0996> with

many <07227>, or with them that have no power <03581>: help

<05826> (8798) us, O LORD <03068> our God <0430>; for we rest

<08172> (8738) on thee, and in thy name <08034> we go <0935>

(8804) against this multitude <01995>. O LORD <03068>, thou art

our God <0430>; let not man <0582> prevail <06113> (8799)

against thee.

2Ch 14:12 So the LORD <03068> smote <05062> (8799) the

Ethiopians <03569> before <06440> Asa <0609>, and before <06440>

Judah <03063>; and the Ethiopians <03569> fled <05127> (8799).

2Ch 14:13 And Asa <0609> and the people <05971> that were with

him pursued <07291> (8799) them unto Gerar <01642>: and the

Ethiopians <03569> were overthrown <05307> (8799), that they

could not recover <04241> themselves; for they were destroyed

<07665> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and before

<06440> his host <04264>; and they carried away <05375> (8799)

very <03966> much <07235> (8687) spoil <07998>.

2Ch 14:14 And they smote <05221> (8686) all the cities <05892>

round about <05439> Gerar <01642>; for the fear <06343> of the

LORD <03068> came upon them: and they spoiled <0962> (8799) all

the cities <05892>; for there was exceeding much <07227> spoil

<0961> in them.

2Ch 14:15 They smote <05221> (8689) also the tents <0168> of

cattle <04735>, and carried away <07617> (8799) sheep <06629>

and camels <01581> in abundance <07230>, and returned <07725>

(8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 15:01 ¶ And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came upon

Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Oded <05752>:

2Ch 15:02 And he went out <03318> (8799) to meet <06440> Asa

<0609>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Hear <08085> (8798) ye

me, Asa <0609>, and all Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>; The

LORD <03068> is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek

<01875> (8799) him, he will be found <04672> (8735) of you; but

if ye forsake <05800> (8799) him, he will forsake <05800> (8799)

you.

2Ch 15:03 Now for a long <07227> season <03117> Israel <03478>

hath been without <03808> the true <0571> God <0430>, and

without a teaching <03384> (8688) priest <03548>, and without

law <08451>.

2Ch 15:04 But when they in their trouble <06862> did turn

<07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>, and sought <01245> (8762) him, he was found <04672>

(8735) of them.

2Ch 15:05 And in those times <06256> there was no peace <07965>

to him that went out <03318> (8802), nor to him that came in

<0935> (8802), but great <07227> vexations <04103> were upon all

the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the countries <0776>.

2Ch 15:06 And nation <01471> was destroyed <03807> (8795) of

nation <01471>, and city <05892> of city <05892>: for God <0430>

did vex <02000> (8804) them with all adversity <06869>.

2Ch 15:07 Be ye strong <02388> (8798) therefore, and let not

your hands <03027> be weak <07503> (8799): for your work <06468>

shall be <03426> rewarded <07939>.

2Ch 15:08 ¶ And when Asa <0609> heard <08085> (8800) these words

<01697>, and the prophecy <05016> of Oded <05752> the prophet

<05030>, he took courage <02388> (8694), and put away <05674>

(8686) the abominable idols <08251> out of all the land <0776>

of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>, and out of the cities

<05892> which he had taken <03920> (8804) from mount <02022>

Ephraim <0669>, and renewed <02318> (8762) the altar <04196> of

the LORD <03068>, that was before <06440> the porch <0197> of

the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 15:09 And he gathered <06908> (8799) all Judah <03063> and

Benjamin <01144>, and the strangers <01481> (8802) with them out

of Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519>, and out of Simeon

<08095>: for they fell <05307> (8804) to him out of Israel

<03478> in abundance <07230>, when they saw <07200> (8800) that

the LORD <03068> his God <0430> was with him.

2Ch 15:10 So they gathered themselves together <06908> (8735)

at Jerusalem <03389> in the third <07992> month <02320>, in the

fifteenth <02568> <06240> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of

Asa <0609>.

2Ch 15:11 And they offered <02076> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>

the same time <03117>, of the spoil <07998> which they had

brought <0935> (8689), seven <07651> hundred <03967> oxen

<01241> and seven <07651> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>.

2Ch 15:12 And they entered <0935> (8799) into a covenant

<01285> to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

their fathers <01> with all their heart <03824> and with all

their soul <05315>;

2Ch 15:13 That whosoever would not seek <01875> (8799) the LORD

<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> should be put to death

<04191> (8714), whether <04480> small <06996> or great <01419>,

whether man <0376> or woman <0802>.

2Ch 15:14 And they sware <07650> (8735) unto the LORD <03068>

with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, and with shouting <08643>,

and with trumpets <02689>, and with cornets <07782>.

2Ch 15:15 And all Judah <03063> rejoiced <08055> (8799) at the

oath <07621>: for they had sworn <07650> (8738) with all their

heart <03824>, and sought <01245> (8765) him with their whole

desire <07522>; and he was found <04672> (8735) of them: and the

LORD <03068> gave them rest <05117> (8799) round about <05439>.

2Ch 15:16 And also concerning Maachah <04601> the mother <0517>

of Asa <0609> the king <04428>, he removed <05493> (8689) her

from being queen <01377>, because she had made <06213> (8804) an

idol <04656> in a grove <0842>: and Asa <0609> cut down <03772>

(8799) her idol <04656>, and stamped <01854> (8686) it, and

burnt <08313> (8799) it at the brook <05158> Kidron <06939>.

2Ch 15:17 But the high places <01116> were not taken away

<05493> (8804) out of Israel <03478>: nevertheless the heart

<03824> of Asa <0609> was perfect <08003> all his days <03117>.

2Ch 15:18 And he brought <0935> (8686) into the house <01004>

of God <0430> the things that his father <01> had dedicated

<06944>, and that he himself had dedicated <06944>, silver

<03701>, and gold <02091>, and vessels <03627>.

2Ch 15:19 And there was no more war <04421> unto the five

<02568> and thirtieth <07970> year <08141> of the reign <04438>

of Asa <0609>.

2Ch 16:01 ¶ In the six <08337> and thirtieth <07970> year

<08141> of the reign <04438> of Asa <0609> Baasha <01201> king

<04428> of Israel <03478> came up <05927> (8804) against Judah

<03063>, and built <01129> (8799) Ramah <07414>, to the intent

that <01115> he might let <05414> (8800) none go out <03318>

(8802) or come in <0935> (8802) to Asa <0609> king <04428> of

Judah <03063>.

2Ch 16:02 Then Asa <0609> brought out <03318> (8686) silver

<03701> and gold <02091> out of the treasures <0214> of the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068> and of the king’s <04428>

house <01004>, and sent <07971> (8799) to Benhadad <01130> king

<04428> of Syria <0758>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) at Damascus

<01834>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 16:03 There is a league <01285> between me and thee, as

there was between my father <01> and thy father <01>: behold, I

have sent <07971> (8804) thee silver <03701> and gold <02091>;

go <03212> (8798), break <06565> (8685) thy league <01285> with

Baasha <01201> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, that he may

depart <05927> (8799) from me.

2Ch 16:04 And Benhadad <01130> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto

king <04428> Asa <0609>, and sent <07971> (8799) the captains

<08269> of his armies <02428> against the cities <05892> of

Israel <03478>; and they smote <05221> (8686) Ijon <05859>, and

Dan <01835>, and Abelmaim <066>, and all the store <04543>

cities <05892> of Naphtali <05321>.

2Ch 16:05 And it came to pass, when Baasha <01201> heard

<08085> (8800) it, that he left off <02308> (8799) building

<01129> (8800) of Ramah <07414>, and let his work <04399> cease

<07673> (8686).

2Ch 16:06 Then Asa <0609> the king <04428> took <03947> (8804)

all Judah <03063>; and they carried away <05375> (8799) the

stones <068> of Ramah <07414>, and the timber <06086> thereof,

wherewith Baasha <01201> was building <01129> (8804); and he

built <01129> (8799) therewith Geba <01387> and Mizpah <04709>.

2Ch 16:07 ¶ And at that time <06256> Hanani <02607> the seer

<07200> (8802) came <0935> (8804) to Asa <0609> king <04428> of

Judah <03063>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Because thou

hast relied <08172> (8736) on the king <04428> of Syria <0758>,

and not relied <08172> (8738) on the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>,

therefore is the host <02428> of the king <04428> of Syria

<0758> escaped <04422> (8738) out of thine hand <03027>.

2Ch 16:08 Were not the Ethiopians <03569> and the Lubims

<03864> a huge <07230> host <02428>, with very <03966> many

<07235> (8687) chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571>? yet,

because thou didst rely <08172> (8736) on the LORD <03068>, he

delivered <05414> (8804) them into thine hand <03027>.

2Ch 16:09 For the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068> run to and

fro <07751> (8789) throughout the whole earth <0776>, to shew

himself strong <02388> (8692) in the behalf of them whose heart

<03824> is perfect <08003> toward him. Herein thou hast done

foolishly <05528> (8738): therefore from henceforth <06258> thou

shalt have <03426> wars <04421>.

2Ch 16:10 Then Asa <0609> was wroth <03707> (8799) with the

seer <07200> (8802), and put <05414> (8799) him in a prison

<04115> house <01004>; for he was in a rage <02197> with him

because of this thing. And Asa <0609> oppressed <07533> (8762)

some of the people <05971> the same time <06256>.

2Ch 16:11 And, behold, the acts <01697> of Asa <0609>, first

<07223> and last <0314>, lo, they are written <03789> (8803) in

the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063> and

Israel <03478>.

2Ch 16:12 And Asa <0609> in the thirty <07970> and ninth

<08672> year <08141> of his reign <04438> was diseased <02456>

(8799) in his feet <07272>, until his disease <02483> was

exceeding <04605> great: yet in his disease <02483> he sought

<01875> (8804) not to the LORD <03068>, but to the physicians

<07495> (8802).

2Ch 16:13 And Asa <0609> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers

<01>, and died <04191> (8799) in the one <0259> and fortieth

<0705> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800).

2Ch 16:14 And they buried <06912> (8799) him in his own

sepulchres <06913>, which he had made <03738> (8804) for himself

in the city <05892> of David <01732>, and laid <07901> (8686)

him in the bed <04904> which was filled <04390> (8765) with

sweet odours <01314> and divers kinds <02177> of spices prepared

<07543> (8794) by the apothecaries <04842>‘ art <04639>: and

they made <08313> (8799) a very <03966> great <01419> burning

<08316> for him.

2Ch 17:01 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> his son <01121> reigned

<04427> (8799) in his stead, and strengthened <02388> (8691)

himself against Israel <03478>.

2Ch 17:02 And he placed <05414> (8799) forces <02428> in all

the fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and

set <05414> (8799) garrisons <05333> in the land <0776> of Judah

<03063>, and in the cities <05892> of Ephraim <0669>, which Asa

<0609> his father <01> had taken <03920> (8804).

2Ch 17:03 And the LORD <03068> was with Jehoshaphat <03092>,

because he walked <01980> (8804) in the first <07223> ways

<01870> of his father <01> David <01732>, and sought <01875>

(8804) not unto Baalim <01168>;

2Ch 17:04 But sought <01875> (8804) to the LORD God <0430> of

his father <01>, and walked <01980> (8804) in his commandments

<04687>, and not after the doings <04639> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 17:05 Therefore the LORD <03068> stablished <03559> (8686)

the kingdom <04467> in his hand <03027>; and all Judah <03063>

brought <05414> (8799) to Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>;

and he had riches <06239> and honour <03519> in abundance

<07230>.

2Ch 17:06 And his heart <03820> was lifted up <01361> (8799) in

the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068>: moreover he took away

<05493> (8689) the high places <01116> and groves <0842> out of

Judah <03063>.

2Ch 17:07 Also in the third <07969> year <08141> of his reign

<04427> (8800) he sent <07971> (8804) to his princes <08269>,

even to Benhail <01134>, and to Obadiah <05662>, and to

Zechariah <02148>, and to Nethaneel <05417>, and to Michaiah

<04322>, to teach <03925> (8763) in the cities <05892> of Judah

<03063>.

2Ch 17:08 And with them he sent Levites <03881>, even Shemaiah

<08098>, and Nethaniah <05418>, and Zebadiah <02069>, and Asahel

<06214>, and Shemiramoth <08070>, and Jehonathan <03083>, and

Adonijah <0138>, and Tobijah <02900>, and Tobadonijah <02899>,

Levites <03881>; and with them Elishama <0476> and Jehoram

<03088>, priests <03548>.

2Ch 17:09 And they taught <03925> (8762) in Judah <03063>, and

had the book <05612> of the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> with

them, and went about <05437> (8799) throughout all the cities

<05892> of Judah <03063>, and taught <03925> (8762) the people

<05971>.

2Ch 17:10 ¶ And the fear <06343> of the LORD <03068> fell upon

all the kingdoms <04467> of the lands <0776> that were round

about <05439> Judah <03063>, so that they made no war <03898>

(8738) against Jehoshaphat <03092>.

2Ch 17:11 Also some of the Philistines <06430> brought <0935>

(8688) Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>, and tribute <04853>

silver <03701>; and the Arabians <06163> brought <0935> (8688)

him flocks <06629>, seven <07651> thousand <0505> and seven

<07651> hundred <03967> rams <0352>, and seven <07651> thousand

<0505> and seven <07651> hundred <03967> he goats <08495>.

2Ch 17:12 And Jehoshaphat <03092> waxed <01980> (8802) great

<01432> exceedingly <04605>; and he built <01129> (8799) in

Judah <03063> castles <01003>, and cities <05892> of store

<04543>.

2Ch 17:13 And he had much <07227> business <04399> in the

cities <05892> of Judah <03063>: and the men <0582> of war

<04421>, mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>, were in Jerusalem

<03389>.

2Ch 17:14 And these are the numbers <06486> of them according

to the house <01004> of their fathers <01>: Of Judah <03063>,

the captains <08269> of thousands <0505>; Adnah <05734> the

chief <08269>, and with him mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>

three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 17:15 And next <03027> to him was Jehohanan <03076> the

captain <08269>, and with him two hundred <03967> and fourscore

<08084> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 17:16 And next <03027> him was Amasiah <06007> the son

<01121> of Zichri <02147>, who willingly offered <05068> (8693)

himself unto the LORD <03068>; and with him two hundred <03967>

thousand <0505> mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>.

2Ch 17:17 And of Benjamin <01144>; Eliada <0450> a mighty man

<01368> of valour <02428>, and with him armed men <05401> (8802)

with bow <07198> and shield <04043> two hundred <03967> thousand

<0505>.

2Ch 17:18 And next <03027> him was Jehozabad <03075>, and with

him an hundred <03967> and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505>

ready prepared <02502> (8803) for the war <06635>.

2Ch 17:19 These waited <08334> (8764) on the king <04428>,

beside those whom the king <04428> put <05414> (8804) in the

fenced <04013> cities <05892> throughout all Judah <03063>.

2Ch 18:01 ¶ Now Jehoshaphat <03092> had riches <06239> and

honour <03519> in abundance <07230>, and joined affinity <02859>

(8691) with Ahab <0256>.

2Ch 18:02 And after <07093> certain years <08141> he went down

<03381> (8799) to Ahab <0256> to Samaria <08111>. And Ahab

<0256> killed <02076> (8799) sheep <06629> and oxen <01241> for

him in abundance <07230>, and for the people <05971> that he had

with him, and persuaded <05496> (8686) him to go up <05927>

(8800) with him to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.

2Ch 18:03 And Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478> said

<0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Judah

<03063>, Wilt thou go <03212> (8799) with me to Ramothgilead

<07433> <01568>? And he answered <0559> (8799) him, I am as thou

art, and my people <05971> as thy people <05971>; and we will be

with thee in the war <04421>.

2Ch 18:04 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799) unto the

king <04428> of Israel <03478>, Enquire <01875> (8798), I pray

thee, at the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to day <03117>.

2Ch 18:05 Therefore the king <04428> of Israel <03478> gathered

together <06908> (8799) of prophets <05030> four <0702> hundred

<03967> men <0376>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Shall we

go <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568> to battle

<04421>, or shall I forbear <02308> (8799)? And they said <0559>

(8799), Go up <05927> (8798); for God <0430> will deliver

<05414> (8799) it into the king’s <04428> hand <03027>.

2Ch 18:06 But Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Is there

not here a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068> besides, that we

might enquire <01875> (8799) of him?

2Ch 18:07 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>

(8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, There is yet one <0259> man

<0376>, by whom we may enquire <01875> (8800) of the LORD

<03068>: but I hate <08130> (8804) him; for he never prophesied

<05012> (8693) good <02896> unto me, but always <03117> evil

<07451>: the same is Micaiah <04321> the son <01121> of Imla

<03229>. And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Let not the

king <04428> say <0559> (8799) so.

2Ch 18:08 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> called <07121>

(8799) for one <0259> of his officers <05631>, and said <0559>

(8799), Fetch quickly <04116> (8761) Micaiah <04319> the son

<01121> of Imla <03229>.

2Ch 18:09 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and

Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Judah <03063> sat <03427>

(8802) either <0376> of them on his throne <03678>, clothed

<03847> (8794) in their robes <0899>, and they sat <03427>

(8802) in a void place <01637> at the entering in <06607> of the

gate <08179> of Samaria <08111>; and all the prophets <05030>

prophesied <05012> (8693) before <06440> them.

2Ch 18:10 And Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah

<03668> had made <06213> (8799) him horns <07161> of iron

<01270>, and said <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the

LORD <03068>, With these thou shalt push <05055> (8762) Syria

<0758> until they be consumed <03615> (8763).

2Ch 18:11 And all the prophets <05030> prophesied <05012>

(8737) so, saying <0559> (8800), Go up <05927> (8798) to

Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>, and prosper <06743> (8685): for

the LORD <03068> shall deliver <05414> (8804) it into the hand

<03027> of the king <04428>.

2Ch 18:12 And the messenger <04397> that went <01980> (8804) to

call <07121> (8800) Micaiah <04321> spake <01696> (8765) to him,

saying <0559> (8800), Behold, the words <01697> of the prophets

<05030> declare good <02896> to the king <04428> with one <0259>

assent <06310>; let thy word <01697> therefore, I pray thee, be

like one <0259> of theirs, and speak <01696> (8765) thou good

<02896>.

2Ch 18:13 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), As the LORD

<03068> liveth <02416>, even what my God <0430> saith <0559>

(8799), that will I speak <01696> (8762).

2Ch 18:14 And when he was come <0935> (8799) to the king

<04428>, the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Micaiah

<04318>, shall we go <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433>

<01568> to battle <04421>, or shall I forbear <02308> (8799)?

And he said <0559> (8799), Go ye up <05927> (8798), and prosper

<06743> (8685), and they shall be delivered <05414> (8735) into

your hand <03027>.

2Ch 18:15 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) to him, How

many times <06471> shall I adjure <07650> (8688) thee that thou

say <01696> (8762) nothing but the truth <0571> to me in the

name <08034> of the LORD <03068>?

2Ch 18:16 Then he said <0559> (8799), I did see <07200> (8804)

all Israel <03478> scattered <06327> (8737) upon the mountains

<02022>, as sheep <06629> that have no shepherd <07462> (8802):

and the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), These have no master

<0113>; let them return <07725> (8799) therefore every man

<0376> to his house <01004> in peace <07965>.

