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.

And these are the singersH7891, chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881, who remaining in the chambersH3957 were freeH6362+H6359: for they were employed in that workH4399 dayH3119 and nightH3915. {they…: Heb. upon them}
And he appointedH5975, according to the orderH4941 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 to their serviceH5656, and the LevitesH3881 to their chargesH4931, to praiseH1984 and ministerH8334 before the priestsH3548, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117: the portersH7778 also by their coursesH4256 at every gateH8179: for so had DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430 commandedH4687. {so had David…: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God}
For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881 to appointH5975 their brethrenH251 to be the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and cymbalsH4700, soundingH8085, by lifting upH7311 the voiceH6963 with joyH8057.
So the LevitesH3881 appointedH5975 HemanH1968 the sonH1121 of JoelH3100; and of his brethrenH251, AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296; and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847 their brethrenH251, EthanH387 the sonH1121 of KushaiahH6984;
And with them their brethrenH251 of the secondH4932 degree, ZechariahH2148, BenH1122, and JaazielH3268, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and MaaseiahH4641, and MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, the portersH7778.
So the singersH7891, HemanH1968, AsaphH623, and EthanH387, were appointed to soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700 of brassH5178;
And ZechariahH2148, and AzielH5815, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, and EliabH446, and MaaseiahH4641, and BenaiahH1141, with psalteriesH5035 on AlamothH5961;
And MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, and AzaziahH5812, with harpsH3658 on the SheminithH8067 to excelH5329. {on the…: or, on the eighth to oversee}
And ChenaniahH3663, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, was for songH4853: he instructedH3256 about the songH4853, because he was skilfulH995. {was for…: or, was for the carriage: he instructed about the carriage} {song: Heb. lifting up}
And the singersH7891 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH4612, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king'sH4428 seerH2374; and the portersH7778 waited at every gateH8179; they might not departH5493 from their serviceH5656; for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for them. {place: Heb. station}
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And he appointedH5414 certain of the LevitesH3881 to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and to recordH2142, and to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478:
Moreover fourH702 thousandH505 were portersH7778; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 with the instrumentsH3627 which I madeH6213, said David, to praiseH1984 therewith.
Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seerH7200, and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seerH2374, {book: or, history: Heb. words}
AsaphH623 the chiefH7218, and nextH4932 to him ZechariahH2148, JeielH3273, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and MattithiahH4993, and EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and ObededomH5654: and JeielH3273 with psalteriesH5035+H3627 and with harpsH3658; but AsaphH623 made a soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700; {with psalteries…: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}
And the patternH8403 of all that he had by the spiritH7307, of the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and of all the chambersH3957 round aboutH5439, of the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and of the treasuriesH214 of the dedicated thingsH6944: {of all that…: Heb. of all that was with him}
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038 with trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 for those that should make a soundH8085, and with musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of GodH430. And the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038 were portersH8179. {porters: Heb. for the gate}
All this, said David, the LORDH3068 made me understandH7919 in writingH3791 by his handH3027 upon me, even all the worksH4399 of this patternH8403.
Moreover DavidH1732 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635 separatedH914 to the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, and of HemanH1968, and of JeduthunH3038, who should prophesyH5012+H5030 with harpsH3658, with psalteriesH5035, and with cymbalsH4700: and the numberH4557 of the workmenH582+H4399 according to their serviceH5656 was:
Of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; ZaccurH2139, and JosephH3130, and NethaniahH5418, and AsarelahH841, the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 under the handsH3027 of AsaphH623, which prophesiedH5012 according to the orderH3027 of the kingH4428. {Asarelah: otherwise called Jesharelah} {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
Of JeduthunH3038: the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; GedaliahH1436, and ZeriH6874, and JeshaiahH3470, HashabiahH2811, and MattithiahH4993, sixH8337, under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 JeduthunH3038, who prophesiedH5012 with a harpH3658, to give thanksH3034 and to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068. {Zeri: or, Izri}
Of HemanH1968: the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968; BukkiahH1232, MattaniahH4983, UzzielH5816, ShebuelH7619, and JerimothH3406, HananiahH2608, HananiH2607, EliathahH448, GiddaltiH1437, and RomamtiezerH7320, JoshbekashahH3436, MallothiH4413, HothirH1956, and MahaziothH4238: {Uzziel: also called, Azareel, ver.18.} {Shebuel: also called, Shubael, ver.20.}
All these were the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968 the king'sH4428 seerH2374 in the wordsH1697 of GodH430, to lift upH7311 the hornH7161. And GodH430 gaveH5414 to HemanH1968 fourteenH702+H6240 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323. {words: or, matters}
All these were under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 for songH7892 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and harpsH3658, for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, according to the king'sH4428 orderH3027 to AsaphH623, JeduthunH3038, and HemanH1968. {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
So the numberH4557 of them, with their brethrenH251 that were instructedH3925 in the songsH7892 of the LORDH3068, even all that were cunningH995, was two hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and eightH8083.
