2Ch 01:01 ¶ And Solomon <08010> the son <01121> of David <01732>


was strengthened <02388> (8691) in his kingdom <04438> , and the
LORD <03068> his God <0430> was with him, and magnified <01431>
(8762) him exceedingly <04605>.

2Ch 01:02 Then Solomon <08010> spake <0559> (8799) unto all
Israel <03478>, to the captains <08269> of thousands <0505> and
of hundreds <03967>, and to the judges <08199> (8802), and to
every governor <05387> in all Israel <03478>, the chief <07218>
of the fathers <01>.

2Ch 01:03 So Solomon <08010>, and all the congregation < 06951>
with him, went <03212> (8799) to the high place < 01116> that was
at Gibeon <01391>; for there was the tabernacle <0168> of the
congregation <04150> of God <0430>, which Moses < 04872> the
servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> had made < 06213> (8804) in
the wilderness <04057>.

2Ch 01:04 But <061> the ark <0727> of God < 0430> had David
<01732> brought up <05927> (8689) from Kirjathjearim <07157> to
the place which David <01732> had prepared <03559> (8687) for it:
for he had pitched <05186> (8804) a tent <0168> for it at
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 01:05 Moreover the brasen <05178> altar <04196>, that
Bezaleel <01212> the son <01121> of Uri <0221>, the son <01121>
of Hur <02354>, had made <06213> (8804), he put < 07760> (8804)
before <06440> the tabernacle <04908> of the LORD < 03068>: and
Solomon <08010> and the congregation <06951> sought <01875>
(8799) unto it.

2Ch 01:06 And Solomon <08010> went up <05927> (8686) thither to
the brasen <05178> altar <04196> before <06440> the LORD <03068>,
which was at the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation < 04150>,
and offered <05927> (8686) a thousand <0505> burnt offerings
<05930> upon it.

2Ch 01:07 In that night <03915> did God <0430> appear <07200>
(8738) unto Solomon <08010>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him,
Ask <07592> (8798) what I shall give <05414> (8799) thee.

2Ch 01:08 And Solomon <08010> said <0559> (8799) unto God
<0430>, Thou hast shewed <06213> (8804) great < 01419> mercy
<02617> unto David <01732> my father <01>, and hast made me to
reign <04427> (8689) in his stead.

2Ch 01:09 Now, O LORD <03068> God <0430>, let thy promise
<01697> unto David <01732> my father <01> be established <0539>
(8735): for thou hast made me king <04427> (8689) over a people
<05971> like the dust <06083> of the earth < 0776> in multitude
<07227>.

2Ch 01:10 Give <05414> (8798) me now wisdom <02451> and
knowledge <04093>, that I may go out <03318> (8799) and come in
<0935> (8799) before <06440> this people <05971> : for who can
judge <08199> (8799) this thy people <05971>, that is so great
<01419>?

2Ch 01:11 And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) to Solomon <08010>,
Because this was in thine heart <03824>, and thou hast not asked
<07592> (8804) riches <06239>, wealth <05233>, or honour <03519>,
nor the life <05315> of thine enemies <08130> (8802), neither
yet hast asked <07592> (8804) long <07227> life < 03117>; but
hast asked <07592> (8799) wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093>
for thyself, that thou mayest judge <08199> (8799) my people
<05971>, over whom I have made thee king <04427> (8689):

2Ch 01:12 Wisdom <02451> and knowledge <04093> is granted
<05414> (8803) unto thee; and I will give <05414> (8799) thee
riches <06239>, and wealth <05233>, and honour < 03519>, such as
none of the kings <04428> have had that have been before <06440>
thee, neither shall there any after <0310> thee have the like.

2Ch 01:13 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> came <0935> (8799) from his
journey to the high place <01116> that was at Gibeon < 01391> to
Jerusalem <03389>, from before <06440> the tabernacle <0168> of
the congregation <04150>, and reigned <04427> (8799) over Israel
<03478>.

2Ch 01:14 And Solomon <08010> gathered <0622> (8799) chariots
<07393> and horsemen <06571>: and he had a thousand <0505> and
four <0702> hundred <03967> chariots <07393>, and twelve <08147>
<06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>, which he placed
<03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities < 05892>, and with
the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 01:15 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver
<03701> and gold <02091> at Jerusalem <03389> as plenteous as
stones <068>, and cedar trees <0730> made < 05414> (8804) he as
the sycomore trees <08256> that are in the vale < 08219> for
abundance <07230>.

2Ch 01:16 And Solomon <08010> had horses <05483> brought
<04161> out of Egypt <04714>, and linen yarn < 04723>: the king’s
<04428> merchants <05503> (8802) received < 03947> (8799) the
linen yarn <04723> at a price <04242>.

2Ch 01:17 And they fetched up <05927> (8799), and brought forth
<03318> (8686) out of Egypt <04714> a chariot < 04818> for six
<08337> hundred <03967> shekels of silver < 03701>, and an horse
<05483> for an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> : and so brought
they out <03318> (8686) horses for all the kings < 04428> of the
Hittites <02850>, and for the kings <04428> of Syria <0758>, by
their means <03027>.

2Ch 02:01 ¶ And Solomon <08010> determined <0559> (8799) to
build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the name <08034> of
the LORD <03068>, and an house <01004> for his kingdom <04438>.

2Ch 02:02 And Solomon <08010> told out <05608> (8799)
threescore and ten <07657> thousand <0505> men < 0376> to bear
burdens <05449>, and fourscore <08084> thousand < 0505> <0376> to
hew <02672> (8802) in the mountain <02022>, and three <07969>
thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967> to oversee
<05329> (8764) them.

2Ch 02:03 And Solomon <08010> sent <07971> (8799) to Huram
<02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865>, saying <0559> (8800),
As thou didst deal <06213> (8804) with David <01732> my father
<01>, and didst send <07971> (8799) him cedars < 0730> to build
<01129> (8800) him an house <01004> to dwell < 03427> (8800)
therein, even so deal with me.

2Ch 02:04 Behold, I build <01129> (8802) an house < 01004> to
the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> my God < 0430>, to dedicate
<06942> (8687) it to him, and to burn <06999> (8687) before
<06440> him sweet <05561> incense <07004>, and for the continual
<08548> shewbread <04635>, and for the burnt offerings <05930>
morning <01242> and evening <06153>, on the sabbaths <07676>,
and on the new moons <02320>, and on the solemn feasts < 04150>
of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. This is an ordinance for
ever <05769> to Israel <03478>.

2Ch 02:05 And the house <01004> which I build <01129> (8802) is
great <01419>: for great <01419> is our God < 0430> above all
gods <0430>.

2Ch 02:06 But who is able <06113> (8799) <03581> to build
<01129> (8800) him an house <01004>, seeing the heaven <08064>
and heaven <08064> of heavens <08064> cannot contain <03557>
(8770) him? who am I then, that I should build <01129> (8799)
him an house <01004>, save only <0518> to burn sacrifice <06999>
(8687) before <06440> him?

2Ch 02:07 Send <07971> (8798) me now therefore a man < 0376>
cunning <02450> to work <06213> (8800) in gold < 02091>, and in
silver <03701>, and in brass <05178>, and in iron < 01270>, and
in purple <0710>, and crimson <03758>, and blue < 08504>, and
that can skill <03045> (8802) to grave <06605> (8763) <06603>
with the cunning men <02450> that are with me in Judah < 03063>
and in Jerusalem <03389>, whom David <01732> my father <01> did
provide <03559> (8689).

2Ch 02:08 Send <07971> (8798) me also cedar <0730> trees
<06086>, fir trees <01265>, and algum trees < 0418>, out of
Lebanon <03844>: for I know <03045> (8804) that thy servants
<05650> can skill <03045> (8802) to cut <03772> (8800) timber
<06086> in Lebanon <03844>; and, behold, my servants <05650>
shall be with thy servants <05650>,

2Ch 02:09 Even to prepare <03559> (8687) me timber < 06086> in
abundance <07230>: for the house <01004> which I am about to
build <01129> (8802) shall be wonderful <06381> (8687) great
<01419>.

2Ch 02:10 And, behold, I will give <05414> (8804) to thy
servants <05650>, the hewers <02404> (8802) that cut <03772>
(8802) timber <06086>, twenty <06242> thousand < 0505> measures
<03734> of beaten <04347> wheat <02406>, and twenty <06242>
thousand <0505> measures <03734> of barley < 08184>, and twenty
<06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of wine <03196>, and
twenty <06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of oil <08081>.

2Ch 02:11 ¶ Then Huram <02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865>
answered <0559> (8799) in writing <03791>, which he sent <07971>
(8799) to Solomon <08010>, Because the LORD <03068> hath loved
<0160> his people <05971>, he hath made <05414> (8804) thee king
<04428> over them.

2Ch 02:12 Huram <02361> said <0559> (8799) moreover, Blessed
<01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,
that made <06213> (8804) heaven <08064> and earth < 0776>, who
hath given <05414> (8804) to David <01732> the king <04428> a
wise <02450> son <01121>, endued <03045> (8802) with prudence
<07922> and understanding <0998>, that might build <01129>
(8799) an house <01004> for the LORD <03068>, and an house
<01004> for his kingdom <04438>.

2Ch 02:13 And now I have sent <07971> (8804) a cunning < 02450>
man <0376>, endued <03045> (8802) with understanding <0998>, of
Huram <02361> my father’s <01>,

2Ch 02:14 The son <01121> of a woman <0802> of the daughters
<01323> of Dan <01835>, and his father <01> was a man <0376> of
Tyre <06876>, skilful <03045> (8802) to work < 06213> (8800) in
gold <02091>, and in silver <03701>, in brass < 05178>, in iron
<01270>, in stone <068>, and in timber <06086>, in purple <0713>,
in blue <08504>, and in fine linen <0948>, and in crimson
<03758>; also to grave <06605> (8763) any manner of graving
<06603>, and to find out <02803> (8800) every device <04284>
which shall be put <05414> (8735) to him, with thy cunning men
<02450>, and with the cunning men <02450> of my lord <0113>
David <01732> thy father <01>.

2Ch 02:15 Now therefore the wheat <02406>, and the barley
<08184>, the oil <08081>, and the wine <03196>, which my lord
<0113> hath spoken <0559> (8804) of, let him send < 07971> (8799)
unto his servants <05650>:

2Ch 02:16 And we will cut <03772> (8799) wood <06086> out of
Lebanon <03844>, as much as thou shalt need <06878>: and we will
bring <0935> (8686) it to thee in floats <07513> by sea <03220>
to Joppa <03305>; and thou shalt carry it up <05927> (8686) to
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 02:17 And Solomon <08010> numbered <05608> (8799) all the
strangers <0582> <01616> that were in the land < 0776> of Israel
<03478>, after <0310> the numbering <05610> wherewith David
<01732> his father <01> had numbered <05608> (8804) them; and
they were found <04672> (8735) an hundred <03967> and fifty
<02572> thousand <0505> and three <07969> thousand <0505> and
six <08337> hundred <03967>.

2Ch 02:18 And he set <06213> (8799) threescore and ten < 07657>
thousand <0505> of them to be bearers of burdens < 05449>, and
fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> to be hewers < 02672> (8802) in
the mountain <02022>, and three <07969> thousand < 0505> and six
<08337> hundred <03967> overseers <05329> (8764) to set <05647>
<00> the people <05971> a work <05647> (8687).

2Ch 02:01 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> began <02490> (8686) to build
<01129> (8800) the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068> at
Jerusalem <03389> in mount <02022> Moriah < 04179>, where the
LORD appeared <07200> (8738) unto David <01732> his father <01>,
in the place <04725> that David <01732> had prepared <03559>
(8689) in the threshingfloor <01637> of Ornan <0771> the
Jebusite <02983>.

2Ch 02:02 And he began <02490> (8686) to build < 01129> (8800)
in the second <08145> day of the second <08145> month <02320>,
in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of his reign < 04438>.

2Ch 02:03 Now these are the things wherein Solomon <08010> was
instructed <03245> (8717) for the building <01129> (8800) of the
house <01004> of God <0430>. The length <0753> by cubits <0520>
after the first <07223> measure <04060> was threescore <08346>
cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> twenty < 06242> cubits
<0520>.

2Ch 02:04 And the porch <0197> that was in the front < 06440> of
the house, the length <0753> of it was according to the breadth
<07341> of the house <01004>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520>, and
the height <01363> was an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242>:
and he overlaid <06823> (8762) it within <06441> with pure
<02889> gold <02091>.

2Ch 02:05 And the greater <01419> house <01004> he cieled
<02645> (8765) with fir <01265> tree <06086>, which he overlaid
<02645> (8762) with fine <02896> gold <02091>, and set <05927>
(8686) thereon palm trees <08561> and chains <08333>.

2Ch 02:06 And he garnished <06823> (8762) the house < 01004>
with precious <03368> stones <068> for beauty < 08597>: and the
gold <02091> was gold <02091> of Parvaim <06516> .

2Ch 02:07 He overlaid <02645> (8762) also the house < 01004>,
the beams <06982>, the posts <05592>, and the walls <07023>
thereof, and the doors <01817> thereof, with gold < 02091>; and
graved <06605> (8765) cherubims <03742> on the walls <07023>.

2Ch 02:08 And he made <06213> (8799) the most <06944> holy
<06944> house <01004>, the length <0753> whereof was according
to <06440> the breadth <07341> of the house < 01004>, twenty
<06242> cubits <0520>, and the breadth <07341> thereof twenty
<06242> cubits <0520>: and he overlaid <02645> (8762) it with
fine <02896> gold <02091>, amounting to six < 08337> hundred
<03967> talents <03603>.

2Ch 02:09 And the weight <04948> of the nails <04548> was fifty
<02572> shekels <08255> of gold <02091>. And he overlaid <02645>
(8765) the upper chambers <05944> with gold <02091>.

2Ch 02:10 ¶ And in the most <06944> holy <06944> house <01004>
he made <06213> (8799) two <08147> cherubims < 03742> of image
<06816> work <04639>, and overlaid <06823> (8762) them with gold
<02091>.

2Ch 02:11 And the wings <03671> of the cherubims < 03742> were
twenty <06242> cubits <0520> long <0753>: one <0259> wing
<03671> of the one cherub was five <02568> cubits < 0520>,
reaching <05060> (8688) to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>:
and the other <0312> wing <03671> was likewise five <02568>
cubits <0520>, reaching <05060> (8688) to the wing <03671> of
the other <0312> cherub <03742>.

2Ch 02:12 And one wing <03671> of the other <0259> cherub
<03742> was five <02568> cubits <0520>, reaching <05060> (8688)
to the wall <07023> of the house <01004>: and the other <0312>
wing <03671> was five <02568> cubits <0520> also, joining
<01695> to the wing <03671> of the other <0312> cherub <03742>.

2Ch 02:13 The wings <03671> of these cherubims < 03742> spread
themselves forth <06566> (8802) twenty <06242> cubits <0520>:
and they stood <05975> (8802) on their feet <07272>, and their
faces <06440> were inward <01004>.

2Ch 02:14 And he made <06213> (8799) the vail <06532> of blue
<08504>, and purple <0713>, and crimson <03758>, and fine linen
<0948>, and wrought <05927> (8686) cherubims < 03742> thereon.

2Ch 02:15 Also he made <06213> (8799) before <06440> the house
<01004> two <08147> pillars <05982> of thirty <07970> and five
<02568> cubits <0520> high <0753>, and the chapiter <06858> that
was on the top <07218> of each of them was five < 02568> cubits
<0520>.

2Ch 02:16 And he made <06213> (8799) chains <08333>, as in the
oracle <01687>, and put <05414> (8799) them on the heads <07218>
of the pillars <05982>; and made <06213> (8799) an hundred
<03967> pomegranates <07416>, and put <05414> (8799) them on the
chains <08333>.

2Ch 02:17 And he reared up <06965> (8686) the pillars < 05982>
before <06440> the temple <01964>, one <0259> on the right hand
<03225>, and the other <0259> on the left < 08040>; and called
<07121> (8799) the name <08034> of that on the right hand
<03233> (8675) <03227> Jachin <03199>, and the name <08034> of
that on the left <08042> Boaz <01162>.

2Ch 03:01 ¶ Moreover he made <06213> (8799) an altar < 04196> of
brass <05178>, twenty <06242> cubits <0520> the length <0753>
thereof, and twenty <06242> cubits <0520> the breadth <07341>
thereof, and ten <06235> cubits <0520> the height < 06967>
thereof.

2Ch 03:02 Also he made <06213> (8799) a molten < 03332> (8716)
sea <03220> of ten <06235> cubits <0520> from brim <08193> to
brim <08193>, round <05696> in compass <05439>, and five <02568>
cubits <0520> the height <06967> thereof; and a line <06957> of
thirty <07970> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (8799) it round
about <05439>.

2Ch 03:03 And under it was the similitude <01823> of oxen
<01241>, which did compass <05437> (8802) it round about <05439>:
ten <06235> in a cubit <0520>, compassing < 05362> (8688) the
sea <03220> round about <05439>. Two <08147> rows <02905> of
oxen <01241> were cast <03332> (8803), when it was cast <04166>.

2Ch 03:04 It stood <05975> (8802) upon twelve <08147> <06240>
oxen <01241>, three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward the
north <06828>, and three <07969> looking <06437> (8802) toward
the west <03220>, and three <07969> looking < 06437> (8802)
toward the south <05045>, and three <07969> looking <06437>
(8802) toward the east <04217>: and the sea <03220> was set
above <04605> upon them, and all their hinder parts < 0268> were
inward <01004>.

2Ch 03:05 And the thickness <05672> of it was an handbreadth
<02947>, and the brim <08193> of it like the work < 04639> of the
brim <08193> of a cup <03563>, with flowers < 06525> of lilies
<07799>; and it received <02388> (8688) and held < 03557> (8686)
three <07969> thousand <0505> baths <01324>.

2Ch 03:06 He made <06213> (8799) also ten <06235> lavers
<03595>, and put <05414> (8799) five <02568> on the right hand
<03225>, and five <02568> on the left <08040>, to wash <07364>
(8800) in them: such things as they offered <04639> for the
burnt offering <05930> they washed <01740> (8686) in them; but
the sea <03220> was for the priests <03548> to wash in <07364>
(8800).

2Ch 03:07 And he made <06213> (8799) ten <06235> candlesticks
<04501> of gold <02091> according to their form < 04941>, and set
<05414> (8799) them in the temple <01964>, five < 02568> on the
right hand <03225>, and five <02568> on the left < 08040>.

2Ch 03:08 He made <06213> (8799) also ten <06235> tables
<07979>, and placed <03240> (8686) them in the temple <01964>,
five <02568> on the right side <03225>, and five < 02568> on the
left <08040>. And he made <06213> (8799) an hundred <03967>
basons <04219> of gold <02091>.

2Ch 03:09 Furthermore he made <06213> (8799) the court < 02691>
of the priests <03548>, and the great <01419> court <05835>, and
doors <01817> for the court <05835>, and overlaid < 06823> (8765)
the doors <01817> of them with brass <05178>.

2Ch 03:10 And he set <05414> (8804) the sea <03220> on the
right <03233> side <03802> of the east end < 06924>, over against
<04136> the south <05045>.