2Ch 18:17 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>

(8799) to Jehoshaphat <03092>, Did I not tell <0559> (8804) thee

that he would not prophesy <05012> (8691) good <02896> unto me,

but evil <07451>?

2Ch 18:18 Again he said <0559> (8799), Therefore hear <08085>

(8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; I saw <07200>

(8804) the LORD <03068> sitting <03427> (8802) upon his throne

<03678>, and all the host <06635> of heaven <08064> standing

<05975> (8802) on his right hand <03225> and on his left <08040>.

2Ch 18:19 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Who shall

entice <06601> (8762) Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478>,

that he may go up <05927> (8799) and fall <05307> (8799) at

Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>? And one spake <0559> (8799) saying

<0559> (8802) after this manner <03602>, and another saying

<0559> (8802) after that manner <03602>.

2Ch 18:20 Then there came out <03318> (8799) a spirit <07307>,

and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and

said <0559> (8799), I will entice <06601> (8762) him. And the

LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Wherewith?

2Ch 18:21 And he said <0559> (8799), I will go out <03318>

(8799), and be a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth

<06310> of all his prophets <05030>. And the LORD said <0559>

(8799), Thou shalt entice <06601> (8762) him, and thou shalt

also prevail <03201> (8799): go out <03318> (8798), and do

<06213> (8798) even so.

2Ch 18:22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD <03068> hath put

<05414> (8804) a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth

<06310> of these thy prophets <05030>, and the LORD <03068> hath

spoken <01696> (8765) evil <07451> against thee.

2Ch 18:23 Then Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah

<03668> came near <05066> (8799), and smote <05221> (8686)

Micaiah <04321> upon the cheek <03895>, and said <0559> (8799),

Which <0335> way <01870> went <05674> (8804) the Spirit <07307>

of the LORD <03068> from me to speak <01696> (8763) unto thee?

2Ch 18:24 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), Behold, thou

shalt see <07200> (8802) on that day <03117> when thou shalt go

<0935> (8799) into an inner <02315> chamber <02315> to hide

<02244> (8736) thyself.

2Ch 18:25 Then the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>

(8799), Take <03947> (8798) ye Micaiah <04321>, and carry him

back <07725> (8685) to Amon <0526> the governor <08269> of the

city <05892>, and to Joash <03101> the king’s <04428> son

<01121>;

2Ch 18:26 And say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the

king <04428>, Put <07760> (8798) this fellow in the prison

<01004> <03608>, and feed <0398> (8685) him with bread <03899>

of affliction <03906> and with water <04325> of affliction

<03906>, until I return <07725> (8800) in peace <07965>.

2Ch 18:27 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), If thou

certainly <07725> (8800) return <07725> (8799) in peace <07965>,

then hath not the LORD <03068> spoken <01696> (8765) by me. And

he said <0559> (8799), Hearken <08085> (8798), all ye people

<05971>.

2Ch 18:28 ¶ So the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and

Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> went up

<05927> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.

2Ch 18:29 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>

(8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, I will disguise <02664> (8692)

myself, and will go <0935> (8800) to the battle <04421>; but put

<03847> (8798) thou on thy robes <0899>. So the king <04428> of

Israel <03478> disguised <02664> (8691) himself; and they went

<0935> (8799) to the battle <04421>.

2Ch 18:30 Now the king <04428> of Syria <0758> had commanded

<06680> (8765) the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393> that

were with him, saying <0559> (8800), Fight <03898> (8735) ye not

with small <06996> or great <01419>, save only with the king

<04428> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains <08269> of the

chariots <07393> saw <07200> (8800) Jehoshaphat <03092>, that

they said <0559> (8804), It is the king <04428> of Israel

<03478>. Therefore they compassed about <05437> (8799) him to

fight <03898> (8736): but Jehoshaphat <03092> cried out <02199>

(8799), and the LORD <03068> helped <05826> (8804) him; and God

<0430> moved <05496> (8686) them to depart from him.

2Ch 18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains <08269>

of the chariots <07393> perceived <07200> (8800) that it was not

the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, they turned back again

<07725> (8799) from pursuing <0310> him.

2Ch 18:33 And a certain man drew <04900> (8804) a bow <07198>

at a venture <08537>, and smote <05221> (8686) the king <04428>

of Israel <03478> between the joints <01694> of the harness

<08302>: therefore he said <0559> (8799) to his chariot <07395>

man <0376>, Turn <02015> (8798) thine hand <03027>, that thou

mayest carry me out <03318> (8689) of the host <04264>; for I am

wounded <02470> (8717).

2Ch 18:34 And the battle <04421> increased <05927> (8799) that

day <03117>: howbeit the king <04428> of Israel <03478> stayed

himself up <05975> (8689) in his chariot <04818> against <05227>

the Syrians <0758> until the even <06153>: and about the time

<06256> of the sun <08121> going down <0935> (8800) he died

<04191> (8799).

2Ch 19:01 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah

<03063> returned <07725> (8799) to his house <01004> in peace

<07965> to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 19:02 And Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Hanani <02607>

the seer <02374> went out <03318> (8799) to meet <06440> him,

and said <0559> (8799) to king <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092>,

Shouldest thou help <05826> (8800) the ungodly <07563>, and love

<0157> (8799) them that hate <08130> (8802) the LORD <03068>?

therefore <02063> is wrath <07110> upon thee from before <06440>

the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 19:03 Nevertheless <061> there are good <02896> things

<01697> found <04672> (8738) in thee, in that thou hast taken

away <01197> (8765) the groves <0842> out of the land <0776>,

and hast prepared <03559> (8689) thine heart <03824> to seek

<01875> (8800) God <0430>.

2Ch 19:04 And Jehoshaphat <03092> dwelt <03427> (8799) at

Jerusalem <03389>: and he went out <03318> (8799) again <07725>

(8799) through the people <05971> from Beersheba <0884> to mount

<02022> Ephraim <0669>, and brought them back <07725> (8686)

unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 19:05 ¶ And he set <05975> (8686) judges <08199> (8802) in

the land <0776> throughout all the fenced <01219> (8803) cities

<05892> of Judah <03063>, city <05892> by city <05892>,

2Ch 19:06 And said <0559> (8799) to the judges <08199> (8802),

Take heed <07200> (8798) what ye do <06213> (8802): for ye judge

<08199> (8799) not for man <0120>, but for the LORD <03068>, who

is with you in the judgment <01697> <04941>.

2Ch 19:07 Wherefore now let the fear <06343> of the LORD

<03068> be upon you; take heed <08104> (8798) and do <06213>

(8798) it: for there is no iniquity <05766> with the LORD

<03068> our God <0430>, nor respect <04856> of persons <06440>,

nor taking <04727> of gifts <07810>.

2Ch 19:08 Moreover in Jerusalem <03389> did Jehoshaphat <03092>

set <05975> (8689) of the Levites <03881>, and of the priests

<03548>, and of the chief <07218> of the fathers <01> of Israel

<03478>, for the judgment <04941> of the LORD <03068>, and for

controversies <07379>, when they returned <07725> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 19:09 And he charged <06680> (8762) them, saying <0559>

(8800), Thus shall ye do <06213> (8799) in the fear <03374> of

the LORD <03068>, faithfully <0530>, and with a perfect <08003>

heart <03824>.

2Ch 19:10 And what cause <07379> soever shall come <0935>

(8799) to you of your brethren <0251> that dwell <03427> (8802)

in their cities <05892>, between blood <01818> and blood <01818>,

between law <08451> and commandment <04687>, statutes <02706>

and judgments <04941>, ye shall even warn <02094> (8689) them

that they trespass <0816> (8799) not against the LORD <03068>,

and so wrath <07110> come upon you, and upon your brethren

<0251>: this <03541> do <06213> (8799), and ye shall not

trespass <0816> (8799).

2Ch 19:11 And, behold, Amariah <0568> the chief <07218> priest

<03548> is over you in all matters <01697> of the LORD <03068>;

and Zebadiah <02069> the son <01121> of Ishmael <03458>, the

ruler <05057> of the house <01004> of Judah <03063>, for all the

king’s <04428> matters <01697>: also the Levites <03881> shall

be officers <07860> (8802) before <06440> you. Deal <06213>

(8798) courageously <02388> (8798), and the LORD <03068> shall

be with the good <02896>.

2Ch 20:01 ¶ It came to pass after this <0310> also, that the

children <01121> of Moab <04124>, and the children <01121> of

Ammon <05983>, and with them other beside the Ammonites <05984>,

came <0935> (8804) against Jehoshaphat <03092> to battle <04421>.

2Ch 20:02 Then there came <0935> (8799) some that told <05046>

(8686) Jehoshaphat <03092>, saying <0559> (8800), There cometh

<0935> (8802) a great <07227> multitude <01995> against thee

from beyond <05676> the sea <03220> on this side Syria <0758>;

and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar <02688>, which is Engedi

<05872>.

2Ch 20:03 And Jehoshaphat <03092> feared <03372> (8799), and

set <05414> (8799) himself <06440> to seek <01875> (8800) the

LORD <03068>, and proclaimed <07121> (8799) a fast <06685>

throughout <05921> all Judah <03063>.

2Ch 20:04 And Judah <03063> gathered themselves together

<06908> (8735), to ask <01245> (8763) help of the LORD <03068>:

even out of all the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> they came

<0935> (8804) to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:05 And Jehoshaphat <03092> stood <05975> (8799) in the

congregation <06951> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, in

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, before <06440> the new

<02319> court <02691>,

2Ch 20:06 And said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of

our fathers <01>, art not thou God <0430> in heaven <08064>? and

rulest <04910> (8802) not thou over all the kingdoms <04467> of

the heathen <01471>? and in thine hand <03027> is there not

power <03581> and might <01369>, so that none is able to

withstand <03320> (8692) thee?

2Ch 20:07 Art not thou our God <0430>, who didst drive out

<03423> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of this land

<0776> before <06440> thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, and

gavest <05414> (8799) it to the seed <02233> of Abraham <085>

thy friend <0157> (8802) for ever <05769>?

2Ch 20:08 And they dwelt <03427> (8799) therein, and have built

<01129> (8799) thee a sanctuary <04720> therein for thy name

<08034>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 20:09 If, when evil <07451> cometh <0935> (8799) upon us,

as the sword <02719>, judgment <08196>, or pestilence <01698>,

or famine <07458>, we stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> this

house <01004>, and in thy presence <06440>, (for thy name

<08034> is in this house <01004>,) and cry <02199> (8799) unto

thee in our affliction <06869>, then thou wilt hear <08085>

(8799) and help <03467> (8686).

2Ch 20:10 And now, behold, the children <01121> of Ammon

<05983> and Moab <04124> and mount <02022> Seir <08165>, whom

thou wouldest not let <05414> (8804) Israel <03478> invade

<0935> (8800), when they came out <0935> (8800) of the land

<0776> of Egypt <04714>, but they turned <05493> (8804) from

them, and destroyed <08045> (8689) them not;

2Ch 20:11 Behold, I say, how they reward <01580> (8802) us, to

come <0935> (8800) to cast us out <01644> (8763) of thy

possession <03425>, which thou hast given us to inherit <03423>

(8689).

2Ch 20:12 O our God <0430>, wilt thou not judge <08199> (8799)

them? for we have no might <03581> against <06440> this great

<07227> company <01995> that cometh <0935> (8802) against us;

neither know <03045> (8799) we <0587> what to do <06213> (8799):

but our eyes <05869> are upon thee.

2Ch 20:13 And all Judah <03063> stood <05975> (8802) before

<06440> the LORD <03068>, with <01571> their little ones <02945>,

their wives <0802>, and their children <01121>.

2Ch 20:14 ¶ Then upon Jahaziel <03166> the son <01121> of

Zechariah <02148>, the son <01121> of Benaiah <01141>, the son

<01121> of Jeiel <03273>, the son <01121> of Mattaniah <04983>,

a Levite <03881> of the sons <01121> of Asaph <0623>, came the

Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> in the midst <08432> of the

congregation <06951>;

2Ch 20:15 And he said <0559> (8799), Hearken <07181> (8685) ye,

all Judah <03063>, and ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of

Jerusalem <03389>, and thou king <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092>,

Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> unto you, Be not

afraid <03372> (8799) nor dismayed <02865> (8735) by reason

<06440> of this great <07227> multitude <01995>; for the battle

<04421> is not yours, but God’s <0430>.

2Ch 20:16 To morrow <04279> go ye down <03381> (8798) against

them: behold, they come up <05927> (8802) by the cliff <04608>

of Ziz <06732>; and ye shall find <04672> (8804) them at the end

<05490> of the brook <05158>, before <06440> the wilderness

<04057> of Jeruel <03385>.

2Ch 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight <03898> (8736) in this

<02063> battle: set <03320> (8690) yourselves, stand <05975>

(8798) ye still, and see <07200> (8798) the salvation <03444> of

the LORD <03068> with you, O Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>:

fear <03372> (8799) not, nor be dismayed <02865> (8735); to

morrow <04279> go out <03318> (8798) against <06440> them: for

the LORD <03068> will be with you.

2Ch 20:18 And Jehoshaphat <03092> bowed <06915> (8799) his head

with his face <0639> to the ground <0776>: and all Judah <03063>

and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> fell

<05307> (8804) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, worshipping

<07812> (8692) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:19 And the Levites <03881>, of the children <01121> of

the Kohathites <06956>, and of the children <01121> of the

Korhites <07145>, stood up <06965> (8799) to praise <01984>

(8763) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> with a loud

<01419> voice <06963> on high <04605>.

2Ch 20:20 ¶ And they rose early <07925> (8686) in the morning

<01242>, and went forth <03318> (8799) into the wilderness

<04057> of Tekoa <08620>: and as they went forth <03318> (8800),

Jehoshaphat <03092> stood <05975> (8804) and said <0559> (8799),

Hear <08085> (8798) me, O Judah <03063>, and ye inhabitants

<03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>; Believe <0539> (8685) in

the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, so shall ye be established

<0539> (8735); believe <0539> (8685) his prophets <05030>, so

shall ye prosper <06743> (8685).

2Ch 20:21 And when he had consulted <03289> (8735) with the

people <05971>, he appointed <05975> (8686) singers <07891>

(8789) unto the LORD <03068>, and that should praise <01984>

(8764) the beauty <01927> of holiness <06944>, as they went out

<03318> (8800) before <06440> the army <02502> (8803), and to

say <0559> (8802), Praise <03034> (8685) the LORD <03068>; for

his mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>.

2Ch 20:22 And when <06256> they began <02490> (8689) to sing

<07440> and to praise <08416>, the LORD <03068> set <05414>

(8804) ambushments <0693> (8764) against the children <01121> of

Ammon <05983>, Moab <04124>, and mount <02022> Seir <08165>,

which were come <0935> (8802) against Judah <03063>; and they

were smitten <05062> (8735).

2Ch 20:23 For the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> and Moab

<04124> stood up <05975> (8799) against the inhabitants <03427>

(8802) of mount <02022> Seir <08165>, utterly to slay <02763>

(8687) and destroy <08045> (8687) them: and when they had made

an end <03615> (8763) of the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Seir

<08165>, every one <0376> helped <05826> (8804) to destroy

<04889> another <07453>.

2Ch 20:24 And when Judah <03063> came <0935> (8804) toward the

watch tower <04707> (8677) <04708> in the wilderness <04057>,

they looked <06437> (8799) unto the multitude <01995>, and,

behold, they were dead bodies <06297> fallen <05307> (8802) to

the earth <0776>, and none escaped <06413>.

2Ch 20:25 And when Jehoshaphat <03092> and his people <05971>

came <0935> (8799) to take away <0962> (8800) the spoil <07998>

of them, they found <04672> (8799) among them in abundance

<07230> both riches <07399> with the dead bodies <06297>, and

precious <02532> jewels <03627>, which they stripped off <05337>

(8762) for themselves, more than <0369> they could carry away

<04853>: and they were three <07969> days <03117> in gathering

<0962> (8802) of the spoil <07998>, it was so much <07227>.

2Ch 20:26 And on the fourth <07243> day <03117> they assembled

<06950> (8738) themselves in the valley <06010> of Berachah

<01294>; for there they blessed <01288> (8765) the LORD <03068>:

therefore the name <08034> of the same place <04725> was called

<07121> (8804), The valley <06010> of Berachah <01294>, unto

this day <03117>.

2Ch 20:27 Then they returned <07725> (8799), every man <0376>

of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, and Jehoshaphat <03092>

in the forefront <07218> of them, to go again <07725> (8800) to

Jerusalem <03389> with joy <08057>; for the LORD <03068> had

made them to rejoice <08055> (8765) over their enemies <0341>

(8802).

2Ch 20:28 And they came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> with

psalteries <05035> and harps <03658> and trumpets <02689> unto

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:29 And the fear <06343> of God <0430> was on all the

kingdoms <04467> of those countries <0776>, when they had heard

<08085> (8800) that the LORD <03068> fought <03898> (8738)

against the enemies <0341> (8802) of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 20:30 So the realm <04438> of Jehoshaphat <03092> was quiet

<08252> (8799): for his God <0430> gave him rest <05117> (8799)

round about <05439>.

2Ch 20:31 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> reigned <04427> (8799) over

Judah <03063>: he was thirty <07970> and five <02568> years

<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and

he reigned <04427> (8804) twenty <06242> and five <02568> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother’s <0517> name

<08034> was Azubah <05806> the daughter <01323> of Shilhi

<07977>.

2Ch 20:32 And he walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of

Asa <0609> his father <01>, and departed <05493> (8804) not from

it, doing <06213> (8800) that which was right <03477> in the

sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:33 Howbeit the high places <01116> were not taken away

<05493> (8804): for as yet the people <05971> had not prepared

<03559> (8689) their hearts <03824> unto the God <0430> of their

fathers <01>.

2Ch 20:34 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of

Jehoshaphat <03092>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, they

are written <03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Jehu <03058>

the son <01121> of Hanani <02607>, who is mentioned <05927>

(8717) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Israel

<03478>.

2Ch 20:35 And after <0310> this did Jehoshaphat <03092> king

<04428> of Judah <03063> join <02266> (8694) himself with

Ahaziah <0274> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, who did <06213>

(8800) very wickedly <07561> (8689):

2Ch 20:36 And he joined <02266> (8762) himself with him to make

<06213> (8800) ships <0591> to go <03212> (8800) to Tarshish

<08659>: and they made <06213> (8799) the ships <0591> in

Eziongeber <06100>.

2Ch 20:37 Then Eliezer <0461> the son <01121> of Dodavah

<01735> of Mareshah <04762> prophesied <05012> (8691) against

Jehoshaphat <03092>, saying <0559> (8800), Because thou hast

joined <02266> (8692) thyself with Ahaziah <0274>, the LORD

<03068> hath broken <06555> (8804) thy works <04639>. And the

ships <0591> were broken <07665> (8735), that they were not able

<06113> (8804) to go <03212> (8800) to Tarshish <08659>.

