So AbijahH29 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732: and AsaH609 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. In his daysH3117 the landH776 was quietH8252 tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And AsaH609 didH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
For he took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 of the strangeH5236 gods, and the high placesH1116, and brake downH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842: {images: Heb. statues}
And commandedH559 JudahH3063 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and to doH6213 the lawH8451 and the commandmentH4687.
Also he took awayH5493 out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 the high placesH1116 and the imagesH2553: and the kingdomH4467 was quietH8252 beforeH6440 him. {images: Heb. sun images}
And he builtH1129 fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: for the landH776 had restH8252, and he had no warH4421 in those yearsH8141; because the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117.
Therefore he saidH559 unto JudahH3063, Let us buildH1129 these citiesH5892, and make aboutH5437 them wallsH2346, and towersH4026, gatesH1817, and barsH1280, while the landH776 is yet beforeH6440 us; because we have soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, we have soughtH1875 him, and he hath given us restH5117 on every sideH5439. So they builtH1129 and prosperedH6743.
And AsaH609 had an armyH2428 of men that bareH5375 targetsH6793 and spearsH7420, out of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505; and out of BenjaminH1144, that bareH5375 shieldsH4043 and drewH1869 bowsH7198, two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505: all these were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And there came outH3318 against them ZerahH2226 the EthiopianH3569 with an hostH2428 of a thousandH505 thousandH505, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 chariotsH4818; and cameH935 unto MareshahH4762.
Then AsaH609 went outH3318 againstH6440 him, and they set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 in the valleyH1516 of ZephathahH6859 at MareshahH4762.
And AsaH609 criedH7121 unto the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, it is nothing with thee to helpH5826, whetherH996 with manyH7227, or with them that have no powerH3581: helpH5826 us, O LORDH3068 our GodH430; for we restH8172 on thee, and in thy nameH8034 we goH935 against this multitudeH1995. O LORDH3068, thou art our GodH430; let not manH582 prevailH6113 against thee. {man: or, mortal man}
So the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 the EthiopiansH3569 beforeH6440 AsaH609, and beforeH6440 JudahH3063; and the EthiopiansH3569 fledH5127.
And AsaH609 and the peopleH5971 that were with him pursuedH7291 them unto GerarH1642: and the EthiopiansH3569 were overthrownH5307, that they could not recoverH4241 themselves; for they were destroyedH7665 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his hostH4264; and they carried awayH5375 veryH3966 muchH7235 spoilH7998. {destroyed: Heb. broken}
And they smoteH5221 all the citiesH5892 round aboutH5439 GerarH1642; for the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 came upon them: and they spoiledH962 all the citiesH5892; for there was exceeding muchH7227 spoilH961 in them.
They smoteH5221 also the tentsH168 of cattleH4735, and carried awayH7617 sheepH6629 and camelsH1581 in abundanceH7230, and returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
JoashH3101 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was ZibiahH6645 of BeershebaH884.
And JoashH3101 didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548.
And JehoiadaH3077 tookH5375 for him twoH8147 wivesH802; and he begatH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.
And it came to pass afterH310 this, that JoashH3101 was mindedH3820 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {to repair: Heb. to renew}
And he gathered togetherH6908 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and saidH559 to them, Go outH3318 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and gatherH6908 of all IsraelH3478 moneyH3701 to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of your GodH430 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141, and see that ye hastenH4116 the matterH1697. Howbeit the LevitesH3881 hastenedH4116 it not.
And the kingH4428 calledH7121 for JehoiadaH3077 the chiefH7218, and saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou not requiredH1875 of the LevitesH3881 to bring inH935 out of JudahH3063 and out of JerusalemH3389 the collectionH4864, according to the commandment of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, and of the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, for the tabernacleH168 of witnessH5715?
For the sonsH1121 of AthaliahH6271, that wickedH4849 woman, had broken upH6555 the houseH1004 of GodH430; and also all the dedicated thingsH6944 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 did they bestowH6213 upon BaalimH1168.
And at the king'sH4428 commandmentH559 they madeH6213 aH259 chestH727, and setH5414 it withoutH2351 at the gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they madeH5414 a proclamationH6963 through JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, to bring inH935 to the LORDH3068 the collectionH4864 that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 laid upon IsraelH3478 in the wildernessH4057. {a proclamation: Heb. a voice}
And all the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, and brought inH935, and castH7993 into the chestH727, until they had made an endH3615.