2Ch 03:11 ¶ And Huram <02361> made <06213> (8799) the pots
<05518>, and the shovels <03257>, and the basons < 04219>. And
Huram <02361> (8676) <02438> finished <03615> (8762) <06213>
(8800) the work <04399> that he was to make <06213> (8804) for
king <04428> Solomon <08010> for the house < 01004> of God <0430>;

2Ch 03:12 To wit, the two <08147> pillars <05982>, and the
pommels <01543>, and the chapiters <03805> which were on the top
<07218> of the two pillars <05982>, and the two < 08147> wreaths
<07639> to cover <03680> (8763) the two <08147> pommels <01543>
of the chapiters <03805> which were on the top <07218> of the
pillars <05982>;

2Ch 03:13 And four <0702> hundred <03967> pomegranates <07416>
on the two <08147> wreaths <07639>; two <08147> rows <02905> of
pomegranates <07416> on each <0259> wreath < 07639>, to cover
<03680> (8763) the two <08147> pommels <01543> of the chapiters
<03805> which were upon <06440> the pillars < 05982>.

2Ch 03:14 He made <06213> (8804) also bases <04350>, and lavers
<03595> made <06213> (8804) he upon the bases < 04350>;

2Ch 03:15 One <0259> sea <03220>, and twelve < 08147> <06240>
oxen <01241> under it.

2Ch 03:16 The pots <05518> also, and the shovels < 03257>, and
the fleshhooks <04207>, and all their instruments < 03627>, did
Huram <02361> his father <01> make <06213> (8804) to king
<04428> Solomon <08010> for the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> of bright <04838> (8803) brass <05178>.

2Ch 03:17 In the plain <03603> of Jordan <03383> did the king
<04428> cast <03332> (8804) them, in the clay < 05645> ground
<0127> between Succoth <05523> and Zeredathah < 06868>.

2Ch 03:18 Thus Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) all these
vessels <03627> in great <03966> abundance < 07230>: for the
weight <04948> of the brass <05178> could not be found out
<02713> (8738).

2Ch 03:19 And Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) all the
vessels <03627> that were for the house <01004> of God <0430>,
the golden <02091> altar <04196> also, and the tables <07979>
whereon the shewbread <03899> <06440> was set;

2Ch 03:20 Moreover the candlesticks <04501> with their lamps
<05216>, that they should burn <01197> (8763) after the manner
<04941> before <06440> the oracle <01687>, of pure <05462>
(8803) gold <02091>;

2Ch 03:21 And the flowers <06525>, and the lamps < 05216>, and
the tongs <04457>, made he of gold <02091>, and that perfect
<04357> gold <02091>;

2Ch 03:22 And the snuffers <04212>, and the basons < 04219>, and
the spoons <03709>, and the censers <04289>, of pure <05462>
(8803) gold <02091>: and the entry <06607> of the house <01004>,
the inner <06442> doors <01817> thereof for the most <06944>
holy <06944> place, and the doors <01817> of the house <01004>
of the temple <01964>, were of gold <02091>.

2Ch 05:01 ¶ Thus all the work <04399> that Solomon < 08010> made
<06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068> was
finished <07999> (8799): and Solomon <08010> brought <0935>
(8686) in all the things <06944> <00> that David < 01732> his
father <01> had dedicated <06944>; and the silver < 03701>, and
the gold <02091>, and all the instruments <03627>, put <05414>
(8804) he among the treasures <0214> of the house < 01004> of God
<0430>.

2Ch 05:02 Then Solomon <08010> assembled <06950> (8686) the
elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and all the heads <07218> of
the tribes <04294>, the chief <05387> of the fathers <01> of the
children <01121> of Israel <03478>, unto Jerusalem <03389>, to
bring up <05927> (8687) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>
of the LORD <03068> out of the city <05892> of David <01732>,
which is Zion <06726>.

2Ch 05:03 Wherefore all the men <0376> of Israel < 03478>
assembled <06950> (8735) themselves unto the king < 04428> in the
feast <02282> which was in the seventh <07637> month <02320>.

2Ch 05:04 And all the elders <02205> of Israel < 03478> came
<0935> (8799); and the Levites <03881> took up < 05375> (8799)
the ark <0727>.

2Ch 05:05 And they brought up <05927> (8686) the ark < 0727>,
and the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>, and all
the holy <06944> vessels <03627> that were in the tabernacle
<0168>, these did the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>
bring up <05927> (8689).

2Ch 05:06 Also king <04428> Solomon <08010>, and all the
congregation <05712> of Israel <03478> that were assembled
<03259> (8737) unto him before <06440> the ark < 0727>,
sacrificed <02076> (8764) sheep <06629> and oxen < 01241>, which
could not be told <05608> (8735) nor numbered <04487> (8735) for
multitude <07230>.

2Ch 05:07 And the priests <03548> brought in <0935> (8686) the
ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD < 03068> unto his
place <04725>, to the oracle <01687> of the house < 01004>, into
the most <06944> holy <06944> place, even under the wings
<03671> of the cherubims <03742>:

2Ch 05:08 For the cherubims <03742> spread forth < 06566> (8802)
their wings <03671> over the place <04725> of the ark <0727>,
and the cherubims <03742> covered <03680> (8762) the ark <0727>
and the staves <0905> thereof above <04605>.

2Ch 05:09 And they drew out <0748> (8686) the staves < 0905> of
the ark, that the ends <07218> of the staves <0905> were seen
<07200> (8735) from the ark <0727> before < 06440> the oracle
<01687>; but they were not seen <07200> (8735) without <02351>.
And there it is unto this day <03117>.

2Ch 05:10 There was nothing in the ark <0727> save the two
<08147> tables <03871> which Moses <04872> put <05414> (8804)
therein at Horeb <02722>, when the LORD <03068> made <03772>
(8804) a covenant with the children <01121> of Israel < 03478>,
when they came out <03318> (8800) of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 05:11 ¶ And it came to pass, when the priests <03548> were
come out <03318> (8800) of the holy <06944> place: (for all the
priests <03548> that were present <04672> (8737) were sanctified
<06942> (8694), and did not then wait <08104> (8800) by course
<04256>:

2Ch 05:12 Also the Levites <03881> which were the singers
<07891> (8789), all of them of Asaph <0623>, of Heman <01968>,
of Jeduthun <03038>, with their sons <01121> and their brethren
<0251>, being arrayed <03847> (8794) in white linen <0948>,
having cymbals <04700> and psalteries <05035> and harps <03658>,
stood <05975> (8802) at the east end <04217> of the altar
<04196>, and with them an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242>
priests <03548> sounding <02690> (8688) with trumpets <02689>:)

2Ch 05:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters <02690>
(8764) (8675) <02690> (8764) and singers <07891> (8789) were as
one <0259>, to make one <0259> sound <06963> to be heard <08085>
(8687) in praising <01984> (8763) and thanking <03034> (8687)
the LORD <03068>; and when they lifted up <07311> (8687) their
voice <06963> with the trumpets <02689> and cymbals <04700> and
instruments <03627> of musick <07892>, and praised <01984>
(8763) the LORD <03068>, saying, For he is good < 02896>; for his
mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>: that then the house
<01004> was filled <04390> (8804) with a cloud < 06051>, even the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>;

2Ch 05:14 So that the priests <03548> could <03201> (8804) not
stand <05975> (8800) to minister <08334> (8763) by reason
<06440> of the cloud <06051>: for the glory < 03519> of the LORD
<03068> had filled <04390> (8804) the house < 01004> of God
<0430>.

2Ch 06:01 ¶ Then said <0559> (8804) Solomon <08010>, The LORD
<03068> hath said <0559> (8804) that he would dwell <07931>
(8800) in the thick darkness <06205>.

2Ch 06:02 But I have built <01129> (8804) an house < 01004> of
habitation <02073> for thee, and a place <04349> for thy
dwelling <03427> (8800) for ever <05769>.

2Ch 06:03 And the king <04428> turned <05437> (8686) his face
<06440>, and blessed <01288> (8762) the whole congregation
<06951> of Israel <03478>: and all the congregation <06951> of
Israel <03478> stood <05975> (8802).

2Ch 06:04 And he said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be
the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, who hath with his
hands <03027> fulfilled <04390> (8765) that which he spake
<01696> (8765) with his mouth <06310> to my father <01> David
<01732>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 06:05 Since the day <03117> that I brought forth < 03318>
(8689) my people <05971> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>
I chose <0977> (8804) no city <05892> among all the tribes
<07626> of Israel <03478> to build <01129> (8800) an house
<01004> in, that my name <08034> might be there; neither chose
<0977> (8804) I any man <0376> to be a ruler < 05057> over my
people <05971> Israel <03478>:

2Ch 06:06 But I have chosen <0977> (8799) Jerusalem < 03389>,
that my name <08034> might be there; and have chosen < 0977>
(8799) David <01732> to be over my people <05971> Israel <03478>.

2Ch 06:07 Now it was in the heart <03824> of David < 01732> my
father <01> to build <01129> (8800) an house < 01004> for the
name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 06:08 But the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to David
<01732> my father <01>, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart
<03824> to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for my name
<08034>, thou didst well <02895> (8689) in that it was in thine
heart <03824>:

2Ch 06:09 Notwithstanding <07535> thou shalt not build < 01129>
(8799) the house <01004>; but thy son <01121> which shall come
forth <03318> (8802) out of thy loins <02504>, he shall build
<01129> (8799) the house <01004> for my name < 08034>.

2Ch 06:10 The LORD <03068> therefore hath performed < 06965>
(8686) his word <01697> that he hath spoken <01696> (8765): for
I am risen up <06965> (8799) in the room of David < 01732> my
father <01>, and am set <03427> (8799) on the throne <03678> of
Israel <03478>, as the LORD <03068> promised < 01696> (8765), and
have built <01129> (8799) the house <01004> for the name <08034>
of the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> .

2Ch 06:11 And in it <08033> have I put <07760> (8799) the ark
<0727>, wherein is the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>,
that he made <03772> (8804) with the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>.

2Ch 06:12 ¶ And he stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the altar
<04196> of the LORD <03068> in the presence of all the
congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, and spread forth <06566>
(8799) his hands <03709>:

2Ch 06:13 For Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) a brasen
<05178> scaffold <03595>, of five <02568> cubits <0520> long
<0753>, and five <02568> cubits <0520> broad <07341>, and three
<07969> cubits <0520> high <06967>, and had set <05414> (8799)
it in the midst <08432> of the court <05835>: and upon it he
stood <05975> (8799), and kneeled down <01288> (8799) upon his
knees <01290> before all the congregation <06951> of Israel
<03478>, and spread forth <06566> (8799) his hands <03709>
toward heaven <08064>,

2Ch 06:14 And said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of
Israel <03478>, there is no God <0430> like thee in the heaven
<08064>, nor in the earth <0776>; which keepest < 08104> (8802)
covenant <01285>, and shewest mercy <02617> unto thy servants
<05650>, that walk <01980> (8802) before <06440> thee with all
their hearts <03820>:

2Ch 06:15 Thou which hast kept <08104> (8804) with thy servant
<05650> David <01732> my father <01> that which thou hast
promised <01696> (8765) him; and spakest <01696> (8762) with thy
mouth <06310>, and hast fulfilled <04390> (8765) it with thine
hand <03027>, as it is this day <03117>.

2Ch 06:16 Now therefore, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel
<03478>, keep <08104> (8798) with thy servant < 05650> David
<01732> my father <01> that which thou hast promised <01696>
(8765) him, saying <0559> (8800), There shall not fail < 03772>
(8735) thee a man <0376> in my sight <06440> to sit <03427>
(8802) upon the throne <03678> of Israel <03478>; yet so <07535>
that thy children <01121> take heed <08104> (8799) to their way
<01870> to walk <03212> (8800) in my law <08451> , as thou hast
walked <01980> (8804) before <06440> me.

2Ch 06:17 Now then, O LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,
let thy word <01697> be verified <0539> (8735), which thou hast
spoken <01696> (8765) unto thy servant <05650> David <01732>.

2Ch 06:18 But will God <0430> in very deed <0552> dwell <03427>
(8799) with men <0120> on the earth <0776>? behold, heaven
<08064> and the heaven <08064> of heavens < 08064> cannot contain
<03557> (8770) thee; how much less this house <01004> which I
have built <01129> (8804)!

2Ch 06:19 Have respect <06437> (8804) therefore to the prayer
<08605> of thy servant <05650>, and to his supplication <08467>,
O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, to hearken <08085> (8800) unto the
cry <07440> and the prayer <08605> which thy servant <05650>
prayeth <06419> (8693) before <06440> thee:

2Ch 06:20 That thine eyes <05869> may be open <06605> (8803)
upon this house <01004> day <03119> and night < 03915>, upon the
place <04725> whereof thou hast said <0559> (8804) that thou
wouldest put <07760> (8800) thy name <08034> there; to hearken
<08085> (8800) unto the prayer <08605> which thy servant <05650>
prayeth <06419> (8691) toward this place <04725>.

2Ch 06:21 Hearken <08085> (8804) therefore unto the
supplications <08469> of thy servant <05650>, and of thy people
<05971> Israel <03478>, which they shall make < 06419> (8691)
toward this place <04725>: hear <08085> (8799) thou from thy
dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04725>, even from heaven <08064>;
and when thou hearest <08085> (8804), forgive <05545> (8804).

2Ch 06:22 If a man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against his
neighbour <07453>, and an oath <0423> be laid < 05375> (8804)
upon him to make him swear <0422> (8687), and the oath < 0423>
come <0935> (8804) before <06440> thine altar < 04196> in this
house <01004>;

2Ch 06:23 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven < 08064>,
and do <06213> (8804), and judge <08199> (8804) thy servants
<05650>, by requiting <07725> (8687) the wicked < 07563>, by
recompensing <05414> (8800) his way <01870> upon his own head
<07218>; and by justifying <06663> (8687) the righteous <06662>,
by giving <05414> (8800) him according to his righteousness
<06666>.

2Ch 06:24 And if thy people <05971> Israel <03478> be put to
the worse <05062> (8735) before <06440> the enemy < 0341> (8802),
because they have sinned <02398> (8799) against thee; and shall
return <07725> (8804) and confess <03034> (8689) thy name
<08034>, and pray <06419> (8694) and make supplication <02603>
(8694) before <06440> thee in this house <01004>;

2Ch 06:25 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from the heavens
<08064>, and forgive <05545> (8804) the sin < 02403> of thy
people <05971> Israel <03478>, and bring them again <07725>
(8689) unto the land <0127> which thou gavest <05414> (8804) to
them and to their fathers <01>.

2Ch 06:26 When the heaven <08064> is shut up <06113> (8736),
and there is no rain <04306>, because they have sinned < 02398>
(8799) against thee; yet if they pray <06419> (8694) toward this
place <04725>, and confess <03034> (8689) thy name <08034>, and
turn <07725> (8799) from their sin <02403>, when thou dost
afflict <06031> (8686) them;

2Ch 06:27 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven < 08064>,
and forgive <05545> (8804) the sin <02403> of thy servants
<05650>, and of thy people <05971> Israel < 03478>, when thou
hast taught <03384> (8686) them the good <02896> way <01870>,
wherein they should walk <03212> (8799); and send < 05414> (8804)
rain <04306> upon thy land <0776>, which thou hast given <05414>
(8804) unto thy people <05971> for an inheritance < 05159>.

2Ch 06:28 If there be dearth <07458> in the land < 0776>, if
there be pestilence <01698>, if there be blasting < 07711>, or
mildew <03420>, locusts <0697>, or caterpillers < 02625>; if
their enemies <0341> (8802) besiege <06887> (8686) them in the
cities <08179> of their land <0776>; whatsoever sore <05061> or
whatsoever sickness <04245> there be:

2Ch 06:29 Then what prayer <08605> or what supplication <08467>
soever shall be made of any man <0120>, or of all thy people
<05971> Israel <03478>, when every one <0376> shall know <03045>
(8799) his own sore <05061> and his own grief <04341>, and shall
spread forth <06566> (8804) his hands <03709> in this house
<01004>:

2Ch 06:30 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from heaven < 08064> thy
dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>, and forgive <05545>
(8804), and render <05414> (8804) unto every man < 0376>
according unto all his ways <01870>, whose heart < 03824> thou
knowest <03045> (8799); (for thou only knowest <03045> (8804)
the hearts <03824> of the children <01121> of men < 0120>:)

2Ch 06:31 That they may fear <03372> (8799) thee, to walk
<03212> (8800) in thy ways <01870>, so long as < 03117> they live
<02416> <06440> in the land <0127> which thou gavest <05414>
(8804) unto our fathers <01>.

2Ch 06:32 Moreover concerning the stranger <05237>, which is
not of thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, but is come <0935>
(8804) from a far <07350> country <0776> for thy great <01419>
name’s <08034> sake, and thy mighty <02389> hand < 03027>, and
thy stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <02220>; if they come
<0935> (8804) and pray <06419> (8694) in this house <01004>;

2Ch 06:33 Then hear <08085> (8799) thou from the heavens
<08064>, even from thy dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>,
and do <06213> (8804) according to all that the stranger <05237>
calleth <07121> (8799) to thee for; that all people < 05971> of
the earth <0776> may know <03045> (8799) thy name < 08034>, and
fear <03372> (8800) thee, as doth thy people <05971> Israel
<03478>, and may know <03045> (8800) that this house <01004>
which I have built <01129> (8804) is called <07121> (8738) by
thy name <08034>.

2Ch 06:34 If thy people <05971> go out <03318> (8799) to war
<04421> against their enemies <0341> (8802) by the way <01870>
that thou shalt send <07971> (8799) them, and they pray < 06419>
(8694) unto thee toward <01870> this city <05892> which thou
hast chosen <0977> (8804), and the house <01004> which I have
built <01129> (8804) for thy name <08034>;

2Ch 06:35 Then hear <08085> (8804) thou from the heavens
<08064> their prayer <08605> and their supplication <08467>, and
maintain <06213> (8804) their cause <04941>.

2Ch 06:36 If they sin <02398> (8799) against thee, (for there
is no man <0120> which sinneth <02398> (8799) not,) and thou be
angry <0599> (8804) with them, and deliver <05414> (8804) them
over before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802), and they carry
them away <07617> (8804) captives <07617> (8802) unto a land
<0776> far off <07350> or near <07138>;

2Ch 06:37 Yet if they bethink <07725> (8689) <03824> themselves
in the land <0776> whither they are carried captive < 07617>
(8738), and turn <07725> (8804) and pray <02603> (8694) unto
thee in the land <0776> of their captivity <07628>, saying
<0559> (8800), We have sinned <02398> (8804), we have done amiss
<05753> (8689), and have dealt wickedly <07561> (8804);

2Ch 06:38 If they return <07725> (8804) to thee with all their
heart <03820> and with all their soul <05315> in the land <0776>
of their captivity <07628>, whither they have carried them
captives <07617> (8804), and pray <06419> (8694) toward <01870>
their land <0776>, which thou gavest <05414> (8804) unto their
fathers <01>, and toward the city <05892> which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804), and toward the house <01004> which I have built
<01129> (8804) for thy name <08034>:

2Ch 06:39 Then hear <08085> (8804) thou from the heavens
<08064>, even from thy dwelling <03427> (8800) place <04349>,
their prayer <08605> and their supplications <08467>, and
maintain <06213> (8804) their cause <04941>, and forgive <05545>
(8804) thy people <05971> which have sinned <02398> (8804)
against thee.

2Ch 06:40 Now, my God <0430>, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes
<05869> be open <06605> (8803), and let thine ears <0241> be
attent <07183> unto the prayer <08605> that is made in this
place <04725>.

2Ch 06:41 Now therefore arise <06965> (8798), O LORD < 03068>
God <0430>, into thy resting <05118> place, thou, and the ark
<0727> of thy strength <05797>: let thy priests < 03548>, O LORD
<03068> God <0430>, be clothed <03847> (8799) with salvation
<08668>, and let thy saints <02623> rejoice < 08055> (8799) in
goodness <02896>.

2Ch 06:42 O LORD <03068> God <0430>, turn not away <07725>
(8686) the face <06440> of thine anointed <04899>: remember
<02142> (8798) the mercies <02617> of David < 01732> thy servant
<05650>.

