The bookG976 of the generationG1078 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the sonG5207 of DavidG1138, the sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.
AbrahamG11 begatG1080 IsaacG2464; andG1161 IsaacG2464 begatG1080 JacobG2384; andG1161 JacobG2384 begatG1080 JudasG2455 andG2532 hisG846 brethrenG80;
AndG1161 JudasG2455 begatG1080 PharesG5329 andG2532 ZaraG2196 ofG1537 ThamarG2283; andG1161 PharesG5329 begatG1080 EsromG2074; andG1161 EsromG2074 begatG1080 AramG689;
AndG1161 AramG689 begatG1080 AminadabG284; andG1161 AminadabG284 begatG1080 NaassonG3476; andG1161 NaassonG3476 begatG1080 SalmonG4533;
AndG1161 SalmonG4533 begatG1080 BoozG1003 ofG1537 RachabG4477; andG1161 BoozG1003 begatG1080 ObedG5601 ofG1537 RuthG4503; andG1161 ObedG5601 begatG1080 JesseG2421;
AndG1161 JesseG2421 begatG1080 DavidG1138 the kingG935; andG1161 DavidG1138 the kingG935 begatG1080 SolomonG4672 ofG1537 herG3588 that had been the wife of UriasG3774;
AndG1161 SolomonG4672 begatG1080 RoboamG4497; andG1161 RoboamG4497 begatG1080 AbiaG7; andG1161 AbiaG7 begatG1080 AsaG760;
AndG1161 AsaG760 begatG1080 JosaphatG2498; andG1161 JosaphatG2498 begatG1080 JoramG2496; andG1161 JoramG2496 begatG1080 OziasG3604;
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.
Querverweise zu Matthäus 1,10 Mt 1,10
And HezekiahH2396 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1: and ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AmonH526 was twentyH6242 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was MeshullemethH4922, the daughterH1323 of HaruzH2743 of JotbahH3192.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as his fatherH1 ManassehH4519 didH6213.
And he walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 that his fatherH1 walked inH1980, and servedH5647 the idolsH1544 that his fatherH1 servedH5647, and worshippedH7812 them:
And he forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, and walkedH1980 not in the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068.
And the servantsH5650 of AmonH526 conspiredH7194 against him, and slewH4191 the kingH4428 in his own houseH1004.
And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 slewH5221 all them that had conspiredH7194 against kingH4428 AmonH526; and the peopleH5971 of the landH776 made JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmonH526 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And he was buriedH6912 in his sepulchreH6900 in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}
And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men'sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee.
ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HephzibahH2657.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, after the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For he built upH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH2396 his fatherH1 had destroyedH6; and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalH1168, and madeH6213 a groveH842, as didH6213 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a graven imageH6459 of the groveH842 that he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:
Neither will I make the feetH7272 of IsraelH3478 moveH5110 any moreH3254 out of the landH127 which I gaveH5414 their fathersH1; only if they will observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 them, and according to all the lawH8451 that my servantH5650 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them.
But they hearkenedH8085 not: and ManassehH4519 seducedH8582 them to doH6213 more evilH7451 than did the nationsH1471 whom the LORDH3068 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559,
Because ManassehH4519 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath doneH6213 these abominationsH8441, and hath done wickedlyH7489 above all that the AmoritesH567 didH6213, which were beforeH6440 him, and hath made JudahH3063 also to sinH2398 with his idolsH1544:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I am bringingH935 such evilH7451 upon JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, that whosoever hearethH8085 of it, bothH8147 his earsH241 shall tingleH6750.
And I will stretchH5186 over JerusalemH3389 the lineH6957 of SamariaH8111, and the plummetH4949 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: and I will wipeH4229 JerusalemH3389 as a man wipethH4229 a dishH6747, wipingH4229 it, and turningH2015 it upside downH6440. {wiping…: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}
And I will forsakeH5203 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall become a preyH957 and a spoilH4933 to all their enemiesH341;
Because they have doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in my sightH5869, and have provokedH4480 me to angerH3707, since the dayH3117 their fathersH1 came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117.
Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and all that he didH6213, and his sinH2403 that he sinnedH2398, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the gardenH1588 of his own houseH1004, in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
So ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in his own houseH1004: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AmonH526 was twoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
But he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as didH6213 ManassehH4519 his fatherH1: for AmonH526 sacrificedH2076 unto all the carved imagesH6456 which ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had madeH6213, and servedH5647 them;
And humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, as ManassehH4519 his fatherH1 had humbledH3665 himself; but AmonH526 trespassedH819 more and moreH7235. {trespassed more and more: Heb. multiplied trespass}
And his servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 against him, and slewH4191 him in his own houseH1004.
