HezekiahH3169 began to reignH4427 when he was fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and he reignedH4427 nineH8672 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AbijahH29, the daughterH1323 of ZechariahH2148.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had doneH6213.
He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and repairedH2388 them.
And he brought inH935 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gathered them togetherH622 into the eastH4217 streetH7339,
And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.
For our fathersH1 have trespassedH4603, and doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsakenH5800 him, and have turned awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitationH4908 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5414 their backsH6203. {turned their…: Heb. given the neck}
Also they have shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put outH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
My sonsH1121, be not now negligentH7952: for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to serveH8334 him, and that ye should ministerH8334 unto him, and burn incenseH6999. {be not…: or, be not now deceived} {burn…: or, offer sacrifice}
Then the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965, MahathH4287 the sonH1121 of AmasaiH6022, and JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956: and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, KishH7027 the sonH1121 of AbdiH5660, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehalelelH3094: and of the GershonitesH1649; JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of ZimmahH2155, and EdenH5731 the sonH1121 of JoahH3098:
And of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShimriH8113, and JeielH3273: and of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; ZechariahH2148, and MattaniahH4983:
And of the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968; JehielH3171, and ShimeiH8096: and of the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; ShemaiahH8098, and UzzielH5816.
And they gatheredH622 their brethrenH251, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and cameH935, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {by the words…: or, in the business of the LORD}
And the priestsH3548 wentH935 into the inner partH6441 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 it, and brought outH3318 all the uncleannessH2932 that they foundH4672 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 into the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the LevitesH3881 tookH6901 it, to carry it outH3318 abroadH2351 into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
Now they beganH2490 on the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 to sanctifyH6942, and on the eighthH8083 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 cameH935 they to the porchH197 of the LORDH3068: so they sanctifiedH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in eightH8083 daysH3117; and in the sixteenthH8337+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 they made an endH3615.
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.
Moreover all the vesselsH3627, which kingH4428 AhazH271 in his reignH4438 did cast awayH2186 in his transgressionH4604, have we preparedH3559 and sanctifiedH6942, and, behold, they are beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.
Then HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 rose earlyH7925, and gatheredH622 the rulersH8269 of the cityH5892, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499, and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, and sevenH7651 heH6842 goatsH5795, for a sin offeringH2403 for the kingdomH4467, and for the sanctuaryH4720, and for JudahH3063. And he commandedH559 the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 to offerH5927 them on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.
So they killedH7819 the bullocksH1241, and the priestsH3548 receivedH6901 the bloodH1818, and sprinkledH2236 it on the altarH4196: likewise, when they had killedH7819 the ramsH352, they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196: they killedH7819 also the lambsH3532, and they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196.
And they brought forthH5066 the he goatsH8163 for the sin offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the congregationH6951; and they laidH5564 their handsH3027 upon them: {forth: Heb. near}
And the priestsH3548 killedH7819 them, and they made reconciliationH2398 with their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, to make an atonementH3722 for all IsraelH3478: for the kingH4428 commandedH559 that the burnt offeringH5930 and the sin offeringH2403 should be made for all IsraelH3478.
And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king'sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030: for so was the commandmentH4687 ofH3027 the LORDH3068 byH3027 his prophetsH5030. {commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.
And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
And all the congregationH6951 worshippedH7812, and the singersH7892 sangH7891, and the trumpetersH2689 soundedH2690+H2690: and all this continued until the burnt offeringH5930 was finishedH3615. {singers: Heb. song}
And when they had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927, the kingH4428 and all that were presentH4672 with him bowedH3766 themselves, and worshippedH7812. {present: Heb. found}
Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.
Then HezekiahH3169 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Now ye have consecratedH4390+H3027 yourselves unto the LORDH3068, come nearH5066 and bringH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the congregationH6951 brought inH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426; and as many as were of a freeH5081 heartH3820 burnt offeringsH5930. {consecrated…: or, filled your hand}
And the numberH4557 of the burnt offeringsH5930, which the congregationH6951 broughtH935, was threescore and tenH7657 bullocksH1241, an hundredH3967 ramsH352, and two hundredH3967 lambsH3532: all these were for a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068.
And the consecrated thingsH6944 were sixH8337 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629.
But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. {did help…: Heb. strengthened them}
And also the burnt offeringsH5930 were in abundanceH7230, with the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, and the drink offeringsH5262 for every burnt offeringH5930. So the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was set in orderH3559.
