And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 came upon AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of OdedH5752:
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
Now for a longH7227 seasonH3117 IsraelH3478 hath been withoutH3808 the trueH571 GodH430, and without a teachingH3384 priestH3548, and without lawH8451.
But when they in their troubleH6862 did turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and soughtH1245 him, he was foundH4672 of them.
And in those timesH6256 there was no peaceH7965 to him that went outH3318, nor to him that came inH935, but greatH7227 vexationsH4103 were upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the countriesH776.
And nationH1471 was destroyedH3807 of nationH1471, and cityH5892 of cityH5892: for GodH430 did vexH2000 them with all adversityH6869. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Be ye strongH2388 therefore, and let not your handsH3027 be weakH7503: for your workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939.
And when AsaH609 heardH8085 these wordsH1697, and the prophecyH5016 of OdedH5752 the prophetH5030, he took courageH2388, and put awayH5674 the abominable idolsH8251 out of all the landH776 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and out of the citiesH5892 which he had takenH3920 from mountH2022 EphraimH669, and renewedH2318 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, that was beforeH6440 the porchH197 of the LORDH3068. {abominable…: Heb. abominations}
And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
So they gathered themselves togetherH6908 at JerusalemH3389 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.
And they offeredH2076 unto the LORDH3068 the same timeH3117, of the spoilH7998 which they had broughtH935, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629. {the same…: Heb. in that day}
And they enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315;
That whosoever would not seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802.
And they swareH7650 unto the LORDH3068 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, and with shoutingH8643, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cornetsH7782.
And all JudahH3063 rejoicedH8055 at the oathH7621: for they had swornH7650 with all their heartH3824, and soughtH1245 him with their whole desireH7522; and he was foundH4672 of them: and the LORDH3068 gave them restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And also concerning MaachahH4601 the motherH517 of AsaH609 the kingH4428, he removedH5493 her from being queenH1377, because she had madeH6213 an idolH4656 in a groveH842: and AsaH609 cut downH3772 her idolH4656, and stampedH1854 it, and burntH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939. {mother: that is, grandmother} {idol: Heb. horror}
But the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493 out of IsraelH3478: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 all his daysH3117.
And he broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430 the things that his fatherH1 had dedicatedH6944, and that he himself had dedicatedH6944, silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627.
And there was no more warH4421 unto the fiveH2568 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of AsaH609.

And, behold, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 is over you in all mattersH1697 of the LORDH3068; and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, for all the king'sH4428 mattersH1697: also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860 beforeH6440 you.

Therefore shall ye keepH8104 mine ordinanceH4931, that ye commitH6213 not any one of these abominableH8441 customsH2708, which were committedH6213 beforeH6440 you, and that ye defileH2930 not yourselves therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And AbijahH29 pursuedH7291 afterH310 JeroboamH3379, and tookH3920 citiesH5892 from him, BethelH1008 with the townsH1323 thereof, and JeshanahH3466 with the townsH1323 thereof, and EphrainH6085 with the townsH1323 thereof.
Moreover he madeH6213 an altarH4196 of brassH5178, twentyH6242 cubitsH520 the lengthH753 thereof, and twentyH6242 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 thereof, and tenH6235 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 thereof.

CursedH779 be the manH376 that makethH6213 any gravenH6459 or molten imageH4541, an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the craftsmanH2796, and puttethH7760 it in a secretH5643 place. And all the peopleH5971 shall answerH6030 and sayH559, AmenH543.
Then SolomonH8010 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which he had builtH1129 beforeH6440 the porchH197,
And from thenceG2547, when the brethrenG80 heardG191 ofG4012 usG2257, they cameG1831 to meetG529+G1519 usG2254 as far asG891 AppiiG675 forumG5410, andG2532 The threeG5140 tavernsG4999: whomG3739 when PaulG3972 sawG1492, he thankedG2168 GodG2316, and tookG2983 courageG2294.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
Then they wentH935 inH6441 to HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and saidH559, We have cleansedH2891 all the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the shewbreadH4635 tableH7979, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof.
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And he broughtH7126 also the brasenH5178 altarH4196, which was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, from the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004, from between the altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and putH5414 it on the northH6828 sideH3409 of the altarH4196.
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}
But if ye sayH559 unto me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is not that he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and hath saidH559 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196 in JerusalemH3389?
Which remainH3427 among the gravesH6913, and lodgeH3885 in the monumentsH5341, which eatH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and brothH4839+H6564 of abominableH6292 things is in their vesselsH3627; {broth: or, pieces}
And firstH7223 I will recompenseH7999 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403 doubleH4932; because they have defiledH2490 my landH776, they have filledH4390 mine inheritanceH5159 with the carcasesH5038 of their detestableH8251 and abominable thingsH8441.
So I went inH935 and sawH7200; and behold every formH8403 of creeping thingsH7431, and abominableH8263 beastsH929, and all the idolsH1544 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023 round aboutH5439.
ForG1063 the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 usG2254 to have wroughtG2716 the willG2307 of the GentilesG1484, when we walkedG4198 inG1722 lasciviousnessG766, lustsG1939, excess of wineG3632, revellingsG2970, banquetingsG4224, andG2532 abominableG111 idolatriesG1495:
AndG2532 the womanG1135 wasG2258 arrayedG4016 in purpleG4209 andG2532 scarlet colourG2847, andG2532 deckedG5558 with goldG5557 andG2532 preciousG5093 stonesG3037 andG2532 pearlsG3135, havingG2192 a goldenG5552 cupG4221 inG1722 herG846 handG5495 full ofG1073 abominationsG946 andG2532 filthinessG168 of herG846 fornicationG4202: {decked: Gr. gilded}