And he was buriedH6912 in his sepulchreH6900 in the gardenH1588 of UzzaH5798: and JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}
Surely at the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 came this upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493 them out of his sightH6440, for the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, according to all that he didH6213;
JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and oneH259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JedidahH3040, the daughterH1323 of AdaiahH5718 of BoscathH1218.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And it came to pass in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977, that the kingH4428 sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918, the scribeH5608, to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Go upH5927 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, that he may sumH8552 the silverH3701 which is broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which the keepersH8104 of the doorH5592 have gatheredH622 of the peopleH5971: {door: Heb. threshold}
And let them deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the doersH6213 of the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and let them giveH5414 it to the doersH6213 of the workH4399 which is in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004,
Unto carpentersH2796, and buildersH1129, and masonsH1443, and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewnH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the houseH1004.
Howbeit there was no reckoning madeH2803 with them of the moneyH3701 that was deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, because they dealtH6213 faithfullyH530.
And HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548 saidH559 unto ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 gaveH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227, and he readH7121 it.
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, and saidH559, Thy servantsH5650 have gatheredH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of them that doH6213 the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {gathered: Heb. melted}
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 shewedH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath deliveredH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MichaiahH4320, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsahiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559,
GoH3212 ye, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for the peopleH5971, and for all JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is kindledH3341 against us, because our fathersH1 have not hearkenedH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612, to doH6213 according unto all that which is writtenH3789 concerning us.
So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296, and AchborH5907, and ShaphanH8227, and AsahiahH6222, wentH3212 unto HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932;) and they communedH1696 with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the…: or, in the second part}
And she saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
But to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 which sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, thus shall ye sayH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, As touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou hast humbledH3665 thyself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when thou heardestH8085 what I spakeH1696 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should become a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and hast rentH7167 thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 beforeH6440 me; I also have heardH8085 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold therefore, I will gatherH622 thee unto thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 into thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965; and thine eyesH5869 shall not seeH7200 all the evilH7451 which I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725. And they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
And the kingH4428 sentH7971, and they gatheredH622 unto him all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and of JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 with him, and the priestsH3548, and the prophetsH5030, and all the peopleH5971, both smallH6996 and greatH1419: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 which was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {both…: Heb. from small even unto great}
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.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, and the priestsH3548 of the second orderH4932, and the keepersH8104 of the doorH5592, to bring forthH3318 out of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 all the vesselsH3627 that were madeH6213 for BaalH1168, and for the groveH842, and for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064: and he burnedH8313 them withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 in the fieldsH7709 of KidronH6939, and carriedH5375 the ashesH6083 of them unto BethelH1008.
And he put downH7673 the idolatrous priestsH3649, whom the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ordainedH5414 to burn incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the places round aboutH4524 JerusalemH3389; them also that burned incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, to the sunH8121, and to the moonH3394, and to the planetsH4208, and to all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064. {put…: Heb. caused to cease} {idolatrous…: Heb. Chemarim} {planets: or, twelve signs or, constellations}
And he brought outH3318 the groveH842 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389, unto the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and burnedH8313 it at the brookH5158 KidronH6939, and stamped it smallH1854 to powderH6083, and castH7993 the powderH6083 thereof upon the gravesH6913 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971.
And he brake downH5422 the housesH1004 of the sodomitesH6945, that were by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, where the womenH802 woveH707 hangingsH1004 for the groveH842. {hangings: Heb. houses}
And he broughtH935 all the priestsH3548 out of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and defiledH2930 the high placesH1116 where the priestsH3548 had burned incenseH6999, from GebaH1387 to BeershebaH884, and brake downH5422 the high placesH1116 of the gatesH8179 that were in the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179 of JoshuaH3091 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, which were on a man'sH376 left handH8040 at the gateH8179 of the cityH5892.
Nevertheless the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 came not upH5927 to the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389, but they did eatH398 of the unleavened breadH4682 amongH8432 their brethrenH251.
And he defiledH2930 TophethH8612, which is in the valleyH1516 of the childrenH1121+H1121 of HinnomH2011, that no manH376 might make his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 to MolechH4432.
