And his firstbornH1060 sonH1121 AbdonH5658, then ZurH6698, and KishH7027, and BaalH1168, and NerH5369, and NadabH5070,
And GedorH1446, and AhioH283, and ZechariahH2148, and MiklothH4732.
And MiklothH4732 begatH3205 ShimeamH8043. And they also dweltH3427 with their brethrenH251 at JerusalemH3389, over against their brethrenH251.
And NerH5369 begatH3205 KishH7027; and KishH7027 begatH3205 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 begatH3205 JonathanH3083, and MalchishuaH4444, and AbinadabH41, and EshbaalH792.
And the sonH1121 of JonathanH3083 was MeribbaalH4807: and MeribbaalH4810 begatH3205 MicahH4318.
And the sonsH1121 of MicahH4318 were, PithonH6377, and MelechH4429, and TahreaH8475, and Ahaz.
And AhazH271 begatH3205 JarahH3294; and JarahH3294 begatH3205 AlemethH5964, and AzmavethH5820, and ZimriH2174; and ZimriH2174 begatH3205 MozaH4162;
And MozaH4162 begatH3205 BineaH1150; and RephaiahH7509 his sonH1121, EleasahH501 his sonH1121, AzelH682 his sonH1121.
And AzelH682 had sixH8337 sonsH1121, whose namesH8034 are these, AzrikamH5840, BocheruH1074, and IshmaelH3458, and SheariahH8187, and ObadiahH5662, and HananH2605: these were the sonsH1121 of AzelH682.
Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fell downH5307 slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533. {slain: or, wounded}
And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hardH1692 afterH310 SaulH7586, and afterH310 his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221 JonathanH3129, and AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444, the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586. {Abinadab: also called, Ishui.I.Sam.14.49.}
And the battleH4421 went soreH3513 against SaulH7586, and the archersH3384+H7198 hitH4672 him, and he was woundedH2342 of the archersH3384. {and the archers: Heb. and the shooters with bows} {hit: Heb. found}
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his armourbearerH5375+H3627, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and thrustH1856 me through therewith; lest these uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935 and abuseH5953 me. But his armourbearerH5375+H3627 wouldH14 not; for he was soreH3966 afraidH3372. So SaulH7586 tookH3947 a swordH2719, and fellH5307 upon it. {abuse me: or, mock me}
And when his armourbearerH5375+H3627 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was deadH4191, he fellH5307 likewise on the swordH2719, and diedH4191.
So SaulH7586 diedH4191, and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and all his houseH1004 diedH4191 togetherH3162.
And when all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 that were in the valleyH6010 sawH7200 that they fledH5127, and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191, then they forsookH5800 their citiesH5892, and fledH5127: and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in them.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 to stripH6584 the slainH2491, that they foundH4672 SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 fallenH5307 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
And when they had strippedH6584 him, they tookH5375 his headH7218, and his armourH3627, and sentH7971 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 round aboutH5439, to carry tidingsH1319 unto their idolsH6091, and to the peopleH5971.
And they putH7760 his armourH3627 in the houseH1004 of their godsH430, and fastenedH8628 his headH1538 in the templeH1004 of DagonH1712.
And when all JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 heardH8085 all that the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213 to SaulH7586,
They aroseH6965, all the valiantH2428 menH376, and took awayH5375 the bodyH1480 of SaulH7586, and the bodiesH1480 of his sonsH1121, and broughtH935 them to JabeshH3003, and buriedH6912 their bonesH6106 under the oakH424 in JabeshH3003, and fastedH6684 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
So SaulH7586 diedH4191 for his transgressionH4604 which he committedH4603 against the LORDH3068, even against the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he keptH8104 not, and also for askingH7592 counsel of one that had a familiar spiritH178, to enquireH1875 of it; {committed: Heb. transgressed}
And enquiredH1875 not of the LORDH3068: therefore he slewH4191 him, and turnedH5437 the kingdomH4410 unto DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448. {Jesse: Heb. Isai}
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it.
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
Nevertheless the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king'sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097.
