And the kingH4428 sentH7971, and they gatheredH622 unto him all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and of JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 with him, and the priestsH3548, and the prophetsH5030, and all the peopleH5971, both smallH6996 and greatH1419: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 which was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {both…: Heb. from small even unto great}
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 by a pillarH5982, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his testimoniesH5715 and his statutesH2708 with all their heartH3820 and all their soulH5315, to performH6965 the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285 that were writtenH3789 in this bookH5612. And all the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 to the covenantH1285.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, and the priestsH3548 of the second orderH4932, and the keepersH8104 of the doorH5592, to bring forthH3318 out of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 all the vesselsH3627 that were madeH6213 for BaalH1168, and for the groveH842, and for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064: and he burnedH8313 them withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 in the fieldsH7709 of KidronH6939, and carriedH5375 the ashesH6083 of them unto BethelH1008.
And he put downH7673 the idolatrous priestsH3649, whom the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ordainedH5414 to burn incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the places round aboutH4524 JerusalemH3389; them also that burned incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, to the sunH8121, and to the moonH3394, and to the planetsH4208, and to all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064. {put…: Heb. caused to cease} {idolatrous…: Heb. Chemarim} {planets: or, twelve signs or, constellations}
And he brought outH3318 the groveH842 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389, unto the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and stamped it smallH1854 to powderH6083, and castH7993 the powderH6083 thereof upon the gravesH6913 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971.
And he brake downH5422 the housesH1004 of the sodomitesH6945, that were by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, where the womenH802 woveH707 hangingsH1004 for the groveH842. {hangings: Heb. houses}
And he broughtH935 all the priestsH3548 out of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and defiledH2930 the high placesH1116 where the priestsH3548 had burned incenseH6999, from GebaH1387 to BeershebaH884, and brake downH5422 the high placesH1116 of the gatesH8179 that were in the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179 of JoshuaH3091 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, which were on a man'sH376 left handH8040 at the gateH8179 of the cityH5892.
Nevertheless the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 came not upH5927 to the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389, but they did eatH398 of the unleavened breadH4682 amongH8432 their brethrenH251.
And he defiledH2930 TophethH8612, which is in the valleyH1516 of the childrenH1121+H1121 of HinnomH2011, that no manH376 might make his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 to MolechH4432.
And he took awayH7673 the horsesH5483 that the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had givenH5414 to the sunH8121, at the entering inH935 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the chamberH3957 of NathanmelechH5419 the chamberlainH5631, which was in the suburbsH6503, and burnedH8313 the chariotsH4818 of the sunH8121 with fireH784. {chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer}
And the altarsH4196 that were on the topH1406 of the upper chamberH5944 of AhazH271, which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had madeH6213, and the altarsH4196 which ManassehH4519 had madeH6213 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, did the kingH4428 beat downH5422, and brake them downH7323 from thence, and castH7993 the dustH6083 of them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939. {brake…: or, ran from thence}
And the high placesH1116 that were beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, which were on the right handH3225 of the mountH2022 of corruptionH4889, which SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had buildedH1129 for AshtorethH6253 the abominationH8251 of the ZidoniansH6722, and for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of the MoabitesH4124, and for MilcomH4445 the abominationH8441 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, did the kingH4428 defileH2930. {the mount…: that is, the mount of Olives}
And he brake in piecesH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and filledH4390 their placesH4725 with the bonesH6106 of menH120. {images: Heb. statues}
Moreover the altarH4196 that was at BethelH1008, and the high placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the high placeH1116 he brake downH5422, and burnedH8313 the high placeH1116, and stampedH1854 it small to powderH6083, and burnedH8313 the groveH842.
And as JosiahH2977 turnedH6437 himself, he spiedH7200 the sepulchresH6913 that were there in the mountH2022, and sentH7971, and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 out of the sepulchresH6913, and burnedH8313 them upon the altarH4196, and pollutedH2930 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which the manH376 of GodH430 proclaimedH7121, who proclaimedH7121 these wordsH1697.
Then he saidH559, What titleH6725 is thatH1975 that I seeH7200? And the menH582 of the cityH5892 toldH559 him, It is the sepulchreH6913 of the manH376 of GodH430, which cameH935 from JudahH3063, and proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697 that thou hast doneH6213 against the altarH4196 of BethelH1008.
