AndG1161 SolomonG4672 begatG1080 RoboamG4497; andG1161 RoboamG4497 begatG1080 AbiaG7; andG1161 AbiaG7 begatG1080 AsaG760;

AndG1161 OziasG3604 begatG1080 JoathamG2488; andG1161 JoathamG2488 begatG1080 AchazG881; andG1161 AchazG881 begatG1080 EzekiasG1478;
AndG1161 EzekiasG1478 begatG1080 ManassesG3128; andG1161 ManassesG3128 begatG1080 AmonG300; andG1161 AmonG300 begatG1080 JosiasG2502;
AndG1161 JosiasG2502 begatG1080 JechoniasG2423 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80, about the timeG1909 they were carried awayG3350 to BabylonG897: {Josias…: some read, Josias begat Jakim, and Jakim begat Jechonias}
AndG1161 afterG3326 they were broughtG3350 to BabylonG897, JechoniasG2423 begatG1080 SalathielG4528; andG1161 SalathielG4528 begatG1080 ZorobabelG2216;
AndG1161 ZorobabelG2216 begatG1080 AbiudG10; andG1161 AbiudG10 begatG1080 EliakimG1662; andG1161 EliakimG1662 begatG1080 AzorG107;
AndG1161 AzorG107 begatG1080 SadocG4524; andG1161 SadocG4524 begatG1080 AchimG885; andG1161 AchimG885 begatG1080 EliudG1664;
AndG1161 EliudG1664 begatG1080 EleazarG1648; andG1161 EleazarG1648 begatG1080 MatthanG3157; andG1161 MatthanG3157 begatG1080 JacobG2384;
AndG1161 JacobG2384 begatG1080 JosephG2501 the husbandG435 of MaryG3137, ofG1537 whomG3739 was bornG1080 JesusG2424, whoG3588 is calledG3004 ChristG5547.
SoG3767 allG3956 the generationsG1074 fromG575 AbrahamG11 toG2193 DavidG1138 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; andG2532 fromG575 DavidG1138 untilG2193 the carrying awayG3350 into BabylonG897 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074; andG2532 fromG575 the carrying awayG3350 into BabylonG897 untoG2193 ChristG5547 are fourteenG1180 generationsG1074.
NowG1161 the birthG1083 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 wasG2258 on this wiseG3779: When asG1063 hisG846 motherG3384 MaryG3137 was espousedG3423 to JosephG2501, beforeG4250+G2228 theyG846 came togetherG4905, she was foundG2147 with childG1722+G1064+G2192 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ThenG1161 JosephG2501 herG846 husbandG435, beingG5607 a justG1342 man, andG2532 notG3361 willingG2309 to makeG3856 herG846 a publick exampleG3856, was mindedG1014 to putG630 herG846 awayG630 privilyG2977.
ButG1161 while heG846 thought onG1760 these thingsG5023, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 unto himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 notG3361 to takeG3880 unto theeG4675 MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: forG1063 that which is conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG2076 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {conceived: Gr. begotten}
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
NowG1161 allG3650 thisG5124 was doneG1096, thatG2443 it might be fulfilledG4137 whichG3588 was spokenG4483 ofG5259 the LordG2962 byG1223 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,
BeholdG2400, a virginG3933 shall be with childG1722+G1064+G2192, andG2532 shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 they shall callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 EmmanuelG1694, whichG3739 being interpretedG3177 isG2076, GodG2316 withG3326 usG2257. {they…: or, his name shall be called}
ThenG1161 JosephG2501 being raisedG1326 fromG575 sleepG5258 didG4160 asG5613 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 had biddenG4367 himG846, andG2532 tookG3880 unto himG846 his wifeG1135:
AndG2532 knewG1097 herG846 notG3756 tillG2193+G3739 she had brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207: andG2532 he calledG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424.

So AzariahH5838 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
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 secondH8147 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427.
FiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JerushaH3388, the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he didH6213 according to all that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had doneH6213.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not removedH5493: the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076 and burned incenseH6999 still in the high placesH1116. He builtH1129 the higherH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
In those daysH3117 the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to sendH7971 against JudahH3063 RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425.
And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
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.
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}
JoramH3141 his sonH1121, AhaziahH274 his sonH1121, JoashH3101 his sonH1121, {Ahaziah: or, Azariah 2.Chr.22.6.& 21.17.}
AmaziahH558 his sonH1121, AzariahH5838 his sonH1121, JothamH3147 his sonH1121, {Azariah: or, Uzziah 2.king.15.30.}
AhazH271 his sonH1121, HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121, ManassehH4519 his sonH1121,
And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
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.
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}
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.
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.
JothamH3147 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was JerushahH3388, the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 didH6213: howbeit he enteredH935 not into the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068. And the peopleH5971 did yet corruptlyH7843.
He builtH1129 the highH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and on the wallH2346 of OphelH6077 he builtH1129 muchH7230. {Ophel: or, the tower}
Moreover he builtH1129 citiesH5892 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and in the forestsH2793 he builtH1129 castlesH1003 and towersH4026.