2Ch 21:01 ¶ Now Jehoshaphat <03092> slept <07901> (8799) with

his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers

<01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>. And Jehoram <03088>

his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 21:02 And he had brethren <0251> the sons <01121> of

Jehoshaphat <03092>, Azariah <05838>, and Jehiel <03171>, and

Zechariah <02148>, and Azariah <05838>, and Michael <04317>, and

Shephatiah <08203>: all these were the sons <01121> of

Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 21:03 And their father <01> gave <05414> (8799) them great

<07227> gifts <04979> of silver <03701>, and of gold <02091>,

and of precious things <04030>, with fenced <04694> cities

<05892> in Judah <03063>: but the kingdom <04467> gave <05414>

(8804) he to Jehoram <03088>; because he was the firstborn

<01060>.

2Ch 21:04 Now when Jehoram <03088> was risen up <06965> (8799)

to the kingdom <04467> of his father <01>, he strengthened

<02388> (8691) himself, and slew <02026> (8799) all his brethren

<0251> with the sword <02719>, and divers also of the princes

<08269> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 21:05 Jehoram <03088> was thirty <07970> and two <08147>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) eight <08083> years <08141> in

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 21:06 And he walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of

the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, like as did <06213> (8804)

the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>: for he had the daughter

<01323> of Ahab <0256> to wife <0802>: and he wrought <06213>

(8799) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes <05869> of the

LORD <03068>.

2Ch 21:07 Howbeit the LORD <03068> would <014> (8804) not

destroy <07843> (8687) the house <01004> of David <01732>,

because of the covenant <01285> that he had made <03772> (8804)

with David <01732>, and as he promised <0559> (8804) to give

<05414> (8800) a light <05216> to him and to his sons <01121>

for ever <03117>.

2Ch 21:08 In his days <03117> the Edomites <0123> revolted

<06586> (8804) from under the dominion <03027> of Judah <03063>,

and made <04427> (8686) themselves a king <04428>.

2Ch 21:09 Then Jehoram <03088> went forth <05674> (8799) with

his princes <08269>, and all his chariots <07393> with him: and

he rose up <06965> (8804) by night <03915>, and smote <05221>

(8686) the Edomites <0123> which compassed him in <05437> (8802),

and the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393>.

2Ch 21:10 So the Edomites <0123> revolted <06586> (8799) from

under the hand <03027> of Judah <03063> unto this day <03117>.

The same time <06256> also did Libnah <03841> revolt <06586>

(8799) from under his hand <03027>; because he had forsaken

<05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 21:11 Moreover he made <06213> (8804) high places <01116>

in the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and caused the

inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to commit

fornication <02181> (8686), and compelled <05080> (8686) Judah

<03063> thereto.

2Ch 21:12 ¶ And there came <0935> (8799) a writing <04385> to

him from Elijah <0452> the prophet <05030>, saying <0559> (8800),

Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of David

<01732> thy father <01>, Because thou hast not walked <01980>

(8804) in the ways <01870> of Jehoshaphat <03092> thy father

<01>, nor in the ways <01870> of Asa <0609> king <04428> of

Judah <03063>,

2Ch 21:13 But hast walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of

the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, and hast made Judah <03063>

and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to go a

whoring <02181> (8686), like to the whoredoms <02181> (8687) of

the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>, and also hast slain <02026>

(8804) thy brethren <0251> of thy father’s <01> house <01004>,

which were better <02896> than thyself:

2Ch 21:14 Behold, with a great <01419> plague <04046> will the

LORD <03068> smite <05062> (8802) thy people <05971>, and thy

children <01121>, and thy wives <0802>, and all thy goods

<07399>:

2Ch 21:15 And thou shalt have great <07227> sickness <02483> by

disease <04245> of thy bowels <04578>, until thy bowels <04578>

fall out <03318> (8799) by reason of the sickness <02483> day

<03117> by day <03117>.

2Ch 21:16 Moreover the LORD <03068> stirred up <05782> (8686)

against Jehoram <03088> the spirit <07307> of the Philistines

<06430>, and of the Arabians <06163>, that were near <05921>

<03027> the Ethiopians <03569>:

2Ch 21:17 And they came up <05927> (8799) into Judah <03063>,

and brake <01234> (8799) into it, and carried away <07617>

(8799) all the substance <07399> that was found <04672> (8737)

in the king’s <04428> house <01004>, and his sons <01121> also,

and his wives <0802>; so that there was never a son <01121> left

<07604> (8738) him, save Jehoahaz <03059>, the youngest <06996>

of his sons <01121>.

2Ch 21:18 And after <0310> all this the LORD <03068> smote

<05062> (8804) him in his bowels <04578> with an incurable

<0369> <04832> disease <02483>.

2Ch 21:19 And it came to pass, that in process of time <03117>,

after <03318> (8800) <06256> the end <07093> of two <08147>

years <03117>, his bowels <04578> fell out <03318> (8804) by

reason <05973> of his sickness <02483>: so he died <04191>

(8799) of sore <07451> diseases <08463>. And his people <05971>

made <06213> (8804) no burning <08316> for him, like the burning

<08316> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 21:20 Thirty <07970> and two <08147> years old <01121> was

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

(8804) in Jerusalem <03389> eight <08083> years <08141>, and

departed <03212> (8799) without being desired <02532>. Howbeit

they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David

<01732>, but not in the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428>.

2Ch 22:01 ¶ And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem

<03389> made <04427> <00> Ahaziah <0274> his youngest <06996>

son <01121> king <04427> (8686) in his stead: for the band of

men <01416> that came <0935> (8802) with the Arabians <06163> to

the camp <04264> had slain <02026> (8804) all the eldest <07223>.

So Ahaziah <0274> the son <01121> of Jehoram <03088> king

<04428> of Judah <03063> reigned <04427> (8799).

2Ch 22:02 Forty <0705> and two <08147> years <08141> old

<01121> was Ahaziah <0274> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) one <0259> year <08141> in

Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name <08034> also was

Athaliah <06271> the daughter <01323> of Omri <06018>.

2Ch 22:03 He also walked <01980> (8804) in the ways <01870> of

the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>: for his mother <0517> was his

counsellor <03289> (8802) to do wickedly <07561> (8687).

2Ch 22:04 Wherefore he did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the

sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> like the house <01004> of Ahab

<0256>: for they were his counsellors <03289> (8802) after

<0310> the death <04194> of his father <01> to his destruction

<04889>.

2Ch 22:05 He walked <01980> (8804) also after their counsel

<06098>, and went <03212> (8799) with Jehoram <03088> the son

<01121> of Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478> to war

<04421> against Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758> at

Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>: and the Syrians <07421> smote

<05221> (8686) Joram <03141>.

2Ch 22:06 And he returned <07725> (8799) to be healed <07495>

(8692) in Jezreel <03157> because of the wounds <04347> which

were given <05221> (8689) him at Ramah <07414>, when he fought

<03898> (8736) with Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>.

And Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Jehoram <03088> king

<04428> of Judah <03063> went down <03381> (8804) to see <07200>

(8800) Jehoram <03088> the son <01121> of Ahab <0256> at Jezreel

<03157>, because he was sick <02470> (8802).

2Ch 22:07 And the destruction <08395> of Ahaziah <0274> was of

God <0430> by coming <0935> (8800) to Joram <03141>: for when he

was come <0935> (8800), he went out <03318> (8804) with Jehoram

<03088> against Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Nimshi <05250>,

whom the LORD <03068> had anointed <04886> (8804) to cut off

<03772> (8687) the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>.

2Ch 22:08 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu <03058> was

executing judgment <08199> (8736) upon the house <01004> of Ahab

<0256>, and found <04672> (8799) the princes <08269> of Judah

<03063>, and the sons <01121> of the brethren <0251> of Ahaziah

<0274>, that ministered <08334> (8764) to Ahaziah <0274>, he

slew <02026> (8799) them.

2Ch 22:09 And he sought <01245> (8762) Ahaziah <0274>: and they

caught <03920> (8799) him, (for he was hid <02244> (8693) in

Samaria <08111>,) and brought <0935> (8686) him to Jehu <03058>:

and when they had slain <04191> (8686) him, they buried <06912>

(8799) him: Because, said <0559> (8804) they, he is the son

<01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, who sought <01875> (8804) the

LORD <03068> with all his heart <03824>. So the house <01004> of

Ahaziah <0274> had no power <03581> to keep <06113> (8800) still

the kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 22:10 ¶ But when Athaliah <06271> the mother <0517> of

Ahaziah <0274> saw <07200> (8804) that her son <01121> was dead

<04191> (8804), she arose <06965> (8799) and destroyed <01696>

(8762) all the seed <02233> royal <04467> of the house <01004>

of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 22:11 But Jehoshabeath <03090>, the daughter <01323> of the

king <04428>, took <03947> (8799) Joash <03101> the son <01121>

of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <01589> (8799) him from among

<08432> the king’s <04428> sons <01121> that were slain <04191>

(8716), and put <05414> (8799) him and his nurse <03243> (8688)

in a bedchamber <02315> <04296>. So Jehoshabeath <03090>, the

daughter <01323> of king <04428> Jehoram <03088>, the wife

<0802> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, (for she was the

sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274>,) hid <05641> (8686) him from

<06440> Athaliah <06271>, so that she slew <04191> (8689) him

not.

2Ch 22:12 And he was with them hid <02244> (8693) in the house

<01004> of God <0430> six <08337> years <08141>: and Athaliah

<06271> reigned <04427> (8802) over the land <0776>.

2Ch 23:01 ¶ And in the seventh <07637> year <08141> Jehoiada

<03077> strengthened <02388> (8694) himself, and took <03947>

(8799) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967>, Azariah <05838>

the son <01121> of Jeroham <03395>, and Ishmael <03458> the son

<01121> of Jehohanan <03076>, and Azariah <05838> the son

<01121> of Obed <05744>, and Maaseiah <04641> the son <01121> of

Adaiah <05718>, and Elishaphat <0478> the son <01121> of Zichri

<02147>, into covenant <01285> with him.

2Ch 23:02 And they went about <05437> (8799) in Judah <03063>,

and gathered <06908> (8799) the Levites <03881> out of all the

cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and the chief <07218> of the

fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, and they came <0935> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 23:03 And all the congregation <06951> made <03772> (8799)

a covenant <01285> with the king <04428> in the house <01004> of

God <0430>. And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Behold, the

king’s <04428> son <01121> shall reign <04427> (8799), as the

LORD <03068> hath said <01696> (8765) of the sons <01121> of

David <01732>.

2Ch 23:04 This is the thing <01697> that ye shall do <06213>

(8799); A third part <07992> of you entering <0935> (8802) on

the sabbath <07676>, of the priests <03548> and of the Levites

<03881>, shall be porters <07778> of the doors <05592>;

2Ch 23:05 And a third part <07992> shall be at the king’s

<04428> house <01004>; and a third part <07992> at the gate

<08179> of the foundation <03247>: and all the people <05971>

shall be in the courts <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068>.

2Ch 23:06 But let none come <0935> (8799) into the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>, save the priests <03548>, and they

that minister <08334> (8764) of the Levites <03881>; they shall

go in <0935> (8799), for they are holy <06944>: but all the

people <05971> shall keep <08104> (8799) the watch <04931> of

the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 23:07 And the Levites <03881> shall compass <05362> (8689)

the king <04428> round about <05439>, every man <0376> with his

weapons <03627> in his hand <03027>; and whosoever else cometh

<0935> (8802) into the house <01004>, he shall be put to death

<04191> (8714): but be ye with the king <04428> when he cometh

in <0935> (8800), and when he goeth out <03318> (8800).

2Ch 23:08 So the Levites <03881> and all Judah <03063> did

<06213> (8799) according to all things that Jehoiada <03077> the

priest <03548> had commanded <06680> (8765), and took <03947>

(8799) every man <0376> his men <0582> that were to come in

<0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, with them that were to go

<03318> (8802) out on the sabbath <07676>: for Jehoiada <03077>

the priest <03548> dismissed <06358> (8804) not the courses

<04256>.

2Ch 23:09 Moreover Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>

delivered <05414> (8799) to the captains <08269> of hundreds

<03967> spears <02595>, and bucklers <04043>, and shields

<07982>, that had been king <04428> David’s <01732>, which were

in the house <01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 23:10 And he set <05975> (8686) all the people <05971>,

every man <0376> having his weapon <07973> in his hand <03027>,

from the right <03233> side <03802> of the temple <01004> to the

left <08042> side <03802> of the temple <01004>, along by the

altar <04196> and the temple <01004>, by the king <04428> round

about <05439>.

2Ch 23:11 Then they brought out <03318> (8686) the king’s

<04428> son <01121>, and put <05414> (8799) upon him the crown

<05145>, and gave him the testimony <05715>, and made him king

<04427> (8686). And Jehoiada <03077> and his sons <01121>

anointed <04886> (8799) him, and said <0559> (8799), God save

<02421> (8799) the king <04428>.

2Ch 23:12 ¶ Now when Athaliah <06271> heard <08085> (8799) the

noise <06963> of the people <05971> running <07323> (8801) and

praising <01984> (8764) the king <04428>, she came <0935> (8799)

to the people <05971> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>:

2Ch 23:13 And she looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, the king

<04428> stood <05975> (8802) at his pillar <05982> at the

entering in <03996>, and the princes <08269> and the trumpets

<02689> by the king <04428>: and all the people <05971> of the

land <0776> rejoiced <08056>, and sounded <08628> (8802) with

trumpets <02689>, also the singers <07891> (8789) with

instruments <03627> of musick <07892>, and such as taught

<03045> (8688) to sing praise <01984> (8763). Then Athaliah

<06271> rent <07167> (8799) her clothes <0899>, and said <0559>

(8799), Treason <07195>, Treason <07195>.

2Ch 23:14 Then Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> brought out

<03318> (8686) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967> that

were set over <06485> (8803) the host <02428>, and said <0559>

(8799) unto them, Have her forth <03318> (8685) of the ranges

<01004> <07713>: and whoso followeth <0935> (8802) <0310> her,

let him be slain <04191> (8714) with the sword <02719>. For the

priest <03548> said <0559> (8804), Slay <04191> (8686) her not

in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 23:15 So they laid <07760> (8799) hands <03027> on her; and

when she was come <0935> (8799) to the entering <03996> of the

horse <05483> gate <08179> by the king’s <04428> house <01004>,

they slew <04191> (8686) her there.

2Ch 23:16 And Jehoiada <03077> made <03772> (8799) a covenant

<01285> between him, and between all the people <05971>, and

between the king <04428>, that they should be the LORD’S <03068>

people <05971>.

2Ch 23:17 Then all the people <05971> went <0935> (8799) to the

house <01004> of Baal <01168>, and brake it down <05422> (8799),

and brake <07665> <00> his altars <04196> and his images <06754>

in pieces <07665> (8765), and slew <02026> (8804) Mattan <04977>

the priest <03548> of Baal <01168> before <06440> the altars

<04196>.

2Ch 23:18 Also Jehoiada <03077> appointed <07760> (8799) the

offices <06486> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> by the

hand <03027> of the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, whom

David <01732> had distributed <02505> (8804) in the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>, to offer <05927> (8687) the burnt

offerings <05930> of the LORD <03068>, as it is written <03789>

(8803) in the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, with rejoicing

<08057> and with singing <07892>, as it was ordained by <03027>

David <01732>.

2Ch 23:19 And he set <05975> (8686) the porters <07778> at the

gates <08179> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, that

none which was unclean <02931> in any thing <01697> should enter

in <0935> (8799).

2Ch 23:20 And he took <03947> (8799) the captains <08269> of

hundreds <03967>, and the nobles <0117>, and the governors

<04910> (8802) of the people <05971>, and all the people <05971>

of the land <0776>, and brought down <03381> (8686) the king

<04428> from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and they

came <0935> (8799) through <08432> the high <05945> gate <08179>

into the king’s <04428> house <01004>, and set <03427> (8686)

the king <04428> upon the throne <03678> of the kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 23:21 And all the people <05971> of the land <0776>

rejoiced <08055> (8799): and the city <05892> was quiet <08252>

(8804), after that they had slain <04191> (8689) Athaliah

<06271> with the sword <02719>.

2Ch 24:01 ¶ Joash <03101> was seven <07651> years <08141> old

<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned

<04427> (8804) forty <0705> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>.

His mother’s <0517> name <08034> also was Zibiah <06645> of

Beersheba <0884>.

2Ch 24:02 And Joash <03101> did <06213> (8799) that which was

right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> all the

days <03117> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>.

2Ch 24:03 And Jehoiada <03077> took <05375> (8799) for him two

<08147> wives <0802>; and he begat <03205> (8686) sons <01121>

and daughters <01323>.

2Ch 24:04 And it came to pass after <0310> this, that Joash

<03101> was minded <03820> to repair <02318> (8763) the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:05 And he gathered together <06908> (8799) the priests

<03548> and the Levites <03881>, and said <0559> (8799) to them,

Go out <03318> (8798) unto the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,

and gather <06908> (8798) of all Israel <03478> money <03701> to

repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of your God <0430> from

<01767> year <08141> to year <08141>, and see that ye hasten

<04116> (8762) the matter <01697>. Howbeit the Levites <03881>

hastened <04116> (8765) it not.

2Ch 24:06 And the king <04428> called <07121> (8799) for

Jehoiada <03077> the chief <07218>, and said <0559> (8799) unto

him, Why hast thou not required <01875> (8804) of the Levites

<03881> to bring in <0935> (8687) out of Judah <03063> and out

of Jerusalem <03389> the collection <04864>, according to the

commandment of Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD

<03068>, and of the congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, for

the tabernacle <0168> of witness <05715>?

2Ch 24:07 For the sons <01121> of Athaliah <06271>, that wicked

<04849> woman, had broken up <06555> (8804) the house <01004> of

God <0430>; and also all the dedicated things <06944> of the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068> did they bestow <06213> (8804)

upon Baalim <01168>.

2Ch 24:08 And at the king’s <04428> commandment <0559> (8799)

they made <06213> (8799) a <0259> chest <0727>, and set <05414>

(8799) it without <02351> at the gate <08179> of the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:09 And they made <05414> (8799) a proclamation <06963>

through Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, to bring in <0935>

(8687) to the LORD <03068> the collection <04864> that Moses

<04872> the servant <05650> of God <0430> laid upon Israel

<03478> in the wilderness <04057>.

2Ch 24:10 And all the princes <08269> and all the people

<05971> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and brought in <0935> (8686),

and cast <07993> (8686) into the chest <0727>, until they had

made an end <03615> (8763).

2Ch 24:11 Now it came to pass, that at what time <06256> the

chest <0727> was brought <0935> (8686) unto the king’s <04428>

office <06486> by the hand <03027> of the Levites <03881>, and

when they saw <07200> (8800) that there was much <07227> money

<03701>, the king’s <04428> scribe <05608> (8802) and the high

<07218> priest’s <03548> officer <06496> came <0935> (8804) and

emptied <06168> (8762) the chest <0727>, and took <05375> (8799)

it, and carried <07725> <00> it to his place <04725> again

<07725> (8686). Thus they did <06213> (8804) day <03117> by day

<03117>, and gathered <0622> (8799) money <03701> in abundance

<07230>.

2Ch 24:12 And the king <04428> and Jehoiada <03077> gave

<05414> (8799) it to such as did <06213> (8802) the work <04399>

of the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>,

and hired <07936> (8802) masons <02672> (8802) and carpenters

<02796> to repair <02318> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068>, and also such as wrought <02796> iron <01270> and brass

<05178> to mend <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068>.