And he took awayH7673 the horsesH5483 that the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had givenH5414 to the sunH8121, at the entering inH935 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the chamberH3957 of NathanmelechH5419 the chamberlainH5631, which was in the suburbsH6503, and burnedH8313 the chariotsH4818 of the sunH8121 with fireH784. {chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer}
And the altarsH4196 that were on the topH1406 of the upper chamberH5944 of AhazH271, which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had madeH6213, and the altarsH4196 which ManassehH4519 had madeH6213 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, did the kingH4428 beat downH5422, and brake them downH7323 from thence, and castH7993 the dustH6083 of them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939. {brake…: or, ran from thence}
And the high placesH1116 that were beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, which were on the right handH3225 of the mountH2022 of corruptionH4889, which SolomonH8010 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had buildedH1129 for AshtorethH6253 the abominationH8251 of the ZidoniansH6722, and for ChemoshH3645 the abominationH8251 of the MoabitesH4124, and for MilcomH4445 the abominationH8441 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, did the kingH4428 defileH2930. {the mount…: that is, the mount of Olives}
And he brake in piecesH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH3772 the grovesH842, and filledH4390 their placesH4725 with the bonesH6106 of menH120. {images: Heb. statues}
Moreover the altarH4196 that was at BethelH1008, and the high placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the high placeH1116 he brake downH5422, and burnedH8313 the high placeH1116, and stampedH1854 it small to powderH6083, and burnedH8313 the groveH842.
And as JosiahH2977 turnedH6437 himself, he spiedH7200 the sepulchresH6913 that were there in the mountH2022, and sentH7971, and tookH3947 the bonesH6106 out of the sepulchresH6913, and burnedH8313 them upon the altarH4196, and pollutedH2930 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which the manH376 of GodH430 proclaimedH7121, who proclaimedH7121 these wordsH1697.
Then he saidH559, What titleH6725 is thatH1975 that I seeH7200? And the menH582 of the cityH5892 toldH559 him, It is the sepulchreH6913 of the manH376 of GodH430, which cameH935 from JudahH3063, and proclaimedH7121 these thingsH1697 that thou hast doneH6213 against the altarH4196 of BethelH1008.
And he saidH559, Let him aloneH3240; let no manH376 moveH5128 his bonesH6106. So they let his bonesH6106 aloneH4422, with the bonesH6106 of the prophetH5030 that came outH935 of SamariaH8111. {bones alone: Heb. bones to escape}
And all the housesH1004 also of the high placesH1116 that were in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, which the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 to provoke the LORD to angerH3707, JosiahH2977 took awayH5493, and didH6213 to them according to all the actsH4639 that he had doneH6213 in BethelH1008.
And he slewH2076 all the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that were there upon the altarsH4196, and burnedH8313 men'sH120 bonesH6106 upon them, and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {slew: or, sacrificed}
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, KeepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this covenantH1285.
Surely there was not holdenH6213 such a passoverH6453 from the daysH3117 of the judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 IsraelH3478, nor in all the daysH3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, nor of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063;
But in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977, wherein this passoverH6453 was holdenH6213 to the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389.
Moreover the workers with familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, and the imagesH8655, and the idolsH1544, and all the abominationsH8251 that were spiedH7200 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389, did JosiahH2977 put awayH1197, that he might performH6965 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451 which were writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 that HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {images: or, teraphim}
And like unto him was there no kingH4428 beforeH6440 him, that turnedH7725 to the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, and with all his mightH3966, according to all the lawH8451 of MosesH4872; neither afterH310 him aroseH6965 there any like him.
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 the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will removeH5493 JudahH3063 also out of my sightH6440, as I have removedH5493 IsraelH3478, and will cast offH3988 this cityH5892 JerusalemH3389 which I have chosenH977, and the houseH1004 of which I saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
In his daysH3117 PharaohnechohH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 went upH5927 against the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 to the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: and kingH4428 JosiahH2977 wentH3212 againstH7125 him; and he slewH4191 him at MegiddoH4023, when he had seenH7200 him.
And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariotH7392 deadH4191 from MegiddoH4023, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his own sepulchreH6900. And the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and anointedH4886 him, and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 stead.
AhazH271 his sonH1121, HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121, ManassehH4519 his sonH1121,
AmonH526 his sonH1121, JosiahH2977 his sonH1121.