And GodH430 was displeasedH3415+H5869 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478. {And…: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966, because I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: but now, I beseech thee, do awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH1696 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I offerH5186 thee threeH7969 things: chooseH977 thee oneH259 of themH2007, that I may doH6213 it unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, ChooseH6901 thee {Choose…: Heb. Take to thee}
Either threeH7969 years'H8141 famineH7458; or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH5595 beforeH6440 thy foesH6862, while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtakethH5381 thee; orH518 else threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, even the pestilenceH1698, in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 destroyingH7843 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478. Now therefore adviseH7200 thyself what wordH1697 I shall bring againH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let me fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for veryH3966 greatH7227 are his merciesH7356: but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {very great: or, very many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was destroyingH7843, the LORDH3068 beheldH7200, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227, stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {Ornan: also called, Araunah 2.Sam.24.18.}
And DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel, who were clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489 indeedH7489; but as for these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, be on me, and on my father'sH1 houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should go upH5927, and set upH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, which he spakeH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And OrnanH771 turned backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 with him hidH2244 themselves. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. {And Ornan…: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}
And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and went outH3318 of the threshingfloorH1637, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GrantH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshingfloorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 therein unto the LORDH3068: thou shalt grantH5414 it me for the fullH4392 priceH3701: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971. {Grant: Heb. Give}
And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: loH7200, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 also for burnt offeringsH5930, and the threshing instrumentsH4173 for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the meat offeringH4503; I giveH5414 it all.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verilyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for the LORDH3068, nor offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 without costH2600.
So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930.
And the LORDH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he put upH7725 his swordH2719 againH7725 into the sheathH5084 thereof.
At that timeH6256 when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 had answeredH6030 him in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
For the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, which MosesH4872 madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057, and the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930, were at that seasonH6256 in the high placeH1116 at GibeonH1391.
But DavidH1732 couldH3201 not goH3212 beforeH6440 it to enquireH1875 of GodH430: for he was afraidH1204 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
Now the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 after their numberH4557, to wit, the chiefH7218 fathersH1 and captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundredsH3967, and their officersH7860 that servedH8334 the kingH4428 in any matterH1697 of the coursesH4256, which came inH935 and went outH3318 monthH2320 by monthH2320 throughout all the monthsH2320 of the yearH8141, of everyH259 courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
Over the firstH7223 courseH4256 for the firstH7223 monthH2320 was JashobeamH3434 the sonH1121 of ZabdielH2068: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
Of the childrenH1121 of PerezH6557 was the chiefH7218 of all the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635 for the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And over the courseH4256 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 was DodaiH1737 an AhohiteH266, and of his courseH4256 was MiklothH4732 also the rulerH5057: in his courseH4256 likewise were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505. {Dodai: or, Dodo, 2.Sam.23.9.}
The thirdH7992 captainH8269 of the hostH6635 for the thirdH7992 monthH2320 was BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, a chiefH7218 priestH3548: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505. {chief…: or, principal officer}
This is that BenaiahH1141, who was mightyH1368 among the thirtyH7970, and above the thirtyH7970: and in his courseH4256 was AmmizabadH5990 his sonH1121.
The fourthH7243 captain for the fourthH7243 monthH2320 was AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, and ZebadiahH2069 his sonH1121 afterH310 him: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The fifthH2549 captainH8269 for the fifthH2549 monthH2320 was ShamhuthH8049 the IzrahiteH3155: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The sixthH8345 captain for the sixthH8345 monthH2320 was IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The seventhH7637 captain for the seventhH7637 monthH2320 was HelezH2503 the PeloniteH6397, of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The eighthH8066 captain for the eighthH8066 monthH2320 was SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843, of the ZarhitesH2227: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The ninthH8671 captain for the ninthH8671 monthH2320 was AbiezerH44 the AnetothiteH6069, of the BenjamitesH1145: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The tenthH6224 captain for the tenthH6224 monthH2320 was MaharaiH4121 the NetophathiteH5200, of the ZarhitesH2227: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The eleventhH6249+H6240 captain for the eleventhH6249+H6240 monthH2320 was BenaiahH1141 the PirathoniteH6553, of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
The twelfthH8147+H6240 captain for the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320 was HeldaiH2469 the NetophathiteH5200, of OthnielH6274: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505. {Heldai: or, Heled, Chap.11.30.}
Furthermore over the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: the rulerH5057 of the ReubenitesH7206 was EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147: of the SimeonitesH8099, ShephatiahH8203 the sonH1121 of MaachahH4601:
Of the LevitesH3881, HashabiahH2811 the sonH1121 of KemuelH7055: of the AaronitesH175, ZadokH6659:
Of JudahH3063, ElihuH453, one of the brethrenH251 of DavidH1732: of IssacharH3485, OmriH6018 the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317:
Of ZebulunH2074, IshmaiahH3460 the sonH1121 of ObadiahH5662: of NaphtaliH5321, JerimothH3406 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837:
Of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of AzaziahH5812: of the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PedaiahH6305:
Of the halfH2677 tribe of ManassehH4519 in GileadH1568, IddoH3035 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148: of BenjaminH1144, JaasielH3300 the sonH1121 of AbnerH74:
Of DanH1835, AzareelH5832 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395. These were the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
But DavidH1732 tookH5375 not the numberH4557 of them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and underH4295: because the LORDH3068 had saidH559 he would increaseH7235 IsraelH3478 like to the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064.
JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 beganH2490 to numberH4487, but he finishedH3615 not, because there fell wrathH7110 for itH2063 against IsraelH3478; neither was the numberH4557 putH5927 in the accountH4557 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of kingH4428 DavidH1732. {was: Heb. ascended}
And over the king'sH4428 treasuresH214 was AzmavethH5820 the sonH1121 of AdielH5717: and over the storehousesH214 in the fieldsH7704, in the citiesH5892, and in the villagesH3723, and in the castlesH4026, was JehonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818:
And over them that didH6213 the workH4399 of the fieldH7704 for tillageH5656 of the groundH127 was EzriH5836 the sonH1121 of ChelubH3620:
And over the vineyardsH3754 was ShimeiH8096 the RamathiteH7435: over the increase of the vineyardsH3754 for the wineH3196 cellarsH214 was ZabdiH2067 the ShiphmiteH8225: {over the increase…: Heb. over that which was of the vineyards}
And over the olive treesH2132 and the sycomore treesH8256 that were in the low plainsH8219 was BaalhananH1177 the GederiteH1451: and over the cellarsH214 of oilH8081 was JoashH3135:
And over the herdsH1241 that fedH7462 in SharonH8289 was ShitraiH7861 the SharoniteH8290: and over the herdsH1241 that were in the valleysH6010 was ShaphatH8202 the sonH1121 of AdlaiH5724:
Over the camelsH1581 also was ObilH179 the IshmaeliteH3459: and over the assesH860 was JehdeiahH3165 the MeronothiteH4824:
And over the flocksH6629 was JazizH3151 the HageriteH1905. All these were the rulersH8269 of the substanceH7399 which was kingH4428 David'sH1732.
Also JonathanH3083 David'sH1732 uncleH1730 was a counsellorH3289, a wiseH995 manH376, and a scribeH5608: and JehielH3171 the sonH1121 of HachmoniH2453 was with the king'sH4428 sonsH1121: {scribe: or, secretary} {son…: or, Hachmonite}
And AhithophelH302 was the king'sH4428 counsellorH3289: and HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 was the king'sH4428 companionH7453:
And afterH310 AhithophelH302 was JehoiadaH3077 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, and AbiatharH54: and the generalH8269 of the king'sH4428 armyH6635 was JoabH3097.
And SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 was strengthenedH2388 in his kingdomH4438, and the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him, and magnifiedH1431 him exceedinglyH4605.
Then SolomonH8010 spakeH559 unto all IsraelH3478, to the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, and to the judgesH8199, and to every governorH5387 in all IsraelH3478, the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1.
So SolomonH8010, and all the congregationH6951 with him, wentH3212 to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391; for there was the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 of GodH430, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 had madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057.
ButH61 the arkH727 of GodH430 had DavidH1732 brought upH5927 from KirjathjearimH7157 to the place which DavidH1732 had preparedH3559 for it: for he had pitchedH5186 a tentH168 for it at JerusalemH3389.
