The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came unto HoseaH1954, the sonH1121 of BeeriH882, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
The beginningH8462 of the wordH1696 of the LORDH3068 by HoseaH1954. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to HoseaH1954, GoH3212, takeH3947 unto thee a wifeH802 of whoredomsH2183 and childrenH3206 of whoredomsH2183: for the landH776 hath committed greatH2181 whoredomH2181, departing fromH310 the LORDH3068.
So he wentH3212 and tookH3947 GomerH1586 the daughterH1323 of DiblaimH1691; which conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 him a sonH1121.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 his nameH8034 JezreelH3157; for yet a littleH4592 while, and I will avengeH6485 the bloodH1818 of JezreelH3157 upon the houseH1004 of JehuH3058, and will cause to ceaseH7673 the kingdomH4468 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. {avenge: Heb. visit}
And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, that I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of IsraelH3478 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
And she conceived againH2029, and bareH3205 a daughterH1323. And God saidH559 unto him, CallH7121 her nameH8034 LoruhamahH3819: for I will no moreH3254 have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; but I will utterlyH5375 take them awayH5375. {Loruhamah: that is, Not having obtained mercy} {no…: Heb. not add any more to} {but…: or, that I should altogether pardon them}
But I will have mercyH7355 upon the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, and will saveH3467 them by the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and will not saveH3467 them by bowH7198, nor by swordH2719, nor by battleH4421, by horsesH5483, nor by horsemenH6571.
Now when she had weanedH1580 LoruhamahH3819, she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121.
Then saidH559 God, CallH7121 his nameH8034 LoammiH3818: for ye are not my peopleH5971, and I will not be your God. {Loammi: that is, Not my people}
Yet the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, which cannot be measuredH4058 nor numberedH5608; and it shall come to pass, that in the placeH4725 where it was saidH559 unto them, Ye are not my peopleH5971, there it shall be saidH559 unto them, Ye are the sonsH1121 of the livingH2416 GodH410. {in…: or, instead of that}
Then shall the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, and appointH7760 themselves oneH259 headH7218, and they shall come upH5927 out of the landH776: for greatH1419 shall be the dayH3117 of JezreelH3157.

And JehoashH3060 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in SamariaH8111 with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and JeroboamH3379 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoashH3060 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.

Now they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389: and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923; but they sentH7971 afterH310 him to LachishH3923, and slewH4191 him there.
And they broughtH5375 him on horsesH5483: and he was buriedH6912 at JerusalemH3389 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 AzariahH5838, which was sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and made him kingH4427 instead of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558.
He builtH1129 ElathH359, and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063, afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1.

And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
He restoredH7725 the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 of HamathH2574 unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 JonahH3124, the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, the prophetH5030, which was of GathhepherH1662.
For the LORDH3068 sawH7200 the afflictionH6040 of IsraelH3478, that it was veryH3966 bitterH4784: for there was notH657 any shut upH6113, nor any leftH5800, nor any helperH5826 for IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 not that he would blot outH4229 the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 from under heavenH8064: but he savedH3467 them by the handH3027 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JeroboamH3379, and all that he didH6213, and his mightH1369, how he warredH3898, and how he recoveredH7725 DamascusH1834, and HamathH2574, which belonged to JudahH3063, for IsraelH3478, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
And JeroboamH3379 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, even with the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478; and ZachariahH2148 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to MicahH4318 the MorasthiteH4183 in the daysH3117 of JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH3169, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which he sawH2372 concerning SamariaH8111 and JerusalemH3389.
In the twentyH6242+H8141 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
SixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twoH8147 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JecholiahH3203 of JerusalemH3389.
In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427.
Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JonahH3124 the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, sayingH559, {Jonah: Gr. Jonas}
In the seventeenthH7651+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427.
TwentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhazH271 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, and didH6213 not that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
But he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.
Then RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421: and they besiegedH6696 AhazH271, but couldH3201 not overcomeH3898 him.
