In the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
Against him came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725 him presentsH4503. {gave: Heb. rendered} {presents: or, tribute}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927 no presentH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113, and boundH631 him in prisonH1004+H3608. {present: or, tribute}
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, which had brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430,
And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 those thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 them high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892.
And they set them upH5324 imagesH4676 and grovesH842 in every highH1364 hillH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086: {images: Heb. statues}
And there they burnt incenseH6999 in all the high placesH1116, as did the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 carried awayH1540 beforeH6440 them; and wroughtH6213 wickedH7451 thingsH1697 to provoke the LORDH3068 to angerH3707:
For they servedH5647 idolsH1544, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not doH6213 this thingH1697.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
And they leftH5800 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and madeH6213 them molten imagesH4541, even twoH8147 calvesH5695, and madeH6213 a groveH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 BaalH1168.
And they caused their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, and usedH7080 divinationH7081 and enchantmentsH5172, and soldH4376 themselves to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
Therefore the LORDH3068 was veryH3966 angryH599 with IsraelH3478, and removedH5493 them out of his sightH6440: there was none leftH7604 but the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
Also JudahH3063 keptH8104 not the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of IsraelH3478 which they madeH6213.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
For he rentH7167 IsraelH3478 from the houseH1004 of DavidH1732; and they made JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028 kingH4427: and JeroboamH3379 draveH5080+H5077 IsraelH3478 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, and made them sinH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH3212 in all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 which he didH6213; they departedH5493 not from them;
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 broughtH935 men from BabylonH894, and from CuthahH3575, and from AvaH5755, and from HamathH2574, and from SepharvaimH5617, and placedH3427 them in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111 instead of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and they possessedH3423 SamariaH8111, and dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof.
And so it was at the beginningH8462 of their dwellingH3427 there, that they fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, which slewH2026 some of them.
Wherefore they spakeH559 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, The nationsH1471 which thou hast removedH1540, and placedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776: therefore he hath sentH7971 lionsH738 among them, and, behold, they slayH4191 them, because they knowH3045 not the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 commandedH6680, sayingH559, CarryH3212 thither oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom ye broughtH1540 from thence; and let them goH3212 and dwellH3427 there, and let him teachH3384 them the mannerH4941 of the GodH430 of the landH776.
Then oneH259 of the priestsH3548 whom they had carried awayH1540 from SamariaH8111 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in BethelH1008, and taughtH3384 them how they should fearH3372 the LORDH3068.
Howbeit every nationH1471 madeH6213 godsH430 of their own, and putH3240 them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which the SamaritansH8118 had madeH6213, every nationH1471 in their citiesH5892 wherein they dweltH3427.
And the menH582 of BabylonH894 madeH6213 SuccothbenothH5524, and the menH582 of CuthH3575 madeH6213 NergalH5370, and the menH582 of HamathH2574 madeH6213 AshimaH807,
And the AvitesH5757 madeH6213 NibhazH5026 and TartakH8662, and the SepharvitesH5616 burntH8313 their childrenH1121 in fireH784 to AdrammelechH152 and AnammelechH6048, the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617.
So they fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and madeH6213 unto themselves of the lowestH7098 of them priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116, which sacrificedH6213 for them in the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116.
They fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their own godsH430, after the mannerH4941 of the nationsH1471 whom they carried awayH1540 from thence. {whom…: or, who carried them away from thence}
Unto this dayH3117 they doH6213 after the formerH7223 mannersH4941: they fearH3373 not the LORDH3068, neither doH6213 they after their statutesH2708, or after their ordinancesH4941, or after the lawH8451 and commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of JacobH3290, whom he namedH7760+H8034 IsraelH3478;
With whom the LORDH3068 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285, and chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430, nor bowH7812 yourselves to them, nor serveH5647 them, nor sacrificeH2076 to them:
But the LORDH3068, who brought you upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and a stretched outH5186 armH2220, him shall ye fearH3372, and him shall ye worshipH7812, and to him shall ye do sacrificeH2076.
And the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, and the lawH8451, and the commandmentH4687, which he wroteH3789 for you, ye shall observeH8104 to doH6213 for evermoreH3117; and ye shall not fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
And the covenantH1285 that I have madeH3772 with you ye shall not forgetH7911; neither shall ye fearH3372 otherH312 godsH430.
But the LORDH3068 your GodH430 ye shall fearH3372; and he shall deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of all your enemiesH341.
Howbeit they did not hearkenH8085, but they didH6213 after their formerH7223 mannerH4941.
So these nationsH1471 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 their graven imagesH6456, both their childrenH1121, and their children'sH1121 childrenH1121: as didH6213 their fathersH1, so doH6213 they unto this dayH3117.

In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.
Now, behold, thou trustestH982 upon the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}
And HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to LachishH3923, sayingH559, I have offendedH2398; returnH7725 from me: that which thou puttestH5414 on me will I bearH5375. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 appointedH7760 unto HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
And HezekiahH2396 gaveH5414 him all the silverH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004.
Doth not HezekiahH3169 persuadeH5496 you to giveH5414 over yourselves to dieH4191 by famineH7458 and by thirstH6772, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