2Ch 24:13 So the workmen <04399> <06213> (8802) wrought <06213>

(8799), and the work <04399> was <05927> (8799) perfected <0724>

by them <03027>, and they set <05975> (8686) the house <01004>

of God <0430> in his state <04971>, and strengthened <0553>

(8762) it.

2Ch 24:14 And when they had finished <03615> (8763) it, they

brought <0935> (8689) the rest <07605> of the money <03701>

before <06440> the king <04428> and Jehoiada <03077>, whereof

were made <06213> (8799) vessels <03627> for the house <01004>

of the LORD <03068>, even vessels <03627> to minister <08335>,

and to offer <05927> (8687) withal, and spoons <03709>, and

vessels <03627> of gold <02091> and silver <03701>. And they

offered <05927> (8688) burnt offerings <05930> in the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068> continually <08548> all the days

<03117> of Jehoiada <03077>.

2Ch 24:15 ¶ But Jehoiada <03077> waxed old <02204> (8799), and

was full <07646> (8799) of days <03117> when he died <04191>

(8799); an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141> old

<01121> was he when he died <04194>.

2Ch 24:16 And they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city

<05892> of David <01732> among the kings <04428>, because he had

done <06213> (8804) good <02896> in Israel <03478>, both toward

God <0430>, and toward his house <01004>.

2Ch 24:17 Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Jehoiada

<03077> came <0935> (8804) the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>,

and made obeisance <07812> (8691) to the king <04428>. Then the

king <04428> hearkened <08085> (8804) unto them.

2Ch 24:18 And they left <05800> (8799) the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, and served

<05647> (8799) groves <0842> and idols <06091>: and wrath

<07110> came upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> for this

their trespass <0819>.

2Ch 24:19 Yet he sent <07971> (8799) prophets <05030> to them,

to bring them again <07725> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>; and

they testified <05749> (8686) against them: but they would not

give ear <0238> (8689).

2Ch 24:20 And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came <03847>

(8804) upon Zechariah <02148> the son <01121> of Jehoiada

<03077> the priest <03548>, which stood <05975> (8799) above the

people <05971>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Thus saith

<0559> (8804) God <0430>, Why transgress <05674> (8802) ye the

commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068>, that ye cannot prosper

<06743> (8686)? because ye have forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD

<03068>, he hath also forsaken <05800> (8799) you.

2Ch 24:21 And they conspired <07194> (8799) against him, and

stoned <07275> (8799) him with stones <068> at the commandment

<04687> of the king <04428> in the court <02691> of the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:22 Thus Joash <03101> the king <04428> remembered

<02142> (8804) not the kindness <02617> which Jehoiada <03077>

his father <01> had done <06213> (8804) to him, but slew <02026>

(8799) his son <01121>. And when he died <04194>, he said <0559>

(8804), The LORD <03068> look <07200> (8799) upon it, and

require <01875> (8799) it.

2Ch 24:23 And it came to pass at the end <08622> of the year

<08141>, that the host <02428> of Syria <0758> came up <05927>

(8804) against him: and they came <0935> (8799) to Judah <03063>

and Jerusalem <03389>, and destroyed <07843> (8686) all the

princes <08269> of the people <05971> from among the people

<05971>, and sent <07971> (8765) all the spoil <07998> of them

unto the king <04428> of Damascus <01834>.

2Ch 24:24 For the army <02428> of the Syrians <0758> came

<0935> (8804) with a small <04705> company of men <0582>, and

the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8804) a very <03966> great

<07230> host <02428> into their hand <03027>, because they had

forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their

fathers <01>. So they executed <06213> (8804) judgment <08201>

against Joash <03101>.

2Ch 24:25 And when they were departed <03212> (8800) from him,

(for they left <05800> (8804) him in great <07227> diseases

<04251>,) his own servants <05650> conspired <07194> (8694)

against him for the blood <01818> of the sons <01121> of

Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, and slew <02026> (8799) him

on his bed <04296>, and he died <04191> (8799): and they buried

<06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David <01732>, but

they buried <06912> (8804) him not in the sepulchres <06913> of

the kings <04428>.

2Ch 24:26 And these are they that conspired <07194> (8693)

against him; Zabad <02066> the son <01121> of Shimeath <08100>

an Ammonitess <05985>, and Jehozabad <03075> the son <01121> of

Shimrith <08116> a Moabitess <04125>.

2Ch 24:27 Now concerning his sons <01121>, and the greatness

<07235> (8799) (8675) <07230> of the burdens <04853> laid upon

him, and the repairing <03247> of the house <01004> of God

<0430>, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the story

<04097> of the book <05612> of the kings <04428>. And Amaziah

<0558> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 25:01 ¶ Amaziah <0558> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8804),

and he 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>.

2Ch 25:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right

<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, but not with a

perfect <08003> heart <03824>.

2Ch 25:03 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom <04467> was

established <02388> (8804) to him, that he slew <02026> (8799)

his servants <05650> that had killed <05221> (8688) the king

<04428> his father <01>.

2Ch 25:04 But he slew <04191> (8689) not their children <01121>,

but did as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> in

the book <05612> of Moses <04872>, where the LORD <03068>

commanded <06680> (8765), saying <0559> (8800), The fathers <01>

shall not die <04191> (8799) for the children <01121>, neither

shall the children <01121> die <04191> (8799) for the fathers

<01>, but every man <0376> shall die <04191> (8799) for his own

sin <02399>.

2Ch 25:05 Moreover Amaziah <0558> gathered <06908> <00> Judah

<03063> together <06908> (8799), and made <05975> (8686) them

captains <08269> over thousands <0505>, and captains <08269>

over hundreds <03967>, according to the houses <01004> of their

fathers <01>, throughout all Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>:

and he numbered <06485> (8799) them from twenty <06242> years

<08141> old <01121> and above <04605>, and found <04672> (8799)

them three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505> choice <0977>

(8803) men, able to go forth <03318> (8802) to war <06635>, that

could handle <0270> (8802) spear <07420> and shield <06793>.

2Ch 25:06 He hired <07936> (8799) also an hundred <03967>

thousand <0505> mighty <01368> men of valour <02428> out of

Israel <03478> for an hundred <03967> talents <03603> of silver

<03701>.

2Ch 25:07 But there came <0935> (8804) a man <0376> of God

<0430> to him, saying <0559> (8800), O king <04428>, let not the

army <06635> of Israel <03478> go <0935> (8799) with thee; for

the LORD <03068> is not with Israel <03478>, to wit, with all

the children <01121> of Ephraim <0669>.

2Ch 25:08 But if thou wilt go <0935> (8798), do <06213> (8798)

it, be strong <02388> (8798) for the battle <04421>: God <0430>

shall make thee fall <03782> (8686) before <06440> the enemy

<0341> (8802): for God <0430> hath <03426> power <03581> to help

<05826> (8800), and to cast down <03782> (8687).

2Ch 25:09 And Amaziah <0558> said <0559> (8799) to the man

<0376> of God <0430>, But what shall we do <06213> (8800) for

the hundred <03967> talents <03603> which I have given <05414>

(8804) to the army <01416> of Israel <03478>? And the man <0376>

of God <0430> answered <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> is

<03426> able to give <05414> (8800) thee much more <07235>

(8687) than this.

2Ch 25:10 Then Amaziah <0558> separated <0914> (8686) them, to

wit, the army <01416> that was come <0935> (8804) to him out of

Ephraim <0669>, to go <03212> <00> home <04725> again <03212>

(8800): wherefore their anger <0639> was greatly <03966> kindled

<02734> (8799) against Judah <03063>, and they returned <07725>

(8799) home <04725> in great <02750> anger <0639>.

2Ch 25:11 And Amaziah <0558> strengthened <02388> (8694)

himself, and led forth <05090> (8799) his people <05971>, and

went <03212> (8799) to the valley <01516> of salt <04417>, and

smote <05221> (8686) of the children <01121> of Seir <08165> ten

<06235> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 25:12 And other ten <06235> thousand <0505> left alive

<02416> did the children <01121> of Judah <03063> carry away

captive <07617> (8804), and brought <0935> (8686) them unto the

top <07218> of the rock <05553>, and cast them down <07993>

(8686) from the top <07218> of the rock <05553>, that they all

were broken in pieces <01234> (8738).

2Ch 25:13 But the soldiers <01121> of the army <01416> which

Amaziah <0558> sent back <07725> (8689), that they should not go

<03212> (8800) with him to battle <04421>, fell <06584> (8799)

upon the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, from Samaria <08111>

even unto Bethhoron <01032>, and smote <05221> (8686) three

<07969> thousand <0505> of them, and took <0962> (8799) much

<07227> spoil <0961>.

2Ch 25:14 ¶ Now it came to pass, after <0310> that Amaziah

<0558> was come <0935> (8800) from the slaughter <05221> (8687)

of the Edomites <0130>, that he brought <0935> (8686) the gods

<0430> of the children <01121> of Seir <08165>, and set them up

<05975> (8686) to be his gods <0430>, and bowed down <07812>

(8691) himself before <06440> them, and burned incense <06999>

(8762) unto them.

2Ch 25:15 Wherefore the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was

kindled <02734> (8799) against Amaziah <0558>, and he sent

<07971> (8799) unto him a prophet <05030>, which said <0559>

(8799) unto him, Why hast thou sought <01875> (8804) after the

gods <0430> of the people <05971>, which could not deliver

<05337> (8689) their own people <05971> out of thine hand

<03027>?

2Ch 25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked <01696> (8763) with

him, that the king said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou made

<05414> (8804) of the king’s <04428> counsel <03289> (8802)?

forbear <02308> (8798); why shouldest thou be smitten <05221>

(8686)? Then the prophet <05030> forbare <02308> (8799), and

said <0559> (8799), I know <03045> (8804) that God <0430> hath

determined <03289> (8804) to destroy <07843> (8687) thee,

because thou hast done <06213> (8804) this, and hast not

hearkened <08085> (8804) unto my counsel <06098>.

2Ch 25:17 ¶ Then Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>

took advice <03289> (8735), and sent <07971> (8799) to Joash

<03101>, the son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059>, the son <01121> of

Jehu <03058>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>

(8800), Come <03212> (8798), let us see one another <07200>

(8691) in the face <06440>.

2Ch 25:18 And Joash <03101> 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 by <05674> (8799) a wild <07704> beast <02416> that was

in Lebanon <03844>, and trode down <07429> (8799) the thistle

<02336>.

2Ch 25:19 Thou sayest <0559> (8804), Lo, thou hast smitten

<05221> (8689) the Edomites <0123>; and thine heart <03820>

lifteth thee up <05375> (8804) to boast <03513> (8687): abide

<03427> (8798) now at home <01004>; why shouldest thou meddle

<01624> (8691) to thine hurt <07451>, that thou shouldest fall

<05307> (8804), even thou, and Judah <03063> with thee?

2Ch 25:20 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <08085> (8804); for

it came of God <0430>, that he might deliver <05414> (8800) them

into the hand <03027> of their enemies, because they sought

<01875> (8804) after the gods <0430> of Edom <0123>.

2Ch 25:21 So Joash <03101> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>

went up <05927> (8799); and they saw one another <07200> (8691)

in the face <06440>, both he and Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of

Judah <03063>, at Bethshemesh <01053>, which belongeth to Judah

<03063>.

2Ch 25:22 And Judah <03063> was put to the worse <05062> (8735)

before <06440> Israel <03478>, and they fled <05127> (8799)

every man <0376> to his tent <0168>.

2Ch 25:23 And Joash <03101> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>

took <08610> (8804) Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>,

the son <01121> of Joash <03101>, the son <01121> of Jehoahaz

<03059>, at Bethshemesh <01053>, and brought <0935> (8686) him

to Jerusalem <03389>, and brake down <06555> (8799) the wall

<02346> of Jerusalem <03389> from the gate <08179> of Ephraim

<0669> to the corner <06437> (8802) gate <08179>, four <0702>

hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

2Ch 25:24 And he took all the gold <02091> and the silver

<03701>, and all the vessels <03627> that were found <04672>

(8737) in the house <01004> of God <0430> with Obededom <05654>,

and the treasures <0214> of the king’s <04428> house <01004>,

the hostages <01121> <08594> also, and returned <07725> (8799)

to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 25:25 And Amaziah <0558> the son <01121> of Joash <03101>

king <04428> of Judah <03063> lived <02421> (8799) after <0310>

the death <04194> of Joash <03101> son <01121> of Jehoahaz

<03059> king <04428> of Israel <03478> fifteen <02568> <06240>

years <08141>.

2Ch 25:26 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Amaziah

<0558>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, are they not

written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428>

of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>?

2Ch 25:27 Now after the time <06256> that Amaziah <0558> did

turn away <05493> (8804) from following <0310> the LORD <03068>

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) to Lachish <03923> after <0310>

him, and slew <04191> (8686) him there.

2Ch 25:28 And they brought <05375> (8799) him upon horses

<05483>, and buried <06912> (8799) him with his fathers <01> in

the city <05892> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 26:01 ¶ Then all the people <05971> of Judah <03063> took

<03947> (8799) Uzziah <05818>, who was sixteen <08337> <06240>

years <08141> old <01121>, and made him king <04427> (8686) in

the room of his father <01> Amaziah <0558>.

2Ch 26:02 He built <01129> (8804) Eloth <0359>, and restored

<07725> (8686) it to Judah <03063>, after <0310> that the king

<04428> slept <07901> (8800) with his fathers <01>.

2Ch 26:03 Sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> old <01121> was

Uzziah <05818> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he

reigned <04427> (8804) fifty <02572> and two <08147> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name <08034>

also was Jecoliah <03203> of Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 26:04 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> did <06213> (8804).

2Ch 26:05 And he sought <01875> (8800) God <0430> in the days

<03117> of Zechariah <02148>, who had understanding <0995>

(8688) in the visions <07200> (8800) of God <0430>: and as long

as <03117> he sought <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068>, God <0430>

made him to prosper <06743> (8689).

2Ch 26:06 And he went forth <03318> (8799) and warred <03898>

(8735) against the Philistines <06430>, and brake down <06555>

(8799) the wall <02346> of Gath <01661>, and the wall <02346> of

Jabneh <02996>, and the wall <02346> of Ashdod <0795>, and built

<01129> (8799) cities <05892> about Ashdod <0795>, and among the

Philistines <06430>.

2Ch 26:07 And God <0430> helped <05826> (8799) him against the

Philistines <06430>, and against the Arabians <06163> that dwelt

<03427> (8802) in Gurbaal <01485>, and the Mehunims <04586>.

2Ch 26:08 And the Ammonites <05984> gave <05414> (8799) gifts

<04503> to Uzziah <05818>: and his name <08034> spread abroad

<03212> (8799) even to the entering <0935> (8800) in of Egypt

<04714>; for he strengthened <02388> (8689) himself exceedingly

<04605>.

2Ch 26:09 Moreover Uzziah <05818> built <01129> (8799) towers

<04026> in Jerusalem <03389> at the corner <06438> gate <08179>,

and at the valley <01516> gate <08179>, and at the turning

<04740> of the wall, and fortified <02388> (8762) them.

2Ch 26:10 Also he built <01129> (8799) towers <04026> in the

desert <04057>, and digged <02672> (8799) many <07227> wells

<0953>: for he had much <07227> cattle <04735>, both in the low

country <08219>, and in the plains <04334>: husbandmen <0406>

also, and vine dressers <03755> in the mountains <02022>, and in

Carmel <03760>: for he loved <0157> (8802) husbandry <0127>.

2Ch 26:11 Moreover Uzziah <05818> had an host <02428> of

fighting <04421> men <06213> (8802), that went out <03318>

(8802) to war <06635> by bands <01416>, according to the number

<04557> of their account <06486> by the hand <03027> of Jeiel

<03273> the scribe <05608> (8802) and Maaseiah <04641> the ruler

<07860> (8802), under the hand <03027> of Hananiah <02608>, one

of the king’s <04428> captains <08269>.

2Ch 26:12 The whole number <04557> of the chief <07218> of the

fathers <01> of the mighty men <01368> of valour <02428> were

two thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967>.

2Ch 26:13 And under their hand <03027> was an army <02428>

<06635>, three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505> and seven

<07651> thousand <0505> and five <02568> hundred <03967>, that

made <06213> (8802) war <04421> with mighty <02428> power

<03581>, to help <05826> (8800) the king <04428> against the

enemy <0341> (8802).

2Ch 26:14 And Uzziah <05818> prepared <03559> (8686) for them

throughout all the host <06635> shields <04043>, and spears

<07420>, and helmets <03553>, and habergeons <08302>, and bows

<07198>, and slings <07050> to cast stones <068>.

2Ch 26:15 And he made <06213> (8799) in Jerusalem <03389>

engines <02810>, invented <04284> by cunning men <02803> (8802),

to be on the towers <04026> and upon the bulwarks <06438>, to

shoot <03384> (8800) arrows <02671> and great <01419> stones

<068> withal. And his name <08034> spread <03318> (8799) far

abroad <07350>; for he was marvellously <06381> (8689) helped

<05826> (8736), till <03588> he was strong <02388> (8804).

2Ch 26:16 ¶ But when he was strong <02393>, his heart <03820>

was lifted up <01361> (8804) to his destruction <07843> (8687):

for he transgressed <04603> (8799) against the LORD <03068> his

God <0430>, and went <0935> (8799) into the temple <01964> of

the LORD <03068> to burn incense <06999> (8687) upon the altar

<04196> of incense <07004>.

2Ch 26:17 And Azariah <05838> the priest <03548> went in <0935>

(8799) after <0310> him, and with him fourscore <08084> priests

<03548> of the LORD <03068>, that were valiant <02428> men

<01121>:

2Ch 26:18 And they withstood <05975> (8799) Uzziah <05818> the

king <04428>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, It appertaineth

not unto thee, Uzziah <05818>, to burn incense <06999> (8687)

unto the LORD <03068>, but to the priests <03548> the sons

<01121> of Aaron <0175>, that are consecrated <06942> (8794) to

burn incense <06999> (8687): go out <03318> (8798) of the

sanctuary <04720>; for thou hast trespassed <04603> (8804);

neither shall it be for thine honour <03519> from the LORD

<03068> God <0430>.

2Ch 26:19 Then Uzziah <05818> was wroth <02196> (8799), and had

a censer <04730> in his hand <03027> to burn incense <06999>

(8687): and while he was wroth <02196> (8800) with the priests

<03548>, the leprosy <06883> even rose up <02224> (8804) in his

forehead <04696> before <06440> the priests <03548> in the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>, from beside the incense <07004>

altar <04196>.

2Ch 26:20 And Azariah <05838> the chief <07218> priest <03548>,

and all the priests <03548>, looked <06437> (8799) upon him, and,

behold, he was leprous <06879> (8794) in his forehead <04696>,

and they thrust him out <0926> (8686) from thence; yea, himself

hasted <01765> (8738) also to go out <03318> (8800), because the

LORD <03068> had smitten <05060> (8765) him.