At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 recoveredH7725 ElathH359 to SyriaH758+H130, and draveH5394 the JewsH3064 from ElathH359: and the SyriansH726 cameH935 to ElathH359, and dweltH3427 there unto this dayH3117. {from Elath: Heb. from Eloth}
So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, I am thy servantH5650 and thy sonH1121: come upH5927, and saveH3467 me out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which rise upH6965 against me.
And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a presentH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkenedH8085 unto him: for the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 went upH5927 against DamascusH1834, and tookH8610 it, and carried the people of it captiveH1540 to KirH7024, and slewH4191 RezinH7526. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And kingH4428 AhazH271 wentH3212 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7125 TiglathpileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 an altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834: and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the fashionH1823 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
And UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834: so UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834.
And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
And he burntH6999 his burnt offeringH5930 and his meat offeringH4503, and pouredH5258 his drink offeringH5262, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace offeringsH8002, upon the altarH4196. {his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}
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 kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burnH6999 the morningH1242 burnt offeringH5930, and the eveningH6153 meat offeringH4503, and the king'sH4428 burnt sacrificeH5930, and his meat offeringH4503, with the burnt offeringH5930 of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt offeringH5930, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificeH2077: and the brasenH5178 altarH4196 shall be for me to enquireH1239 by.
Thus didH6213 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680.
And kingH4428 AhazH271 cut offH7112 the bordersH4526 of the basesH4350, and removedH5493 the laverH3595 from off them; and took downH3381 the seaH3220 from off the brasenH5178 oxenH1241 that were under it, and putH5414 it upon a pavementH4837 of stonesH68.
And the covertH4329+H4329 for the sabbathH7676 that they had builtH1129 in the houseH1004, and the king'sH4428 entryH3996 withoutH2435, turnedH5437 he from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhazH271 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And AhazH271 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
In the eighthH8066 monthH2320, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Now it came to pass in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that HezekiahH2396 the sonH1121 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. {Hezekiah: he is called Ezekias}
TwentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AbiH21, the daughterH1323 of ZachariahH2148.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 didH6213.
He removedH5493 the high placesH1116, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and brake in piecesH3807 the brasenH5178 serpentH5175 that MosesH4872 had madeH6213: for unto those daysH3117 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did burn incenseH6999 to it: and he calledH7121 it NehushtanH5180. {images: Heb. statues} {Nehushtan: that is, A piece of brass}
He trustedH982 in the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; so that afterH310 him was none like him among all the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, nor any that were beforeH6440 him.
For he claveH1692 to the LORDH3068, and departedH5493 not from followingH310 him, but keptH8104 his commandmentsH4687, which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872. {from…: Heb. from after him}
And the LORDH3068 was with him; and he prosperedH7919 whithersoever he went forthH3318: and he rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and servedH5647 him not.
He smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, even unto GazaH5804, and the bordersH1366 thereof, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fencedH4013 cityH5892. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
And it came to pass in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, which was the seventhH7637 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 sonH1121 of ElahH425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it.
And at the endH7097 of threeH7969 yearsH8141 they tookH3920 it: even in the sixthH8337 yearH8141 of HezekiahH2396, that is the ninthH8672 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, SamariaH8111 was takenH3920.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 did carry awayH1540 IsraelH3478 unto AssyriaH804, and putH5148 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074:
Because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, but transgressedH5674 his covenantH1285, and all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, and would not hearH8085 them, nor doH6213 them.
Now in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 did SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 come upH5927 against all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them. {Sennacherib: Heb. Sanherib}
And HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to LachishH3923, sayingH559, I have offendedH2398; returnH7725 from me: that which thou puttestH5414 on me will I bearH5375. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 appointedH7760 unto HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and thirtyH7970 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.
And HezekiahH2396 gaveH5414 him all the silverH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004.