2Ch 07:01 ¶ Now when Solomon <08010> had made an end < 03615>
(8763) of praying <06419> (8692), the fire <0784> came down
<03381> (8804) from heaven <08064>, and consumed < 0398> (8799)
the burnt offering <05930> and the sacrifices <02077>; and the
glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> (8804) the
house <01004>.

2Ch 07:02 And the priests <03548> could <03201> (8804) not
enter <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>,
because the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> had filled <04390>
(8804) the LORD’S <03068> house <01004>.

2Ch 07:03 And when all the children <01121> of Israel < 03478>
saw <07200> (8802) how the fire <0784> came down < 03381> (8800),
and the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> upon the house <01004>,
they bowed <03766> (8799) themselves with their faces < 0639> to
the ground <0776> upon the pavement <07531>, and worshipped
<07812> (8691), and praised <03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>,
saying, For he is good <02896>; for his mercy <02617> endureth
for ever <05769>.

2Ch 07:04 Then the king <04428> and all the people < 05971>
offered <02076> (8802) sacrifices <02077> before < 06440> the
LORD <03068>.

2Ch 07:05 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> offered <02076>
(8799) a sacrifice <02077> of twenty <06242> and two <08147>
thousand <0505> oxen <01241>, and an hundred < 03967> and twenty
<06242> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>: so the king <04428> and
all the people <05971> dedicated <02596> (8799) the house
<01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 07:06 And the priests <03548> waited <05975> (8802) on
their offices <04931>: the Levites <03881> also with instruments
<03627> of musick <07892> of the LORD <03068>, which David
<01732> the king <04428> had made <06213> (8804) to praise
<03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>, because his mercy <02617>
endureth for ever <05769>, when David <01732> praised <01984>
(8763) by their ministry <03027>; and the priests < 03548>
sounded trumpets <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764) before
them, and all Israel <03478> stood <05975> (8802).

2Ch 07:07 Moreover Solomon <08010> hallowed <06942> (8762) the
middle <08432> of the court <02691> that was before <06440> the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: for there he offered <06213>
(8804) burnt offerings <05930>, and the fat <02459> of the peace
offerings <08002>, because the brasen <05178> altar <04196>
which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) was not able
<03201> (8804) to receive <03557> (8687) the burnt offerings
<05930>, and the meat offerings <04503>, and the fat <02459>.

2Ch 07:08 Also at the same time <06256> Solomon < 08010> kept
<06213> (8799) the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>, and
all Israel <03478> with him, a very <03966> great < 01419>
congregation <06951>, from the entering in <0935> (8800) of
Hamath <02574> unto the river <05158> of Egypt < 04714>.

2Ch 07:09 And in the eighth <08066> day <03117> they made
<06213> (8799) a solemn assembly <06116>: for they kept <06213>
(8804) the dedication <02598> of the altar <04196> seven <07651>
days <03117>, and the feast <02282> seven < 07651> days <03117>.

2Ch 07:10 And on the three <07969> and twentieth < 06242> day
<03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320> he sent <07971>
<00> the people <05971> away <07971> (8765) into their tents
<0168>, glad <08056> and merry <02896> in heart <03820> for the
goodness <02896> that the LORD <03068> had shewed < 06213> (8804)
unto David <01732>, and to Solomon <08010>, and to Israel
<03478> his people <05971>.

2Ch 07:11 Thus Solomon <08010> finished <03615> (8762) the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king’s < 04428> house
<01004>: and all that came <0935> (8802) into Solomon’s <08010>
heart <03820> to make <06213> (8800) in the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, and in his own house <01004>, he prosperously
effected <06743> (8689).

2Ch 07:12 ¶ And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) to
Solomon <08010> by night <03915>, and said < 0559> (8799) unto
him, I have heard <08085> (8804) thy prayer <08605>, and have
chosen <0977> (8804) this place <04725> to myself for an house
<01004> of sacrifice <02077>.

2Ch 07:13 If <02005> I shut up <06113> (8799) heaven <08064>
that there be no rain <04306>, or if I command <06680> (8762)
the locusts <02284> to devour <0398> (8800) the land <0776>, or
if I send <07971> (8762) pestilence <01698> among my people
<05971>;

2Ch 07:14 If my people <05971>, which are called < 07121> (8738)
by my name <08034>, shall humble <03665> (8735) themselves, and
pray <06419> (8691), and seek <01245> (8762) my face <06440>,
and turn <07725> (8799) from their wicked <07451> ways <01870>;
then will I hear <08085> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and will
forgive <05545> (8799) their sin <02403>, and will heal <07495>
(8799) their land <0776>.

2Ch 07:15 Now mine eyes <05869> shall be open <06605> (8803),
and mine ears <0241> attent <07183> unto the prayer <08605> that
is made in this place <04725>.

2Ch 07:16 For now have I chosen <0977> (8804) and sanctified
<06942> (8689) this house <01004>, that my name < 08034> may be
there for <05704> ever <05769>: and mine eyes < 05869> and mine
heart <03820> shall be there perpetually <03117>.

2Ch 07:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk <03212> (8799)
before <06440> me, as David <01732> thy father < 01> walked
<01980> (8804), and do <06213> (8800) according to all that I
have commanded <06680> (8765) thee, and shalt observe < 08104>
(8799) my statutes <02706> and my judgments <04941>;

2Ch 07:18 Then will I stablish <06965> (8689) the throne
<03678> of thy kingdom <04438>, according as I have covenanted
<03772> (8804) with David <01732> thy father < 01>, saying <0559>
(8800), There shall not fail <03772> (8735) thee a man < 0376> to
be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478>.

2Ch 07:19 But if ye turn away <07725> (8799), and forsake
<05800> (8804) my statutes <02708> and my commandments <04687>,
which I have set <05414> (8804) before <06440> you, and shall go
<01980> (8804) and serve <05647> (8804) other < 0312> gods <0430>,
and worship <07812> (8694) them;

2Ch 07:20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots <05428> (8804)
out of my land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them;
and this house <01004>, which I have sanctified < 06942> (8689)
for my name <08034>, will I cast out <07993> (8686) of my sight
<06440>, and will make <05414> (8799) it to be a proverb <04912>
and a byword <08148> among all nations <05971>.

2Ch 07:21 And this house <01004>, which is high < 05945>, shall
be an astonishment <08074> (8799) to every one that passeth
<05674> (8802) by it; so that he shall say <0559> (8804), Why
hath the LORD <03068> done <06213> (8804) thus unto this land
<0776>, and unto this house <01004>?

2Ch 07:22 And it shall be answered <0559> (8804), Because they
forsook <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of their
fathers <01>, which brought them forth <03318> (8689) out of the
land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and laid hold < 02388> (8686) on
other <0312> gods <0430>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) them,
and served <05647> (8799) them: therefore hath he brought <0935>
(8689) all this evil <07451> upon them.

2Ch 08:01 ¶ And it came to pass at the end <07093> of twenty
<06242> years <08141>, wherein Solomon <08010> had built <01129>
(8804) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and his own house
<01004>,

2Ch 08:02 That the cities <05892> which Huram <02361> had
restored <05414> (8804) to Solomon <08010>, Solomon <08010>
built <01129> (8804) them, and caused the children < 01121> of
Israel <03478> to dwell <03427> (8686) there.

2Ch 08:03 And Solomon <08010> went <03212> (8799) to
Hamathzobah <02578>, and prevailed <02388> (8799) against it.

2Ch 08:04 And he built <01129> (8799) Tadmor <08412> in the
wilderness <04057>, and all the store <04543> cities <05892>,
which he built <01129> (8804) in Hamath <02574>.

2Ch 08:05 Also he built <01129> (8799) Bethhoron < 01032> the
upper <05945>, and Bethhoron <01032> the nether < 08481>, fenced
<04692> cities <05892>, with walls <02346>, gates <01817>, and
bars <01280>;

2Ch 08:06 And Baalath <01191>, and all the store < 04543> cities
<05892> that Solomon <08010> had, and all the chariot <07393>
cities <05892>, and the cities <05892> of the horsemen <06571>,
and all that Solomon <08010> desired <02836> (8804) <02837> to
build <01129> (8800) in Jerusalem <03389>, and in Lebanon
<03844>, and throughout all the land <0776> of his dominion
<04475>.

2Ch 08:07 As for all the people <05971> that were left < 03498>
(8737) of the Hittites <02850>, and the Amorites < 0567>, and the
Perizzites <06522>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites
<02983>, which were not of Israel <03478>,

2Ch 08:08 But of their children <01121>, who were left < 03498>
(8738) after <0310> them in the land <0776>, whom the children
<01121> of Israel <03478> consumed <03615> (8765) not, them did
Solomon <08010> make to pay <05927> (8686) tribute <04522> until
this day <03117>.

2Ch 08:09 But of the children <01121> of Israel < 03478> did
Solomon <08010> make <05414> (8804) no servants < 05650> for his
work <04399>; but they were men <0582> of war < 04421>, and chief
<08269> of his captains <07991>, and captains < 08269> of his
chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571>.

2Ch 08:10 And these were the chief <08269> of king < 04428>
Solomon’s <08010> officers <05324> (8737) (8675) < 05333>, even
two hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>, that bare rule <07287>
(8802) over the people <05971>.

2Ch 08:11 And Solomon <08010> brought up <05927> (8689) the
daughter <01323> of Pharaoh <06547> out of the city <05892> of
David <01732> unto the house <01004> that he had built <01129>
(8804) for her: for he said <0559> (8804), My wife < 0802> shall
not dwell <03427> (8799) in the house <01004> of David <01732>
king <04428> of Israel <03478>, because the places are holy
<06944>, whereunto the ark <0727> of the LORD < 03068> hath come
<0935> (8804).

2Ch 08:12 ¶ Then Solomon <08010> offered <05927> (8689) burnt
offerings <05930> unto the LORD <03068> on the altar <04196> of
the LORD <03068>, which he had built <01129> (8804) before
<06440> the porch <0197>,

2Ch 08:13 Even after a certain rate <01697> every day < 03117>,
offering <05927> (8687) according to the commandment < 04687> of
Moses <04872>, on the sabbaths <07676>, and on the new moons
<02320>, and on the solemn feasts <04150>, three < 07969> times
<06471> in the year <08141>, even in the feast < 02282> of
unleavened bread <04682>, and in the feast <02282> of weeks
<07620>, and in the feast <02282> of tabernacles < 05521>.

2Ch 08:14 And he appointed <05975> (8686), according to the
order <04941> of David <01732> his father <01>, the courses
<04256> of the priests <03548> to their service < 05656>, and the
Levites <03881> to their charges <04931>, to praise <01984>
(8763) and minister <08334> (8763) before the priests < 03548>,
as the duty <01697> of every day <03117> required < 03117>: the
porters <07778> also by their courses <04256> at every gate
<08179>: for so had David <01732> the man <0376> of God <0430>
commanded <04687>.

2Ch 08:15 And they departed <05493> (8804) not from the
commandment <04687> of the king <04428> unto the priests <03548>
and Levites <03881> concerning any matter <01697>, or concerning
the treasures <0214>.

2Ch 08:16 Now all the work <04399> of Solomon <08010> was
prepared <03559> (8735) unto the day <03117> of the foundation
<04143> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> , and until it
was finished <03615> (8800). So the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> was perfected <08003>.

2Ch 08:17 Then went <01980> (8804) Solomon <08010> to
Eziongeber <06100>, and to Eloth <0359>, at the sea <03220> side
<08193> in the land <0776> of Edom <0123>.

2Ch 08:18 And Huram <02361> sent <07971> (8799) him by the
hands <03027> of his servants <05650> ships < 0591> (8675) <0591>,
and servants <05650> that had knowledge <03045> (8802) of the
sea <03220>; and they went <0935> (8799) with the servants
<05650> of Solomon <08010> to Ophir <0211>, and took <03947>
(8799) thence four <0702> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>
talents <03603> of gold <02091>, and brought < 0935> (8686) them
to king <04428> Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:01 ¶ And when the queen <04436> of Sheba < 07614> heard
<08085> (8804) of the fame <08088> of Solomon < 08010>, she came
<0935> (8799) to prove <05254> (8763) Solomon < 08010> with hard
questions <02420> at Jerusalem <03389>, with a very <03966>
great <03515> company <02428>, and camels < 01581> that bare
<05375> (8802) spices <01314>, and gold <02091> in abundance
<07230>, and precious <03368> stones <068>: and when she was
come <0935> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, she communed <01696>
(8762) with him of all that was in her heart <03824>.

2Ch 09:02 And Solomon <08010> told <05046> (8686) her all her
questions <01697>: and there was nothing hid <05956> (8738) from
Solomon <08010> which he told <05046> (8689) her not.

2Ch 09:03 And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> had seen
<07200> (8799) the wisdom <02451> of Solomon < 08010>, and the
house <01004> that he had built <01129> (8804),

2Ch 09:04 And the meat <03978> of his table <07979>, and the
sitting <04186> of his servants <05650>, and the attendance
<04612> of his ministers <08334> (8764), and their apparel
<04403>; his cupbearers <08248> (8688) also, and their apparel
<04403>; and his ascent <05944> by which he went up <05927>
(8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; there was no
more spirit <07307> in her.

2Ch 09:05 And she said <0559> (8799) to the king < 04428>, It
was a true <0571> report <01697> which I heard < 08085> (8804) in
mine own land <0776> of thine acts <01697>, and of thy wisdom
<02451>:

2Ch 09:06 Howbeit I believed <0539> (8689) not their words
<01697>, until I came <0935> (8804), and mine eyes <05869> had
seen <07200> (8799) it: and, behold, the one half < 02677> of the
greatness <04768> of thy wisdom <02451> was not told <05046>
(8717) me: for thou exceedest <03254> (8804) the fame < 08052>
that I heard <08085> (8804).

2Ch 09:07 Happy <0835> are thy men <0582>, and happy <0835> are
these thy servants <05650>, which stand <05975> (8802)
continually <08548> before <06440> thee, and hear < 08085> (8802)
thy wisdom <02451>.

2Ch 09:08 Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> thy God
<0430>, which delighted <02654> (8804) in thee to set <05414>
(8800) thee on his throne <03678>, to be king <04428> for the
LORD <03068> thy God <0430>: because thy God < 0430> loved <0160>
Israel <03478>, to establish <05975> (8687) them for ever
<05769>, therefore made <05414> (8799) he thee king <04428> over
them, to do <06213> (8800) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>.

2Ch 09:09 And she gave <05414> (8799) the king < 04428> an
hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents < 03603> of gold
<02091>, and of spices <01314> great <03966> abundance <07230>,
and precious <03368> stones <068>: neither was there any such
spice <01314> as the queen <04436> of Sheba < 07614> gave <05414>
(8804) king <04428> Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:10 And the servants <05650> also of Huram < 02361>, and
the servants <05650> of Solomon <08010>, which brought <0935>
(8689) gold <02091> from Ophir <0211>, brought < 0935> (8689)
algum <0418> trees <06086> and precious <03368> stones <068>.

2Ch 09:11 And the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) of the algum
<0418> trees <06086> terraces <04546> to the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068>, and to the king’s <04428> palace <01004>, and
harps <03658> and psalteries <05035> for singers < 07891> (8802):
and there were none such <01992> seen <07200> (8738) before
<06440> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 09:12 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave < 05414> (8804)
to the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> all her desire <02656>,
whatsoever she asked <07592> (8804), beside that which she had
brought <0935> (8689) unto the king <04428>. So she turned
<02015> (8799), and went away <03212> (8799) to her own land
<0776>, she and her servants <05650>.

2Ch 09:13 ¶ Now the weight <04948> of gold <02091> that came
<0935> (8804) to Solomon <08010> in one <0259> year <08141> was
six <08337> hundred <03967> and threescore < 08346> and six
<08337> talents <03603> of gold <02091>;

2Ch 09:14 Beside that which chapmen <0582> <08446> (8802) and
merchants <05503> (8802) brought <0935> (8688). And all the
kings <04428> of Arabia <06152> and governors < 06346> of the
country <0776> brought <0935> (8688) gold < 02091> and silver
<03701> to Solomon <08010>.

2Ch 09:15 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> made < 06213> (8799)
two hundred <03967> targets <06793> of beaten < 07820> (8803)
gold <02091>: six <08337> hundred <03967> shekels of beaten
<07820> (8803) gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259>
target <06793>.

2Ch 09:16 And three <07969> hundred <03967> shields <04043>
made he of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091>: three <07969>
hundred <03967> shekels of gold <02091> went < 05927> (8686) to
one <0259> shield <04043>. And the king <04428> put <05414>
(8799) them in the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of
Lebanon <03844>.

2Ch 09:17 Moreover the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) a great
<01419> throne <03678> of ivory <08127>, and overlaid <06823>
(8762) it with pure <02889> gold <02091>.

2Ch 09:18 And there were six <08337> steps <04609> to the
throne <03678>, with a footstool <03534> of gold < 02091>, which
were fastened <0270> (8716) to the throne <03678>, and stays
<03027> on each side of the sitting <03427> (8800) place <04725>,
and two <08147> lions <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681>
the stays <03027>:

2Ch 09:19 And twelve <08147> <06240> lions < 0738> stood <05975>
(8802) there on the one side and on the other upon the six
<08337> steps <04609>. There was not the like made <06213>
(8738) in any kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 09:20 And all the drinking <04945> vessels < 03627> of king
<04428> Solomon <08010> were of gold <02091>, and all the
vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of
Lebanon <03844> were of pure <05462> (8803) gold < 02091>: none
were of silver <03701>; it was not any <03972> thing accounted
<02803> (8737) of in the days <03117> of Solomon < 08010>.

2Ch 09:21 For the king’s <04428> ships <0591> went <01980>
(8802) to Tarshish <08659> with the servants <05650> of Huram
<02361>: every three <07969> years <08141> once <0259> came
<0935> (8799) the ships <0591> of Tarshish < 08659> bringing
<05375> (8802) gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, ivory <08143>,
and apes <06971>, and peacocks <08500>.

2Ch 09:22 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> passed <01431>
(8799) all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> in riches
<06239> and wisdom <02451>.

2Ch 09:23 And all the kings <04428> of the earth < 0776> sought
<01245> (8764) the presence <06440> of Solomon < 08010>, to hear
<08085> (8800) his wisdom <02451>, that God < 0430> had put
<05414> (8804) in his heart <03820>.

2Ch 09:24 And they brought <0935> (8688) every man < 0376> his
present <04503>, vessels <03627> of silver < 03701>, and vessels
<03627> of gold <02091>, and raiment <08008>, harness <05402>,
and spices <01314>, horses <05483>, and mules < 06505>, a rate
<01697> year <08141> by year <08141>.

2Ch 09:25 And Solomon <08010> had four <0702> thousand <0505>
stalls <0723> for horses <05483> and chariots < 04818>, and
twelve <08147> <06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>; whom he
bestowed <03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities <05892>,
and with the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 09:26 And he reigned <04910> (8802) over all the kings
<04428> from the river <05104> even unto the land < 0776> of the
Philistines <06430>, and to the border <01366> of Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 09:27 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver
<03701> in Jerusalem <03389> as stones <068>, and cedar trees
<0730> made <05414> (8804) he as the sycomore trees <08256> that
are in the low plains <08219> in abundance <07230>.

2Ch 09:28 And they brought <03318> (8688) unto Solomon < 08010>
horses <05483> out of Egypt <04714>, and out of all lands <0776>.