2Ch 26:21 And Uzziah <05818> the king <04428> was a leper

<06879> (8794) unto the day <03117> of his death <04194>, and

dwelt in <03427> (8799) a several <02669> (8675) <02669> house

<01004>, being a leper <06879> (8794); for he was cut off

<01504> (8738) from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and

Jotham <03147> his son <01121> was over the king’s <04428> house

<01004>, judging <08199> (8802) the people <05971> of the land

<0776>.

2Ch 26:22 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Uzziah

<05818>, first <07223> and last <0314>, did Isaiah <03470> the

prophet <05030>, the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, write <03789>

(8804).

2Ch 26:23 So Uzziah <05818> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him with his

fathers <01> in the field <07704> of the burial <06900> which

belonged to the kings <04428>; for they said <0559> (8804), He

is a leper <06879> (8794): and Jotham <03147> his son <01121>

reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 27:01 ¶ Jotham <03147> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name <08034>

also was Jerushah <03388>, the daughter <01323> of Zadok <06659>.

2Ch 27:02 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> Uzziah <05818> did <06213> (8804):

howbeit he entered <0935> (8804) not into the temple <01964> of

the LORD <03068>. And the people <05971> did yet corruptly

<07843> (8688).

2Ch 27:03 He built <01129> (8804) the high <05945> gate <08179>

of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and on the wall

<02346> of Ophel <06077> he built <01129> (8804) much <07230>.

2Ch 27:04 Moreover he built <01129> (8804) cities <05892> in

the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and in the forests

<02793> he built <01129> (8804) castles <01003> and towers

<04026>.

2Ch 27:05 He fought <03898> (8738) also with the king <04428>

of the Ammonites <05984>, and prevailed <02388> (8799) against

them. And the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> gave <05414>

(8799) him the same year <08141> an hundred <03967> talents

<03603> of silver <03701>, and ten <06235> thousand <0505>

measures <03734> of wheat <02406>, and ten <06235> thousand

<0505> of barley <08184>. So much did the children <01121> of

Ammon <05983> pay <07725> (8689) unto <02063> him, both the

second <08145> year <08141>, and the third <07992>.

2Ch 27:06 So Jotham <03147> became mighty <02388> (8691),

because he prepared <03559> (8689) his ways <01870> before

<06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 27:07 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jotham

<03147>, and all his wars <04421>, and his ways <01870>, lo,

they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings

<04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>.

2Ch 27:08 He was five <02568> and twenty <06242> years <08141>

old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and reigned

<04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 27:09 And Jotham <03147> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city

<05892> of David <01732>: and Ahaz <0271> his son <01121>

reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 28:01 ¶ Ahaz <0271> was twenty <06242> years <08141> old

<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned

<04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in

Jerusalem <03389>: but he did <06213> (8804) not that which was

right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, like

David <01732> his father <01>:

2Ch 28:02 For he walked in <03212> (8799) the ways <01870> of

the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, and made <06213> (8804)

also molten images <04541> for Baalim <01168>.

2Ch 28:03 Moreover he burnt incense <06999> (8689) in the

valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, and burnt

<01197> (8686) his children <01121> in the fire <0784>, after

the abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471> whom the LORD

<03068> had cast out <03423> (8689) before <06440> the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:04 He sacrificed <02076> (8762) also and burnt incense

<06999> (8762) in the high places <01116>, and on the hills

<01389>, and under every green <07488> tree <06086>.

2Ch 28:05 Wherefore the LORD <03068> his God <0430> delivered

<05414> (8799) him into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of

Syria <0758>; and they smote <05221> (8686) him, and carried

away <07617> (8799) a great multitude <01419> of them captives

<07633>, and brought <0935> (8686) them to Damascus <01834>. And

he was also delivered <05414> (8737) into the hand <03027> of

the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, who smote <05221> (8686) him

with a great <01419> slaughter <04347>.

2Ch 28:06 ¶ For Pekah <06492> the son <01121> of Remaliah

<07425> slew <02026> (8799) in Judah <03063> an hundred <03967>

and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> in one <0259> day <03117>,

which were all valiant <02428> men <01121>; because they had

forsaken <05800> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their

fathers <01>.

2Ch 28:07 And Zichri <02147>, a mighty man <01368> of Ephraim

<0669>, slew <02026> (8799) Maaseiah <04641> the king’s <04428>

son <01121>, and Azrikam <05840> the governor <05057> of the

house <01004>, and Elkanah <0511> that was next <04932> to the

king <04428>.

2Ch 28:08 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> carried

away captive <07617> (8799) of their brethren <0251> two hundred

<03967> thousand <0505>, women <0802>, sons <01121>, and

daughters <01323>, and took also away <0962> (8804) much <07227>

spoil <07998> from them, and brought <0935> (8686) the spoil

<07998> to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 28:09 But a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068> was there,

whose name <08034> was Oded <05752>: and he went out <03318>

(8799) before <06440> the host <06635> that came <0935> (8802)

to Samaria <08111>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Behold,

because the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01> was

wroth <02534> with Judah <03063>, he hath delivered <05414>

(8804) them into your hand <03027>, and ye have slain <02026>

(8799) them in a rage <02197> that reacheth up <05060> (8689)

unto heaven <08064>.

2Ch 28:10 And now ye purpose <0559> (8802) to keep under

<03533> (8800) the children <01121> of Judah <03063> and

Jerusalem <03389> for bondmen <05650> and bondwomen <08198> unto

you: but are there not with you, even <07535> with you, sins

<0819> against the LORD <03068> your God <0430>?

2Ch 28:11 Now hear <08085> (8798) me therefore, and deliver

<07725> (8685) the captives <07633> again, which ye have taken

captive <07617> (8804) of your brethren <0251>: for the fierce

<02740> wrath <0639> of the LORD <03068> is upon you.

2Ch 28:12 Then certain <0582> of the heads <07218> of the

children <01121> of Ephraim <0669>, Azariah <05838> the son

<01121> of Johanan <03076>, Berechiah <01296> the son <01121> of

Meshillemoth <04919>, and Jehizkiah <03169> the son <01121> of

Shallum <07967>, and Amasa <06021> the son <01121> of Hadlai

<02311>, stood up <06965> (8799) against them that came <0935>

(8802) from the war <06635>,

2Ch 28:13 And said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye shall not bring

in <0935> (8686) the captives <07633> hither: for whereas we

have offended <0819> against the LORD <03068> already, ye intend

<0559> (8802) to add <03254> (8687) more to our sins <02403> and

to our trespass <0819>: for our trespass <0819> is great <07227>,

and there is fierce <02740> wrath <0639> against Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:14 So the armed men <02502> (8803) left <05800> (8799)

the captives <07633> and the spoil <0961> before <06440> the

princes <08269> and all the congregation <06951>.

2Ch 28:15 And the men <0582> which were expressed <05344>

(8738) by name <08034> rose up <06965> (8799), and took <02388>

(8686) the captives <07633>, and with the spoil <07998> clothed

<03847> (8689) all that were naked <04636> among them, and

arrayed <03847> (8686) them, and shod <05274> (8686) them, and

gave them to eat <0398> (8686) and to drink <08248> (8686), and

anointed <05480> (8799) them, and carried <05095> (8762) all the

feeble <03782> (8802) of them upon asses <02543>, and brought

<0935> (8686) them to Jericho <03405>, the city <05892> of palm

trees <08558> (8677) <05899>, to <0681> their brethren <0251>:

then they returned <07725> (8799) to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 28:16 ¶ At that time <06256> did king <04428> Ahaz <0271>

send <07971> (8804) unto the kings <04428> of Assyria <0804> to

help <05826> (8800) him.

2Ch 28:17 For again the Edomites <0130> had come <0935> (8804)

and smitten <05221> (8686) Judah <03063>, and carried away

<07617> (8799) captives <07628>.

2Ch 28:18 The Philistines <06430> also had invaded <06584>

(8804) the cities <05892> of the low country <08219>, and of the

south <05045> of Judah <03063>, and had taken <03920> (8799)

Bethshemesh <01053>, and Ajalon <0357>, and Gederoth <01450>,

and Shocho <07755> with the villages <01323> thereof, and Timnah

<08553> with the villages <01323> thereof, Gimzo <01579> also

and the villages <01323> thereof: and they dwelt <03427> (8799)

there.

2Ch 28:19 For the LORD <03068> brought <03665> <00> Judah

<03063> low <03665> (8689) because of Ahaz <0271> king <04428>

of Israel <03478>; for he made <06544> <00> Judah <03063> naked

<06544> (8689), and transgressed <04603> (8800) sore <04604>

against the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 28:20 And Tilgathpilneser <08407> king <04428> of Assyria

<0804> came <0935> (8799) unto him, and distressed <06696>

(8799) him, but strengthened <02388> (8804) him not.

2Ch 28:21 For Ahaz <0271> took away a portion <02505> (8804)

out of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and out of the

house <01004> of the king <04428>, and of the princes <08269>,

and gave <05414> (8799) it unto the king <04428> of Assyria

<0804>: but he helped <05833> him not.

2Ch 28:22 And in the time <06256> of his distress <06887>

(8687) did he trespass <04603> (8800) yet more <03254> (8686)

against the LORD <03068>: this is that king <04428> Ahaz <0271>.

2Ch 28:23 For he sacrificed <02076> (8799) unto the gods <0430>

of Damascus <01834>, which smote <05221> (8688) him: and he said

<0559> (8799), Because the gods <0430> of the kings <04428> of

Syria <0758> help <05826> (8688) them, therefore will I

sacrifice <02076> (8762) to them, that they may help <05826>

(8799) me. But they were the ruin <03782> (8687) of him, and of

all Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:24 And Ahaz <0271> gathered together <0622> (8799) the

vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of God <0430>, and cut in

pieces <07112> (8762) the vessels <03627> of the house <01004>

of God <0430>, and shut up <05462> (8799) the doors <01817> of

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and he made <06213>

(8799) him altars <04196> in every corner <06438> of Jerusalem

<03389>.

2Ch 28:25 And in every several city <05892> of Judah <03063> he

made <06213> (8804) high places <01116> to burn incense <06999>

(8763) unto other <0312> gods <0430>, and provoked to anger

<03707> (8686) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 28:26 Now the rest <03499> of his acts <01697> and of all

his ways <01870>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, they

are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings

<04428> of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:27 And Ahaz <0271> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers

<01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892>,

even in Jerusalem <03389>: but they brought <0935> (8689) him

not into the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428> of Israel

<03478>: and Hezekiah <03169> his son <01121> reigned <04427>

(8799) in his stead.

2Ch 29:01 ¶ Hezekiah <03169> began to reign <04427> (8804) when

he was five <02568> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121>,

and he reigned <04427> (8804) nine <08672> and twenty <06242>

years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother’s <0517> name

<08034> was Abijah <029>, the daughter <01323> of Zechariah

<02148>.

2Ch 29:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right

<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, according to

all that David <01732> his father <01> had done <06213> (8804).

2Ch 29:03 He in the first <07223> year <08141> of his reign

<04427> (8800), in the first <07223> month <02320>, opened

<06605> (8804) the doors <01817> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, and repaired <02388> (8762) them.

2Ch 29:04 And he brought in <0935> (8686) the priests <03548>

and the Levites <03881>, and gathered them together <0622>

(8799) into the east <04217> street <07339>,

2Ch 29:05 And said <0559> (8799) unto them, Hear <08085> (8798)

me, ye Levites <03881>, sanctify <06942> (8690) now yourselves,

and sanctify <06942> (8761) the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, and carry forth <03318>

(8685) the filthiness <05079> out of the holy <06944> place.

2Ch 29:06 For our fathers <01> have trespassed <04603> (8804),

and done <06213> (8804) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes

<05869> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, and have forsaken

<05800> (8799) him, and have turned away <05437> (8686) their

faces <06440> from the habitation <04908> of the LORD <03068>,

and turned <05414> (8799) their backs <06203>.

2Ch 29:07 Also they have shut up <05462> (8804) the doors

<01817> of the porch <0197>, and put out <03518> (8762) the

lamps <05216>, and have not burned <06999> (8689) incense

<07004> nor offered <05927> (8689) burnt offerings <05930> in

the holy <06944> place unto the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 29:08 Wherefore the wrath <07110> of the LORD <03068> was

upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, and he hath delivered

<05414> (8799) them to trouble <02189> (8675) <02113>, to

astonishment <08047>, and to hissing <08322>, as ye see <07200>

(8802) with your eyes <05869>.

2Ch 29:09 For, lo, our fathers <01> have fallen <05307> (8804)

by the sword <02719>, and our sons <01121> and our daughters

<01323> and our wives <0802> are in captivity <07628> for this.

2Ch 29:10 Now it is in mine heart <03824> to make <03772>

(8800) a covenant <01285> with the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

Israel <03478>, that his fierce <02740> wrath <0639> may turn

away <07725> (8799) from us.

2Ch 29:11 My sons <01121>, be not now negligent <07952> (8735):

for the LORD <03068> hath chosen <0977> (8804) you to stand

<05975> (8800) before <06440> him, to serve <08334> (8763) him,

and that ye should minister <08334> (8764) unto him, and burn

incense <06999> (8688).

2Ch 29:12 ¶ Then the Levites <03881> arose <06965> (8799),

Mahath <04287> the son <01121> of Amasai <06022>, and Joel

<03100> the son <01121> of Azariah <05838>, of the sons <01121>

of the Kohathites <06956>: and of the sons <01121> of Merari

<04847>, Kish <07027> the son <01121> of Abdi <05660>, and

Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Jehalelel <03094>: and of the

Gershonites <01649>; Joah <03098> the son <01121> of Zimmah

<02155>, and Eden <05731> the son <01121> of Joah <03098>:

2Ch 29:13 And of the sons <01121> of Elizaphan <0469>; Shimri

<08113>, and Jeiel <03273>: and of the sons <01121> of Asaph

<0623>; Zechariah <02148>, and Mattaniah <04983>:

2Ch 29:14 And of the sons <01121> of Heman <01968>; Jehiel

<03171>, and Shimei <08096>: and of the sons <01121> of Jeduthun

<03038>; Shemaiah <08098>, and Uzziel <05816>.

2Ch 29:15 And they gathered <0622> (8799) their brethren <0251>,

and sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves, and came <0935>

(8799), according to the commandment <04687> of the king <04428>,

by the words <01697> of the LORD <03068>, to cleanse <02891>

(8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:16 And the priests <03548> went <0935> (8799) into the

inner part <06441> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, to

cleanse <02891> (8763) it, and brought out <03318> (8686) all

the uncleanness <02932> that they found <04672> (8804) in the

temple <01964> of the LORD <03068> into the court <02691> of the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And the Levites <03881> took

<06901> (8762) it, to carry it out <03318> (8687) abroad <02351>

into the brook <05158> Kidron <06939>.

2Ch 29:17 Now they began <02490> (8686) on the first <0259> day

of the first <07223> month <02320> to sanctify <06942> (8763),

and on the eighth <08083> day <03117> of the month <02320> came

<0935> (8804) they to the porch <0197> of the LORD <03068>: so

they sanctified <06942> (8762) the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> in eight <08083> days <03117>; and in the sixteenth

<08337> <06240> day of the first <07223> month <02320> they made

an end <03615> (8765).

2Ch 29:18 Then they went <0935> (8799) in <06441> to Hezekiah

<02396> the king <04428>, and said <0559> (8799), We have

cleansed <02891> (8765) all the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068>, and the altar <04196> of burnt offering <05930>, with

all the vessels <03627> thereof, and the shewbread <04635> table

<07979>, with all the vessels <03627> thereof.

2Ch 29:19 Moreover all the vessels <03627>, which king <04428>

Ahaz <0271> in his reign <04438> did cast away <02186> (8689) in

his transgression <04604>, have we prepared <03559> (8689) and

sanctified <06942> (8689), and, behold, they are before <06440>

the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:20 ¶ Then Hezekiah <03169> the king <04428> rose early

<07925> (8686), and gathered <0622> (8799) the rulers <08269> of

the city <05892>, and went up <05927> (8799) to the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:21 And they brought <0935> (8686) seven <07651> bullocks

<06499>, and seven <07651> rams <0352>, and seven <07651> lambs

<03532>, and seven <07651> he <06842> goats <05795>, for a sin

offering <02403> for the kingdom <04467>, and for the sanctuary

<04720>, and for Judah <03063>. And he commanded <0559> (8799)

the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> to offer

<05927> (8687) them on the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:22 So they killed <07819> (8799) the bullocks <01241>,

and the priests <03548> received <06901> (8762) the blood

<01818>, and sprinkled <02236> (8799) it on the altar <04196>:

likewise, when they had killed <07819> (8799) the rams <0352>,

they sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood <01818> upon the altar

<04196>: they killed <07819> (8799) also the lambs <03532>, and

they sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood <01818> upon the altar

<04196>.

2Ch 29:23 And they brought forth <05066> (8686) the he goats

<08163> for the sin offering <02403> before <06440> the king

<04428> and the congregation <06951>; and they laid <05564>

(8799) their hands <03027> upon them:

2Ch 29:24 And the priests <03548> killed <07819> (8799) them,

and they made reconciliation <02398> (8762) with their blood

<01818> upon the altar <04196>, to make an atonement <03722>

(8763) for all Israel <03478>: for the king <04428> commanded

<0559> (8804) that the burnt offering <05930> and the sin

offering <02403> should be made for all Israel <03478>.

2Ch 29:25 And he set <05975> (8686) the Levites <03881> in the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068> with cymbals <04700>, with

psalteries <05035>, and with harps <03658>, according to the

commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and of Gad <01410> the

king’s <04428> seer <02374>, and Nathan <05416> the prophet

<05030>: for so was the commandment <04687> of <03027> the LORD

<03068> by <03027> his prophets <05030>.

2Ch 29:26 And the Levites <03881> stood <05975> (8799) with the

instruments <03627> of David <01732>, and the priests <03548>

with the trumpets <02689>.

2Ch 29:27 And Hezekiah <02396> commanded <0559> (8799) to offer

<05927> (8687) the burnt offering <05930> upon the altar <04196>.

And when <06256> the burnt offering <05930> began <02490>

(8689), the song <07892> of the LORD <03068> began <02490>

(8689) also with the trumpets <02689>, and with the instruments

<03627> ordained by <03027> David <01732> king <04428> of Israel

<03478>.

2Ch 29:28 And all the congregation <06951> worshipped <07812>

(8693), and the singers <07892> sang <07891> (8789), and the

trumpeters <02689> sounded <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764):

and all this continued until the burnt offering <05930> was

finished <03615> (8800).

2Ch 29:29 And when they had made an end <03615> (8763) of

offering <05927> (8687), the king <04428> and all that were

present <04672> (8737) with him bowed <03766> (8804) themselves,

and worshipped <07812> (8691).

2Ch 29:30 Moreover Hezekiah <03169> the king <04428> and the

princes <08269> commanded <0559> (8799) the Levites <03881> to

sing praise <01984> (8763) unto the LORD <03068> with the words

<01697> of David <01732>, and of Asaph <0623> the seer <02374>.

And they sang praises <01984> (8762) with gladness <08057>, and

they bowed their heads <06915> (8799) and worshipped <07812>

(8691).