Moreover the brasenH5178 altarH4196, that BezaleelH1212 the sonH1121 of UriH221, the sonH1121 of HurH2354, had madeH6213, he putH7760 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068: and SolomonH8010 and the congregationH6951 soughtH1875 unto it. {he put: or, was there}
And SolomonH8010 went upH5927 thither to the brasenH5178 altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which was at the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and offeredH5927 a thousandH505 burnt offeringsH5930 upon it.
In that nightH3915 did GodH430 appearH7200 unto SolomonH8010, and saidH559 unto him, AskH7592 what I shall giveH5414 thee.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto GodH430, Thou hast shewedH6213 greatH1419 mercyH2617 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hast made me to reignH4427 in his stead.
Now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, let thy promiseH1697 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1 be establishedH539: for thou hast made me kingH4427 over a peopleH5971 like the dustH6083 of the earthH776 in multitudeH7227. {like…: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
GiveH5414 me now wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093, that I may go outH3318 and come inH935 beforeH6440 this peopleH5971: for who can judgeH8199 this thy peopleH5971, that is so greatH1419?
And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thine heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427:
WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is grantedH5414 unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
Then SolomonH8010 cameH935 from his journey to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391 to JerusalemH3389, from beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he placedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 and goldH2091 at JerusalemH3389 as plenteous as stonesH68, and cedar treesH730 madeH5414 he as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219 for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {Solomon…: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And they fetched upH5927, and brought forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 a chariotH4818 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and so brought they outH3318 horses for all the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, by their meansH3027. {means: Heb. hand}
And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundredsH3967, and with every leaderH5057.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895 unto you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 unto our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbsH4054, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto us: {send…: Heb. break forth and send} {in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}
And let us bring againH5437 the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we enquiredH1875 not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. {bring…: Heb. bring about}
And all the congregationH6951 saidH559 that they would do soH6213: for the thingH1697 was rightH3474 in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971.
So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950, from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even unto the enteringH935 of HemathH2574, to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from KirjathjearimH7157.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927, and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to KirjathjearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bring upH5927 thence the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORDH3068, that dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742, whose nameH8034 is calledH7121 on it.
And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 draveH5090 the cartH5699. {carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride}
And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689. {singing: Heb. songs}
And when they cameH935 unto the threshingfloorH1637 of ChidonH3592, UzzaH5798 put forthH7971 his handH3027 to holdH270 the arkH727; for the oxenH1241 stumbledH8058. {Chidon: also called Nachon, 2.Sam.6.6.} {stumbled: or, shook it}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against UzzaH5798, and he smoteH5221 him, because he putH7971 his handH3027 to the arkH727: and there he diedH4191 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And DavidH1732 was displeasedH2734, because the LORDH3068 had madeH6555 a breachH6556 upon UzzaH5798: wherefore that placeH4725 is calledH7121 PerezuzzaH6560 to this dayH3117. {Perezuzza: that is, The breach of Uzza}
And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of GodH430 that dayH3117, sayingH559, HowH1963 shall I bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 home to me?
So DavidH1732 broughtH5493 not the arkH727 home to himself to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but carried it asideH5186 into the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663. {brought: Heb. removed}
And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427 with the familyH1004 of ObededomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654, and all that he had.
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it.
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
Nevertheless the king'sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king'sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097.
And GodH430 was displeasedH3415+H5869 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478. {And…: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966, because I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: but now, I beseech thee, do awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH1696 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I offerH5186 thee threeH7969 things: chooseH977 thee oneH259 of themH2007, that I may doH6213 it unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, ChooseH6901 thee {Choose…: Heb. Take to thee}
Either threeH7969 years'H8141 famineH7458; or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH5595 beforeH6440 thy foesH6862, while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtakethH5381 thee; orH518 else threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, even the pestilenceH1698, in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 destroyingH7843 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478. Now therefore adviseH7200 thyself what wordH1697 I shall bring againH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let me fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for veryH3966 greatH7227 are his merciesH7356: but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {very great: or, very many}
So the LORDH3068 sentH5414 pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376.
And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was destroyingH7843, the LORDH3068 beheldH7200, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227, stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. {Ornan: also called, Araunah 2.Sam.24.18.}
And DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel, who were clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489 indeedH7489; but as for these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, be on me, and on my father'sH1 houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should go upH5927, and set upH6965 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.
And DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, which he spakeH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And OrnanH771 turned backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 with him hidH2244 themselves. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. {And Ornan…: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}
And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and went outH3318 of the threshingfloorH1637, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GrantH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshingfloorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 therein unto the LORDH3068: thou shalt grantH5414 it me for the fullH4392 priceH3701: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971. {Grant: Heb. Give}
And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: loH7200, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 also for burnt offeringsH5930, and the threshing instrumentsH4173 for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the meat offeringH4503; I giveH5414 it all.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verilyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for the LORDH3068, nor offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 without costH2600.
So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948.
And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930.
And the LORDH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he put upH7725 his swordH2719 againH7725 into the sheathH5084 thereof.
At that timeH6256 when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 had answeredH6030 him in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
For the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, which MosesH4872 madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057, and the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930, were at that seasonH6256 in the high placeH1116 at GibeonH1391.
But DavidH1732 couldH3201 not goH3212 beforeH6440 it to enquireH1875 of GodH430: for he was afraidH1204 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 began AbijahH29 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.
He reignedH4427 threeH7969 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was MichaiahH4322 the daughterH1323 of UrielH222 of GibeahH1390. And there was warH4421 between AbijahH29 and JeroboamH3379.
And AbijahH29 setH631 the battleH4421 in arrayH631 with an armyH2428 of valiant menH1368 of warH4421, even fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376: JeroboamH3379 also set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 against him with eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376, being mighty menH1368 of valourH2428. {Abijah set: Heb. Abijah bound together}
And AbijahH29 stood upH6965 upon mountH2022 ZemaraimH6787, which is in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and saidH559, HearH8085 me, thou JeroboamH3379, and all IsraelH3478;
Ought ye not to knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 for everH5769, even to him and to his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of saltH4417?
Yet JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, is risen upH6965, and hath rebelledH4775 against his lordH113.
And there are gatheredH6908 unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553 themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH7390+H3824, and could not withstandH2388 themH6440.
And now ye thinkH559 to withstandH2388 the kingdomH6440+H4467 of the LORDH3068 in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; and ye be a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and there are with you goldenH2091 calvesH5695, which JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 you for godsH430.
Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH4390+H3027 himself with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. {to consecrate…: Heb. to fill his hand}
But as for us, the LORDH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not forsakenH5800 him; and the priestsH3548, which ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068, are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 wait upon their businessH4399:
And they burnH6999 unto the LORDH3068 every morningH1242 and every eveningH6153 burnt sacrificesH5930 and sweetH5561 incenseH7004: the shewbreadH3899+H4635 also set they in order upon the pureH2889 tableH7979; and the candlestickH4501 of goldH2091 with the lampsH5216 thereof, to burnH1197 every eveningH6153: for we keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430; but ye have forsakenH5800 him.
And, behold, GodH430 himself is with us for our captainH7218, and his priestsH3548 with soundingH8643 trumpetsH2689 to cry alarmH7321 against you. O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, fightH3898 ye not against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1; for ye shall not prosperH6743.
But JeroboamH3379 caused an ambushmentH3993 to comeH935 aboutH5437 behindH310 them: so they were beforeH6440 JudahH3063, and the ambushmentH3993 was behindH310 them.
And when JudahH3063 looked backH6437, behold, the battleH4421 was beforeH6440 and behindH268: and they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690+H2690 with the trumpetsH2689.
Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 gave a shoutH7321: and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321, it came to pass, that GodH430 smoteH5062 JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 beforeH6440 JudahH3063: and GodH430 deliveredH5414 them into their handH3027.
And AbijahH29 and his peopleH5971 slewH5221 them with a greatH7227 slaughterH4347: so there fell downH5307 slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376.
Thus the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were broughtH3665 under at that timeH6256, and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 prevailedH553, because they reliedH8172 upon the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
And AbijahH29 pursuedH7291 afterH310 JeroboamH3379, and tookH3920 citiesH5892 from him, BethelH1008 with the townsH1323 thereof, and JeshanahH3466 with the townsH1323 thereof, and EphrainH6085 with the townsH1323 thereof.