2Ch 09:29 Now the rest <07605> of the acts <01697> of Solomon
<08010>, first <07223> and last <0314>, are they not written
<03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Nathan < 05416> the prophet
<05030>, and in the prophecy <05016> of Ahijah < 0281> the
Shilonite <07888>, and in the visions <02378> of Iddo <03260>
the seer <02374> against Jeroboam <03379> the son < 01121> of
Nebat <05028>?

2Ch 09:30 And Solomon <08010> reigned <04427> (8799) in
Jerusalem <03389> over all Israel <03478> forty < 0705> years
<08141>.

2Ch 09:31 And Solomon <08010> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and he was buried <06912> (8799) in the city
<05892> of David <01732> his father <01>: and Rehoboam <07346>
his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 10:01 ¶ And Rehoboam <07346> went <03212> (8799) to Shechem
<07927>: for to Shechem <07927> were all Israel < 03478> come
<0935> (8804) to make him king <04427> (8687).

2Ch 10:02 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam <03379> the son
<01121> of Nebat <05028>, who was in Egypt < 04714>, whither he
had fled <01272> (8804) from the presence <06440> of Solomon
<08010> the king <04428>, heard <08085> (8800) it, that Jeroboam
<03379> returned <07725> (8799) out of Egypt < 04714>.

2Ch 10:03 And they sent <07971> (8799) and called < 07121>
(8799) him. So Jeroboam <03379> and all Israel <03478> came
<0935> (8799) and spake <01696> (8762) to Rehoboam <07346>,
saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 10:04 Thy father <01> made our yoke <05923> grievous
<07185> (8689): now therefore ease <07043> (8685) thou somewhat
the grievous <07186> servitude <05656> of thy father <01>, and
his heavy <03515> yoke <05923> that he put < 05414> (8804) upon
us, and we will serve <05647> (8799) thee.

2Ch 10:05 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Come again
<07725> (8798) unto me after three <07969> days < 03117>. And the
people <05971> departed <03212> (8799).

2Ch 10:06 And king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> took counsel
<03289> (8735) with the old <02205> men that had stood <05975>
(8802) before <06440> Solomon <08010> his father < 01> while he
yet lived <02416>, saying <0559> (8800), What < 0349> counsel
give <03289> (8737) ye me to return <07725> (8687) answer
<01697> to this people <05971>?

2Ch 10:07 And they spake <01696> (8762) unto him, saying <0559>
(8800), If thou be kind <02896> to this people <05971> , and
please <07521> (8804) them, and speak <01696> (8765) good
<02896> words <01697> to them, they will be thy servants <05650>
for ever <03117>.

2Ch 10:08 But he forsook <05800> (8799) the counsel < 06098>
which the old men <02205> gave <03289> (8804) him, and took
counsel <03289> (8735) with the young men <03206> that were
brought up <01431> (8804) with him, that stood <05975> (8802)
before <06440> him.

2Ch 10:09 And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, What advice
<03289> (8737) give ye that we may return <07725> (8686) answer
<01697> to this people <05971>, which have spoken < 01696> (8765)
to me, saying <0559> (8800), Ease <07043> (8685) somewhat the
yoke <05923> that thy father <01> did put < 05414> (8804) upon us?

2Ch 10:10 And the young men <03206> that were brought up
<01431> (8804) with him spake <01696> (8762) unto him, saying
<0559> (8800), Thus shalt thou answer <0559> (8799) the people
<05971> that spake <01696> (8765) unto thee, saying <0559>
(8800), Thy father <01> made <03513> <00> our yoke <05923> heavy
<03513> (8689), but make thou it somewhat lighter < 07043> (8685)
for us; thus shalt thou say <0559> (8799) unto them, My little
<06995> finger shall be thicker <05666> (8804) than my father’s
<01> loins <04975>.

2Ch 10:11 For whereas <06258> my father <01> put < 06006> (8689)
a heavy <03515> yoke <05923> upon you, I will put more <03254>
(8686) to your yoke <05923>: my father <01> chastised <03256>
(8765) you with whips <07752>, but I will chastise you with
scorpions <06137>.

2Ch 10:12 ¶ So Jeroboam <03379> and all the people < 05971> came
<0935> (8799) to Rehoboam <07346> on the third < 07992> day
<03117>, as the king <04428> bade <01696> (8765), saying <0559>
(8800), Come again <07725> (8798) to me on the third < 07992> day
<03117>.

2Ch 10:13 And the king <04428> answered <06030> (8799) them
roughly <07186>; and king <04428> Rehoboam < 07346> forsook
<05800> (8799) the counsel <06098> of the old men < 02205>,

2Ch 10:14 And answered <01696> (8762) them after the advice
<06098> of the young men <03206>, saying <0559> (8800), My
father <01> made your yoke <05923> heavy <03513> (8689), but I
will add <03254> (8686) thereto: my father <01> chastised
<03256> (8765) you with whips <07752>, but I will chastise you
with scorpions <06137>.

2Ch 10:15 So the king <04428> hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto
the people <05971>: for the cause <05252> was of God <0430>,
that the LORD <03068> might perform <06965> (8687) his word
<01697>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by the hand <03027> of
Ahijah <0281> the Shilonite <07888> to Jeroboam < 03379> the son
<01121> of Nebat <05028>.

2Ch 10:16 And when all Israel <03478> saw <07200> (8804) that
the king <04428> would not hearken <08085> (8804) unto them, the
people <05971> answered <07725> (8686) the king < 04428>, saying
<0559> (8800), What portion <02506> have we in David <01732>?
and we have none inheritance <05159> in the son < 01121> of Jesse
<03448>: every man <0376> to your tents <0168>, O Israel <03478>:
and now, David <01732>, see <07200> (8798) to thine own house
<01004>. So all Israel <03478> went <03212> (8799) to their
tents <0168>.

2Ch 10:17 But as for the children <01121> of Israel < 03478>
that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,
Rehoboam <07346> reigned <04427> (8799) over them.

2Ch 10:18 Then king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> sent <07971>
(8799) Hadoram <01913> that was over the tribute < 04522>; and
the children <01121> of Israel <03478> stoned < 07275> (8799) him
with stones <068>, that he died <04191> (8799). But king <04428>
Rehoboam <07346> made speed <0553> (8694) to get him up <05927>
(8800) to his chariot <04818>, to flee <05127> (8800) to
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 10:19 And Israel <03478> rebelled <06586> (8799) against
the house <01004> of David <01732> unto this day < 03117>.

2Ch 11:01 ¶ And when Rehoboam <07346> was come <0935> (8799) to
Jerusalem <03389>, he gathered <06950> (8686) of the house
<01004> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144> an hundred <03967>
and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> chosen < 0977> (8803) men,
which were warriors <06213> (8802) <04421>, to fight <03898>
(8736) against Israel <03478>, that he might bring < 07725> <00>
the kingdom <04467> again <07725> (8687) to Rehoboam <07346>.

2Ch 11:02 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to
Shemaiah <08098> the man <0376> of God <0430>, saying <0559>
(8800),

2Ch 11:03 Speak <0559> (8798) unto Rehoboam <07346> the son
<01121> of Solomon <08010>, king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and
to all Israel <03478> in Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>,
saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 11:04 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Ye shall
not go up <05927> (8799), nor fight <03898> (8735) against your
brethren <0251>: return <07725> (8798) every man < 0376> to his
house <01004>: for this thing <01697> is done < 01961> (8738) of
me. And they obeyed <08085> (8799) the words <01697> of the LORD
<03068>, and returned <07725> (8799) from going < 03212> (8800)
against Jeroboam <03379>.

2Ch 11:05 And Rehoboam <07346> dwelt <03427> (8799) in
Jerusalem <03389>, and built <01129> (8799) cities <05892> for
defence <04692> in Judah <03063>.

2Ch 11:06 He built <01129> (8799) even Bethlehem < 01035>, and
Etam <05862>, and Tekoa <08620>,

2Ch 11:07 And Bethzur <01049>, and Shoco <07755>, and Adullam
<05725>,

2Ch 11:08 And Gath <01661>, and Mareshah <04762>, and Ziph
<02128>,

2Ch 11:09 And Adoraim <0115>, and Lachish <03923>, and Azekah
<05825>,

2Ch 11:10 And Zorah <06881>, and Aijalon <0357>, and Hebron
<02275>, which are in Judah <03063> and in Benjamin <01144>
fenced <04694> cities <05892>.

2Ch 11:11 And he fortified <02388> (8762) the strong holds
<04694>, and put <05414> (8799) captains <05057> in them, and
store <0214> of victual <03978>, and of oil < 08081> and wine
<03196>.

2Ch 11:12 And in every several city <05892> he put shields
<06793> and spears <07420>, and made them exceeding <07235>
(8687) <03966> strong <02388> (8762), having Judah <03063> and
Benjamin <01144> on his side.

2Ch 11:13 ¶ And the priests <03548> and the Levites < 03881> that
were in all Israel <03478> resorted <03320> (8694) to him out of
all their coasts <01366>.

2Ch 11:14 For the Levites <03881> left <05800> (8804) their
suburbs <04054> and their possession <0272>, and came <03212>
(8799) to Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>: for Jeroboam
<03379> and his sons <01121> had cast them off < 02186> (8689)
from executing the priest’s office <03547> (8763) unto the LORD
<03068>:

2Ch 11:15 And he ordained <05975> (8686) him priests < 03548>
for the high places <01116>, and for the devils < 08163>, and for
the calves <05695> which he had made <06213> (8804).

2Ch 11:16 And after <0310> them out of all the tribes < 07626>
of Israel <03478> such as set <05414> (8802) their hearts
<03824> to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of
Israel <03478> came <0935> (8804) to Jerusalem < 03389>, to
sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of
their fathers <01>.

2Ch 11:17 So they strengthened <02388> (8762) the kingdom
<04438> of Judah <03063>, and made Rehoboam < 07346> the son
<01121> of Solomon <08010> strong <0553> (8762), three <07969>
years <08141>: for three <07969> years <08141> they walked
<01980> (8804) in the way <01870> of David < 01732> and Solomon
<08010>.

2Ch 11:18 And Rehoboam <07346> took <03947> (8799) him Mahalath
<04258> the daughter <01323> (8675) <01121> of Jerimoth <03406>
the son <01121> of David <01732> to wife <0802>, and Abihail
<032> the daughter <01323> of Eliab <0446> the son <01121> of
Jesse <03448>;

2Ch 11:9 Which bare <03205> (8799) him children < 01121>; Jeush
<03266>, and Shamariah <08114>, and Zaham < 02093>.

2Ch 11:20 And after <0310> her he took <03947> (8804) Maachah
<04601> the daughter <01323> of Absalom <053>; which bare
<03205> (8799) him Abijah <029>, and Attai < 06262>, and Ziza
<02124>, and Shelomith <08019>.

2Ch 11:21 And Rehoboam <07346> loved <0157> (8799) Maachah
<04601> the daughter <01323> of Absalom <053> above all his
wives <0802> and his concubines <06370>: (for he took <05375>
(8804) eighteen <08083> <06240> wives <0802>, and threescore
<08346> concubines <06370>; and begat <03205> (8686) twenty
<06242> and eight <08083> sons <01121>, and threescore <08346>
daughters <01323>.)

2Ch 11:22 And Rehoboam <07346> made <05975> (8686) Abijah <029>
the son <01121> of Maachah <04601> the chief < 07218>, to be
ruler <05057> among his brethren <0251>: for he thought to make
him king <04427> (8687).

2Ch 11:23 And he dealt wisely <0995> (8799), and dispersed
<06555> (8799) of all his children <01121> throughout all the
countries <0776> of Judah <03063> and Benjamin < 01144>, unto
every fenced <04694> city <05892>: and he gave < 05414> (8799)
them victual <04202> in abundance <07230>. And he desired
<07592> (8799) many <01995> wives <0802>.

2Ch 12:01 ¶ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam <07346> had
established <03559> (8687) the kingdom <04438>, and had
strengthened <02393> himself, he forsook <05800> (8804) the law
<08451> of the LORD <03068>, and all Israel < 03478> with him.

2Ch 12:02 And it came to pass, that in the fifth <02549> year
<08141> of king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> Shishak <07895> king
<04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) against
Jerusalem <03389>, because they had transgressed < 04603> (8804)
against the LORD <03068>,

2Ch 12:03 With twelve hundred <03967> <0505> chariots <07393>,
and threescore <08346> thousand <0505> horsemen < 06571>: and the
people <05971> were without number <04557> that came <0935>
(8804) with him out of Egypt <04714>; the Lubims < 03864>, the
Sukkiims <05525>, and the Ethiopians <03569>.

2Ch 12:04 And he took <03920> (8799) the fenced < 04694> cities
<05892> which pertained to Judah <03063>, and came <0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 12:05 Then came <0935> (8804) Shemaiah <08098> the prophet
<05030> to Rehoboam <07346>, and to the princes < 08269> of Judah
<03063>, that were gathered together <0622> (8738) to Jerusalem
<03389> because <06440> of Shishak <07895>, and said <0559>
(8799) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD < 03068>, Ye
have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and therefore have I also
<0637> left <05800> (8804) you in the hand < 03027> of Shishak
<07895>.

2Ch 12:06 Whereupon the princes <08269> of Israel < 03478> and
the king <04428> humbled <03665> (8735) themselves; and they
said <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> is righteous < 06662>.

2Ch 12:07 And when the LORD <03068> saw <07200> (8800) that
they humbled <03665> (8738) themselves, the word < 01697> of the
LORD <03068> came to Shemaiah <08098>, saying < 0559> (8800),
They have humbled <03665> (8738) themselves; therefore I will
not destroy <07843> (8686) them, but I will grant < 05414> (8804)
them some <04592> deliverance <06413>; and my wrath <02534>
shall not be poured out <05413> (8799) upon Jerusalem < 03389> by
the hand <03027> of Shishak <07895>.

2Ch 12:08 Nevertheless they shall be his servants <05650>; that
they may know <03045> (8799) my service <05656>, and the service
<05656> of the kingdoms <04467> of the countries < 0776>.

2Ch 12:09 So Shishak <07895> king <04428> of Egypt <04714> came
up <05927> (8799) against Jerusalem <03389>, and took away
<03947> (8799) the treasures <0214> of the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, and the treasures <0214> of the king’s <04428>
house <01004>; he took <03947> (8804) all: he carried away
<03947> (8799) also the shields <04043> of gold < 02091> which
Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804).

2Ch 12:10 Instead of which king <04428> Rehoboam < 07346> made
<06213> (8799) shields <04043> of brass <05178>, and committed
<06485> (8689) them to the hands <03027> of the chief <08269> of
the guard <07323> (8801), that kept <08104> (8802) the entrance
<06607> of the king’s <04428> house <01004>.

2Ch 12:11 And when <01767> the king <04428> entered <0935>
(8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, the guard
<07323> (8801) came <0935> (8804) and fetched < 05375> (8804)
them, and brought them again <07725> (8689) into the guard
<07323> (8801) chamber <08372>.

2Ch 12:12 And when he humbled <03665> (8736) himself, the wrath
<0639> of the LORD <03068> turned <07725> (8804) from him, that
he would not destroy <07843> (8687) him altogether < 03617>: and
also in Judah <03063> things <01697> went well < 02896>.

2Ch 12:13 ¶ So king <04428> Rehoboam <07346> strengthened
<02388> (8691) himself in Jerusalem <03389>, and reigned <04427>
(8799): for Rehoboam <07346> was one <0259> and forty <0705>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) seventeen <07651> < 06240> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>, the city <05892> which the LORD
<03068> had chosen <0977> (8804) out of all the tribes <07626>
of Israel <03478>, to put <07760> (8800) his name < 08034> there.
And his mother’s <0517> name <08034> was Naamah < 05279> an
Ammonitess <05985>.

2Ch 12:14 And he did <06213> (8799) evil <07451>, because he
prepared <03559> (8689) not his heart <03820> to seek <01875>
(8800) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 12:15 Now the acts <01697> of Rehoboam <07346>, first
<07223> and last <0314>, are they not written < 03789> (8803) in
the book <01697> of Shemaiah <08098> the prophet < 05030>, and of
Iddo <05714> the seer <02374> concerning genealogies <03187>
(8692)? And there were wars <04421> between Rehoboam < 07346> and
Jeroboam <03379> continually <03117>.

2Ch 12:16 And Rehoboam <07346> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) in the city <05892>
of David <01732>: and Abijah <029> his son < 01121> reigned
<04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 13:01 ¶ Now in the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141>
of king <04428> Jeroboam <03379> began Abijah < 029> to reign
<04427> (8799) over Judah <03063>.

2Ch 13:02 He reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> years <08141>
in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name < 08034> also was
Michaiah <04322> the daughter <01323> of Uriel < 0222> of Gibeah
<01390>. And there was war <04421> between Abijah < 029> and
Jeroboam <03379>.

2Ch 13:03 And Abijah <029> set <0631> <00> the battle <04421>
in array <0631> (8799) with an army <02428> of valiant men
<01368> of war <04421>, even four <0702> hundred <03967>
thousand <0505> chosen <0977> (8803) men <0376>: Jeroboam
<03379> also set the battle <04421> in array < 06186> (8804)
against him with eight <08083> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>
chosen <0977> (8803) men <0376>, being mighty men < 01368> of
valour <02428>.

2Ch 13:04 And Abijah <029> stood up <06965> (8799) upon mount
<02022> Zemaraim <06787>, which is in mount < 02022> Ephraim
<0669>, and said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798) me, thou
Jeroboam <03379>, and all Israel <03478>;

2Ch 13:05 Ought ye not to know <03045> (8800) that the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> gave < 05414> (8804) the
kingdom <04467> over Israel <03478> to David < 01732> for ever
<05769>, even to him and to his sons <01121> by a covenant
<01285> of salt <04417>?

2Ch 13:06 Yet Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>,
the servant <05650> of Solomon <08010> the son < 01121> of David
<01732>, is risen up <06965> (8799), and hath rebelled <04775>
(8799) against his lord <0113>.

2Ch 13:07 And there are gathered <06908> (8735) unto him vain
<07386> men <0582>, the children <01121> of Belial <01100>, and
have strengthened <0553> (8691) themselves against Rehoboam
<07346> the son <01121> of Solomon <08010>, when Rehoboam
<07346> was young <05288> and tenderhearted < 07390> <03824>, and
could not withstand <02388> (8694) them <06440>.

2Ch 13:08 And now ye think <0559> (8802) to withstand < 02388>
(8692) the kingdom <06440> <04467> of the LORD < 03068> in the
hand <03027> of the sons <01121> of David < 01732>; and ye be a
great <07227> multitude <01995>, and there are with you golden
<02091> calves <05695>, which Jeroboam <03379> made <06213>
(8804) you for gods <0430>.

2Ch 13:09 Have ye not cast out <05080> (8689) the priests
<03548> of the LORD <03068>, the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>,
and the Levites <03881>, and have made <06213> (8799) you
priests <03548> after the manner of the nations < 05971> of other
lands <0776>? so that whosoever cometh <0935> (8802) to
consecrate <04390> (8763) <03027> himself with a young <01121>
<01241> bullock <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>, the same
may be a priest <03548> of them that are no <03808> gods <0430>.

2Ch 13:10 But as for us, the LORD <03068> is our God < 0430>,
and we have not forsaken <05800> (8804) him; and the priests
<03548>, which minister <08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068>,
are the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>, and the Levites <03881>
wait upon their business <04399>:

2Ch 13:11 And they burn <06999> (8688) unto the LORD < 03068>
every morning <01242> and every evening <06153> burnt sacrifices
<05930> and sweet <05561> incense <07004>: the shewbread <03899>
<04635> also set they in order upon the pure <02889> table
<07979>; and the candlestick <04501> of gold < 02091> with the
lamps <05216> thereof, to burn <01197> (8763) every evening
<06153>: for we keep <08104> (8802) the charge < 04931> of the
LORD <03068> our God <0430>; but ye have forsaken < 05800> (8804)
him.