2Ch 29:31 Then Hezekiah <03169> answered <06030> (8799) and

said <0559> (8799), Now ye have consecrated <04390> (8765)

<03027> yourselves unto the LORD <03068>, come near <05066>

(8798) and bring <0935> (8685) sacrifices <02077> and thank

offerings <08426> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

And the congregation <06951> brought in <0935> (8686) sacrifices

<02077> and thank offerings <08426>; and as many as were of a

free <05081> heart <03820> burnt offerings <05930>.

2Ch 29:32 And the number <04557> of the burnt offerings <05930>,

which the congregation <06951> brought <0935> (8689), was

threescore and ten <07657> bullocks <01241>, an hundred <03967>

rams <0352>, and two hundred <03967> lambs <03532>: all these

were for a burnt offering <05930> to the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:33 And the consecrated things <06944> were six <08337>

hundred <03967> oxen <01241> and three <07969> thousand <0505>

sheep <06629>.

2Ch 29:34 But the priests <03548> were too few <04592>, so that

they could <03201> (8804) not flay <06584> (8687) all the burnt

offerings <05930>: wherefore their brethren <0251> the Levites

<03881> did help <02388> (8762) them, till the work <04399> was

ended <03615> (8800), and until the other priests <03548> had

sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves: for the Levites <03881>

were more upright <03477> in heart <03824> to sanctify <06942>

(8692) themselves than the priests <03548>.

2Ch 29:35 And also the burnt offerings <05930> were in

abundance <07230>, with the fat <02459> of the peace offerings

<08002>, and the drink offerings <05262> for every burnt

offering <05930>. So the service <05656> of the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068> was set in order <03559> (8735).

2Ch 29:36 And Hezekiah <03169> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and all

the people <05971>, that God <0430> had prepared <03559> (8689)

the people <05971>: for the thing <01697> was done suddenly

<06597>.

2Ch 30:01 ¶ And Hezekiah <03169> sent <07971> (8799) to all

Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>, and wrote <03789> (8804)

letters <0107> also to Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519>, that

they should come <0935> (8800) to the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> at Jerusalem <03389>, to keep <06213> (8800) the

passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>.

2Ch 30:02 For the king <04428> had taken counsel <03289> (8735),

and his princes <08269>, and all the congregation <06951> in

Jerusalem <03389>, to keep <06213> (8800) the passover <06453>

in the second <08145> month <02320>.

2Ch 30:03 For they could <03201> (8804) not keep <06213> (8800)

it at that time <06256>, because the priests <03548> had not

sanctified <06942> (8694) themselves sufficiently <04078> (8676)

<01767>, neither had the people <05971> gathered themselves

together <0622> (8738) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 30:04 And the thing <01697> pleased <03474> (8799) <05869>

the king <04428> and all the congregation <06951>.

2Ch 30:05 So they established <05975> (8686) a decree <01697>

to make proclamation <05674> (8687) <06963> throughout all

Israel <03478>, from Beersheba <0884> even to Dan <01835>, that

they should come <0935> (8800) to keep <06213> (8800) the

passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478> at Jerusalem <03389>: for they had not done <06213>

(8804) it of a long <07230> time in such sort as it was written

<03789> (8803).

2Ch 30:06 So the posts <07323> (8801) went <03212> (8799) with

the letters <0107> from <03027> the king <04428> and his princes

<08269> throughout all Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>, and

according to the commandment <04687> of the king <04428>, saying

<0559> (8800), Ye children <01121> of Israel <03478>, turn again

<07725> (8798) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Abraham <085>,

Isaac <03327>, and Israel <03478>, and he will return <07725>

(8799) to the remnant <07604> (8737) of you, that are escaped

<06413> out of the hand <03709> of the kings <04428> of Assyria

<0804>.

2Ch 30:07 And be not ye like your fathers <01>, and like your

brethren <0251>, which trespassed <04603> (8804) against the

LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, who therefore

gave them up <05414> (8799) to desolation <08047>, as ye see

<07200> (8802).

2Ch 30:08 Now be ye not stiffnecked <07185> (8686) <06203>, as

your fathers <01> were, but yield <05414> (8798) yourselves

<03027> unto the LORD <03068>, and enter <0935> (8798) into his

sanctuary <04720>, which he hath sanctified <06942> (8689) for

ever <05769>: and serve <05647> (8798) the LORD <03068> your God

<0430>, that the fierceness <02740> of his wrath <0639> may turn

away <07725> (8799) from you.

2Ch 30:09 For if ye turn again <07725> (8800) unto the LORD

<03068>, your brethren <0251> and your children <01121> shall

find compassion <07356> before <06440> them that lead them

captive <07617> (8802), so that they shall come again <07725>

(8800) into this land <0776>: for the LORD <03068> your God

<0430> is gracious <02587> and merciful <07349>, and will not

turn away <05493> (8686) his face <06440> from you, if ye return

<07725> (8799) unto him.

2Ch 30:10 So the posts <07323> (8801) passed <05674> (8802)

from city <05892> to city <05892> through the country <0776> of

Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519> even unto Zebulun <02074>:

but they laughed them to scorn <07832> (8688), and mocked

<03932> (8688) them.

2Ch 30:11 Nevertheless divers <0582> of Asher <0836> and

Manasseh <04519> and of Zebulun <02074> humbled <03665> (8738)

themselves, and came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 30:12 Also in Judah <03063> the hand <03027> of God <0430>

was to give <05414> (8800) them one <0259> heart <03820> to do

<06213> (8800) the commandment <04687> of the king <04428> and

of the princes <08269>, by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:13 ¶ And there assembled <0622> (8735) at Jerusalem

<03389> much <07227> people <05971> to keep <06213> (8800) the

feast <02282> of unleavened bread <04682> in the second <08145>

month <02320>, a very <03966> great <07230> congregation <06951>.

2Ch 30:14 And they arose <06965> (8799) and took away <05493>

(8686) the altars <04196> that were in Jerusalem <03389>, and

all the altars for incense <06999> took they away <05493> (8689),

and cast <07993> (8686) them into the brook <05158> Kidron

<06939>.

2Ch 30:15 Then they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453>

on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day of the second <08145> month

<02320>: and the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> were

ashamed <03637> (8738), and sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves,

and brought in <0935> (8686) the burnt offerings <05930> into

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:16 And they stood <05975> (8799) in their place <05977>

after their manner <04941>, according to the law <08451> of

Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God <0430>: the priests <03548>

sprinkled <02236> (8802) the blood <01818>, which they received

of the hand <03027> of the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 30:17 For there were many <07227> in the congregation

<06951> that were not sanctified <06942> (8694): therefore the

Levites <03881> had the charge of the killing <07821> of the

passovers <06453> for every one that was not clean <02889>, to

sanctify <06942> (8687) them unto the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:18 For a multitude <04768> of the people <05971>, even

many <07227> of Ephraim <0669>, and Manasseh <04519>, Issachar

<03485>, and Zebulun <02074>, had not <03808> cleansed <02891>

(8694) themselves, yet did they eat <0398> (8804) the passover

<06453> otherwise than it was written <03789> (8803). But

Hezekiah <03169> prayed <06419> (8694) for them, saying <0559>

(8800), The good <02896> LORD <03068> pardon <03722> (8762)

every one

2Ch 30:19 That prepareth <03559> (8689) his heart <03824> to

seek <01875> (8800) God <0430>, the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

his fathers <01>, though he be not cleansed according to the

purification <02893> of the sanctuary <06944>.

2Ch 30:20 And the LORD <03068> hearkened <08085> (8799) to

Hezekiah <03169>, and healed <07495> (8799) the people <05971>.

2Ch 30:21 ¶ And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> that were

present <04672> (8737) at Jerusalem <03389> kept <06213> (8799)

the feast <02282> of unleavened bread <04682> seven <07651> days

<03117> with great <01419> gladness <08057>: and the Levites

<03881> and the priests <03548> praised <01984> (8764) the LORD

<03068> day <03117> by day <03117>, singing with loud <05797>

instruments <03627> unto the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:22 And Hezekiah <03169> spake <01696> (8762) comfortably

<03820> unto all the Levites <03881> that taught <07919> (8688)

the good <02896> knowledge <07922> of the LORD <03068>: and they

did eat <0398> (8799) throughout the feast <04150> seven <07651>

days <03117>, offering <02076> (8764) peace <08002> offerings

<02077>, and making confession <03034> (8693) to the LORD

<03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 30:23 And the whole assembly <06951> took counsel <03289>

(8735) to keep <06213> (8800) other <0312> seven <07651> days

<03117>: and they kept <06213> (8799) other seven <07651> days

<03117> with gladness <08057>.

2Ch 30:24 For Hezekiah <02396> king <04428> of Judah <03063>

did give <07311> (8689) to the congregation <06951> a thousand

<0505> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> thousand <0505> sheep

<06629>; and the princes <08269> gave <07311> (8689) to the

congregation <06951> a thousand <0505> bullocks <06499> and ten

<06235> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>: and a great number

<07230> of priests <03548> sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves.

2Ch 30:25 And all the congregation <06951> of Judah <03063>,

with the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and all the

congregation <06951> that came out <0935> (8802) of Israel

<03478>, and the strangers <01616> that came out <0935> (8802)

of the land <0776> of Israel <03478>, and that dwelt <03427>

(8802) in Judah <03063>, rejoiced <08055> (8799).

2Ch 30:26 So there was great <01419> joy <08057> in Jerusalem

<03389>: for since the time <03117> of Solomon <08010> the son

<01121> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478> there

was not the like in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 30:27 Then the priests <03548> the Levites <03881> arose

<06965> (8799) and blessed <01288> (8762) the people <05971>:

and their voice <06963> was heard <08085> (8735), and their

prayer <08605> came <0935> (8799) up to his holy <06944>

dwelling place <04583>, even unto heaven <08064>.

2Ch 31:01 ¶ Now when all this was finished <03615> (8763), all

Israel <03478> that were present <04672> (8737) went out <03318>

(8804) to the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and brake <07665>

<00> the images <04676> in pieces <07665> (8762), and cut down

<01438> (8762) the groves <0842>, and threw down <05422> (8762)

the high places <01116> and the altars <04196> out of all Judah

<03063> and Benjamin <01144>, in Ephraim <0669> also and

Manasseh <04519>, until they had utterly destroyed <03615>

(8763) them all. Then all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>

returned <07725> (8799), every man <0376> to his possession

<0272>, into their own cities <05892>.

2Ch 31:02 And Hezekiah <03169> appointed <05975> (8686) the

courses <04256> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>

after their courses <04256>, every man <0376> according <06310>

to his service <05656>, the priests <03548> and Levites <03881>

for burnt offerings <05930> and for peace offerings <08002>, to

minister <08334> (8763), and to give thanks <03034> (8687), and

to praise <01984> (8763) in the gates <08179> of the tents

<04264> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:03 He appointed also the king’s <04428> portion <04521>

of his substance <07399> for the burnt offerings <05930>, to wit,

for the morning <01242> and evening <06153> burnt offerings

<05930>, and the burnt offerings <05930> for the sabbaths

<07676>, and for the new moons <02320>, and for the set feasts

<04150>, as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of

the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:04 Moreover he commanded <0559> (8799) the people

<05971> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem <03389> to give

<05414> (8800) the portion <04521> of the priests <03548> and

the Levites <03881>, that they might be encouraged <02388>

(8799) in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:05 And as soon as the commandment <01697> came abroad

<06555> (8800), the children <01121> of Israel <03478> brought

<0935> (8689) in abundance <07235> (8689) the firstfruits

<07225> of corn <01715>, wine <08492>, and oil <03323>, and

honey <01706>, and of all the increase <08393> of the field

<07704>; and the tithe <04643> of all things brought <0935>

(8689) they in abundantly <07230>.

2Ch 31:06 And concerning the children <01121> of Israel <03478>

and Judah <03063>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the cities

<05892> of Judah <03063>, they also brought in <0935> (8689) the

tithe <04643> of oxen <01241> and sheep <06629>, and the tithe

<04643> of holy things <06944> which were consecrated <06942>

(8794) unto the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and laid <05414>

(8799) them by heaps <06194> <06194>.

2Ch 31:07 In the third <07992> month <02320> they began <02490>

(8689) to lay the foundation <03245> (8800) of the heaps <06194>,

and finished <03615> (8765) them in the seventh <07637> month

<02320>.

2Ch 31:08 And when Hezekiah <03169> and the princes <08269>

came <0935> (8799) and saw <07200> (8799) the heaps <06194>,

they blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068>, and his people

<05971> Israel <03478>.

2Ch 31:09 Then Hezekiah <03169> questioned <01875> (8799) with

the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> concerning the heaps

<06194>.

2Ch 31:10 And Azariah <05838> the chief <07218> priest <03548>

of the house <01004> of Zadok <06659> answered <0559> (8799) him,

and said <0559> (8799), Since the people began <02490> (8687)

to bring <0935> (8687) the offerings <08641> into the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068>, we have had enough <07646> (8800)

to eat <0398> (8800), and have left <03498> (8687) plenty

<07230>: for the LORD <03068> hath blessed <01288> (8765) his

people <05971>; and that which is left <03498> (8737) is this

great store <01995>.

2Ch 31:11 ¶ Then Hezekiah <03169> commanded <0559> (8799) to

prepare <03559> (8687) chambers <03957> in the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>; and they prepared <03559> (8686) them,

2Ch 31:12 And brought in <0935> (8686) the offerings <08641>

and the tithes <04643> and the dedicated <06944> things

faithfully <0530>: over which Cononiah <03562> the Levite

<03881> was ruler <05057>, and Shimei <08096> his brother <0251>

was the next <04932>.

2Ch 31:13 And Jehiel <03171>, and Azaziah <05812>, and Nahath

<05184>, and Asahel <06214>, and Jerimoth <03406>, and Jozabad

<03107>, and Eliel <0447>, and Ismachiah <03253>, and Mahath

<04287>, and Benaiah <01141>, were overseers <06496> under the

hand <03027> of Cononiah <03562> and Shimei <08096> his brother

<0251>, at the commandment <04662> of Hezekiah <03169> the king

<04428>, and Azariah <05838> the ruler <05057> of the house

<01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 31:14 And Kore <06981> the son <01121> of Imnah <03232> the

Levite <03881>, the porter <07778> toward the east <04217>, was

over the freewill offerings <05071> of God <0430>, to distribute

<05414> (8800) the oblations <08641> of the LORD <03068>, and

the most <06944> holy things <06944>.

2Ch 31:15 And next him were Eden <05731>, and Miniamin <04509>,

and Jeshua <03442>, and Shemaiah <08098>, Amariah <0568>, and

Shecaniah <07935>, in the cities <05892> of the priests <03548>,

in their set office <0530>, to give <05414> (8800) to their

brethren <0251> by <03027> courses <04256>, as well to the great

<01419> as to the small <06996>:

2Ch 31:16 Beside their genealogy <03187> (8692) of males

<02145>, from three <07969> years <08141> old <01121> and upward

<04605>, even unto every one that entereth <0935> (8802) into

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, his daily <03117> <03117>

portion <01697> for their service <05656> in their charges

<04931> according to their courses <04256>;

2Ch 31:17 Both to the genealogy <03187> (8692) of the priests

<03548> by the house <01004> of their fathers <01>, and the

Levites <03881> from twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121>

and upward <04605>, in their charges <04931> by their courses

<04256>;

2Ch 31:18 And to the genealogy <03187> (8692) of all their

little ones <02945>, their wives <0802>, and their sons <01121>,

and their daughters <01323>, through all the congregation

<06951>: for in their set office <0530> they sanctified <06942>

(8691) themselves in holiness <06944>:

2Ch 31:19 Also of the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> the priests

<03548>, which were in the fields <07704> of the suburbs <04054>

of their cities <05892>, in every several city <05892>, the men

<0582> that were expressed <05344> (8738) by name <08034>, to

give <05414> (8800) portions <04490> to all the males <02145>

among the priests <03548>, and to all that were reckoned by

genealogies <03187> (8692) among the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 31:20 And thus did <06213> (8799) Hezekiah <03169>

throughout all Judah <03063>, and wrought <06213> (8799) that

which was good <02896> and right <03477> and truth <0571> before

<06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 31:21 And in every work <04639> that he began <02490>

(8689) in the service <05656> of the house <01004> of God <0430>,

and in the law <08451>, and in the commandments <04687>, to

seek <01875> (8800) his God <0430>, he did <06213> (8804) it

with all his heart <03824>, and prospered <06743> (8689).

2Ch 32:01 ¶ After <0310> these things <01697>, and the

establishment <0571> thereof, Sennacherib <05576> king <04428>

of Assyria <0804> came <0935> (8804), and entered <0935> (8799)

into Judah <03063>, and encamped <02583> (8799) against the

fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892>, and thought <0559> (8799)

to win <01234> (8800) them for himself.

2Ch 32:02 And when Hezekiah <03169> saw <07200> (8799) that

Sennacherib <05576> was come <0935> (8804), and that he was

purposed <06440> to fight <04421> against Jerusalem <03389>,

2Ch 32:03 He took counsel <03289> (8735) with his princes

<08269> and his mighty men <01368> to stop <05640> (8800) the

waters <04325> of the fountains <05869> which were without

<02351> the city <05892>: and they did help <05826> (8799) him.

2Ch 32:04 So there was gathered <06908> <00> much <07227>

people <05971> together <06908> (8735), who stopped <05640>

(8799) all the fountains <04599>, and the brook <05158> that ran

<07857> (8802) through the midst <08432> of the land <0776>,

saying <0559> (8800), Why should the kings <04428> of Assyria

<0804> come <0935> (8799), and find <04672> (8804) much <07227>

water <04325>?

2Ch 32:05 Also he strengthened <02388> (8691) himself, and

built up <01129> (8799) all the wall <02346> that was broken

<06555> (8803), and raised it up <05927> (8686) to the towers

<04026>, and another <0312> wall <02346> without <02351>, and

repaired <02388> (8762) Millo <04407> in the city <05892> of

David <01732>, and made <06213> (8799) darts <07973> and shields

<04043> in abundance <07230>.

2Ch 32:06 And he set <05414> (8799) captains <08269> of war

<04421> over the people <05971>, and gathered them together

<06908> (8799) to him in the street <07339> of the gate <08179>

of the city <05892>, and spake <01696> (8762) comfortably

<03824> to them, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 32:07 Be strong <02388> (8798) and courageous <0553> (8798),

be not afraid <03372> (8799) nor dismayed <02865> (8735) for

<06440> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, nor for all the

multitude <01995> that is with him: for there be more <07227>

with us than with him:

2Ch 32:08 With him is an arm <02220> of flesh <01320>; but with

us is the LORD <03068> our God <0430> to help <05826> (8800) us,

and to fight <03898> (8736) our battles <04421>. And the people

<05971> rested <05564> (8735) themselves upon the words <01697>

of Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 32:09 ¶ After <0310> this did Sennacherib <05576> king

<04428> of Assyria <0804> send <07971> (8804) his servants

<05650> to Jerusalem <03389>, (but he himself laid siege against

Lachish <03923>, and all his power <04475> with him,) unto

Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and unto all

Judah <03063> that were at Jerusalem <03389>, saying <0559>

(8800),

2Ch 32:10 Thus saith <0559> (8804) Sennacherib <05576> king

<04428> of Assyria <0804>, Whereon do ye trust <0982> (8802),

that ye abide <03427> (8802) in the siege <04692> in Jerusalem

<03389>?