And the sonsH1121 of JosiahH2977 were, the firstbornH1060 JohananH3110, the secondH8145 JehoiakimH3079, the thirdH7992 ZedekiahH6667, the fourthH7243 ShallumH7967. {Johanan: or, Jehochaz 2.kin.23.30.} {Jehoiakim: or, Eliakim 2.kin.23.34.} {Zedekiah: or, Mathaniah.2.kin.24.17.}
But the peopleH5971 of the landH776 slewH5221 all them that had conspiredH7194 against kingH4428 AmonH526; and the peopleH5971 of the landH776 madeH4427 JosiahH2977 his sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead.
And HezekiahH3169 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the chiefestH4608 of the sepulchresH6913 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 did himH6213 honourH3519 at his deathH4194. And ManassehH4519 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {chiefest: or, highest}
JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 oneH259 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the waysH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and declinedH5493 neither to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
And they brake downH5422 the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665, and made dustH1854 of them, and strowedH2236 it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burntH8313 the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 upon their altarsH4196, and cleansedH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. {mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken downH5422 the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807 the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854, and cut downH1438 all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {into…: Heb. to make powder}
Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, when he had purgedH2891 the landH776, and the houseH1004, he sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, and MaaseiahH4641 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 the recorderH2142, to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And when they cameH935 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, they deliveredH5414 the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430, which the LevitesH3881 that keptH8104 the doorsH5592 had gatheredH622 of the handH3027 of ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, and of all the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478, and of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; and they returnedH7725+H3427 to JerusalemH3389.
And they putH5414 it in the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399 that had the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and they gaveH5414 it to the workmenH6213+H4399 that wroughtH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH918 and amendH2388 the houseH1004:
Even to the artificersH2796 and buildersH1129 gaveH5414 they it, to buyH7069 hewnH4274 stoneH68, and timberH6086 for couplingsH4226, and to floorH7136 the housesH1004 which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had destroyedH7843. {to floor: or, to rafter}
And the menH582 didH6213 the workH4399 faithfullyH530: and the overseersH5329 of them were JahathH3189 and ObadiahH5662, the LevitesH3881, of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; and ZechariahH2148 and MeshullamH4918, of the sons of the KohathitesH6956, to set it forwardH6485; and other of the LevitesH3881, all that could skillH995 of instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892.
Also they were over the bearers of burdensH5449, and were overseersH5329 of all that wroughtH6213 the workH4399 in any manner of serviceH5656: and of the LevitesH3881 there were scribesH5608, and officersH7860, and portersH7778.
And when they brought outH3318 the moneyH3701 that was brought intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 a bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH3027 MosesH4872. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And HilkiahH2518 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 deliveredH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227.
And ShaphanH8227 carriedH935 the bookH5612 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 backH7725 again, sayingH559, All that was committedH5414 toH3027 thy servantsH5650, they doH6213 it. {to thy…: Heb. to the hand of, etc}
And they have gathered togetherH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of the overseersH6485, and to the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399. {gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}
Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath givenH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {it: Heb. in it}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of MicahH4318, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559, {Abdon: or, Achbor}
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And HilkiahH2518, and they that the kingH4428 had appointed, wentH3212 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvathH8616+H8445, the sonH1121 of HasrahH2641, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932:) and they spakeH1696 to her to that effect. {Hasrah: or, Harhas, 2.kings.22.14.} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}
And she answeredH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 ye the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 which they have readH7121 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999+H6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be poured outH5413 upon this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
And as forH413 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, so shall ye sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 concerning the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself beforeH6440 GodH430, when thou heardestH8085 his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and humbledstH3665 thyself beforeH6440 me, and didst rendH7167 thy clothesH899, and weepH1058 beforeH6440 me; I have even heardH8085 thee also, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will gatherH622 thee to thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 to thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965, neither shall thine eyesH5869 seeH7200 all the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the same. So they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 and gathered togetherH622 all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
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}
And JosiahH2977 took awayH5493 all the abominationsH8441 out of all the countriesH776 that pertained to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and made all that were presentH4672 in IsraelH3478 to serveH5647, even to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. And all his daysH3117 they departedH5493 not from followingH310 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found} {from…: Heb. from after}
ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389:
But didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, like unto the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For he builtH1129 againH7725 the high placesH1116 which HezekiahH3169 his fatherH1 had broken downH5422, and he reared upH6965 altarsH4196 for BaalimH1168, and madeH6213 grovesH842, and worshippedH7812 all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, and servedH5647 them. {he built…: Heb. he returned and built}
Also he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whereof the LORDH3068 had saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 shall my nameH8034 be for everH5769.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he causedH5674 his childrenH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011: also he observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and used witchcraftH3784, and dealtH6213 with a familiar spiritH178, and with wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a carved imageH6459, the idolH5566 which he had madeH6213, in the houseH1004 of GodH430, of which GodH430 had saidH559 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 before all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5865:
Neither will I any moreH3254 removeH5493 the footH7272 of IsraelH3478 from outH5921 of the landH127 which I have appointedH5975 for your fathersH1; so thatH518 they will take heedH8104 to doH6213 all that I have commandedH6680 them, according to the whole lawH8451 and the statutesH2706 and the ordinancesH4941 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
So ManassehH4519 madeH8582 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to errH8582, and to doH6213 worseH7451 than the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 had destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to ManassehH4519, and to his peopleH5971: but they would not hearkenH7181.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them the captains ofH8269 the host ofH6635 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, which tookH3920 ManassehH4519 among the thornsH2336, and bound himH631 with fettersH5178, and carriedH3212 him to BabylonH894. {of the king: Heb. which were the king's} {fetters: or, chains}
And when he was in afflictionH6887, he besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 himself greatlyH3966 beforeH6440 the GodH430 of his fathersH1,
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
Now after thisH310 he builtH1129 a wallH2346 withoutH2435 the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, on the west sideH4628 of GihonH1521, in the valleyH5158, even to the entering inH935 at the fishH1709 gateH8179, and compassedH5437 about OphelH6077, and raised it upH1361 a very great heightH3966, and putH7760 captainsH8269 of warH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. {Ophel: or, the tower}
And he took awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430, and the idolH5566 out of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the altarsH4196 that he had builtH1129 in the mountH2022 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in JerusalemH3389, and castH7993 them outH2351 of the cityH5892.
And he repairedH1129 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 thereon peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 and thank offeringsH8426, and commandedH559 JudahH3063 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
NeverthelessH61 the peopleH5971 did sacrificeH2076 still in the high placesH1116, yet unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430 only.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ManassehH4519, and his prayerH8605 unto his GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of the seersH2374 that spakeH1696 to him in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, behold, they are written in the bookH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}
Moreover JosiahH2977 keptH6213 a passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389: and they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And he setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their chargesH4931, and encouragedH2388 them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And prepareH3559+H3559 yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
And stand inH5975 the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121+H5971, and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the LevitesH3881. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
So killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And JosiahH2977 gaveH7311 to the peopleH1121+H5971, of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kidsH1121+H5795, all for the passover offeringsH6453, for all that were presentH4672, to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocksH1241: these were of the king'sH4428 substanceH7399. {gave: Heb. offered}
And his princesH8269 gaveH7311 willinglyH5071 unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881: HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, rulersH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414 unto the priestsH3548 for the passover offeringsH6453 two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattle, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}
ConaniahH3562 also, and ShemaiahH8098 and NethaneelH5417, his brethrenH251, and HashabiahH2811 and JeielH3273 and JozabadH3107, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, gaveH7311 unto the LevitesH3881 for passover offeringsH6453 fiveH2568 thousandH505 small cattle, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave: Heb. offered}
So the serviceH5656 was preparedH3559, and the priestsH3548 stoodH5975 in their placeH5977, and the LevitesH3881 in their coursesH4256, according to the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687.
And they killedH7819 the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the blood from their handsH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayedH6584 them.
And they removedH5493 the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414 according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the peopleH1121+H5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310 they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323 among all the peopleH1121+H5971. {divided…: Heb. made them run}
And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927 of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
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}
So all the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559 the same dayH3117, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 at that timeH6256, and the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {present: Heb. found}
And there was no passoverH6453 likeH3644 to that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neither didH6213 all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 such a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. {present: Heb. found}
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JosiahH2977 was this passoverH6453 keptH6213.
AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559 the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 to fightH3898 against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318 againstH7125 him. {temple: Heb. house}
But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not. {the house…: Heb. the house of my war}
Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437 his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664 himself, that he might fightH3898 with him, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935 to fightH3898 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023.
And the archersH3384 shotH3384 at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470. {wounded: Heb. made sick}
His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674 him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392 him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56 for JosiahH2977. {in one…: or, among the sepulchres}
And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969 for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891 and the singing womenH7891 spakeH559 of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414 them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the lamentationsH7015.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and his goodnessH2617, according to that which was writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, {goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
And his deedsH1697, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
To whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.
It came also in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the endH8552 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the carrying awayH1540 of JerusalemH3389 captiveH1540 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320.