Neither did JeroboamH3379 recoverH6113 strengthH3581 again in the daysH3117 of AbijahH29: and the LORDH3068 struckH5062 him, and he diedH4191.
But AbijahH29 waxed mightyH2388, and marriedH5375 fourteenH702+H6240 wivesH802, and begatH3205 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 sonsH1121, and sixteenH8337+H6240 daughtersH1323.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AbijahH29, and his waysH1870, and his sayingsH1697, are writtenH3789 in the storyH4097 of the prophetH5030 IddoH5714.
Now JehoshaphatH3092 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And JehoramH3088 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And he had brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, AzariahH5838, and JehielH3171, and ZechariahH2148, and AzariahH5838, and MichaelH4317, and ShephatiahH8203: all these were the sonsH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And their fatherH1 gaveH5414 them greatH7227 giftsH4979 of silverH3701, and of goldH2091, and of precious thingsH4030, with fencedH4694 citiesH5892 in JudahH3063: but the kingdomH4467 gaveH5414 he to JehoramH3088; because he was the firstbornH1060.
Now when JehoramH3088 was risen upH6965 to the kingdomH4467 of his fatherH1, he strengthenedH2388 himself, and slewH2026 all his brethrenH251 with the swordH2719, and divers also of the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478.
JehoramH3088 was thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 eightH8083 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, like as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, because of the covenantH1285 that he had madeH3772 with DavidH1732, and as he promisedH559 to giveH5414 a lightH5216 to him and to his sonsH1121 for everH3117. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
Then JehoramH3088 went forthH5674 with his princesH8269, and all his chariotsH7393 with him: and he rose upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him inH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393.
So the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. The same timeH6256 also did LibnahH3841 revoltH6586 from under his handH3027; because he had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1.
Moreover he madeH6213 high placesH1116 in the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and caused the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to commit fornicationH2181, and compelledH5080 JudahH3063 thereto.
And there cameH935 a writingH4385 to him from ElijahH452 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, Because thou hast not walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of JehoshaphatH3092 thy fatherH1, nor in the waysH1870 of AsaH609 kingH4428 of JudahH3063,
But hast walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and hast made JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 to go a whoringH2181, like to the whoredomsH2181 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and also hast slainH2026 thy brethrenH251 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, which were betterH2896 than thyself:
Behold, with a greatH1419 plagueH4046 will the LORDH3068 smiteH5062 thy peopleH5971, and thy childrenH1121, and thy wivesH802, and all thy goodsH7399: {a great…: Heb. a great stroke}
And thou shalt have greatH7227 sicknessH2483 by diseaseH4245 of thy bowelsH4578, until thy bowelsH4578 fall outH3318 by reason of the sicknessH2483 dayH3117 by dayH3117.
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
And afterH310 all this the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 him in his bowelsH4578 with an incurableH369+H4832 diseaseH2483.
And it came to pass, that in process of timeH3117, afterH3318+H6256 the endH7093 of twoH8147 yearsH3117, his bowelsH4578 fell outH3318 by reasonH5973 of his sicknessH2483: so he diedH4191 of soreH7451 diseasesH8463. And his peopleH5971 madeH6213 no burningH8316 for him, like the burningH8316 of his fathersH1.
ThirtyH7970 and twoH8147 years oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 yearsH8141, and departedH3212 without being desiredH2532. Howbeit they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but not in the sepulchresH6913 of the kingsH4428. {without…: Heb. without desire}
And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 madeH4427 AhaziahH274 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 kingH4427 in his stead: for the band of menH1416 that cameH935 with the ArabiansH6163 to the campH4264 had slainH2026 all the eldestH7223. So AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 reignedH4427.
FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018.
He also walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for his motherH517 was his counsellorH3289 to do wickedlyH7561.
Wherefore he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 like the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for they were his counsellorsH3289 afterH310 the deathH4194 of his fatherH1 to his destructionH4889.
He walkedH1980 also after their counselH6098, and wentH3212 with JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 to warH4421 against HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568: and the SyriansH7421 smoteH5221 JoramH3141.