2Ch 32:11 Doth not Hezekiah <03169> persuade <05496> (8688) you

to give <05414> (8800) over yourselves to die <04191> (8800) by

famine <07458> and by thirst <06772>, saying <0559> (8800), The

LORD <03068> our God <0430> shall deliver <05337> (8686) us out

of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>?

2Ch 32:12 Hath not the same Hezekiah <03169> taken away <05493>

(8689) his high places <01116> and his altars <04196>, and

commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>,

saying <0559> (8800), Ye shall worship <07812> (8691) before

<06440> one <0259> altar <04196>, and burn incense <06999>

(8686) upon it?

2Ch 32:13 Know <03045> (8799) ye not what I and my fathers <01>

have done <06213> (8804) unto all the people <05971> of other

lands <0776>? were the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> of

those lands <0776> any ways <03201> (8800) able <03201> (8804)

to deliver <05337> (8687) their lands <0776> out of mine hand

<03027>?

2Ch 32:14 Who was there among all the gods <0430> of those

nations <01471> that my fathers <01> utterly destroyed <02763>

(8689), that could <03201> (8804) deliver <05337> (8687) his

people <05971> out of mine hand <03027>, that your God <0430>

should be able <03201> (8799) to deliver <05337> (8687) you out

of mine hand <03027>?

2Ch 32:15 Now therefore let not <03808> Hezekiah <02396>

deceive <05377> (8686) you, nor persuade <05496> (8686) you on

this manner, neither yet believe <0539> (8686) him: for no god

<0433> of any nation <01471> or kingdom <04467> was able <03201>

(8799) to deliver <05337> (8687) his people <05971> out of mine

hand <03027>, and out of the hand <03027> of my fathers <01>:

how much less shall your God <0430> deliver <05337> (8686) you

out of mine hand <03027>?

2Ch 32:16 And his servants <05650> spake <01696> (8765) yet

more against the LORD <03068> God <0430>, and against his

servant <05650> Hezekiah <03169>.

2Ch 32:17 He wrote <03789> (8804) also letters <05612> to rail

<02778> (8763) on the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,

and to speak <0559> (8800) against him, saying <0559> (8800), As

the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> of other lands <0776>

have not delivered <05337> (8689) their people <05971> out of

mine hand <03027>, so shall not the God <0430> of Hezekiah

<03169> deliver <05337> (8686) his people <05971> out of mine

hand <03027>.

2Ch 32:18 Then they cried <07121> (8799) with a loud <01419>

voice <06963> in the Jews’ speech <03066> unto the people

<05971> of Jerusalem <03389> that were on the wall <02346>, to

affright <03372> (8763) them, and to trouble <0926> (8763) them;

that they might take <03920> (8799) the city <05892>.

2Ch 32:19 And they spake <01696> (8762) against <05921> the God

<0430> of Jerusalem <03389>, as against the gods <0430> of the

people <05971> of the earth <0776>, which were the work <04639>

of the hands <03027> of man <0120>.

2Ch 32:20 And for this cause Hezekiah <03169> the king <04428>,

and the prophet <05030> Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz

<0531>, prayed <06419> (8691) and cried <02199> (8799) to heaven

<08064>.

2Ch 32:21 And the LORD <03068> sent <07971> (8799) an angel

<04397>, which cut off <03582> (8686) all the mighty men <01368>

of valour <02428>, and the leaders <05057> and captains <08269>

in the camp <04264> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>. So he

returned <07725> (8799) with shame <01322> of face <06440> to

his own land <0776>. And when he was come <0935> (8799) into the

house <01004> of his god <0430>, they that came forth <03329> of

his own bowels <04578> slew <05307> (8689) him there with the

sword <02719>.

2Ch 32:22 Thus the LORD <03068> saved <03467> (8686) Hezekiah

<03169> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>

from the hand <03027> of Sennacherib <05576> the king <04428> of

Assyria <0804>, and from the hand <03027> of all other, and

guided <05095> (8762) them on every side <05439>.

2Ch 32:23 And many <07227> brought <0935> (8688) gifts <04503>

unto the LORD <03068> to Jerusalem <03389>, and presents <04030>

to Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah <03063>: so that he

was magnified <05375> (8735) in the sight <05869> of all nations

<01471> from thenceforth <0310>.

2Ch 32:24 ¶ In those days <03117> Hezekiah <03169> was sick

<02470> (8804) to the death <04191> (8800), and prayed <06419>

(8691) unto the LORD <03068>: and he spake <0559> (8799) unto

him, and he gave <05414> (8804) him a sign <04159>.

2Ch 32:25 But Hezekiah <03169> rendered not again <07725>

(8689) according to the benefit <01576> done unto him; for his

heart <03820> was lifted up <01361> (8804): therefore there was

wrath <07110> upon him, and upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem

<03389>.

2Ch 32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah <03169> humbled <03665>

(8735) himself for the pride <01363> of his heart <03820>, both

he and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, so

that the wrath <07110> of the LORD <03068> came <0935> (8804)

not upon them in the days <03117> of Hezekiah <03169>.

2Ch 32:27 And Hezekiah <03169> had exceeding <03966> much

<07235> (8687) riches <06239> and honour <03519>: and he made

<06213> (8804) himself treasuries <0214> for silver <03701>, and

for gold <02091>, and for precious <03368> stones <068>, and for

spices <01314>, and for shields <04043>, and for all manner of

pleasant <02532> jewels <03627>;

2Ch 32:28 Storehouses <04543> also for the increase <08393> of

corn <01715>, and wine <08492>, and oil <03323>; and stalls

<0723> for all manner of beasts <0929>, and cotes <0220> for

flocks <05739>.

2Ch 32:29 Moreover he provided <06213> (8804) him cities

<05892>, and possessions <04735> of flocks <06629> and herds

<01241> in abundance <07230>: for God <0430> had given <05414>

(8804) him substance <07399> very <03966> much <07227>.

2Ch 32:30 This same Hezekiah <03169> also stopped <05640>

(8804) the upper <05945> watercourse <04161> <04325> of Gihon

<01521>, and brought it straight <03474> (8762) down <04295> to

the west side <04628> of the city <05892> of David <01732>. And

Hezekiah <03169> prospered <06743> (8686) in all his works

<04639>.

2Ch 32:31 Howbeit <03651> in the business of the ambassadors

<03887> (8688) of the princes <08269> of Babylon <0894>, who

sent <07971> (8764) unto him to enquire <01875> (8800) of the

wonder <04159> that was done in the land <0776>, God <0430> left

<05800> (8804) him, to try <05254> (8763) him, that he might

know <03045> (8800) all that was in his heart <03824>.

2Ch 32:32 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Hezekiah

<03169>, and his goodness <02617>, behold, they are written

<03789> (8803) in the vision <02377> of Isaiah <03470> the

prophet <05030>, the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, and in the book

<05612> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>.

2Ch 32:33 And Hezekiah <03169> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the chiefest

<04608> of the sepulchres <06913> of the sons <01121> of David

<01732>: and all Judah <03063> and the inhabitants <03427>

(8802) of Jerusalem <03389> did him <06213> (8804) honour

<03519> at his death <04194>. And Manasseh <04519> his son

<01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 33:01 ¶ Manasseh <04519> was twelve <08147> <06240> years

<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and

he reigned <04427> (8804) fifty <02572> and five <02568> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>:

2Ch 33:02 But did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in

the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, like unto the

abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471>, whom the LORD

<03068> had cast out <03423> (8689) before <06440> the children

<01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:03 For he built <01129> (8799) again <07725> (8799) the

high places <01116> which Hezekiah <03169> his father <01> had

broken down <05422> (8765), and he reared up <06965> (8686)

altars <04196> for Baalim <01168>, and made <06213> (8799)

groves <0842>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) all the host

<06635> of heaven <08064>, and served <05647> (8799) them.

2Ch 33:04 Also he built <01129> (8804) altars <04196> in the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, whereof the LORD <03068> had

said <0559> (8804), In Jerusalem <03389> shall my name <08034>

be for ever <05769>.

2Ch 33:05 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>.

2Ch 33:06 And he caused <05674> <00> his children <01121> to

pass through <05674> (8689) the fire <0784> in the valley

<01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>: also he observed

times <06049> (8782), and used enchantments <05172> (8765), and

used witchcraft <03784> (8765), and dealt <06213> (8804) with a

familiar spirit <0178>, and with wizards <03049>: he wrought

<06213> (8800) much <07235> (8689) evil <07451> in the sight

<05869> of the LORD <03068>, to provoke him to anger <03707>

(8687).

2Ch 33:07 And he set <07760> (8799) a carved image <06459>, the

idol <05566> which he had made <06213> (8804), in the house

<01004> of God <0430>, of which God <0430> had said <0559>

(8804) to David <01732> and to Solomon <08010> his son <01121>,

In this house <01004>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, which I have

chosen <0977> (8804) before all the tribes <07626> of Israel

<03478>, will I put <07760> (8799) my name <08034> for ever

<05865>:

2Ch 33:08 Neither will I any more <03254> (8686) remove <05493>

(8687) the foot <07272> of Israel <03478> from out <05921> of

the land <0127> which I have appointed <05975> (8689) for your

fathers <01>; so that <0518> they will take heed <08104> (8799)

to do <06213> (8800) all that I have commanded <06680> (8765)

them, according to the whole law <08451> and the statutes

<02706> and the ordinances <04941> by the hand <03027> of Moses

<04872>.

2Ch 33:09 So Manasseh <04519> made <08582> <00> Judah <03063>

and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to err

<08582> (8686), and to do <06213> (8800) worse <07451> than the

heathen <01471>, whom the LORD <03068> had destroyed <08045>

(8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:10 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) to Manasseh

<04519>, and to his people <05971>: but they would not hearken

<07181> (8689).

2Ch 33:11 ¶ Wherefore the LORD <03068> brought <0935> (8686)

upon them the captains of <08269> the host of <06635> the king

<04428> of Assyria <0804>, which took <03920> (8799) Manasseh

<04519> among the thorns <02336>, and bound him <0631> (8799)

with fetters <05178>, and carried <03212> (8686) him to Babylon

<0894>.

2Ch 33:12 And when he was in affliction <06887> (8687), he

besought <02470> (8765) the LORD <03068> his God <0430>, and

humbled <03665> (8735) himself greatly <03966> before <06440>

the God <0430> of his fathers <01>,

2Ch 33:13 And prayed <06419> (8691) unto him: and he was

intreated <06279> (8735) of him, and heard <08085> (8799) his

supplication <08467>, and brought him again <07725> (8686) to

Jerusalem <03389> into his kingdom <04438>. Then Manasseh

<04519> knew <03045> (8799) that the LORD <03068> he was God

<0430>.

2Ch 33:14 Now after this <0310> he built <01129> (8804) a wall

<02346> without <02435> the city <05892> of David <01732>, on

the west side <04628> of Gihon <01521>, in the valley <05158>,

even to the entering in <0935> (8800) at the fish <01709> gate

<08179>, and compassed <05437> (8804) about Ophel <06077>, and

raised it up <01361> (8686) a very great height <03966>, and put

<07760> (8799) captains <08269> of war <02428> in all the fenced

<01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 33:15 And he took away <05493> (8686) the strange <05236>

gods <0430>, and the idol <05566> out of the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>, and all the altars <04196> that he had built

<01129> (8804) in the mount <02022> of the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, and cast <07993> (8686)

them out <02351> of the city <05892>.

2Ch 33:16 And he repaired <01129> (8799) the altar <04196> of

the LORD <03068>, and sacrificed <02076> (8799) thereon peace

<08002> offerings <02077> and thank offerings <08426>, and

commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> to serve <05647> (8800)

the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:17 Nevertheless <061> the people <05971> did sacrifice

<02076> (8802) still in the high places <01116>, yet unto the

LORD <03068> their God <0430> only.

2Ch 33:18 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Manasseh

<04519>, and his prayer <08605> unto his God <0430>, and the

words <01697> of the seers <02374> that spake <01696> (8764) to

him in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel

<03478>, behold, they are written in the book <01697> of the

kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:19 His prayer <08605> also, and how God was intreated

<06279> (8736) of him, and all his sin <02403>, and his trespass

<04604>, and the places <04725> wherein he built <01129> (8804)

high places <01116>, and set up <05975> (8689) groves <0842> and

graven images <06456>, before <06440> he was humbled <03665>

(8736): behold, they are written <03789> (8803) among the

sayings <01697> of the seers <02374> (8676) <02335>.

2Ch 33:20 So Manasseh <04519> slept <07901> (8799) with his

fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in his own

house <01004>: and Amon <0526> his son <01121> reigned <04427>

(8799) in his stead.

2Ch 33:21 ¶ Amon <0526> was two <08147> and twenty <06242> years

<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and

reigned <04427> (8804) two <08147> years <08141> in Jerusalem

<03389>.

2Ch 33:22 But he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451>

in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, as did <06213> (8804)

Manasseh <04519> his father <01>: for Amon <0526> sacrificed

<02076> (8765) unto all the carved images <06456> which Manasseh

<04519> his father <01> had made <06213> (8804), and served

<05647> (8799) them;

2Ch 33:23 And humbled <03665> (8738) not himself before <06440>

the LORD <03068>, as Manasseh <04519> his father <01> had

humbled <03665> (8736) himself; but Amon <0526> trespassed

<0819> more and more <07235> (8689).

2Ch 33:24 And his servants <05650> conspired <07194> (8799)

against him, and slew <04191> (8686) him in his own house

<01004>.

2Ch 33:25 But the people <05971> of the land <0776> slew

<05221> (8686) all them that had conspired <07194> (8802)

against king <04428> Amon <0526>; and the people <05971> of the

land <0776> made <04427> <00> Josiah <02977> his son <01121>

king <04427> (8686) in his stead.

2Ch 34:01 ¶ Josiah <02977> was eight <08083> years <08141> old

<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned

<04427> (8804) in Jerusalem <03389> one <0259> and thirty

<07970> years <08141>.

2Ch 34:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right

<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and walked

<03212> (8799) in the ways <01870> of David <01732> his father

<01>, and declined <05493> (8804) neither to the right hand

<03225>, nor to the left <08040>.

2Ch 34:03 For in the eighth <08083> year <08141> of his reign

<04427> (8800), while he was yet young <05288>, he began <02490>

(8689) to seek <01875> (8800) after the God <0430> of David

<01732> his father <01>: and in the twelfth <08147> <06240> year

<08141> he began <02490> (8689) to purge <02891> (8763) Judah

<03063> and Jerusalem <03389> from the high places <01116>, and

the groves <0842>, and the carved images <06456>, and the molten

images <04541>.

2Ch 34:04 And they brake down <05422> (8762) the altars <04196>

of Baalim <01168> in his presence <06440>; and the images

<02553>, that were on high above them <04605>, he cut down

<01438> (8765); and the groves <0842>, and the carved images

<06456>, and the molten images <04541>, he brake in pieces

<07665> (8765), and made dust <01854> (8689) of them, and

strowed <02236> (8799) it upon <06440> the graves <06913> of

them that had sacrificed <02076> (8802) unto them.

2Ch 34:05 And he burnt <08313> (8804) the bones <06106> of the

priests <03548> upon their altars <04196>, and cleansed <02891>

(8762) Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:06 And so did he in the cities <05892> of Manasseh

<04519>, and Ephraim <0669>, and Simeon <08095>, even unto

Naphtali <05321>, with their mattocks <02719> round about

<05439>.

2Ch 34:07 And when he had broken down <05422> (8762) the altars

<04196> and the groves <0842>, and had beaten <03807> (8765) the

graven images <06456> into powder <01854> (8687), and cut down

<01438> (8765) all the idols <02553> throughout all the land

<0776> of Israel <03478>, he returned <07725> (8799) to

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:08 ¶ Now in the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141>

of his reign <04427> (8800), when he had purged <02891> (8763)

the land <0776>, and the house <01004>, he sent <07971> (8804)

Shaphan <08227> the son <01121> of Azaliah <0683>, and Maaseiah

<04641> the governor <08269> of the city <05892>, and Joah

<03098> the son <01121> of Joahaz <03099> the recorder <02142>

(8688), to repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD

<03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 34:09 And when they came <0935> (8799) to Hilkiah <02518>

the high <01419> priest <03548>, they delivered <05414> (8799)

the money <03701> that was brought <0935> (8716) into the house

<01004> of God <0430>, which the Levites <03881> that kept

<08104> (8802) the doors <05592> had gathered <0622> (8804) of

the hand <03027> of Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>, and of

all the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>, and of all Judah

<03063> and Benjamin <01144>; and they returned <07725> (8799)

(8675) <03427> (8802) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:10 And they put <05414> (8799) it in the hand <03027> of

the workmen <06213> (8802) <04399> that had the oversight

<06485> (8716) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and

they gave <05414> (8799) it to the workmen <06213> (8802)

<04399> that wrought <06213> (8802) in the house <01004> of the

LORD <03068>, to repair <0918> (8800) and amend <02388> (8763)

the house <01004>:

2Ch 34:11 Even to the artificers <02796> and builders <01129>

(8802) gave <05414> (8799) they it, to buy <07069> (8800) hewn

<04274> stone <068>, and timber <06086> for couplings <04226>,

and to floor <07136> (8763) the houses <01004> which the kings

<04428> of Judah <03063> had destroyed <07843> (8689).

2Ch 34:12 And the men <0582> did <06213> (8802) the work

<04399> faithfully <0530>: and the overseers <05329> (8763) of

them were Jahath <03189> and Obadiah <05662>, the Levites

<03881>, of the sons <01121> of Merari <04847>; and Zechariah

<02148> and Meshullam <04918>, of the sons of the Kohathites

<06956>, to set it forward <06485> (8716); and other of the

Levites <03881>, all that could skill <0995> (8688) of

instruments <03627> of musick <07892>.

2Ch 34:13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens <05449>,

and were overseers <05329> (8764) of all that wrought <06213>

(8802) the work <04399> in any manner of service <05656>: and of

the Levites <03881> there were scribes <05608> (8802), and

officers <07860> (8802), and porters <07778>.

2Ch 34:14 ¶ And when they brought out <03318> (8687) the money

<03701> that was brought into <0935> (8716) the house <01004> of

the LORD <03068>, Hilkiah <02518> the priest <03548> found

<04672> (8804) a book <05612> of the law <08451> of the LORD

<03068> given by <03027> Moses <04872>.

2Ch 34:15 And Hilkiah <02518> answered <06030> (8799) and said

<0559> (8799) to Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), I

have found <04672> (8804) the book <05612> of the law <08451> in

the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And Hilkiah <02518>

delivered <05414> (8799) the book <05612> to Shaphan <08227>.

2Ch 34:16 And Shaphan <08227> carried <0935> (8686) the book

<05612> to the king <04428>, and brought <07725> <00> the king

<04428> word <01697> back <07725> (8686) again, saying <0559>

(8800), All that was committed <05414> (8738) to <03027> thy

servants <05650>, they do <06213> (8802) it.

2Ch 34:17 And they have gathered together <05413> (8686) the

money <03701> that was found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004>

of the LORD <03068>, and have delivered <05414> (8799) it into

the hand <03027> of the overseers <06485> (8716), and to the

hand <03027> of the workmen <06213> (8802) <04399>.