And HezekiahH3169 rejoicedH8055, and all the peopleH5971, that GodH430 had preparedH3559 the peopleH5971: for the thingH1697 was done suddenlyH6597.

Now it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And they enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315;
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.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thine heartH3824:
That whosoever would not seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 should be put to deathH4191, whetherH4480 smallH6996 or greatH1419, whether manH376 or womanH802.
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 JehoiadaH3077 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 between him, and between all the peopleH5971, and between the kingH4428, that they should be the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971.
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all the peopleH5971, greatH1419 and smallH6996: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {great…: Heb. from great even to small}
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 in his placeH5977, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And he caused all that were presentH4672 in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975 to it. And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 didH6213 according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found}
Now therefore let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to put awayH3318 all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH136, and of those that trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451. {to put…: Heb. to bring forth}
And because of all this we makeH3772 a sureH548 covenant, and writeH3789 it; and our princesH8269, LevitesH3881, and priestsH3548, sealH2856 unto it. {seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed}
Now those that sealedH2856 were, NehemiahH5166, the TirshathaH8660, the sonH1121 of HachaliahH2446, and ZidkijahH6667, {those…: Heb. at the sealings} {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}

They claveH2388 to their brethrenH251, their noblesH117, and enteredH935 into a curseH423, and into an oathH7621, to walkH3212 in God'sH430 lawH8451, which was givenH5414 byH3027 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, and to observeH8104 and doH6213 all the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 our LordH113, and his judgmentsH4941 and his statutesH2706; {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And that we would not giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto the peopleH5971 of the landH776, nor takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 for our sonsH1121:
And if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 bringH935 wareH4728 or any victualsH7668 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to sellH4376, that we would not buyH3947 it of them on the sabbathH7676, or on the holyH6944 dayH3117: and that we would leaveH5203 the seventhH7637 yearH8141, and the exactionH4853 of every debtH3027. {every…: Heb. every hand}
Also we madeH5975 ordinancesH4687 for us, to chargeH5414 ourselves yearlyH8141 with the third partH7992 of a shekelH8255 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430;
For the shewbreadH4635+H3899, and for the continualH8548 meat offeringH4503, and for the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, of the sabbathsH7676, of the new moonsH2320, for the set feastsH4150, and for the holyH6944 things, and for the sin offeringsH2403 to make an atonementH3722 for IsraelH3478, and for all the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
And we castH5307 the lotsH1486 among the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and the peopleH5971, for the woodH6086 offeringH7133, to bringH935 it into the houseH1004 of our GodH430, after the housesH1004 of our fathersH1, at timesH6256 appointedH2163 yearH8141 by yearH8141, to burnH1197 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451:
And to bringH935 the firstfruitsH1061 of our groundH127, and the firstfruitsH1061 of all fruitH6529 of all treesH6086, yearH8141 by yearH8141, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Also the firstbornH1060 of our sonsH1121, and of our cattleH929, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451, and the firstlingsH1062 of our herdsH1241 and of our flocksH6629, to bringH935 to the houseH1004 of our GodH430, unto the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430:
And that we should bringH935 the firstfruitsH7225 of our doughH6182, and our offeringsH8641, and the fruitH6529 of all manner of treesH6086, of wineH8492 and of oilH3323, unto the priestsH3548, to the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430; and the tithesH4643 of our groundH127 unto the LevitesH3881, that the same LevitesH3881 might have the tithesH6237 in all the citiesH5892 of our tillageH5656.
And the priestH3548 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 shall be with the LevitesH3881, when the LevitesH3881 take tithesH6237: and the LevitesH3881 shall bring upH5927 the titheH4643 of the tithesH4643 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430, to the chambersH3957, into the treasureH214 houseH1004.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 shall bringH935 the offeringH8641 of the cornH1715, of the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, unto the chambersH3957, where are the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH4720, and the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334, and the portersH7778, and the singersH7891: and we will not forsakeH5800 the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
And ye were nowH3117 turnedH7725, and had doneH6213 rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: {now: Heb. to day} {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
And I will giveH5414 the menH582 that have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, which have not performedH6965 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which they had madeH3772 beforeH6440 me, when they cutH3772 the calfH5695 in twainH8147, and passedH5674 between the partsH1335 thereof,