He foughtH3898 also with the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH5984, and prevailedH2388 against them. And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 gaveH5414 him the same yearH8141 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and tenH6235 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of wheatH2406, and tenH6235 thousandH505 of barleyH8184. So much did the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 payH7725 untoH2063 him, both the secondH8145 yearH8141, and the thirdH7992. {So…: Heb. This}
So JothamH3147 became mightyH2388, because he preparedH3559 his waysH1870 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430. {prepared: or, established}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147, and all his warsH4421, and his waysH1870, lo, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
He was fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 sixteenH8337+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147, the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, went upH5927 toward JerusalemH3389 to warH4421 against it, but couldH3201 not prevailH3898 against it.
And it was toldH5046 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, sayingH559, SyriaH758 is confederateH5117 with EphraimH669. And his heartH3824 was movedH5128, and the heartH3824 of his peopleH5971, as the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 are movedH5128 withH6440 the windH7307. {is confederate…: Heb. resteth on}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto IsaiahH3470, Go forthH3318 now to meetH7125 AhazH271, thou, and ShearjashubH7610 thy sonH1121, at the endH7097 of the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704; {Shearjashub: that is, The remnant shall return} {highway: or, causeway}
And sayH559 unto him, Take heedH8104, and be quietH8252; fearH3372 not, neither be faintheartedH7401+H3824 for the twoH8147 tailsH2180 of these smokingH6226 firebrandsH181, for the fierceH2750 angerH639 of RezinH7526 with SyriaH758, and of the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. {neither…: Heb. let not thy heart be tender}
Because SyriaH758, EphraimH669, and the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, have taken evilH7451 counselH3289 against thee, sayingH559,
Let us go upH5927 against JudahH3063, and vexH6973 it, and let us make a breachH1234 therein for us, and setH4427 a kingH4428 in the midstH8432 of it, even the sonH1121 of TabealH2870: {vex: or, waken}
ThusH3541 saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, It shall not standH6965, neither shall it come to pass.
For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971. {that…: Heb. from a people}
And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539. {If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 againH3254 unto AhazH271, sayingH559, {Moreover…: Heb. And the LORD added to speak}
AskH7592 thee a signH226 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; askH7592 it either in the depthH6009, or in the heightH1361 aboveH4605. {ask it…: or, make thy petition deep}
But AhazH271 saidH559, I will not askH7592, neither will I temptH5254+H853 the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye now, O houseH1004 of DavidH1732; Is it a small thingH4592 for you to wearyH3811 menH582, but will ye wearyH3811 my GodH430 also?
Now it came to pass in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, that SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 against all the defencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and tookH8610 them.
And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 sentH7971 RabshakehH7262 from LachishH3923 to JerusalemH3389 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 with a greatH3515 armyH2426. And he stoodH5975 by the conduitH8585 of the upperH5945 poolH1295 in the highwayH4546 of the fuller'sH3526 fieldH7704.
Then came forthH3318 unto him EliakimH471, Hilkiah'sH2518 sonH1121, which was over the houseH1004, and ShebnaH7644 the scribeH5608, and JoahH3098, Asaph'sH623 sonH1121, the recorderH2142. {scribe: or, secretary}
And RabshakehH7262 saidH559 unto them, SayH559 ye now to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the greatH1419 kingH4428, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, What confidenceH986 is this wherein thou trustestH982?
I sayH559, sayest thou, (but they are but vainH8193 wordsH1697) I have counselH6098 and strengthH1369 for warH4421: now on whom dost thou trustH982, that thou rebellestH4775 against me? {vain…: Heb. a word of lips} {I have…: or, but counsel and strength are for the war}
Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.
But if thou sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is it not he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
Now therefore give pledgesH6148, I pray thee, to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 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?
And am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this landH776 to destroyH7843 it? the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
Then saidH559 EliakimH471 and ShebnaH7644 and JoahH3098 unto RabshakehH7262, SpeakH1696, I pray thee, unto thy servantsH5650 in the Syrian languageH762; for we understandH8085 it: and speakH1696 not to us in the Jews' languageH3066, in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 that are on the wallH2346.
But RabshakehH7262 saidH559, Hath my masterH113 sentH7971 me to thy masterH113 and to thee to speakH1696 these wordsH1697? hath he not sent me to the menH582 that sitH3427 upon the wallH2346, that they may eatH398 their own dungH2716+H6675, and drinkH8354 their own pissH4325+H7272+H7890 with you?
Then RabshakehH7262 stoodH5975, and criedH7121 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 in the Jews' languageH3066, and saidH559, HearH8085 ye the wordsH1697 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.
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us: 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 eatH398 ye every oneH376 of his vineH1612, and every oneH376 of his fig treeH8384, and drinkH8354 ye every oneH376 the watersH4325 of his own cisternH953; {Make…: or, Seek my favour by a present: Heb. Make with me a blessing}
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.
Beware lest HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and ArphadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617? and have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of my handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of these landsH776, that have deliveredH5337 their landH776 out of my handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of my handH3027?
But they 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, that 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.