2Ch 13:12 And, behold, God <0430> himself is with us for our
captain <07218>, and his priests <03548> with sounding <08643>
trumpets <02689> to cry alarm <07321> (8687) against you. O
children <01121> of Israel <03478>, fight < 03898> (8735) ye not
against the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>; for ye
shall not prosper <06743> (8686).

2Ch 13:13 ¶ But Jeroboam <03379> caused an ambushment < 03993> to
come <0935> (8800) about <05437> (8689) behind < 0310> them: so
they were before <06440> Judah <03063>, and the ambushment
<03993> was behind <0310> them.

2Ch 13:14 And when Judah <03063> looked back <06437> (8799),
behold, the battle <04421> was before <06440> and behind <0268>:
and they cried <06817> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and the
priests <03548> sounded <02690> (8688) (8675) < 02690> (8764)
with the trumpets <02689>.

2Ch 13:15 Then the men <0376> of Judah <03063> gave a shout
<07321> (8686): and as the men <0376> of Judah < 03063> shouted
<07321> (8687), it came to pass, that God <0430> smote <05062>
(8804) Jeroboam <03379> and all Israel <03478> before <06440>
Abijah <029> and Judah <03063>.

2Ch 13:16 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> fled
<05127> (8799) before <06440> Judah <03063>: and God <0430>
delivered <05414> (8799) them into their hand <03027>.

2Ch 13:17 And Abijah <029> and his people <05971> slew <05221>
(8686) them with a great <07227> slaughter <04347>: so there
fell down <05307> (8799) slain <02491> of Israel < 03478> five
<02568> hundred <03967> thousand <0505> chosen <0977> (8803) men
<0376>.

2Ch 13:18 Thus the children <01121> of Israel <03478> were
brought <03665> (8735) under at that time <06256>, and the
children <01121> of Judah <03063> prevailed < 0553> (8799),
because they relied <08172> (8738) upon the LORD < 03068> God
<0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 13:19 And Abijah <029> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310>
Jeroboam <03379>, and took <03920> (8799) cities < 05892> from
him, Bethel <01008> with the towns <01323> thereof, and Jeshanah
<03466> with the towns <01323> thereof, and Ephrain <06085> with
the towns <01323> thereof.

2Ch 13:20 Neither did Jeroboam <03379> recover < 06113> (8804)
strength <03581> again in the days <03117> of Abijah <029>: and
the LORD <03068> struck <05062> (8799) him, and he died <04191>
(8799).

2Ch 13:21 But Abijah <029> waxed mighty <02388> (8691), and
married <05375> (8799) fourteen <0702> <06240> wives <0802>, and
begat <03205> (8686) twenty <06242> and two < 08147> sons <01121>,
and sixteen <08337> <06240> daughters <01323>.

2Ch 13:22 And the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Abijah
<029>, and his ways <01870>, and his sayings < 01697>, are
written <03789> (8803) in the story <04097> of the prophet
<05030> Iddo <05714>.

2Ch 14:01 ¶ So Abijah <029> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city
<05892> of David <01732>: and Asa <0609> his son <01121> reigned
<04427> (8799) in his stead. In his days <03117> the land <0776>
was quiet <08252> (8804) ten <06235> years < 08141>.

2Ch 14:02 And Asa <0609> did <06213> (8799) that which was good
<02896> and right <03477> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD
<03068> his God <0430>:

2Ch 14:03 For he took away <05493> (8686) the altars < 04196> of
the strange <05236> gods, and the high places <01116>, and brake
down <07665> (8762) the images <04676>, and cut down <01438>
(8762) the groves <0842>:

2Ch 14:04 And commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> to seek
<01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>,
and to do <06213> (8800) the law <08451> and the commandment
<04687>.

2Ch 14:05 Also he took away <05493> (8686) out of all the
cities <05892> of Judah <03063> the high places < 01116> and the
images <02553>: and the kingdom <04467> was quiet < 08252> (8799)
before <06440> him.

2Ch 14:06 And he built <01129> (8799) fenced <04694> cities
<05892> in Judah <03063>: for the land <0776> had rest <08252>
(8804), and he had no war <04421> in those years < 08141>;
because the LORD <03068> had given him rest <05117> (8689).

2Ch 14:07 Therefore he said <0559> (8799) unto Judah < 03063>,
Let us build <01129> (8799) these cities <05892>, and make about
<05437> (8686) them walls <02346>, and towers < 04026>, gates
<01817>, and bars <01280>, while the land <0776> is yet before
<06440> us; because we have sought <01875> (8804) the LORD
<03068> our God <0430>, we have sought <01875> (8804) him, and
he hath given us rest <05117> (8799) on every side < 05439>. So
they built <01129> (8799) and prospered <06743> (8686).

2Ch 14:08 And Asa <0609> had an army <02428> of men that bare
<05375> (8802) targets <06793> and spears < 07420>, out of Judah
<03063> three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>; and out
of Benjamin <01144>, that bare <05375> (8802) shields <04043>
and drew <01869> (8802) bows <07198>, two hundred < 03967> and
fourscore <08084> thousand <0505>: all these were mighty men
<01368> of valour <02428>.

2Ch 14:09 ¶ And there came out <03318> (8799) against them Zerah
<02226> the Ethiopian <03569> with an host < 02428> of a thousand
<0505> thousand <0505>, and three <07969> hundred <03967>
chariots <04818>; and came <0935> (8799) unto Mareshah <04762>.

2Ch 14:10 Then Asa <0609> went out <03318> (8799) against
<06440> him, and they set the battle <04421> in array <06186>
(8799) in the valley <01516> of Zephathah <06859> at Mareshah
<04762>.

2Ch 14:11 And Asa <0609> cried <07121> (8799) unto the LORD
<03068> his God <0430>, and said <0559> (8799), LORD <03068>, it
is nothing with thee to help <05826> (8800), whether < 0996> with
many <07227>, or with them that have no power <03581>: help
<05826> (8798) us, O LORD <03068> our God <0430> ; for we rest
<08172> (8738) on thee, and in thy name <08034> we go <0935>
(8804) against this multitude <01995>. O LORD <03068>, thou art
our God <0430>; let not man <0582> prevail < 06113> (8799)
against thee.

2Ch 14:12 So the LORD <03068> smote <05062> (8799) the
Ethiopians <03569> before <06440> Asa <0609>, and before <06440>
Judah <03063>; and the Ethiopians <03569> fled < 05127> (8799).

2Ch 14:13 And Asa <0609> and the people <05971> that were with
him pursued <07291> (8799) them unto Gerar <01642>: and the
Ethiopians <03569> were overthrown <05307> (8799), that they
could not recover <04241> themselves; for they were destroyed
<07665> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and before
<06440> his host <04264>; and they carried away < 05375> (8799)
very <03966> much <07235> (8687) spoil <07998>.

2Ch 14:14 And they smote <05221> (8686) all the cities < 05892>
round about <05439> Gerar <01642>; for the fear < 06343> of the
LORD <03068> came upon them: and they spoiled <0962> (8799) all
the cities <05892>; for there was exceeding much < 07227> spoil
<0961> in them.

2Ch 14:15 They smote <05221> (8689) also the tents < 0168> of
cattle <04735>, and carried away <07617> (8799) sheep <06629>
and camels <01581> in abundance <07230>, and returned <07725>
(8799) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 15:01 ¶ And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came upon
Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Oded <05752>:

2Ch 15:02 And he went out <03318> (8799) to meet < 06440> Asa
<0609>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Hear < 08085> (8798) ye
me, Asa <0609>, and all Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>; The
LORD <03068> is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek
<01875> (8799) him, he will be found <04672> (8735) of you; but
if ye forsake <05800> (8799) him, he will forsake < 05800> (8799)
you.

2Ch 15:03 Now for a long <07227> season <03117> Israel <03478>
hath been without <03808> the true <0571> God < 0430>, and
without a teaching <03384> (8688) priest <03548>, and without
law <08451>.

2Ch 15:04 But when they in their trouble <06862> did turn
<07725> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel
<03478>, and sought <01245> (8762) him, he was found <04672>
(8735) of them.

2Ch 15:05 And in those times <06256> there was no peace <07965>
to him that went out <03318> (8802), nor to him that came in
<0935> (8802), but great <07227> vexations < 04103> were upon all
the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the countries <0776> .

2Ch 15:06 And nation <01471> was destroyed <03807> (8795) of
nation <01471>, and city <05892> of city <05892> : for God <0430>
did vex <02000> (8804) them with all adversity <06869> .

2Ch 15:07 Be ye strong <02388> (8798) therefore, and let not
your hands <03027> be weak <07503> (8799): for your work <06468>
shall be <03426> rewarded <07939>.

2Ch 15:08 ¶ And when Asa <0609> heard <08085> (8800) these words
<01697>, and the prophecy <05016> of Oded < 05752> the prophet
<05030>, he took courage <02388> (8694), and put away <05674>
(8686) the abominable idols <08251> out of all the land < 0776>
of Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>, and out of the cities
<05892> which he had taken <03920> (8804) from mount <02022>
Ephraim <0669>, and renewed <02318> (8762) the altar <04196> of
the LORD <03068>, that was before <06440> the porch <0197> of
the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 15:09 And he gathered <06908> (8799) all Judah < 03063> and
Benjamin <01144>, and the strangers <01481> (8802) with them out
of Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519>, and out of Simeon
<08095>: for they fell <05307> (8804) to him out of Israel
<03478> in abundance <07230>, when they saw < 07200> (8800) that
the LORD <03068> his God <0430> was with him.

2Ch 15:10 So they gathered themselves together <06908> (8735)
at Jerusalem <03389> in the third <07992> month < 02320>, in the
fifteenth <02568> <06240> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of
Asa <0609>.

2Ch 15:11 And they offered <02076> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>
the same time <03117>, of the spoil <07998> which they had
brought <0935> (8689), seven <07651> hundred < 03967> oxen
<01241> and seven <07651> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>.

2Ch 15:12 And they entered <0935> (8799) into a covenant
<01285> to seek <01875> (8800) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of
their fathers <01> with all their heart <03824> and with all
their soul <05315>;

2Ch 15:13 That whosoever would not seek <01875> (8799) the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> should be put to death
<04191> (8714), whether <04480> small <06996> or great <01419>,
whether man <0376> or woman <0802>.

2Ch 15:14 And they sware <07650> (8735) unto the LORD < 03068>
with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, and with shouting <08643>,
and with trumpets <02689>, and with cornets <07782>.

2Ch 15:15 And all Judah <03063> rejoiced <08055> (8799) at the
oath <07621>: for they had sworn <07650> (8738) with all their
heart <03824>, and sought <01245> (8765) him with their whole
desire <07522>; and he was found <04672> (8735) of them: and the
LORD <03068> gave them rest <05117> (8799) round about <05439>.

2Ch 15:16 And also concerning Maachah <04601> the mother <0517>
of Asa <0609> the king <04428>, he removed < 05493> (8689) her
from being queen <01377>, because she had made <06213> (8804) an
idol <04656> in a grove <0842>: and Asa <0609> cut down <03772>
(8799) her idol <04656>, and stamped <01854> (8686) it, and
burnt <08313> (8799) it at the brook <05158> Kidron <06939>.

2Ch 15:17 But the high places <01116> were not taken away
<05493> (8804) out of Israel <03478>: nevertheless the heart
<03824> of Asa <0609> was perfect <08003> all his days <03117>.

2Ch 15:18 And he brought <0935> (8686) into the house < 01004>
of God <0430> the things that his father <01> had dedicated
<06944>, and that he himself had dedicated <06944>, silver
<03701>, and gold <02091>, and vessels <03627>.

2Ch 15:19 And there was no more war <04421> unto the five
<02568> and thirtieth <07970> year <08141> of the reign <04438>
of Asa <0609>.

2Ch 16:01 ¶ In the six <08337> and thirtieth <07970> year
<08141> of the reign <04438> of Asa <0609> Baasha <01201> king
<04428> of Israel <03478> came up <05927> (8804) against Judah
<03063>, and built <01129> (8799) Ramah <07414>, to the intent
that <01115> he might let <05414> (8800) none go out <03318>
(8802) or come in <0935> (8802) to Asa <0609> king <04428> of
Judah <03063>.

2Ch 16:02 Then Asa <0609> brought out <03318> (8686) silver
<03701> and gold <02091> out of the treasures < 0214> of the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068> and of the king’s <04428>
house <01004>, and sent <07971> (8799) to Benhadad <01130> king
<04428> of Syria <0758>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) at Damascus
<01834>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 16:03 There is a league <01285> between me and thee, as
there was between my father <01> and thy father <01>: behold, I
have sent <07971> (8804) thee silver <03701> and gold <02091>;
go <03212> (8798), break <06565> (8685) thy league <01285> with
Baasha <01201> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, that he may
depart <05927> (8799) from me.

2Ch 16:04 And Benhadad <01130> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto
king <04428> Asa <0609>, and sent <07971> (8799) the captains
<08269> of his armies <02428> against the cities < 05892> of
Israel <03478>; and they smote <05221> (8686) Ijon <05859>, and
Dan <01835>, and Abelmaim <066>, and all the store <04543>
cities <05892> of Naphtali <05321>.

2Ch 16:05 And it came to pass, when Baasha <01201> heard
<08085> (8800) it, that he left off <02308> (8799) building
<01129> (8800) of Ramah <07414>, and let his work < 04399> cease
<07673> (8686).

2Ch 16:06 Then Asa <0609> the king <04428> took < 03947> (8804)
all Judah <03063>; and they carried away <05375> (8799) the
stones <068> of Ramah <07414>, and the timber < 06086> thereof,
wherewith Baasha <01201> was building <01129> (8804); and he
built <01129> (8799) therewith Geba <01387> and Mizpah <04709>.

2Ch 16:07 ¶ And at that time <06256> Hanani <02607> the seer
<07200> (8802) came <0935> (8804) to Asa <0609> king <04428> of
Judah <03063>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Because thou
hast relied <08172> (8736) on the king <04428> of Syria <0758>,
and not relied <08172> (8738) on the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>,
therefore is the host <02428> of the king <04428> of Syria
<0758> escaped <04422> (8738) out of thine hand < 03027>.

2Ch 16:08 Were not the Ethiopians <03569> and the Lubims
<03864> a huge <07230> host <02428>, with very <03966> many
<07235> (8687) chariots <07393> and horsemen < 06571>? yet,
because thou didst rely <08172> (8736) on the LORD < 03068>, he
delivered <05414> (8804) them into thine hand <03027>.

2Ch 16:09 For the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068> run to and
fro <07751> (8789) throughout the whole earth <0776>, to shew
himself strong <02388> (8692) in the behalf of them whose heart
<03824> is perfect <08003> toward him. Herein thou hast done
foolishly <05528> (8738): therefore from henceforth < 06258> thou
shalt have <03426> wars <04421>.

2Ch 16:10 Then Asa <0609> was wroth <03707> (8799) with the
seer <07200> (8802), and put <05414> (8799) him in a prison
<04115> house <01004>; for he was in a rage < 02197> with him
because of this thing. And Asa <0609> oppressed < 07533> (8762)
some of the people <05971> the same time <06256>.

2Ch 16:11 And, behold, the acts <01697> of Asa <0609> , first
<07223> and last <0314>, lo, they are written < 03789> (8803) in
the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Judah < 03063> and
Israel <03478>.

2Ch 16:12 And Asa <0609> in the thirty <07970> and ninth
<08672> year <08141> of his reign <04438> was diseased <02456>
(8799) in his feet <07272>, until his disease <02483> was
exceeding <04605> great: yet in his disease <02483> he sought
<01875> (8804) not to the LORD <03068>, but to the physicians
<07495> (8802).

2Ch 16:13 And Asa <0609> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers
<01>, and died <04191> (8799) in the one <0259> and fortieth
<0705> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800).

2Ch 16:14 And they buried <06912> (8799) him in his own
sepulchres <06913>, which he had made <03738> (8804) for himself
in the city <05892> of David <01732>, and laid < 07901> (8686)
him in the bed <04904> which was filled <04390> (8765) with
sweet odours <01314> and divers kinds <02177> of spices prepared
<07543> (8794) by the apothecaries <04842>‘ art < 04639>: and
they made <08313> (8799) a very <03966> great < 01419> burning
<08316> for him.

2Ch 17:01 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> his son <01121> reigned
<04427> (8799) in his stead, and strengthened <02388> (8691)
himself against Israel <03478>.

2Ch 17:02 And he placed <05414> (8799) forces <02428> in all
the fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah < 03063>, and
set <05414> (8799) garrisons <05333> in the land < 0776> of Judah
<03063>, and in the cities <05892> of Ephraim < 0669>, which Asa
<0609> his father <01> had taken <03920> (8804).

2Ch 17:03 And the LORD <03068> was with Jehoshaphat < 03092>,
because he walked <01980> (8804) in the first <07223> ways
<01870> of his father <01> David <01732>, and sought <01875>
(8804) not unto Baalim <01168>;

2Ch 17:04 But sought <01875> (8804) to the LORD God < 0430> of
his father <01>, and walked <01980> (8804) in his commandments
<04687>, and not after the doings <04639> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 17:05 Therefore the LORD <03068> stablished < 03559> (8686)
the kingdom <04467> in his hand <03027>; and all Judah <03063>
brought <05414> (8799) to Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>;
and he had riches <06239> and honour <03519> in abundance
<07230>.

2Ch 17:06 And his heart <03820> was lifted up <01361> (8799) in
the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068>: moreover he took away
<05493> (8689) the high places <01116> and groves < 0842> out of
Judah <03063>.

2Ch 17:07 Also in the third <07969> year <08141> of his reign
<04427> (8800) he sent <07971> (8804) to his princes <08269>,
even to Benhail <01134>, and to Obadiah <05662>, and to
Zechariah <02148>, and to Nethaneel <05417>, and to Michaiah
<04322>, to teach <03925> (8763) in the cities < 05892> of Judah
<03063>.

2Ch 17:08 And with them he sent Levites <03881>, even Shemaiah
<08098>, and Nethaniah <05418>, and Zebadiah < 02069>, and Asahel
<06214>, and Shemiramoth <08070>, and Jehonathan < 03083>, and
Adonijah <0138>, and Tobijah <02900>, and Tobadonijah <02899>,
Levites <03881>; and with them Elishama <0476> and Jehoram
<03088>, priests <03548>.

2Ch 17:09 And they taught <03925> (8762) in Judah < 03063>, and
had the book <05612> of the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> with
them, and went about <05437> (8799) throughout all the cities
<05892> of Judah <03063>, and taught <03925> (8762) the people
<05971>.

2Ch 17:10 ¶ And the fear <06343> of the LORD <03068> fell upon
all the kingdoms <04467> of the lands <0776> that were round
about <05439> Judah <03063>, so that they made no war <03898>
(8738) against Jehoshaphat <03092>.

2Ch 17:11 Also some of the Philistines <06430> brought < 0935>
(8688) Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>, and tribute <04853>
silver <03701>; and the Arabians <06163> brought < 0935> (8688)
him flocks <06629>, seven <07651> thousand < 0505> and seven
<07651> hundred <03967> rams <0352>, and seven <07651> thousand
<0505> and seven <07651> hundred <03967> he goats <08495>.

2Ch 17:12 And Jehoshaphat <03092> waxed <01980> (8802) great
<01432> exceedingly <04605>; and he built < 01129> (8799) in
Judah <03063> castles <01003>, and cities < 05892> of store
<04543>.

2Ch 17:13 And he had much <07227> business <04399> in the
cities <05892> of Judah <03063>: and the men < 0582> of war
<04421>, mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>, were in Jerusalem
<03389>.