At that timeH6256 did HezekiahH2396 cut offH7112 the gold from the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and from the pillarsH547 which HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had overlaidH6823, and gaveH5414 it to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. {it: Heb. them}
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 TartanH8661 and RabsarisH7249 and RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 hostH2426 against JerusalemH3389. And they went upH5927 and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. And when they were come upH5927, they cameH935 and stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295, which is in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704. {great: Heb. heavy}
And when they had calledH7121 to the kingH4428, there came outH3318 to them EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, which was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142. {scribe: or, secretary}
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SpeakH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
Thou sayestH559, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697,) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for the warH4421. Now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me? {sayest: or, talkest} {vain…: Heb. word of the lips} {I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Now, behold, thou trustestH982 upon the staffH4938 of this bruisedH7533 reedH7070, even upon EgyptH4714, on which if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 unto all that trustH982 on him. {trustest: Heb. trustest thee}
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?
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledgesH6148 to my lordH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will deliverH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master'sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
Am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this placeH4725 to destroyH7843 it? The LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
Then saidH559 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, and ShebnaH7644, and JoahH3098, unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, to thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH762; for we understandH8085 it: and talkH1696 not with us in the Jews' languageH3066 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
But RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113, and to thee, to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sent me to the menH582 which sitH3427 on the wallH2346, that they may eatH398 their own dungH6675+H2755, and drinkH8354 their own pissH4325+H7272+H7890 with you? {their own piss: Heb. the water of their feet}
Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975 and criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' languageH3066, and spakeH1696, sayingH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804:
Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Let not HezekiahH2396 deceiveH5377 you: for he shall not be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 you out of his handH3027:
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us, and this cityH5892 shall not be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
HearkenH8085 not to HezekiahH2396: for thus saithH559 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, MakeH6213 an agreement with me by a presentH1293, and come outH3318 to me, and then eatH398 ye every manH376 of his own vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig treeH8384, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his cisternH953: {Make…: or, Seek my favour: Heb. Make with me a blessing} {cistern: or, pit}
Until I comeH935 and take you awayH3947 to a landH776 like your own landH776, a landH776 of cornH1715 and wineH8492, a landH776 of breadH3899 and vineyardsH3754, a landH776 of oilH3323 oliveH2132 and of honeyH1706, that ye may liveH2421, and not dieH4191: and hearkenH8085 not unto HezekiahH2396, when he persuadethH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. {persuadeth: or, deceiveth}
Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 at allH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574, and of ArpadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617, HenaH2012, and IvahH5755? have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of mine handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of the countriesH776, that have deliveredH5337 their countryH776 out of mine handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of mine handH3027?
But the peopleH5971 held their peaceH2790, and answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697: for the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687 was, sayingH559, AnswerH6030 him not.
Then cameH935 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, which was over the householdH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of AsaphH623 the recorderH2142, to HezekiahH2396 with their clothesH899 rentH7167, and toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262.
IfG1487 he calledG2036 themG1565 godsG2316, untoG4314 whomG3739 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 cameG1096, andG2532 the scriptureG1124 cannotG3756+G1410 be brokenG3089;
Then all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 tookH3947 UzziahH5818, who was sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and made him kingH4427 in the room of his fatherH1 AmaziahH558. {Uzziah: or, Azariah}
He builtH1129 ElothH359, and restoredH7725 it to JudahH3063, afterH310 that the kingH4428 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1.
SixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was UzziahH5818 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was JecoliahH3203 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 AmaziahH558 didH6213.
And he soughtH1875 GodH430 in the daysH3117 of ZechariahH2148, who had understandingH995 in the visionsH7200 of GodH430: and as long asH3117 he soughtH1875 the LORDH3068, GodH430 made him to prosperH6743. {in the visions…: Heb. in the seeing of God}
And he went forthH3318 and warredH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of GathH1661, and the wallH2346 of JabnehH2996, and the wallH2346 of AshdodH795, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 about AshdodH795, and among the PhilistinesH6430. {about…: or, in the country of Ashdod}
And GodH430 helpedH5826 him against the PhilistinesH6430, and against the ArabiansH6163 that dweltH3427 in GurbaalH1485, and the MehunimsH4586.