Now it came to pass, that at what timeH6256 the chestH727 was broughtH935 unto the king'sH4428 officeH6486 by the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881, and when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701, the king'sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH7218 priest'sH3548 officerH6496 cameH935 and emptiedH6168 the chestH727, and tookH5375 it, and carriedH7725 it to his placeH4725 againH7725. Thus they didH6213 dayH3117 by dayH3117, and gatheredH622 moneyH3701 in abundanceH7230.
And the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077 gaveH5414 it to such as didH6213 the workH4399 of the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and hiredH7936 masonsH2672 and carpentersH2796 to repairH2318 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and also such as wroughtH2796 ironH1270 and brassH5178 to mendH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
So the workmenH4399+H6213 wroughtH6213, and the workH4399 wasH5927 perfectedH724 by themH3027, and they setH5975 the houseH1004 of GodH430 in his stateH4971, and strengthenedH553 it. {the work…: Heb. the healing went up upon the work}
And when they had finishedH3615 it, they broughtH935 the restH7605 of the moneyH3701 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and JehoiadaH3077, whereof were madeH6213 vesselsH3627 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, even vesselsH3627 to ministerH8335, and to offerH5927 withal, and spoonsH3709, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701. And they offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548 all the daysH3117 of JehoiadaH3077. {to offer…: or, pestils}
But JehoiadaH3077 waxed oldH2204, and was fullH7646 of daysH3117 when he diedH4191; an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he diedH4194.
And they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 among the kingsH4428, because he had doneH6213 goodH2896 in IsraelH3478, both toward GodH430, and toward his houseH1004.
Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of JehoiadaH3077 cameH935 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and made obeisanceH7812 to the kingH4428. Then the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 unto them.
And they leftH5800 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and servedH5647 grovesH842 and idolsH6091: and wrathH7110 came upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for this their trespassH819.
Yet he sentH7971 prophetsH5030 to them, to bring them againH7725 unto the LORDH3068; and they testifiedH5749 against them: but they would not give earH238.
And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH3847 upon ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, which stoodH5975 above the peopleH5971, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 GodH430, Why transgressH5674 ye the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, that ye cannot prosperH6743? because ye have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, he hath also forsakenH5800 you. {came…: Heb. clothed}
And they conspiredH7194 against him, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68 at the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 in the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Thus JoashH3101 the kingH4428 rememberedH2142 not the kindnessH2617 which JehoiadaH3077 his fatherH1 had doneH6213 to him, but slewH2026 his sonH1121. And when he diedH4194, he saidH559, The LORDH3068 lookH7200 upon it, and requireH1875 it.
And it came to pass at the endH8622 of the yearH8141, that the hostH2428 of SyriaH758 came upH5927 against him: and they cameH935 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and destroyedH7843 all the princesH8269 of the peopleH5971 from among the peopleH5971, and sentH7971 all the spoilH7998 of them unto the kingH4428 of DamascusH1834. {at the…: Heb. in the revolution of the year} {Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}
For the armyH2428 of the SyriansH758 cameH935 with a smallH4705 company of menH582, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 a veryH3966 greatH7230 hostH2428 into their handH3027, because they had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. So they executedH6213 judgmentH8201 against JoashH3101.
And when they were departedH3212 from him, (for they leftH5800 him in greatH7227 diseasesH4251,) his own servantsH5650 conspiredH7194 against him for the bloodH1818 of the sonsH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, and slewH2026 him on his bedH4296, and he diedH4191: and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but they buriedH6912 him not in the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428.
And these are they that conspiredH7194 against him; ZabadH2066 the sonH1121 of ShimeathH8100 an AmmonitessH5985, and JehozabadH3075 the sonH1121 of ShimrithH8116 a MoabitessH4125. {Zabad: or, Jozacher} {Shimrith: or, Shomer}
Now concerning his sonsH1121, and the greatnessH7235+H7230 of the burdensH4853 laid upon him, and the repairingH3247 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the storyH4097 of the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428. And AmaziahH558 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {repairing: Heb. founding} {story: or, commentary}
Now after the timeH6256 that AmaziahH558 did turn awayH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068 they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971 to LachishH3923 afterH310 him, and slewH4191 him there. {from…: Heb. from after} {made…: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
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.
But HezekiahH3169 rendered not againH7725 according to the benefitH1576 done unto him; for his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361: therefore there was wrathH7110 upon him, and upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
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.