2Ch 17:14 And these are the numbers <06486> of them according
to the house <01004> of their fathers <01>: Of Judah <03063>,
the captains <08269> of thousands <0505>; Adnah < 05734> the
chief <08269>, and with him mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>
three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 17:15 And next <03027> to him was Jehohanan < 03076> the
captain <08269>, and with him two hundred <03967> and fourscore
<08084> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 17:16 And next <03027> him was Amasiah <06007> the son
<01121> of Zichri <02147>, who willingly offered < 05068> (8693)
himself unto the LORD <03068>; and with him two hundred < 03967>
thousand <0505> mighty men <01368> of valour < 02428>.

2Ch 17:17 And of Benjamin <01144>; Eliada <0450> a mighty man
<01368> of valour <02428>, and with him armed men < 05401> (8802)
with bow <07198> and shield <04043> two hundred < 03967> thousand
<0505>.

2Ch 17:18 And next <03027> him was Jehozabad <03075>, and with
him an hundred <03967> and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505>
ready prepared <02502> (8803) for the war <06635>.

2Ch 17:19 These waited <08334> (8764) on the king < 04428>,
beside those whom the king <04428> put <05414> (8804) in the
fenced <04013> cities <05892> throughout all Judah <03063>.

2Ch 18:01 ¶ Now Jehoshaphat <03092> had riches <06239> and
honour <03519> in abundance <07230>, and joined affinity <02859>
(8691) with Ahab <0256>.

2Ch 18:02 And after <07093> certain years <08141> he went down
<03381> (8799) to Ahab <0256> to Samaria <08111> . And Ahab
<0256> killed <02076> (8799) sheep <06629> and oxen <01241> for
him in abundance <07230>, and for the people <05971> that he had
with him, and persuaded <05496> (8686) him to go up < 05927>
(8800) with him to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.

2Ch 18:03 And Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel < 03478> said
<0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092> king < 04428> of Judah
<03063>, Wilt thou go <03212> (8799) with me to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>? And he answered <0559> (8799) him, I am as thou
art, and my people <05971> as thy people <05971>; and we will be
with thee in the war <04421>.

2Ch 18:04 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799) unto the
king <04428> of Israel <03478>, Enquire <01875> (8798), I pray
thee, at the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to day <03117>.

2Ch 18:05 Therefore the king <04428> of Israel < 03478> gathered
together <06908> (8799) of prophets <05030> four < 0702> hundred
<03967> men <0376>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Shall we
go <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> < 01568> to battle
<04421>, or shall I forbear <02308> (8799)? And they said <0559>
(8799), Go up <05927> (8798); for God <0430> will deliver
<05414> (8799) it into the king’s <04428> hand < 03027>.

2Ch 18:06 But Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Is there
not here a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068> besides, that we
might enquire <01875> (8799) of him?

2Ch 18:07 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>
(8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, There is yet one < 0259> man
<0376>, by whom we may enquire <01875> (8800) of the LORD
<03068>: but I hate <08130> (8804) him; for he never prophesied
<05012> (8693) good <02896> unto me, but always < 03117> evil
<07451>: the same is Micaiah <04321> the son < 01121> of Imla
<03229>. And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Let not the
king <04428> say <0559> (8799) so.

2Ch 18:08 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> called <07121>
(8799) for one <0259> of his officers <05631>, and said <0559>
(8799), Fetch quickly <04116> (8761) Micaiah <04319> the son
<01121> of Imla <03229>.

2Ch 18:09 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and
Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Judah < 03063> sat <03427>
(8802) either <0376> of them on his throne <03678>, clothed
<03847> (8794) in their robes <0899>, and they sat <03427>
(8802) in a void place <01637> at the entering in < 06607> of the
gate <08179> of Samaria <08111>; and all the prophets <05030>
prophesied <05012> (8693) before <06440> them.

2Ch 18:10 And Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah
<03668> had made <06213> (8799) him horns < 07161> of iron
<01270>, and said <0559> (8799), Thus saith < 0559> (8804) the
LORD <03068>, With these thou shalt push <05055> (8762) Syria
<0758> until they be consumed <03615> (8763).

2Ch 18:11 And all the prophets <05030> prophesied < 05012>
(8737) so, saying <0559> (8800), Go up <05927> (8798) to
Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>, and prosper < 06743> (8685): for
the LORD <03068> shall deliver <05414> (8804) it into the hand
<03027> of the king <04428>.

2Ch 18:12 And the messenger <04397> that went <01980> (8804) to
call <07121> (8800) Micaiah <04321> spake < 01696> (8765) to him,
saying <0559> (8800), Behold, the words <01697> of the prophets
<05030> declare good <02896> to the king <04428> with one <0259>
assent <06310>; let thy word <01697> therefore, I pray thee, be
like one <0259> of theirs, and speak <01696> (8765) thou good
<02896>.

2Ch 18:13 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), As the LORD
<03068> liveth <02416>, even what my God <0430> saith <0559>
(8799), that will I speak <01696> (8762).

2Ch 18:14 And when he was come <0935> (8799) to the king
<04428>, the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Micaiah
<04318>, shall we go <03212> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433>
<01568> to battle <04421>, or shall I forbear < 02308> (8799)?
And he said <0559> (8799), Go ye up <05927> (8798), and prosper
<06743> (8685), and they shall be delivered <05414> (8735) into
your hand <03027>.

2Ch 18:15 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) to him, How
many times <06471> shall I adjure <07650> (8688) thee that thou
say <01696> (8762) nothing but the truth <0571> to me in the
name <08034> of the LORD <03068>?

2Ch 18:16 Then he said <0559> (8799), I did see < 07200> (8804)
all Israel <03478> scattered <06327> (8737) upon the mountains
<02022>, as sheep <06629> that have no shepherd < 07462> (8802):
and the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), These have no master
<0113>; let them return <07725> (8799) therefore every man
<0376> to his house <01004> in peace <07965>.

2Ch 18:17 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>
(8799) to Jehoshaphat <03092>, Did I not tell <0559> (8804) thee
that he would not prophesy <05012> (8691) good <02896> unto me,
but evil <07451>?

2Ch 18:18 Again he said <0559> (8799), Therefore hear < 08085>
(8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; I saw <07200>
(8804) the LORD <03068> sitting <03427> (8802) upon his throne
<03678>, and all the host <06635> of heaven < 08064> standing
<05975> (8802) on his right hand <03225> and on his left <08040>.

2Ch 18:19 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Who shall
entice <06601> (8762) Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478>,
that he may go up <05927> (8799) and fall <05307> (8799) at
Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>? And one spake < 0559> (8799) saying
<0559> (8802) after this manner <03602>, and another saying
<0559> (8802) after that manner <03602>.

2Ch 18:20 Then there came out <03318> (8799) a spirit < 07307>,
and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the LORD < 03068>, and
said <0559> (8799), I will entice <06601> (8762) him. And the
LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Wherewith?

2Ch 18:21 And he said <0559> (8799), I will go out < 03318>
(8799), and be a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth
<06310> of all his prophets <05030>. And the LORD said <0559>
(8799), Thou shalt entice <06601> (8762) him, and thou shalt
also prevail <03201> (8799): go out <03318> (8798), and do
<06213> (8798) even so.

2Ch 18:22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD <03068> hath put
<05414> (8804) a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth
<06310> of these thy prophets <05030>, and the LORD <03068> hath
spoken <01696> (8765) evil <07451> against thee.

2Ch 18:23 Then Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah
<03668> came near <05066> (8799), and smote < 05221> (8686)
Micaiah <04321> upon the cheek <03895>, and said < 0559> (8799),
Which <0335> way <01870> went <05674> (8804) the Spirit <07307>
of the LORD <03068> from me to speak <01696> (8763) unto thee?

2Ch 18:24 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), Behold, thou
shalt see <07200> (8802) on that day <03117> when thou shalt go
<0935> (8799) into an inner <02315> chamber < 02315> to hide
<02244> (8736) thyself.

2Ch 18:25 Then the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>
(8799), Take <03947> (8798) ye Micaiah <04321>, and carry him
back <07725> (8685) to Amon <0526> the governor < 08269> of the
city <05892>, and to Joash <03101> the king’s < 04428> son
<01121>;

2Ch 18:26 And say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the
king <04428>, Put <07760> (8798) this fellow in the prison
<01004> <03608>, and feed <0398> (8685) him with bread <03899>
of affliction <03906> and with water <04325> of affliction
<03906>, until I return <07725> (8800) in peace < 07965>.

2Ch 18:27 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), If thou
certainly <07725> (8800) return <07725> (8799) in peace <07965>,
then hath not the LORD <03068> spoken <01696> (8765) by me. And
he said <0559> (8799), Hearken <08085> (8798), all ye people
<05971>.

2Ch 18:28 ¶ So the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and
Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah < 03063> went up
<05927> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.

2Ch 18:29 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559>
(8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, I will disguise < 02664> (8692)
myself, and will go <0935> (8800) to the battle < 04421>; but put
<03847> (8798) thou on thy robes <0899>. So the king <04428> of
Israel <03478> disguised <02664> (8691) himself; and they went
<0935> (8799) to the battle <04421>.

2Ch 18:30 Now the king <04428> of Syria <0758> had commanded
<06680> (8765) the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393> that
were with him, saying <0559> (8800), Fight <03898> (8735) ye not
with small <06996> or great <01419>, save only with the king
<04428> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains <08269> of the
chariots <07393> saw <07200> (8800) Jehoshaphat < 03092>, that
they said <0559> (8804), It is the king <04428> of Israel
<03478>. Therefore they compassed about <05437> (8799) him to
fight <03898> (8736): but Jehoshaphat <03092> cried out <02199>
(8799), and the LORD <03068> helped <05826> (8804) him; and God
<0430> moved <05496> (8686) them to depart from him.

2Ch 18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains < 08269>
of the chariots <07393> perceived <07200> (8800) that it was not
the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, they turned back again
<07725> (8799) from pursuing <0310> him.

2Ch 18:33 And a certain man drew <04900> (8804) a bow < 07198>
at a venture <08537>, and smote <05221> (8686) the king <04428>
of Israel <03478> between the joints <01694> of the harness
<08302>: therefore he said <0559> (8799) to his chariot <07395>
man <0376>, Turn <02015> (8798) thine hand < 03027>, that thou
mayest carry me out <03318> (8689) of the host <04264> ; for I am
wounded <02470> (8717).

2Ch 18:34 And the battle <04421> increased <05927> (8799) that
day <03117>: howbeit the king <04428> of Israel < 03478> stayed
himself up <05975> (8689) in his chariot <04818> against <05227>
the Syrians <0758> until the even <06153>: and about the time
<06256> of the sun <08121> going down <0935> (8800) he died
<04191> (8799).

2Ch 19:01 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah
<03063> returned <07725> (8799) to his house < 01004> in peace
<07965> to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 19:02 And Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Hanani <02607>
the seer <02374> went out <03318> (8799) to meet < 06440> him,
and said <0559> (8799) to king <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092>,
Shouldest thou help <05826> (8800) the ungodly <07563> , and love
<0157> (8799) them that hate <08130> (8802) the LORD <03068>?
therefore <02063> is wrath <07110> upon thee from before <06440>
the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 19:03 Nevertheless <061> there are good <02896> things
<01697> found <04672> (8738) in thee, in that thou hast taken
away <01197> (8765) the groves <0842> out of the land <0776>,
and hast prepared <03559> (8689) thine heart <03824> to seek
<01875> (8800) God <0430>.

2Ch 19:04 And Jehoshaphat <03092> dwelt <03427> (8799) at
Jerusalem <03389>: and he went out <03318> (8799) again <07725>
(8799) through the people <05971> from Beersheba < 0884> to mount
<02022> Ephraim <0669>, and brought them back < 07725> (8686)
unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers < 01>.

2Ch 19:05 ¶ And he set <05975> (8686) judges <08199> (8802) in
the land <0776> throughout all the fenced <01219> (8803) cities
<05892> of Judah <03063>, city <05892> by city <05892>,

2Ch 19:06 And said <0559> (8799) to the judges < 08199> (8802),
Take heed <07200> (8798) what ye do <06213> (8802): for ye judge
<08199> (8799) not for man <0120>, but for the LORD <03068>, who
is with you in the judgment <01697> <04941>.

2Ch 19:07 Wherefore now let the fear <06343> of the LORD
<03068> be upon you; take heed <08104> (8798) and do <06213>
(8798) it: for there is no iniquity <05766> with the LORD
<03068> our God <0430>, nor respect <04856> of persons <06440>,
nor taking <04727> of gifts <07810>.

2Ch 19:08 Moreover in Jerusalem <03389> did Jehoshaphat <03092>
set <05975> (8689) of the Levites <03881>, and of the priests
<03548>, and of the chief <07218> of the fathers < 01> of Israel
<03478>, for the judgment <04941> of the LORD < 03068>, and for
controversies <07379>, when they returned <07725> (8799) to
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 19:09 And he charged <06680> (8762) them, saying < 0559>
(8800), Thus shall ye do <06213> (8799) in the fear < 03374> of
the LORD <03068>, faithfully <0530>, and with a perfect <08003>
heart <03824>.

2Ch 19:10 And what cause <07379> soever shall come < 0935>
(8799) to you of your brethren <0251> that dwell < 03427> (8802)
in their cities <05892>, between blood <01818> and blood <01818>,
between law <08451> and commandment <04687>, statutes <02706>
and judgments <04941>, ye shall even warn <02094> (8689) them
that they trespass <0816> (8799) not against the LORD < 03068>,
and so wrath <07110> come upon you, and upon your brethren
<0251>: this <03541> do <06213> (8799), and ye shall not
trespass <0816> (8799).

2Ch 19:11 And, behold, Amariah <0568> the chief < 07218> priest
<03548> is over you in all matters <01697> of the LORD <03068>;
and Zebadiah <02069> the son <01121> of Ishmael < 03458>, the
ruler <05057> of the house <01004> of Judah < 03063>, for all the
king’s <04428> matters <01697>: also the Levites < 03881> shall
be officers <07860> (8802) before <06440> you. Deal <06213>
(8798) courageously <02388> (8798), and the LORD < 03068> shall
be with the good <02896>.

2Ch 20:01 ¶ It came to pass after this <0310> also, that the
children <01121> of Moab <04124>, and the children <01121> of
Ammon <05983>, and with them other beside the Ammonites < 05984>,
came <0935> (8804) against Jehoshaphat <03092> to battle <04421>.

2Ch 20:02 Then there came <0935> (8799) some that told < 05046>
(8686) Jehoshaphat <03092>, saying <0559> (8800), There cometh
<0935> (8802) a great <07227> multitude <01995> against thee
from beyond <05676> the sea <03220> on this side Syria <0758>;
and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar <02688>, which is Engedi
<05872>.

2Ch 20:03 And Jehoshaphat <03092> feared <03372> (8799), and
set <05414> (8799) himself <06440> to seek < 01875> (8800) the
LORD <03068>, and proclaimed <07121> (8799) a fast <06685>
throughout <05921> all Judah <03063>.

2Ch 20:04 And Judah <03063> gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735), to ask <01245> (8763) help of the LORD <03068>:
even out of all the cities <05892> of Judah <03063> they came
<0935> (8804) to seek <01245> (8763) the LORD < 03068>.

2Ch 20:05 And Jehoshaphat <03092> stood <05975> (8799) in the
congregation <06951> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, in
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, before < 06440> the new
<02319> court <02691>,

2Ch 20:06 And said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> God <0430> of
our fathers <01>, art not thou God <0430> in heaven <08064>? and
rulest <04910> (8802) not thou over all the kingdoms < 04467> of
the heathen <01471>? and in thine hand <03027> is there not
power <03581> and might <01369>, so that none is able to
withstand <03320> (8692) thee?

2Ch 20:07 Art not thou our God <0430>, who didst drive out
<03423> (8689) the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of this land
<0776> before <06440> thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, and
gavest <05414> (8799) it to the seed <02233> of Abraham <085>
thy friend <0157> (8802) for ever <05769>?

2Ch 20:08 And they dwelt <03427> (8799) therein, and have built
<01129> (8799) thee a sanctuary <04720> therein for thy name
<08034>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 20:09 If, when evil <07451> cometh <0935> (8799) upon us,
as the sword <02719>, judgment <08196>, or pestilence <01698>,
or famine <07458>, we stand <05975> (8799) before < 06440> this
house <01004>, and in thy presence <06440>, (for thy name
<08034> is in this house <01004>,) and cry < 02199> (8799) unto
thee in our affliction <06869>, then thou wilt hear < 08085>
(8799) and help <03467> (8686).

2Ch 20:10 And now, behold, the children <01121> of Ammon
<05983> and Moab <04124> and mount <02022> Seir <08165>, whom
thou wouldest not let <05414> (8804) Israel <03478> invade
<0935> (8800), when they came out <0935> (8800) of the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714>, but they turned <05493> (8804) from
them, and destroyed <08045> (8689) them not;

2Ch 20:11 Behold, I say, how they reward <01580> (8802) us, to
come <0935> (8800) to cast us out <01644> (8763) of thy
possession <03425>, which thou hast given us to inherit < 03423>
(8689).

2Ch 20:12 O our God <0430>, wilt thou not judge < 08199> (8799)
them? for we have no might <03581> against <06440> this great
<07227> company <01995> that cometh <0935> (8802) against us;
neither know <03045> (8799) we <0587> what to do < 06213> (8799):
but our eyes <05869> are upon thee.

2Ch 20:13 And all Judah <03063> stood <05975> (8802) before
<06440> the LORD <03068>, with <01571> their little ones <02945>,
their wives <0802>, and their children <01121>.

2Ch 20:14 ¶ Then upon Jahaziel <03166> the son <01121> of
Zechariah <02148>, the son <01121> of Benaiah < 01141>, the son
<01121> of Jeiel <03273>, the son <01121> of Mattaniah <04983>,
a Levite <03881> of the sons <01121> of Asaph < 0623>, came the
Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> in the midst < 08432> of the
congregation <06951>;

2Ch 20:15 And he said <0559> (8799), Hearken <07181> (8685) ye,
all Judah <03063>, and ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of
Jerusalem <03389>, and thou king <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092>,
Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> unto you, Be not
afraid <03372> (8799) nor dismayed <02865> (8735) by reason
<06440> of this great <07227> multitude <01995>; for the battle
<04421> is not yours, but God’s <0430>.

2Ch 20:16 To morrow <04279> go ye down <03381> (8798) against
them: behold, they come up <05927> (8802) by the cliff < 04608>
of Ziz <06732>; and ye shall find <04672> (8804) them at the end
<05490> of the brook <05158>, before <06440> the wilderness
<04057> of Jeruel <03385>.

2Ch 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight <03898> (8736) in this
<02063> battle: set <03320> (8690) yourselves, stand <05975>
(8798) ye still, and see <07200> (8798) the salvation < 03444> of
the LORD <03068> with you, O Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>:
fear <03372> (8799) not, nor be dismayed <02865> (8735); to
morrow <04279> go out <03318> (8798) against < 06440> them: for
the LORD <03068> will be with you.

2Ch 20:18 And Jehoshaphat <03092> bowed <06915> (8799) his head
with his face <0639> to the ground <0776>: and all Judah <03063>
and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389> fell
<05307> (8804) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, worshipping
<07812> (8692) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:19 And the Levites <03881>, of the children < 01121> of
the Kohathites <06956>, and of the children <01121> of the
Korhites <07145>, stood up <06965> (8799) to praise <01984>
(8763) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel < 03478> with a loud
<01419> voice <06963> on high <04605>.