And he returnedH7725 to be healedH7495 in JezreelH3157 because of the woundsH4347 which were givenH5221 him at RamahH7414, when he foughtH3898 with HazaelH2371 kingH4428 of SyriaH758. And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehoramH3088 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went downH3381 to seeH7200 JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 at JezreelH3157, because he was sickH2470. {which…: Heb. wherewith they wounded him} {Azariah: also called, Ahaziah, ver.I. or, Jehoahaz, ver.21.17.}
And the destructionH8395 of AhaziahH274 was of GodH430 by comingH935 to JoramH3141: for when he was comeH935, he went outH3318 with JehoramH3088 against JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, whom the LORDH3068 had anointedH4886 to cut offH3772 the houseH1004 of AhabH256. {destruction: Heb. treading down}
And it came to pass, that, when JehuH3058 was executing judgmentH8199 upon the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and foundH4672 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the sonsH1121 of the brethrenH251 of AhaziahH274, that ministeredH8334 to AhaziahH274, he slewH2026 them.
And he soughtH1245 AhaziahH274: and they caughtH3920 him, (for he was hidH2244 in SamariaH8111,) and broughtH935 him to JehuH3058: and when they had slainH4191 him, they buriedH6912 him: Because, saidH559 they, he is the sonH1121 of JehoshaphatH3092, who soughtH1875 the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824. So the houseH1004 of AhaziahH274 had no powerH3581 to keepH6113 still the kingdomH4467.
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}
AmaziahH558 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JehoaddanH3086 of JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdomH4467 was establishedH2388 to him, that he slewH2026 his servantsH5650 that had killedH5221 the kingH4428 his fatherH1. {established…: Heb. confirmed upon him}
But he slewH4191 not their childrenH1121, but did as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872, where the LORDH3068 commandedH6680, sayingH559, The fathersH1 shall not dieH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 dieH4191 for the fathersH1, but every manH376 shall dieH4191 for his own sinH2399.
Moreover AmaziahH558 gatheredH6908 JudahH3063 togetherH6908, and madeH5975 them captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, according to the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, throughout all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144: and he numberedH6485 them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and aboveH4605, and foundH4672 them threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 choiceH977 men, able to go forthH3318 to warH6635, that could handleH270 spearH7420 and shieldH6793.
He hiredH7936 also an hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 men of valourH2428 out of IsraelH3478 for an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701.
But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
But if thou wilt goH935, doH6213 it, be strongH2388 for the battleH4421: GodH430 shall make thee fallH3782 beforeH6440 the enemyH341: for GodH430 hathH3426 powerH3581 to helpH5826, and to cast downH3782.
And AmaziahH558 saidH559 to the manH376 of GodH430, But what shall we doH6213 for the hundredH3967 talentsH3603 which I have givenH5414 to the armyH1416 of IsraelH3478? And the manH376 of GodH430 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 isH3426 able to giveH5414 thee much moreH7235 than this. {army: Heb. band}
Then AmaziahH558 separatedH914 them, to wit, the armyH1416 that was comeH935 to him out of EphraimH669, to goH3212 homeH4725 againH3212: wherefore their angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, and they returnedH7725 homeH4725 in greatH2750 angerH639. {home again: Heb. to their place} {in great…: Heb. in heat of anger}
And AmaziahH558 strengthenedH2388 himself, and led forthH5090 his peopleH5971, and wentH3212 to the valleyH1516 of saltH4417, and smoteH5221 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165 tenH6235 thousandH505.
And other tenH6235 thousandH505 left aliveH2416 did the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 carry away captiveH7617, and broughtH935 them unto the topH7218 of the rockH5553, and cast them downH7993 from the topH7218 of the rockH5553, that they all were broken in piecesH1234.
But the soldiersH1121 of the armyH1416 which AmaziahH558 sent backH7725, that they should not goH3212 with him to battleH4421, fellH6584 upon the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, from SamariaH8111 even unto BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 threeH7969 thousandH505 of them, and tookH962 muchH7227 spoilH961. {the soldiers…: Heb. the sons of the band}
Now it came to pass, afterH310 that AmaziahH558 was comeH935 from the slaughterH5221 of the EdomitesH130, that he broughtH935 the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of SeirH8165, and set them upH5975 to be his godsH430, and bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 them, and burned incenseH6999 unto them.