And the AmmonitesH5984 gaveH5414 giftsH4503 to UzziahH5818: and his nameH8034 spread abroadH3212 even to the enteringH935 in of EgyptH4714; for he strengthenedH2388 himself exceedinglyH4605. {spread…: Heb. went}
Moreover UzziahH5818 builtH1129 towersH4026 in JerusalemH3389 at the cornerH6438 gateH8179, and at the valleyH1516 gateH8179, and at the turningH4740 of the wall, and fortifiedH2388 them. {fortified: or, repaired}
Also he builtH1129 towersH4026 in the desertH4057, and diggedH2672 manyH7227 wellsH953: for he had muchH7227 cattleH4735, both in the low countryH8219, and in the plainsH4334: husbandmenH406 also, and vine dressersH3755 in the mountainsH2022, and in CarmelH3760: for he lovedH157 husbandryH127. {digged…: or, cut out many cisterns} {Carmel: or, fruitful fields} {husbandry: Heb. ground}
Moreover UzziahH5818 had an hostH2428 of fightingH4421 menH6213, that went outH3318 to warH6635 by bandsH1416, according to the numberH4557 of their accountH6486 by the handH3027 of JeielH3273 the scribeH5608 and MaaseiahH4641 the rulerH7860, under the handH3027 of HananiahH2608, one of the king'sH4428 captainsH8269.
The whole numberH4557 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 were two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And under their handH3027 was an armyH2428+H6635, threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967, that madeH6213 warH4421 with mightyH2428 powerH3581, to helpH5826 the kingH4428 against the enemyH341. {an army: Heb. the power of an army}
And UzziahH5818 preparedH3559 for them throughout all the hostH6635 shieldsH4043, and spearsH7420, and helmetsH3553, and habergeonsH8302, and bowsH7198, and slingsH7050 to cast stonesH68. {slings…: Heb. stones of slings}
And he madeH6213 in JerusalemH3389 enginesH2810, inventedH4284 by cunning menH2803, to be on the towersH4026 and upon the bulwarksH6438, to shootH3384 arrowsH2671 and greatH1419 stonesH68 withal. And his nameH8034 spreadH3318 far abroadH7350; for he was marvellouslyH6381 helpedH5826, tillH3588 he was strongH2388. {spread: Heb. went forth}
But when he was strongH2393, his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 to his destructionH7843: for he transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and wentH935 into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 to burn incenseH6999 upon the altarH4196 of incenseH7004.
And AzariahH5838 the priestH3548 went inH935 afterH310 him, and with him fourscoreH8084 priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, that were valiantH2428 menH1121:
And they withstoodH5975 UzziahH5818 the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, UzziahH5818, to burn incenseH6999 unto the LORDH3068, but to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, that are consecratedH6942 to burn incenseH6999: go outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720; for thou hast trespassedH4603; neither shall it be for thine honourH3519 from the LORDH3068 GodH430.
Then UzziahH5818 was wrothH2196, and had a censerH4730 in his handH3027 to burn incenseH6999: and while he was wrothH2196 with the priestsH3548, the leprosyH6883 even rose upH2224 in his foreheadH4696 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, from beside the incenseH7004 altarH4196.
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and all the priestsH3548, lookedH6437 upon him, and, behold, he was leprousH6879 in his foreheadH4696, and they thrust him outH926 from thence; yea, himself hastedH1765 also to go outH3318, because the LORDH3068 had smittenH5060 him.
And UzziahH5818 the kingH4428 was a leperH6879 unto the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, and dwelt inH3427 a severalH2669+H2669 houseH1004, being a leperH6879; for he was cut offH1504 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 was over the king'sH4428 houseH1004, judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. {several: Heb. free}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of UzziahH5818, firstH7223 and lastH314, did IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030, the sonH1121 of AmozH531, writeH3789.
So UzziahH5818 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the fieldH7704 of the burialH6900 which belonged to the kingsH4428; for they saidH559, He is a leperH6879: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