2Ch 20:20 ¶ And they rose early <07925> (8686) in the morning
<01242>, and went forth <03318> (8799) into the wilderness
<04057> of Tekoa <08620>: and as they went forth < 03318> (8800),
Jehoshaphat <03092> stood <05975> (8804) and said < 0559> (8799),
Hear <08085> (8798) me, O Judah <03063>, and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>; Believe < 0539> (8685) in
the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, so shall ye be established
<0539> (8735); believe <0539> (8685) his prophets < 05030>, so
shall ye prosper <06743> (8685).

2Ch 20:21 And when he had consulted <03289> (8735) with the
people <05971>, he appointed <05975> (8686) singers <07891>
(8789) unto the LORD <03068>, and that should praise < 01984>
(8764) the beauty <01927> of holiness <06944>, as they went out
<03318> (8800) before <06440> the army <02502> (8803), and to
say <0559> (8802), Praise <03034> (8685) the LORD < 03068>; for
his mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>.

2Ch 20:22 And when <06256> they began <02490> (8689) to sing
<07440> and to praise <08416>, the LORD <03068> set <05414>
(8804) ambushments <0693> (8764) against the children < 01121> of
Ammon <05983>, Moab <04124>, and mount <02022> Seir <08165>,
which were come <0935> (8802) against Judah <03063>; and they
were smitten <05062> (8735).

2Ch 20:23 For the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> and Moab
<04124> stood up <05975> (8799) against the inhabitants <03427>
(8802) of mount <02022> Seir <08165>, utterly to slay <02763>
(8687) and destroy <08045> (8687) them: and when they had made
an end <03615> (8763) of the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Seir
<08165>, every one <0376> helped <05826> (8804) to destroy
<04889> another <07453>.

2Ch 20:24 And when Judah <03063> came <0935> (8804) toward the
watch tower <04707> (8677) <04708> in the wilderness <04057>,
they looked <06437> (8799) unto the multitude <01995>, and,
behold, they were dead bodies <06297> fallen <05307> (8802) to
the earth <0776>, and none escaped <06413>.

2Ch 20:25 And when Jehoshaphat <03092> and his people < 05971>
came <0935> (8799) to take away <0962> (8800) the spoil <07998>
of them, they found <04672> (8799) among them in abundance
<07230> both riches <07399> with the dead bodies < 06297>, and
precious <02532> jewels <03627>, which they stripped off <05337>
(8762) for themselves, more than <0369> they could carry away
<04853>: and they were three <07969> days < 03117> in gathering
<0962> (8802) of the spoil <07998>, it was so much <07227>.

2Ch 20:26 And on the fourth <07243> day <03117> they assembled
<06950> (8738) themselves in the valley <06010> of Berachah
<01294>; for there they blessed <01288> (8765) the LORD <03068>:
therefore the name <08034> of the same place <04725> was called
<07121> (8804), The valley <06010> of Berachah < 01294>, unto
this day <03117>.

2Ch 20:27 Then they returned <07725> (8799), every man < 0376>
of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, and Jehoshaphat <03092>
in the forefront <07218> of them, to go again <07725> (8800) to
Jerusalem <03389> with joy <08057>; for the LORD < 03068> had
made them to rejoice <08055> (8765) over their enemies < 0341>
(8802).

2Ch 20:28 And they came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem < 03389> with
psalteries <05035> and harps <03658> and trumpets < 02689> unto
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:29 And the fear <06343> of God <0430> was on all the
kingdoms <04467> of those countries <0776>, when they had heard
<08085> (8800) that the LORD <03068> fought < 03898> (8738)
against the enemies <0341> (8802) of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 20:30 So the realm <04438> of Jehoshaphat <03092> was quiet
<08252> (8799): for his God <0430> gave him rest < 05117> (8799)
round about <05439>.

2Ch 20:31 ¶ And Jehoshaphat <03092> reigned <04427> (8799) over
Judah <03063>: he was thirty <07970> and five < 02568> years
<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800), and
he reigned <04427> (8804) twenty <06242> and five < 02568> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother’s < 0517> name
<08034> was Azubah <05806> the daughter <01323> of Shilhi
<07977>.

2Ch 20:32 And he walked <03212> (8799) in the way < 01870> of
Asa <0609> his father <01>, and departed <05493> (8804) not from
it, doing <06213> (8800) that which was right <03477> in the
sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 20:33 Howbeit the high places <01116> were not taken away
<05493> (8804): for as yet the people <05971> had not prepared
<03559> (8689) their hearts <03824> unto the God < 0430> of their
fathers <01>.

2Ch 20:34 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of
Jehoshaphat <03092>, first <07223> and last < 0314>, behold, they
are written <03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Jehu <03058>
the son <01121> of Hanani <02607>, who is mentioned <05927>
(8717) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428> of Israel
<03478>.

2Ch 20:35 And after <0310> this did Jehoshaphat < 03092> king
<04428> of Judah <03063> join <02266> (8694) himself with
Ahaziah <0274> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, who did <06213>
(8800) very wickedly <07561> (8689):

2Ch 20:36 And he joined <02266> (8762) himself with him to make
<06213> (8800) ships <0591> to go <03212> (8800) to Tarshish
<08659>: and they made <06213> (8799) the ships < 0591> in
Eziongeber <06100>.

2Ch 20:37 Then Eliezer <0461> the son <01121> of Dodavah
<01735> of Mareshah <04762> prophesied <05012> (8691) against
Jehoshaphat <03092>, saying <0559> (8800), Because thou hast
joined <02266> (8692) thyself with Ahaziah <0274>, the LORD
<03068> hath broken <06555> (8804) thy works < 04639>. And the
ships <0591> were broken <07665> (8735), that they were not able
<06113> (8804) to go <03212> (8800) to Tarshish < 08659>.

2Ch 21:01 ¶ Now Jehoshaphat <03092> slept <07901> (8799) with
his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers
<01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>. And Jehoram <03088>
his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 21:02 And he had brethren <0251> the sons <01121> of
Jehoshaphat <03092>, Azariah <05838>, and Jehiel < 03171>, and
Zechariah <02148>, and Azariah <05838>, and Michael <04317>, and
Shephatiah <08203>: all these were the sons <01121> of
Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Israel < 03478>.

2Ch 21:03 And their father <01> gave <05414> (8799) them great
<07227> gifts <04979> of silver <03701>, and of gold <02091>,
and of precious things <04030>, with fenced <04694> cities
<05892> in Judah <03063>: but the kingdom < 04467> gave <05414>
(8804) he to Jehoram <03088>; because he was the firstborn
<01060>.

2Ch 21:04 Now when Jehoram <03088> was risen up < 06965> (8799)
to the kingdom <04467> of his father <01>, he strengthened
<02388> (8691) himself, and slew <02026> (8799) all his brethren
<0251> with the sword <02719>, and divers also of the princes
<08269> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 21:05 Jehoram <03088> was thirty <07970> and two <08147>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) eight <08083> years < 08141> in
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 21:06 And he walked <03212> (8799) in the way < 01870> of
the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, like as did < 06213> (8804)
the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>: for he had the daughter
<01323> of Ahab <0256> to wife <0802>: and he wrought <06213>
(8799) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes <05869> of the
LORD <03068>.

2Ch 21:07 Howbeit the LORD <03068> would <014> (8804) not
destroy <07843> (8687) the house <01004> of David < 01732>,
because of the covenant <01285> that he had made < 03772> (8804)
with David <01732>, and as he promised <0559> (8804) to give
<05414> (8800) a light <05216> to him and to his sons <01121>
for ever <03117>.

2Ch 21:08 In his days <03117> the Edomites <0123> revolted
<06586> (8804) from under the dominion <03027> of Judah <03063>,
and made <04427> (8686) themselves a king <04428>.

2Ch 21:09 Then Jehoram <03088> went forth <05674> (8799) with
his princes <08269>, and all his chariots <07393> with him: and
he rose up <06965> (8804) by night <03915>, and smote <05221>
(8686) the Edomites <0123> which compassed him in < 05437> (8802),
and the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393>.

2Ch 21:10 So the Edomites <0123> revolted <06586> (8799) from
under the hand <03027> of Judah <03063> unto this day <03117>.
The same time <06256> also did Libnah <03841> revolt <06586>
(8799) from under his hand <03027>; because he had forsaken
<05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 21:11 Moreover he made <06213> (8804) high places < 01116>
in the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and caused the
inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389> to commit
fornication <02181> (8686), and compelled <05080> (8686) Judah
<03063> thereto.

2Ch 21:12 ¶ And there came <0935> (8799) a writing < 04385> to
him from Elijah <0452> the prophet <05030>, saying <0559> (8800),
Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of David
<01732> thy father <01>, Because thou hast not walked <01980>
(8804) in the ways <01870> of Jehoshaphat <03092> thy father
<01>, nor in the ways <01870> of Asa <0609> king <04428> of
Judah <03063>,

2Ch 21:13 But hast walked <03212> (8799) in the way < 01870> of
the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, and hast made Judah <03063>
and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389> to go a
whoring <02181> (8686), like to the whoredoms <02181> (8687) of
the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>, and also hast slain <02026>
(8804) thy brethren <0251> of thy father’s <01> house <01004>,
which were better <02896> than thyself:

2Ch 21:14 Behold, with a great <01419> plague <04046> will the
LORD <03068> smite <05062> (8802) thy people < 05971>, and thy
children <01121>, and thy wives <0802>, and all thy goods
<07399>:

2Ch 21:15 And thou shalt have great <07227> sickness < 02483> by
disease <04245> of thy bowels <04578>, until thy bowels <04578>
fall out <03318> (8799) by reason of the sickness < 02483> day
<03117> by day <03117>.

2Ch 21:16 Moreover the LORD <03068> stirred up < 05782> (8686)
against Jehoram <03088> the spirit <07307> of the Philistines
<06430>, and of the Arabians <06163>, that were near <05921>
<03027> the Ethiopians <03569>:

2Ch 21:17 And they came up <05927> (8799) into Judah < 03063>,
and brake <01234> (8799) into it, and carried away < 07617>
(8799) all the substance <07399> that was found < 04672> (8737)
in the king’s <04428> house <01004>, and his sons < 01121> also,
and his wives <0802>; so that there was never a son < 01121> left
<07604> (8738) him, save Jehoahaz <03059>, the youngest <06996>
of his sons <01121>.

2Ch 21:18 And after <0310> all this the LORD <03068> smote
<05062> (8804) him in his bowels <04578> with an incurable
<0369> <04832> disease <02483>.

2Ch 21:19 And it came to pass, that in process of time < 03117>,
after <03318> (8800) <06256> the end <07093> of two <08147>
years <03117>, his bowels <04578> fell out < 03318> (8804) by
reason <05973> of his sickness <02483>: so he died <04191>
(8799) of sore <07451> diseases <08463>. And his people <05971>
made <06213> (8804) no burning <08316> for him, like the burning
<08316> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 21:20 Thirty <07970> and two <08147> years old <01121> was
he when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427>
(8804) in Jerusalem <03389> eight <08083> years < 08141>, and
departed <03212> (8799) without being desired <02532>. Howbeit
they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David
<01732>, but not in the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428>.

2Ch 22:01 ¶ And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem
<03389> made <04427> <00> Ahaziah <0274> his youngest <06996>
son <01121> king <04427> (8686) in his stead: for the band of
men <01416> that came <0935> (8802) with the Arabians <06163> to
the camp <04264> had slain <02026> (8804) all the eldest <07223>.
So Ahaziah <0274> the son <01121> of Jehoram < 03088> king
<04428> of Judah <03063> reigned <04427> (8799).

2Ch 22:02 Forty <0705> and two <08147> years < 08141> old
<01121> was Ahaziah <0274> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) one <0259> year < 08141> in
Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name < 08034> also was
Athaliah <06271> the daughter <01323> of Omri < 06018>.

2Ch 22:03 He also walked <01980> (8804) in the ways < 01870> of
the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>: for his mother < 0517> was his
counsellor <03289> (8802) to do wickedly <07561> (8687).

2Ch 22:04 Wherefore he did <06213> (8799) evil < 07451> in the
sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> like the house < 01004> of Ahab
<0256>: for they were his counsellors <03289> (8802) after
<0310> the death <04194> of his father <01> to his destruction
<04889>.

2Ch 22:05 He walked <01980> (8804) also after their counsel
<06098>, and went <03212> (8799) with Jehoram < 03088> the son
<01121> of Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478> to war
<04421> against Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758> at
Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>: and the Syrians < 07421> smote
<05221> (8686) Joram <03141>.

2Ch 22:06 And he returned <07725> (8799) to be healed < 07495>
(8692) in Jezreel <03157> because of the wounds < 04347> which
were given <05221> (8689) him at Ramah <07414>, when he fought
<03898> (8736) with Hazael <02371> king <04428> of Syria <0758>.
And Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Jehoram < 03088> king
<04428> of Judah <03063> went down <03381> (8804) to see <07200>
(8800) Jehoram <03088> the son <01121> of Ahab < 0256> at Jezreel
<03157>, because he was sick <02470> (8802).

2Ch 22:07 And the destruction <08395> of Ahaziah < 0274> was of
God <0430> by coming <0935> (8800) to Joram < 03141>: for when he
was come <0935> (8800), he went out <03318> (8804) with Jehoram
<03088> against Jehu <03058> the son <01121> of Nimshi <05250>,
whom the LORD <03068> had anointed <04886> (8804) to cut off
<03772> (8687) the house <01004> of Ahab <0256>.

2Ch 22:08 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu <03058> was
executing judgment <08199> (8736) upon the house < 01004> of Ahab
<0256>, and found <04672> (8799) the princes < 08269> of Judah
<03063>, and the sons <01121> of the brethren < 0251> of Ahaziah
<0274>, that ministered <08334> (8764) to Ahaziah < 0274>, he
slew <02026> (8799) them.

2Ch 22:09 And he sought <01245> (8762) Ahaziah <0274> : and they
caught <03920> (8799) him, (for he was hid <02244> (8693) in
Samaria <08111>,) and brought <0935> (8686) him to Jehu <03058>:
and when they had slain <04191> (8686) him, they buried < 06912>
(8799) him: Because, said <0559> (8804) they, he is the son
<01121> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, who sought < 01875> (8804) the
LORD <03068> with all his heart <03824>. So the house <01004> of
Ahaziah <0274> had no power <03581> to keep < 06113> (8800) still
the kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 22:10 ¶ But when Athaliah <06271> the mother < 0517> of
Ahaziah <0274> saw <07200> (8804) that her son < 01121> was dead
<04191> (8804), she arose <06965> (8799) and destroyed <01696>
(8762) all the seed <02233> royal <04467> of the house <01004>
of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 22:11 But Jehoshabeath <03090>, the daughter < 01323> of the
king <04428>, took <03947> (8799) Joash <03101> the son <01121>
of Ahaziah <0274>, and stole <01589> (8799) him from among
<08432> the king’s <04428> sons <01121> that were slain <04191>
(8716), and put <05414> (8799) him and his nurse < 03243> (8688)
in a bedchamber <02315> <04296>. So Jehoshabeath < 03090>, the
daughter <01323> of king <04428> Jehoram <03088> , the wife
<0802> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, (for she was the
sister <0269> of Ahaziah <0274>,) hid <05641> (8686) him from
<06440> Athaliah <06271>, so that she slew < 04191> (8689) him
not.

2Ch 22:12 And he was with them hid <02244> (8693) in the house
<01004> of God <0430> six <08337> years < 08141>: and Athaliah
<06271> reigned <04427> (8802) over the land < 0776>.

2Ch 23:01 ¶ And in the seventh <07637> year <08141> Jehoiada
<03077> strengthened <02388> (8694) himself, and took <03947>
(8799) the captains <08269> of hundreds <03967>, Azariah <05838>
the son <01121> of Jeroham <03395>, and Ishmael < 03458> the son
<01121> of Jehohanan <03076>, and Azariah < 05838> the son
<01121> of Obed <05744>, and Maaseiah <04641> the son <01121> of
Adaiah <05718>, and Elishaphat <0478> the son < 01121> of Zichri
<02147>, into covenant <01285> with him.

2Ch 23:02 And they went about <05437> (8799) in Judah < 03063>,
and gathered <06908> (8799) the Levites <03881> out of all the
cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and the chief < 07218> of the
fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, and they came < 0935> (8799) to
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 23:03 And all the congregation <06951> made < 03772> (8799)
a covenant <01285> with the king <04428> in the house <01004> of
God <0430>. And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Behold, the
king’s <04428> son <01121> shall reign <04427> (8799), as the
LORD <03068> hath said <01696> (8765) of the sons < 01121> of
David <01732>.

2Ch 23:04 This is the thing <01697> that ye shall do < 06213>
(8799); A third part <07992> of you entering <0935> (8802) on
the sabbath <07676>, of the priests <03548> and of the Levites
<03881>, shall be porters <07778> of the doors < 05592>;

2Ch 23:05 And a third part <07992> shall be at the king’s
<04428> house <01004>; and a third part <07992> at the gate
<08179> of the foundation <03247>: and all the people <05971>
shall be in the courts <02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068>.

2Ch 23:06 But let none come <0935> (8799) into the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, save the priests < 03548>, and they
that minister <08334> (8764) of the Levites <03881>; they shall
go in <0935> (8799), for they are holy <06944>: but all the
people <05971> shall keep <08104> (8799) the watch <04931> of
the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 23:07 And the Levites <03881> shall compass < 05362> (8689)
the king <04428> round about <05439>, every man < 0376> with his
weapons <03627> in his hand <03027>; and whosoever else cometh
<0935> (8802) into the house <01004>, he shall be put to death
<04191> (8714): but be ye with the king <04428> when he cometh
in <0935> (8800), and when he goeth out <03318> (8800).

2Ch 23:08 So the Levites <03881> and all Judah < 03063> did
<06213> (8799) according to all things that Jehoiada < 03077> the
priest <03548> had commanded <06680> (8765), and took <03947>
(8799) every man <0376> his men <0582> that were to come in
<0935> (8802) on the sabbath <07676>, with them that were to go
<03318> (8802) out on the sabbath <07676>: for Jehoiada <03077>
the priest <03548> dismissed <06358> (8804) not the courses
<04256>.

2Ch 23:09 Moreover Jehoiada <03077> the priest < 03548>
delivered <05414> (8799) to the captains <08269> of hundreds
<03967> spears <02595>, and bucklers <04043>, and shields
<07982>, that had been king <04428> David’s < 01732>, which were
in the house <01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 23:10 And he set <05975> (8686) all the people < 05971>,
every man <0376> having his weapon <07973> in his hand <03027>,
from the right <03233> side <03802> of the temple < 01004> to the
left <08042> side <03802> of the temple <01004>, along by the
altar <04196> and the temple <01004>, by the king < 04428> round
about <05439>.

2Ch 23:11 Then they brought out <03318> (8686) the king’s
<04428> son <01121>, and put <05414> (8799) upon him the crown
<05145>, and gave him the testimony <05715>, and made him king
<04427> (8686). And Jehoiada <03077> and his sons < 01121>
anointed <04886> (8799) him, and said <0559> (8799), God save
<02421> (8799) the king <04428>.

2Ch 23:12 ¶ Now when Athaliah <06271> heard <08085> (8799) the
noise <06963> of the people <05971> running < 07323> (8801) and
praising <01984> (8764) the king <04428>, she came <0935> (8799)
to the people <05971> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>:

2Ch 23:13 And she looked <07200> (8799), and, behold, the king
<04428> stood <05975> (8802) at his pillar < 05982> at the
entering in <03996>, and the princes <08269> and the trumpets
<02689> by the king <04428>: and all the people < 05971> of the
land <0776> rejoiced <08056>, and sounded < 08628> (8802) with
trumpets <02689>, also the singers <07891> (8789) with
instruments <03627> of musick <07892>, and such as taught
<03045> (8688) to sing praise <01984> (8763). Then Athaliah
<06271> rent <07167> (8799) her clothes <0899>, and said <0559>
(8799), Treason <07195>, Treason <07195>.

