AhazH271 was twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: but he didH6213 not that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1:
For he walked inH3212 the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and madeH6213 also molten imagesH4541 for BaalimH1168.
Moreover he burnt incenseH6999 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and burntH1197 his childrenH1121 in the fireH784, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471 whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {burnt…: or, offered sacrifice}
He sacrificedH2076 also and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 his GodH430 deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758; and they smoteH5221 him, and carried awayH7617 a great multitudeH1419 of them captivesH7633, and broughtH935 them to DamascusH1834. And he was also deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 him with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
For PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 slewH2026 in JudahH3063 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in oneH259 dayH3117, which were all valiantH2428 menH1121; because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {valiant…: Heb. sons of valour}
And ZichriH2147, a mighty manH1368 of EphraimH669, slewH2026 MaaseiahH4641 the king'sH4428 sonH1121, and AzrikamH5840 the governorH5057 of the houseH1004, and ElkanahH511 that was nextH4932 to the kingH4428. {next…: Heb. the second to the king}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 carried away captiveH7617 of their brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 thousandH505, womenH802, sonsH1121, and daughtersH1323, and took also awayH962 muchH7227 spoilH7998 from them, and broughtH935 the spoilH7998 to SamariaH8111.
But a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 was there, whose nameH8034 was OdedH5752: and he went outH3318 beforeH6440 the hostH6635 that cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and saidH559 unto them, Behold, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 was wrothH2534 with JudahH3063, he hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027, and ye have slainH2026 them in a rageH2197 that reacheth upH5060 unto heavenH8064.
And now ye purposeH559 to keep underH3533 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198 unto you: but are there not with you, evenH7535 with you, sinsH819 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
Now hearH8085 me therefore, and deliverH7725 the captivesH7633 again, which ye have taken captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 is upon you.
Then certainH582 of the headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919, and JehizkiahH3169 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311, stood upH6965 against them that cameH935 from the warH6635,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
So the armed menH2502 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the spoilH961 beforeH6440 the princesH8269 and all the congregationH6951.
And the menH582 which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034 rose upH6965, and tookH2388 the captivesH7633, and with the spoilH7998 clothedH3847 all that were nakedH4636 among them, and arrayedH3847 them, and shodH5274 them, and gave them to eatH398 and to drinkH8248, and anointedH5480 them, and carriedH5095 all the feebleH3782 of them upon assesH2543, and broughtH935 them to JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899, toH681 their brethrenH251: then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
At that timeH6256 did kingH4428 AhazH271 sendH7971 unto the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 to helpH5826 him.
For again the EdomitesH130 had comeH935 and smittenH5221 JudahH3063, and carried awayH7617 captivesH7628. {captives: Heb. a captivity}
The PhilistinesH6430 also had invadedH6584 the citiesH5892 of the low countryH8219, and of the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and had takenH3920 BethshemeshH1053, and AjalonH357, and GederothH1450, and ShochoH7755 with the villagesH1323 thereof, and TimnahH8553 with the villagesH1323 thereof, GimzoH1579 also and the villagesH1323 thereof: and they dweltH3427 there.
For the LORDH3068 broughtH3665 JudahH3063 lowH3665 because of AhazH271 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; for he madeH6544 JudahH3063 nakedH6544, and transgressedH4603 soreH4604 against the LORDH3068.
And TilgathpilneserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 unto him, and distressedH6696 him, but strengthenedH2388 him not.
For AhazH271 took away a portionH2505 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and out of the houseH1004 of the kingH4428, and of the princesH8269, and gaveH5414 it unto the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: but he helpedH5833 him not.
And in the timeH6256 of his distressH6887 did he trespassH4603 yet moreH3254 against the LORDH3068: this is that kingH4428 AhazH271.
For he sacrificedH2076 unto the godsH430 of DamascusH1834, which smoteH5221 him: and he saidH559, Because the godsH430 of the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758 helpH5826 them, therefore will I sacrificeH2076 to them, that they may helpH5826 me. But they were the ruinH3782 of him, and of all IsraelH3478. {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
And AhazH271 gathered togetherH622 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and cut in piecesH7112 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and he madeH6213 him altarsH4196 in every cornerH6438 of JerusalemH3389.
And in every several cityH5892 of JudahH3063 he madeH6213 high placesH1116 to burn incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and provoked to angerH3707 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1. {to burn: or, to offer}
Now the restH3499 of his actsH1697 and of all his waysH1870, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.
And AhazH271 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892, even in JerusalemH3389: but they broughtH935 him not into the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478: and HezekiahH3169 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them.
Then shall his mindH7307 changeH2498, and he shall pass overH5674, and offendH816, imputing thisH2098 his powerH3581 unto his godH433.
They are uprightH4749 as the palm treeH8560, but speakH1696 not: they must needsH5375 be borneH5375, because they cannot goH6805. Be not afraidH3372 of them; for they cannot do evilH7489, neither also is it in them to do goodH3190.
And the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586 and of the sinnersH2400 shall be togetherH3162, and they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 shall be consumedH3615. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
Then all the menH582 which knewH3045 that their wivesH802 had burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and all the womenH802 that stood byH5975, a greatH1419 multitudeH6951, even all the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in PathrosH6624, answeredH6030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
As for the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 unto us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, we will not hearkenH8085 unto thee.
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
But since we left offH2308 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, we have wantedH2637 all things, and have been consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458.
Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, to the menH1397, and to the womenH802, and to all the peopleH5971 which had given him that answerH1697+H6030, sayingH559,
The incenseH7002 that ye burnedH6999 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, ye, and your fathersH1, your kingsH4428, and your princesH8269, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, did not the LORDH3068 rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it not into his mindH3820?
So that the LORDH3068 couldH3201 no longer bearH5375, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and becauseH6440 of the abominationsH8441 which ye have committedH6213; therefore is your landH776 a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, without an inhabitantH3427, as at this dayH3117.
BecauseH6440+H834 ye have burned incenseH6999, and because ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, nor in his statutesH2708, nor in his testimoniesH5715; therefore this evilH7451 is happenedH7122 unto you, as at this dayH3117.
Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, and to all the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559; Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and fulfilledH4390 with your handH3027, sayingH559, We will surelyH6213 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her: ye will surelyH6965 accomplishH6965 your vowsH5088, and surelyH6213 performH6213 your vowsH5088.
Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068, that my nameH8034 shall no more be namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, The LordH136 GODH3069 livethH2416.
Behold, I will watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896: and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, until there be an endH3615 of them.
Yet a smallH4962 numberH4557 that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall return outH7725 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall knowH3045 whose wordsH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs. {mine…: Heb. from me, or, from them}