Wherefore the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against AmaziahH558, and he sentH7971 unto him a prophetH5030, which saidH559 unto him, Why hast thou soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of the peopleH5971, which could not deliverH5337 their own peopleH5971 out of thine handH3027?
And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the king saidH559 unto him, Art thou madeH5414 of the king'sH4428 counselH3289? forbearH2308; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determinedH3289 to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast not hearkenedH8085 unto my counselH6098. {determined: Heb. counselled}
Then AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 took adviceH3289, and sentH7971 to JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, the sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us see one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440.
And JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The thistleH2336 that was in LebanonH3844 sentH7971 to the cedarH730 that was in LebanonH3844, sayingH559, GiveH5414 thy daughterH1323 to my sonH1121 to wifeH802: and there passed byH5674 a wildH7704 beastH2416 that was in LebanonH3844, and trode downH7429 the thistleH2336. {thistle: or, furze bush, or, thorn} {a wild…: Heb. a beast of the field}
Thou sayestH559, Lo, thou hast smittenH5221 the EdomitesH123; and thine heartH3820 lifteth thee upH5375 to boastH3513: abideH3427 now at homeH1004; why shouldest thou meddleH1624 to thine hurtH7451, that thou shouldest fallH5307, even thou, and JudahH3063 with thee?
But AmaziahH558 would not hearH8085; for it came of GodH430, that he might deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemies, because they soughtH1875 after the godsH430 of EdomH123.
So JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927; and they saw one anotherH7200 in the faceH6440, both he and AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, at BethshemeshH1053, which belongeth to JudahH3063.
And JudahH3063 was put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and they fledH5127 every manH376 to his tentH168. {put…: Heb. smitten}
And JoashH3101 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 tookH8610 AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059, at BethshemeshH1053, and broughtH935 him to JerusalemH3389, and brake downH6555 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 from the gateH8179 of EphraimH669 to the cornerH6437 gateH8179, fourH702 hundredH3967 cubitsH520. {the corner…: Heb. the gate of it that looketh}
And he took all the goldH2091 and the silverH3701, and all the vesselsH3627 that were foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with ObededomH5654, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, the hostagesH1121+H8594 also, and returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
And AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 livedH2421 afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoashH3101 sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AmaziahH558, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478?
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}
And they broughtH5375 him upon horsesH5483, and buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of JudahH3063. {Judah: that is, the city of David}
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.
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.
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.
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}
So ManassehH4519 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in his own houseH1004: and AmonH526 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 stead in JerusalemH3389.
JehoahazH3099 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 put him downH5493 at JerusalemH3389, and condemnedH6064 the landH776 in an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. {put…: Heb. removed him}
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 made EliakimH471 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. And NechoH5224 tookH3947 JehoahazH3099 his brotherH251, and carriedH935 him to EgyptH4714.
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
Against him came upH5927 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, to carryH3212 him to BabylonH894. {fetters: or, chains}
NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to BabylonH894, and putH5414 them in his templeH1964 at BabylonH894.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and his abominationsH8441 which he didH6213, and that which was foundH4672 in him, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Jehoiachin: or, Jeconiah, I.Chro.3.16. or, Coniah ier.22.24.}
JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And when the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. {when…: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly…: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah…: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}
ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583: {by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
Therefore he broughtH5927 upon them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeesH3778, who slewH2026 their young menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and had no compassionH2550 upon young manH970 or maidenH1330, old manH2205, or him that stooped for ageH3486: he gaveH5414 them all into his handH3027.
And all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, greatH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the kingH4428, and of his princesH8269; all these he broughtH935 to BabylonH894.
And they burntH8313 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and brake downH5422 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and burntH8313 all the palacesH759 thereof with fireH784, and destroyedH7843 all the goodlyH4261 vesselsH3627 thereof.
And them that had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 carried he awayH1540 to BabylonH894; where they were servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 until the reignH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539: {them…: Heb. the remainder from the sword}
To fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, until the landH776 had enjoyedH7521 her sabbathsH7676: for as long asH3117 she lay desolateH8074 she kept sabbathH7673, to fulfilH4390 threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141.