And he saidH559, Let him aloneH3240; let no manH376 moveH5128 his bonesH6106. So they let his bonesH6106 aloneH4422, with the bonesH6106 of the prophetH5030 that came outH935 of SamariaH8111. {bones alone: Heb. bones to escape}
And all the housesH1004 also of the high placesH1116 that were in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, which the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 to provoke the LORD to angerH3707, JosiahH2977 took awayH5493, and didH6213 to them according to all the actsH4639 that he had doneH6213 in BethelH1008.
And he slewH2076 all the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that were there upon the altarsH4196, and burnedH8313 men'sH120 bonesH6106 upon them, and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {slew: or, sacrificed}
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, KeepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this covenantH1285.
Surely there was not holdenH6213 such a passoverH6453 from the daysH3117 of the judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 IsraelH3478, nor in all the daysH3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, nor of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063;
But in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977, wherein this passoverH6453 was holdenH6213 to the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389.
Moreover the workers with familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, and the imagesH8655, and the idolsH1544, and all the abominationsH8251 that were spiedH7200 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389, did JosiahH2977 put awayH1197, that he might performH6965 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451 which were writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 that HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {images: or, teraphim}
And like unto him was there no kingH4428 beforeH6440 him, that turnedH7725 to the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, and with all his mightH3966, according to all the lawH8451 of MosesH4872; neither afterH310 him aroseH6965 there any like him.
Notwithstanding the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 not from the fiercenessH2740 of his greatH1419 wrathH639, wherewith his angerH639 was kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, because of all the provocationsH3708 that ManassehH4519 had provokedH3707 him withal. {provocations: Heb. angers}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will removeH5493 JudahH3063 also out of my sightH6440, as I have removedH5493 IsraelH3478, and will cast offH3988 this cityH5892 JerusalemH3389 which I have chosenH977, and the houseH1004 of which I saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
In his daysH3117 PharaohnechohH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 went upH5927 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: and kingH4428 JosiahH2977 wentH3212 againstH7125 him; and he slewH4191 him at MegiddoH4023, when he had seenH7200 him.
And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariotH7392 deadH4191 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchreH6900. And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and anointedH4886 him, and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 stead.
JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.
And PharaohnechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, that he might not reignH4427 in JerusalemH3389; and putH5414 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {that…: or, because he reigned} {put the…: Heb. set a fine upon the land}
And PharaohnechohH6549 made EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the room of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079, and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 awayH3947: and he cameH935 to EgyptH4714, and diedH4191 there.
And JehoiakimH3079 gaveH5414 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 to PharaohH6547; but he taxedH6186 the landH776 to giveH5414 the moneyH3701 according to the commandmentH6310 of PharaohH6547: he exactedH5065 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, of every oneH376 according to his taxationH6187, to giveH5414 it unto PharaohnechohH6549.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZebudahH2080, the daughterH1323 of PedaiahH6305 of RumahH7316.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fathersH1 had doneH6213.

And the LevitesH3881 that are gone away farH7368 from me, when IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, which went astray awayH8582 from me afterH310 their idolsH1544; they shall even bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them.
Because they ministeredH8334 unto them beforeH6440 their idolsH1544, and caused the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 to fallH4383 into iniquityH5771; therefore have I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 against them, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771. {caused…: Heb. were for a stumblingblock of iniquity unto, etc}
And they shall not come nearH5066 unto me, to do the office of a priestH3547 unto me, nor to come nearH5066 to any of my holy thingsH6944, in the most holyH6944 place: but they shall bearH5375 their shameH3639, and their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
But I will makeH5414 them keepersH8104 of the chargeH4931 of the houseH1004, for all the serviceH5656 thereof, and for all that shall be doneH6213 therein.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 in thine houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of breadH3899, and shall sayH559, PutH5596 me, I pray thee, into oneH259 of the priests' officesH3550, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899. {Put: Heb. Join} {one of…: or, somewhat about the priesthood}
But ye are departedH5493 out of the wayH1870; ye have caused manyH7227 to stumbleH3782 at the lawH8451; ye have corruptedH7843 the covenantH1285 of LeviH3878, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {stumble at: or, fall in}
They shall eatH398 the meat offeringH4503, and the sin offeringH2403, and the trespass offeringH817; and every dedicated thingH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be theirs. {dedicated: or, devoted}
And the firstH7225 of all the firstfruitsH1061 of all things, and every oblationH8641 of all, of every sort of your oblationsH8641, shall be the priest'sH3548: ye shall also giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the firstH7225 of your doughH6182, that he may cause the blessingH1293 to restH5117 in thine houseH1004. {And the first: or, And the chief}
The priestsH3548 shall not eatH398 of any thing that is dead of itselfH5038, or tornH2966, whether it be fowlH5775 or beastH929.