2Ch 34:18 Then Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802) told

<05046> (8686) the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), Hilkiah

<02518> the priest <03548> hath given <05414> (8804) me a book

<05612>. And Shaphan <08227> read <07121> (8799) it before

<06440> the king <04428>.

2Ch 34:19 And it came to pass, when the king <04428> had heard

<08085> (8800) the words <01697> of the law <08451>, that he

rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>.

2Ch 34:20 And the king <04428> commanded <06680> (8762) Hilkiah

<02518>, and Ahikam <0296> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>,

and Abdon <05658> the son <01121> of Micah <04318>, and Shaphan

<08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), and Asaiah <06222> a servant

<05650> of the king’s <04428>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 34:21 Go <03212> (8798), enquire <01875> (8798) of the LORD

<03068> for me, and for them that are left <07604> (8737) in

Israel <03478> and in Judah <03063>, concerning the words

<01697> of the book <05612> that is found <04672> (8738): for

great <01419> is the wrath <02534> of the LORD <03068> that is

poured out <05413> (8738) upon us, because our fathers <01> have

not kept <08104> (8804) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, to

do <06213> (8800) after all that is written <03789> (8803) in

this book <05612>.

2Ch 34:22 And Hilkiah <02518>, and they that the king <04428>

had appointed, went <03212> (8799) to Huldah <02468> the

prophetess <05031>, the wife <0802> of Shallum <07967> the son

<01121> of Tikvath <08616> (8676) <08445>, the son <01121> of

Hasrah <02641>, keeper <08104> (8802) of the wardrobe <0899>;

(now she dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem <03389> in the

college <04932>:) and they spake <01696> (8762) to her to that

effect.

2Ch 34:23 And she answered <0559> (8799) them, Thus saith

<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,

Tell <0559> (8798) ye the man <0376> that sent <07971> (8804)

you to me,

2Ch 34:24 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I

will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon this place <04725>,

and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof, even all the

curses <0423> that are written <03789> (8803) in the book

<05612> which they have read <07121> (8804) before <06440> the

king <04428> of Judah <03063>:

2Ch 34:25 Because they have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and

have burned incense <06999> (8762) (8675) <06999> (8686) unto

other <0312> gods <0430>, that they might provoke me to anger

<03707> (8687) with all the works <04639> of their hands <03027>;

therefore my wrath <02534> shall be poured out <05413> (8799)

upon this place <04725>, and shall not be quenched <03518>

(8799).

2Ch 34:26 And as for <0413> the king <04428> of Judah <03063>,

who sent <07971> (8802) you to enquire <01875> (8800) of the

LORD <03068>, so shall ye say <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus saith

<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>

concerning the words <01697> which thou hast heard <08085>

(8804);

2Ch 34:27 Because thine heart <03824> was tender <07401> (8804),

and thou didst humble <03665> (8735) thyself before <06440> God

<0430>, when thou heardest <08085> (8800) his words <01697>

against this place <04725>, and against the inhabitants <03427>

(8802) thereof, and humbledst <03665> (8735) thyself before

<06440> me, and didst rend <07167> (8799) thy clothes <0899>,

and weep <01058> (8799) before <06440> me; I have even heard

<08085> (8804) thee also, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 34:28 Behold, I will gather <0622> (8802) thee to thy

fathers <01>, and thou shalt be gathered <0622> (8738) to thy

grave <06913> in peace <07965>, neither shall thine eyes <05869>

see <07200> (8799) all the evil <07451> that I will bring <0935>

(8688) upon this place <04725>, and upon the inhabitants <03427>

(8802) of the same. So they brought <07725> <00> the king

<04428> word <01697> again <07725> (8686).

2Ch 34:29 ¶ Then the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) and

gathered together <0622> (8799) all the elders <02205> of Judah

<03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:30 And the king <04428> went up <05927> (8799) into the

house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and all the men <0376> of

Judah <03063>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem

<03389>, and the priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, and

all the people <05971>, great <01419> and small <06996>: and he

read <07121> (8799) in their ears <0241> all the words <01697>

of the book <05612> of the covenant <01285> that was found

<04672> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 34:31 And the king <04428> stood <05975> (8799) in his

place <05977>, and made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> before

<06440> the LORD <03068>, to walk <03212> (8800) after <0310>

the LORD <03068>, and to keep <08104> (8800) his commandments

<04687>, and his testimonies <05715>, and his statutes <02706>,

with all his heart <03824>, and with all his soul <05315>, to

perform <06213> (8800) the words <01697> of the covenant <01285>

which are written <03789> (8803) in this book <05612>.

2Ch 34:32 And he caused all that were present <04672> (8737) in

Jerusalem <03389> and Benjamin <01144> to stand <05975> (8686)

to it. And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>

did <06213> (8799) according to the covenant <01285> of God

<0430>, the God <0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 34:33 And Josiah <02977> took away <05493> (8686) all the

abominations <08441> out of all the countries <0776> that

pertained to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and made

all that were present <04672> (8737) in Israel <03478> to serve

<05647> (8686), even to serve <05647> (8800) the LORD <03068>

their God <0430>. And all his days <03117> they departed <05493>

(8804) not from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, the God

<0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 35:01 ¶ Moreover Josiah <02977> kept <06213> (8799) a

passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> in Jerusalem <03389>: and

they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453> on the

fourteenth <0702> <06240> day of the first <07223> month <02320>.

2Ch 35:02 And he set <05975> (8686) the priests <03548> in

their charges <04931>, and encouraged <02388> (8762) them to the

service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>,

2Ch 35:03 And said <0559> (8799) unto the Levites <03881> that

taught <0995> (8688) (8675) <04000> all Israel <03478>, which

were holy <06918> unto the LORD <03068>, Put <05414> (8798) the

holy <06944> ark <0727> in the house <01004> which Solomon

<08010> the son <01121> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel

<03478> did build <01129> (8804); it shall not be a burden

<04853> upon your shoulders <03802>: serve <05647> (8798) now

the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and his people <05971> Israel

<03478>,

2Ch 35:04 And prepare <03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734)

yourselves by the houses <01004> of your fathers <01>, after

your courses <04256>, according to the writing <03791> of David

<01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, and according to the

writing <04385> of Solomon <08010> his son <01121>.

2Ch 35:05 And stand in <05975> (8798) the holy <06944> place

according to the divisions <06391> of the families <01004> of

the fathers <01> of your brethren <0251> the people <01121>

<05971>, and after the division <02515> of the families <01>

<01004> of the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 35:06 So kill <07819> (8798) the passover <06453>, and

sanctify <06942> (8690) yourselves, and prepare <03559> (8685)

your brethren <0251>, that they may do <06213> (8800) according

to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of

Moses <04872>.

2Ch 35:07 And Josiah <02977> gave <07311> (8686) to the people

<01121> <05971>, of the flock <06629>, lambs <03532> and kids

<01121> <05795>, all for the passover offerings <06453>, for all

that were present <04672> (8737), to the number <04557> of

thirty <07970> thousand <0505>, and three <07969> thousand

<0505> bullocks <01241>: these were of the king’s <04428>

substance <07399>.

2Ch 35:08 And his princes <08269> gave <07311> (8689) willingly

<05071> unto the people <05971>, to the priests <03548>, and to

the Levites <03881>: Hilkiah <02518> and Zechariah <02148> and

Jehiel <03171>, rulers <05057> of the house <01004> of God

<0430>, gave <05414> (8804) unto the priests <03548> for the

passover offerings <06453> two thousand <0505> and six <08337>

hundred <03967> small cattle, and three <07969> hundred <03967>

oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:09 Conaniah <03562> also, and Shemaiah <08098> and

Nethaneel <05417>, his brethren <0251>, and Hashabiah <02811>

and Jeiel <03273> and Jozabad <03107>, chief <08269> of the

Levites <03881>, gave <07311> (8689) unto the Levites <03881>

for passover offerings <06453> five <02568> thousand <0505>

small cattle, and five <02568> hundred <03967> oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:10 So the service <05656> was prepared <03559> (8735),

and the priests <03548> stood <05975> (8799) in their place

<05977>, and the Levites <03881> in their courses <04256>,

according to the king’s <04428> commandment <04687>.

2Ch 35:11 And they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453>,

and the priests <03548> sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood from

their hands <03027>, and the Levites <03881> flayed <06584>

(8688) them.

2Ch 35:12 And they removed <05493> (8686) the burnt offerings

<05930>, that they might give <05414> (8800) according to the

divisions <04653> of the families <01> <01004> of the people

<01121> <05971>, to offer <07126> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>,

as it is written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of Moses

<04872>. And so did they with the oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:13 And they roasted <01310> (8762) the passover <06453>

with fire <0784> according to the ordinance <04941>: but the

other holy <06944> offerings sod <01310> (8765) they in pots

<05518>, and in caldrons <01731>, and in pans <06745>, and

divided them speedily <07323> (8686) among all the people

<01121> <05971>.

2Ch 35:14 And afterward <0310> they made ready <03559> (8689)

for themselves, and for the priests <03548>: because the priests

<03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> were busied in offering

<05927> (8687) of burnt offerings <05930> and the fat <02459>

until night <03915>; therefore the Levites <03881> prepared

<03559> (8689) for themselves, and for the priests <03548> the

sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>.

2Ch 35:15 And the singers <07891> (8789) the sons <01121> of

Asaph <0623> were in their place <04612>, according to the

commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and Asaph <0623>, and

Heman <01968>, and Jeduthun <03038> the king’s <04428> seer

<02374>; and the porters <07778> waited at every gate <08179>;

they might not depart <05493> (8800) from their service <05656>;

for their brethren <0251> the Levites <03881> prepared <03559>

(8689) for them.

2Ch 35:16 So all the service <05656> of the LORD <03068> was

prepared <03559> (8735) the same day <03117>, to keep <06213>

(8800) the passover <06453>, and to offer <05927> (8687) burnt

offerings <05930> upon the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>,

according to the commandment <04687> of king <04428> Josiah

<02977>.

2Ch 35:17 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> that were

present <04672> (8737) kept <06213> (8799) the passover <06453>

at that time <06256>, and the feast <02282> of unleavened bread

<04682> seven <07651> days <03117>.

2Ch 35:18 And there was no passover <06453> like <03644> to

that kept <06213> (8738) in Israel <03478> from the days <03117>

of Samuel <08050> the prophet <05030>; neither did <06213>

(8804) all the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> keep <06213>

(8804) such a passover <06453> as Josiah <02977> kept <06213>

(8804), and the priests <03548>, and the Levites <03881>, and

all Judah <03063> and Israel <03478> that were present <04672>

(8737), and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 35:19 In the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141> of the

reign <04438> of Josiah <02977> was this passover <06453> kept

<06213> (8738).

2Ch 35:20 ¶ After <0310> all this, when Josiah <02977> had

prepared <03559> (8689) the temple <01004>, Necho <05224> king

<04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) to fight <03898>

(8736) against Carchemish <03751> by Euphrates <06578>: and

Josiah <02977> went out <03318> (8799) against <07125> (8800)

him.

2Ch 35:21 But he sent <07971> (8799) ambassadors <04397> to him,

saying <0559> (8800), What have I to do with thee, thou king

<04428> of Judah <03063>? I come not against thee this day

<03117>, but against the house <01004> wherewith I have war

<04421>: for God <0430> commanded <0559> (8804) me to make haste

<0926> (8763): forbear <02308> (8798) thee from meddling with

God <0430>, who is with me, that he destroy <07843> (8686) thee

not.

2Ch 35:22 Nevertheless Josiah <02977> would not turn <05437>

(8689) his face <06440> from him, but disguised <02664> (8694)

himself, that he might fight <03898> (8736) with him, and

hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto the words <01697> of Necho

<05224> from the mouth <06310> of God <0430>, and came <0935>

(8799) to fight <03898> (8736) in the valley <01237> of Megiddo

<04023>.

2Ch 35:23 And the archers <03384> (8802) shot <03384> (8686) at

king <04428> Josiah <02977>; and the king <04428> said <0559>

(8799) to his servants <05650>, Have me away <05674> (8685); for

I am sore <03966> wounded <02470> (8717).

2Ch 35:24 His servants <05650> therefore took <05674> (8686)

him out of that chariot <04818>, and put <07392> (8686) him in

the second <04932> chariot <07393> that he had; and they brought

<03212> (8686) him to Jerusalem <03389>, and he died <04191>

(8799), and was buried <06912> (8735) in one of the sepulchres

<06913> of his fathers <01>. And all Judah <03063> and Jerusalem

<03389> mourned <056> (8693) for Josiah <02977>.

2Ch 35:25 And Jeremiah <03414> lamented <06969> (8787) for

Josiah <02977>: and all the singing men <07891> (8802) and the

singing women <07891> (8802) spake <0559> (8799) of Josiah

<02977> in their lamentations <07015> to this day <03117>, and

made <05414> (8799) them an ordinance <02706> in Israel <03478>:

and, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the lamentations

<07015>.

2Ch 35:26 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Josiah

<02977>, and his goodness <02617>, according to that which was

written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>,

2Ch 35:27 And his deeds <01697>, first <07223> and last <0314>,

behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of

the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>.

2Ch 36:01 ¶ Then the people <05971> of the land <0776> took

<03947> (8799) Jehoahaz <03059> the son <01121> of Josiah

<02977>, and made him king <04427> (8686) in his father’s <01>

stead in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:02 Jehoahaz <03099> was twenty <06242> and three <07969>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> months <02320> in

Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:03 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> put him down

<05493> (8686) at Jerusalem <03389>, and condemned <06064>

(8799) the land <0776> in an hundred <03967> talents <03603> of

silver <03701> and a talent <03603> of gold <02091>.

2Ch 36:04 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> made Eliakim

<0471> his brother <0251> king <04427> (8686) over Judah <03063>

and Jerusalem <03389>, and turned <05437> (8686) his name

<08034> to Jehoiakim <03079>. And Necho <05224> took <03947>

(8804) Jehoahaz <03099> his brother <0251>, and carried <0935>

(8686) him to Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 36:05 Jehoiakim <03079> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and he reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> <06240> years

<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>: and he did <06213> (8799) that

which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>

his God <0430>.

2Ch 36:06 Against him came up <05927> (8804) Nebuchadnezzar

<05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and bound <0631> (8799)

him in fetters <05178>, to carry <03212> (8687) him to Babylon

<0894>.

2Ch 36:07 Nebuchadnezzar <05019> also carried <0935> (8689) of

the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> to

Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> (8799) them in his temple

<01964> at Babylon <0894>.

2Ch 36:08 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jehoiakim

<03079>, and his abominations <08441> which he did <06213>

(8804), and that which was found <04672> (8737) in him, behold,

they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings

<04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>: and Jehoiachin

<03078> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 36:09 Jehoiachin <03078> was eight <08083> years <08141>

old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he

reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> months <02320> and ten

<06235> days <03117> in Jerusalem <03389>: and he did <06213>

(8799) that which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the

LORD <03068>.

2Ch 36:10 And when the year <08141> was expired <08666>, king

<04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> sent <07971> (8804), and brought

<0935> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>, with the goodly <02532>

vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and

made Zedekiah <06667> his brother <0251> king <04427> (8686)

over Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:11 ¶ Zedekiah <06667> was one <0259> and twenty <06242>

years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800),

and reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> <06240> years <08141>

in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:12 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451>

in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>, and

humbled <03665> (8738) not himself before <06440> Jeremiah

<03414> the prophet <05030> speaking from the mouth <06310> of

the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 36:13 And he also rebelled <04775> (8804) against king

<04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019>, who had made him swear <07650>

(8689) by God <0430>: but he stiffened <07185> (8686) his neck

<06203>, and hardened <0553> (8762) his heart <03824> from

turning <07725> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of

Israel <03478>.

2Ch 36:14 Moreover all the chief <08269> of the priests <03548>,

and the people <05971>, transgressed <04603> (8800) very

<04604> much <07235> (8689) after all the abominations <08441>

of the heathen <01471>; and polluted <02930> (8762) the house

<01004> of the LORD <03068> which he had hallowed <06942> (8689)

in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:15 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>

sent <07971> (8799) to them by <03027> his messengers <04397>,

rising up betimes <07925> (8687), and sending <07971> (8800);

because he had compassion <02550> (8804) on his people <05971>,

and on his dwelling place <04583>:

2Ch 36:16 But they mocked <03931> (8688) the messengers <04397>

of God <0430>, and despised <0959> (8802) his words <01697>, and

misused <08591> (8700) his prophets <05030>, until the wrath

<02534> of the LORD <03068> arose <05927> (8800) against his

people <05971>, till there was no remedy <04832>.

2Ch 36:17 Therefore he brought <05927> (8686) upon them the

king <04428> of the Chaldees <03778>, who slew <02026> (8799)

their young men <0970> with the sword <02719> in the house

<01004> of their sanctuary <04720>, and had no compassion

<02550> (8804) upon young man <0970> or maiden <01330>, old man

<02205>, or him that stooped for age <03486>: he gave <05414>

(8804) them all into his hand <03027>.

2Ch 36:18 And all the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of

God <0430>, great <01419> and small <06996>, and the treasures

<0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the

treasures <0214> of the king <04428>, and of his princes <08269>;

all these he brought <0935> (8689) to Babylon <0894>.

2Ch 36:19 And they burnt <08313> (8799) the house <01004> of

God <0430>, and brake down <05422> (8762) the wall <02346> of

Jerusalem <03389>, and burnt <08313> (8804) all the palaces

<0759> thereof with fire <0784>, and destroyed <07843> (8687)

all the goodly <04261> vessels <03627> thereof.

2Ch 36:20 And them that had escaped <07611> from the sword

<02719> carried he away <01540> (8686) to Babylon <0894>; where

they were servants <05650> to him and his sons <01121> until the

reign <04427> (8800) of the kingdom <04438> of Persia <06539>:

2Ch 36:21 To fulfil <04390> (8763) the word <01697> of the LORD

<03068> by the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414>, until the land

<0776> had enjoyed <07521> (8804) her sabbaths <07676>: for as

long as <03117> she lay desolate <08074> (8715) she kept sabbath

<07673> (8804), to fulfil <04390> (8763) threescore and ten

<07657> years <08141>.

2Ch 36:22 ¶ Now in the first <0259> year <08141> of Cyrus

<03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539>, that the word <01697> of

the LORD <03068> spoken by the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414>

might be accomplished <03615> (8800), the LORD <03068> stirred

up <05782> (8689) the spirit <07307> of Cyrus <03566> king

<04428> of Persia <06539>, that he made a proclamation <05674>

(8686) <06963> throughout all his kingdom <04438>, and put it

also in writing <04385>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 36:23 Thus saith <0559> (8804) Cyrus <03566> king <04428>

of Persia <06539>, All the kingdoms <04467> of the earth <0776>

hath the LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven <08064> given <05414>

(8804) me; and he hath charged <06485> (8804) me to build

<01129> (8800) him an house <01004> in Jerusalem <03389>, which

is in Judah <03063>. Who is there among you of all his people

<05971>? The LORD <03068> his God <0430> be with him, and let

him go up <05927> (8799).
