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.

Because ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 these abominationsH8441, and hath done wickedlyH7489 above all that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, which were beforeH6440 him, and hath made JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6957 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipethH4229 a dishH6747, wipingH4229 it, and turningH2015 it upside downH6440. {wiping…: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 against him bandsH1416 of the ChaldeesH3778, and bandsH1416 of the SyriansH758, and bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
And I saidH559 afterH310 she had doneH6213 all these things, TurnH7725 thou unto me. But she returnedH7725 not. And her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 sawH7200 it.
And I sawH7200, when for all the causesH182 whereby backslidingH4878 IsraelH3478 committed adulteryH5003 I had put her awayH7971, and givenH5414 her a billH5612 of divorceH3748; yet her treacherousH898 sisterH269 JudahH3063 fearedH3372 not, but wentH3212 and played the harlotH2181 also.
And it came to pass through the lightnessH6963 of her whoredomH2184, that she defiledH2610 the landH776, and committed adulteryH5003 with stonesH68 and with stocksH6086. {lightness: or, fame}
And yet for all this her treacherousH901 sisterH269 JudahH3063 hath not turnedH7725 unto me with her whole heartH3820, but feignedlyH8267, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {feignedly: Heb. in falsehood}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Though MosesH4872 and SamuelH8050 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 me, yet my mindH5315 could not be toward this peopleH5971: cast them outH7971 of my sightH6440, and let them go forthH3318.
And it shall come to pass, if they sayH559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forthH3318? then thou shalt tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Such as are for deathH4194, to deathH4194; and such as are for the swordH2719, to the swordH2719; and such as are for the famineH7458, to the famineH7458; and such as are for the captivityH7628, to the captivityH7628.
And I will appointH6485 over them fourH702 kindsH4940, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: the swordH2719 to slayH2026, and the dogsH3611 to tearH5498, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH929 of the earthH776, to devourH398 and destroyH7843. {kinds: Heb. families}
And I will causeH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, becauseH1558 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, for that which he didH6213 in JerusalemH3389. {cause…: Heb. give them for a removing}