2Ch 23:14 Then Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548> brought out
<03318> (8686) the captains <08269> of hundreds < 03967> that
were set over <06485> (8803) the host <02428>, and said <0559>
(8799) unto them, Have her forth <03318> (8685) of the ranges
<01004> <07713>: and whoso followeth <0935> (8802) <0310> her,
let him be slain <04191> (8714) with the sword <02719> . For the
priest <03548> said <0559> (8804), Slay <04191> (8686) her not
in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 23:15 So they laid <07760> (8799) hands <03027> on her; and
when she was come <0935> (8799) to the entering < 03996> of the
horse <05483> gate <08179> by the king’s <04428> house <01004>,
they slew <04191> (8686) her there.

2Ch 23:16 And Jehoiada <03077> made <03772> (8799) a covenant
<01285> between him, and between all the people < 05971>, and
between the king <04428>, that they should be the LORD’S <03068>
people <05971>.

2Ch 23:17 Then all the people <05971> went <0935> (8799) to the
house <01004> of Baal <01168>, and brake it down < 05422> (8799),
and brake <07665> <00> his altars <04196> and his images <06754>
in pieces <07665> (8765), and slew <02026> (8804) Mattan <04977>
the priest <03548> of Baal <01168> before < 06440> the altars
<04196>.

2Ch 23:18 Also Jehoiada <03077> appointed <07760> (8799) the
offices <06486> of the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068> by the
hand <03027> of the priests <03548> the Levites < 03881>, whom
David <01732> had distributed <02505> (8804) in the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, to offer <05927> (8687) the burnt
offerings <05930> of the LORD <03068>, as it is written <03789>
(8803) in the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, with rejoicing
<08057> and with singing <07892>, as it was ordained by <03027>
David <01732>.

2Ch 23:19 And he set <05975> (8686) the porters < 07778> at the
gates <08179> of the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>, that
none which was unclean <02931> in any thing <01697> should enter
in <0935> (8799).

2Ch 23:20 And he took <03947> (8799) the captains < 08269> of
hundreds <03967>, and the nobles <0117>, and the governors
<04910> (8802) of the people <05971>, and all the people <05971>
of the land <0776>, and brought down <03381> (8686) the king
<04428> from the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>: and they
came <0935> (8799) through <08432> the high < 05945> gate <08179>
into the king’s <04428> house <01004>, and set < 03427> (8686)
the king <04428> upon the throne <03678> of the kingdom <04467>.

2Ch 23:21 And all the people <05971> of the land < 0776>
rejoiced <08055> (8799): and the city <05892> was quiet <08252>
(8804), after that they had slain <04191> (8689) Athaliah
<06271> with the sword <02719>.

2Ch 24:01 ¶ Joash <03101> was seven <07651> years < 08141> old
<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned
<04427> (8804) forty <0705> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>.
His mother’s <0517> name <08034> also was Zibiah < 06645> of
Beersheba <0884>.

2Ch 24:02 And Joash <03101> did <06213> (8799) that which was
right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD < 03068> all the
days <03117> of Jehoiada <03077> the priest < 03548>.

2Ch 24:03 And Jehoiada <03077> took <05375> (8799) for him two
<08147> wives <0802>; and he begat <03205> (8686) sons <01121>
and daughters <01323>.

2Ch 24:04 And it came to pass after <0310> this, that Joash
<03101> was minded <03820> to repair <02318> (8763) the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:05 And he gathered together <06908> (8799) the priests
<03548> and the Levites <03881>, and said <0559> (8799) to them,
Go out <03318> (8798) unto the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>,
and gather <06908> (8798) of all Israel <03478> money <03701> to
repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of your God <0430> from
<01767> year <08141> to year <08141>, and see that ye hasten
<04116> (8762) the matter <01697>. Howbeit the Levites <03881>
hastened <04116> (8765) it not.

2Ch 24:06 And the king <04428> called <07121> (8799) for
Jehoiada <03077> the chief <07218>, and said < 0559> (8799) unto
him, Why hast thou not required <01875> (8804) of the Levites
<03881> to bring in <0935> (8687) out of Judah < 03063> and out
of Jerusalem <03389> the collection <04864>, according to the
commandment of Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD
<03068>, and of the congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, for
the tabernacle <0168> of witness <05715>?

2Ch 24:07 For the sons <01121> of Athaliah <06271>, that wicked
<04849> woman, had broken up <06555> (8804) the house <01004> of
God <0430>; and also all the dedicated things <06944> of the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068> did they bestow < 06213> (8804)
upon Baalim <01168>.

2Ch 24:08 And at the king’s <04428> commandment < 0559> (8799)
they made <06213> (8799) a <0259> chest <0727>, and set <05414>
(8799) it without <02351> at the gate <08179> of the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:09 And they made <05414> (8799) a proclamation < 06963>
through Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, to bring in <0935>
(8687) to the LORD <03068> the collection <04864> that Moses
<04872> the servant <05650> of God <0430> laid upon Israel
<03478> in the wilderness <04057>.

2Ch 24:10 And all the princes <08269> and all the people
<05971> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and brought in < 0935> (8686),
and cast <07993> (8686) into the chest <0727>, until they had
made an end <03615> (8763).

2Ch 24:11 Now it came to pass, that at what time <06256> the
chest <0727> was brought <0935> (8686) unto the king’s <04428>
office <06486> by the hand <03027> of the Levites < 03881>, and
when they saw <07200> (8800) that there was much < 07227> money
<03701>, the king’s <04428> scribe <05608> (8802) and the high
<07218> priest’s <03548> officer <06496> came <0935> (8804) and
emptied <06168> (8762) the chest <0727>, and took < 05375> (8799)
it, and carried <07725> <00> it to his place < 04725> again
<07725> (8686). Thus they did <06213> (8804) day < 03117> by day
<03117>, and gathered <0622> (8799) money < 03701> in abundance
<07230>.

2Ch 24:12 And the king <04428> and Jehoiada <03077> gave
<05414> (8799) it to such as did <06213> (8802) the work <04399>
of the service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>,
and hired <07936> (8802) masons <02672> (8802) and carpenters
<02796> to repair <02318> (8763) the house < 01004> of the LORD
<03068>, and also such as wrought <02796> iron < 01270> and brass
<05178> to mend <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068>.

2Ch 24:13 So the workmen <04399> <06213> (8802) wrought <06213>
(8799), and the work <04399> was <05927> (8799) perfected <0724>
by them <03027>, and they set <05975> (8686) the house <01004>
of God <0430> in his state <04971>, and strengthened <0553>
(8762) it.

2Ch 24:14 And when they had finished <03615> (8763) it, they
brought <0935> (8689) the rest <07605> of the money <03701>
before <06440> the king <04428> and Jehoiada < 03077>, whereof
were made <06213> (8799) vessels <03627> for the house <01004>
of the LORD <03068>, even vessels <03627> to minister <08335>,
and to offer <05927> (8687) withal, and spoons <03709> , and
vessels <03627> of gold <02091> and silver < 03701>. And they
offered <05927> (8688) burnt offerings <05930> in the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068> continually <08548> all the days
<03117> of Jehoiada <03077>.

2Ch 24:15 ¶ But Jehoiada <03077> waxed old <02204> (8799), and
was full <07646> (8799) of days <03117> when he died <04191>
(8799); an hundred <03967> and thirty <07970> years <08141> old
<01121> was he when he died <04194>.

2Ch 24:16 And they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city
<05892> of David <01732> among the kings <04428> , because he had
done <06213> (8804) good <02896> in Israel < 03478>, both toward
God <0430>, and toward his house <01004>.

2Ch 24:17 Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Jehoiada
<03077> came <0935> (8804) the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>,
and made obeisance <07812> (8691) to the king <04428>. Then the
king <04428> hearkened <08085> (8804) unto them.

2Ch 24:18 And they left <05800> (8799) the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, and served
<05647> (8799) groves <0842> and idols <06091>: and wrath
<07110> came upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem < 03389> for this
their trespass <0819>.

2Ch 24:19 Yet he sent <07971> (8799) prophets <05030> to them,
to bring them again <07725> (8687) unto the LORD < 03068>; and
they testified <05749> (8686) against them: but they would not
give ear <0238> (8689).

2Ch 24:20 And the Spirit <07307> of God <0430> came <03847>
(8804) upon Zechariah <02148> the son <01121> of Jehoiada
<03077> the priest <03548>, which stood <05975> (8799) above the
people <05971>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804) God <0430>, Why transgress <05674> (8802) ye the
commandments <04687> of the LORD <03068>, that ye cannot prosper
<06743> (8686)? because ye have forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD
<03068>, he hath also forsaken <05800> (8799) you.

2Ch 24:21 And they conspired <07194> (8799) against him, and
stoned <07275> (8799) him with stones <068> at the commandment
<04687> of the king <04428> in the court <02691> of the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 24:22 Thus Joash <03101> the king <04428> remembered
<02142> (8804) not the kindness <02617> which Jehoiada <03077>
his father <01> had done <06213> (8804) to him, but slew <02026>
(8799) his son <01121>. And when he died <04194>, he said <0559>
(8804), The LORD <03068> look <07200> (8799) upon it, and
require <01875> (8799) it.

2Ch 24:23 And it came to pass at the end <08622> of the year
<08141>, that the host <02428> of Syria <0758> came up <05927>
(8804) against him: and they came <0935> (8799) to Judah <03063>
and Jerusalem <03389>, and destroyed <07843> (8686) all the
princes <08269> of the people <05971> from among the people
<05971>, and sent <07971> (8765) all the spoil < 07998> of them
unto the king <04428> of Damascus <01834>.

2Ch 24:24 For the army <02428> of the Syrians <0758> came
<0935> (8804) with a small <04705> company of men < 0582>, and
the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8804) a very < 03966> great
<07230> host <02428> into their hand <03027>, because they had
forsaken <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of their
fathers <01>. So they executed <06213> (8804) judgment <08201>
against Joash <03101>.

2Ch 24:25 And when they were departed <03212> (8800) from him,
(for they left <05800> (8804) him in great <07227> diseases
<04251>,) his own servants <05650> conspired < 07194> (8694)
against him for the blood <01818> of the sons <01121> of
Jehoiada <03077> the priest <03548>, and slew < 02026> (8799) him
on his bed <04296>, and he died <04191> (8799): and they buried
<06912> (8799) him in the city <05892> of David < 01732>, but
they buried <06912> (8804) him not in the sepulchres < 06913> of
the kings <04428>.

2Ch 24:26 And these are they that conspired <07194> (8693)
against him; Zabad <02066> the son <01121> of Shimeath <08100>
an Ammonitess <05985>, and Jehozabad <03075> the son <01121> of
Shimrith <08116> a Moabitess <04125>.

2Ch 24:27 Now concerning his sons <01121>, and the greatness
<07235> (8799) (8675) <07230> of the burdens < 04853> laid upon
him, and the repairing <03247> of the house <01004> of God
<0430>, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the story
<04097> of the book <05612> of the kings <04428> . And Amaziah
<0558> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 25:01 ¶ Amaziah <0558> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8804),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) twenty <06242> and nine <08672>
years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother’s <0517> name
<08034> was Jehoaddan <03086> of Jerusalem < 03389>.

2Ch 25:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right
<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> , but not with a
perfect <08003> heart <03824>.

2Ch 25:03 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom <04467> was
established <02388> (8804) to him, that he slew < 02026> (8799)
his servants <05650> that had killed <05221> (8688) the king
<04428> his father <01>.

2Ch 25:04 But he slew <04191> (8689) not their children <01121>,
but did as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law < 08451> in
the book <05612> of Moses <04872>, where the LORD < 03068>
commanded <06680> (8765), saying <0559> (8800), The fathers <01>
shall not die <04191> (8799) for the children <01121>, neither
shall the children <01121> die <04191> (8799) for the fathers
<01>, but every man <0376> shall die <04191> (8799) for his own
sin <02399>.

2Ch 25:05 Moreover Amaziah <0558> gathered <06908> <00> Judah
<03063> together <06908> (8799), and made < 05975> (8686) them
captains <08269> over thousands <0505>, and captains <08269>
over hundreds <03967>, according to the houses <01004> of their
fathers <01>, throughout all Judah <03063> and Benjamin <01144>:
and he numbered <06485> (8799) them from twenty < 06242> years
<08141> old <01121> and above <04605>, and found <04672> (8799)
them three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand < 0505> choice <0977>
(8803) men, able to go forth <03318> (8802) to war < 06635>, that
could handle <0270> (8802) spear <07420> and shield <06793>.

2Ch 25:06 He hired <07936> (8799) also an hundred < 03967>
thousand <0505> mighty <01368> men of valour < 02428> out of
Israel <03478> for an hundred <03967> talents < 03603> of silver
<03701>.

2Ch 25:07 But there came <0935> (8804) a man <0376> of God
<0430> to him, saying <0559> (8800), O king < 04428>, let not the
army <06635> of Israel <03478> go <0935> (8799) with thee; for
the LORD <03068> is not with Israel <03478>, to wit, with all
the children <01121> of Ephraim <0669>.

2Ch 25:08 But if thou wilt go <0935> (8798), do < 06213> (8798)
it, be strong <02388> (8798) for the battle <04421>: God <0430>
shall make thee fall <03782> (8686) before <06440> the enemy
<0341> (8802): for God <0430> hath <03426> power <03581> to help
<05826> (8800), and to cast down <03782> (8687).

2Ch 25:09 And Amaziah <0558> said <0559> (8799) to the man
<0376> of God <0430>, But what shall we do < 06213> (8800) for
the hundred <03967> talents <03603> which I have given <05414>
(8804) to the army <01416> of Israel <03478>? And the man <0376>
of God <0430> answered <0559> (8799), The LORD < 03068> is
<03426> able to give <05414> (8800) thee much more <07235>
(8687) than this.

2Ch 25:10 Then Amaziah <0558> separated <0914> (8686) them, to
wit, the army <01416> that was come <0935> (8804) to him out of
Ephraim <0669>, to go <03212> <00> home < 04725> again <03212>
(8800): wherefore their anger <0639> was greatly < 03966> kindled
<02734> (8799) against Judah <03063>, and they returned <07725>
(8799) home <04725> in great <02750> anger < 0639>.

2Ch 25:11 And Amaziah <0558> strengthened <02388> (8694)
himself, and led forth <05090> (8799) his people < 05971>, and
went <03212> (8799) to the valley <01516> of salt < 04417>, and
smote <05221> (8686) of the children <01121> of Seir <08165> ten
<06235> thousand <0505>.

2Ch 25:12 And other ten <06235> thousand <0505> left alive
<02416> did the children <01121> of Judah < 03063> carry away
captive <07617> (8804), and brought <0935> (8686) them unto the
top <07218> of the rock <05553>, and cast them down <07993>
(8686) from the top <07218> of the rock <05553>, that they all
were broken in pieces <01234> (8738).

2Ch 25:13 But the soldiers <01121> of the army < 01416> which
Amaziah <0558> sent back <07725> (8689), that they should not go
<03212> (8800) with him to battle <04421>, fell < 06584> (8799)
upon the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, from Samaria <08111>
even unto Bethhoron <01032>, and smote <05221> (8686) three
<07969> thousand <0505> of them, and took <0962> (8799) much
<07227> spoil <0961>.

2Ch 25:14 ¶ Now it came to pass, after <0310> that Amaziah
<0558> was come <0935> (8800) from the slaughter < 05221> (8687)
of the Edomites <0130>, that he brought <0935> (8686) the gods
<0430> of the children <01121> of Seir <08165>, and set them up
<05975> (8686) to be his gods <0430>, and bowed down <07812>
(8691) himself before <06440> them, and burned incense < 06999>
(8762) unto them.

2Ch 25:15 Wherefore the anger <0639> of the LORD < 03068> was
kindled <02734> (8799) against Amaziah <0558>, and he sent
<07971> (8799) unto him a prophet <05030>, which said <0559>
(8799) unto him, Why hast thou sought <01875> (8804) after the
gods <0430> of the people <05971>, which could not deliver
<05337> (8689) their own people <05971> out of thine hand
<03027>?

2Ch 25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked <01696> (8763) with
him, that the king said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou made
<05414> (8804) of the king’s <04428> counsel < 03289> (8802)?
forbear <02308> (8798); why shouldest thou be smitten < 05221>
(8686)? Then the prophet <05030> forbare <02308> (8799), and
said <0559> (8799), I know <03045> (8804) that God <0430> hath
determined <03289> (8804) to destroy <07843> (8687) thee,
because thou hast done <06213> (8804) this, and hast not
hearkened <08085> (8804) unto my counsel <06098>.

2Ch 25:17 ¶ Then Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>
took advice <03289> (8735), and sent <07971> (8799) to Joash
<03101>, the son <01121> of Jehoahaz <03059>, the son <01121> of
Jehu <03058>, king <04428> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>
(8800), Come <03212> (8798), let us see one another < 07200>
(8691) in the face <06440>.

2Ch 25:18 And Joash <03101> king <04428> of Israel <03478> sent
<07971> (8799) to Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>,
saying <0559> (8800), The thistle <02336> that was in Lebanon
<03844> sent <07971> (8804) to the cedar <0730> that was in
Lebanon <03844>, saying <0559> (8800), Give < 05414> (8798) thy
daughter <01323> to my son <01121> to wife < 0802>: and there
passed by <05674> (8799) a wild <07704> beast < 02416> that was
in Lebanon <03844>, and trode down <07429> (8799) the thistle
<02336>.

2Ch 25:19 Thou sayest <0559> (8804), Lo, thou hast smitten
<05221> (8689) the Edomites <0123>; and thine heart <03820>
lifteth thee up <05375> (8804) to boast <03513> (8687): abide
<03427> (8798) now at home <01004>; why shouldest thou meddle
<01624> (8691) to thine hurt <07451>, that thou shouldest fall
<05307> (8804), even thou, and Judah <03063> with thee?

2Ch 25:20 But Amaziah <0558> would not hear <08085> (8804); for
it came of God <0430>, that he might deliver <05414> (8800) them
into the hand <03027> of their enemies, because they sought
<01875> (8804) after the gods <0430> of Edom < 0123>.

2Ch 25:21 So Joash <03101> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>
went up <05927> (8799); and they saw one another < 07200> (8691)
in the face <06440>, both he and Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of
Judah <03063>, at Bethshemesh <01053>, which belongeth to Judah
<03063>.

2Ch 25:22 And Judah <03063> was put to the worse < 05062> (8735)
before <06440> Israel <03478>, and they fled < 05127> (8799)
every man <0376> to his tent <0168>.

2Ch 25:23 And Joash <03101> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>
took <08610> (8804) Amaziah <0558> king <04428> of Judah <03063>,
the son <01121> of Joash <03101>, the son < 01121> of Jehoahaz
<03059>, at Bethshemesh <01053>, and brought < 0935> (8686) him
to Jerusalem <03389>, and brake down <06555> (8799) the wall
<02346> of Jerusalem <03389> from the gate < 08179> of Ephraim
<0669> to the corner <06437> (8802) gate <08179> , four <0702>
hundred <03967> cubits <0520>.

2Ch 25:24 And he took all the gold <02091> and the silver
<03701>, and all the vessels <03627> that were found <04672>
(8737) in the house <01004> of God <0430> with Obededom <05654>,
and the treasures <0214> of the king’s <04428> house <01004>,
the hostages <01121> <08594> also, and returned < 07725> (8799)
to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 25:25 And Amaziah <0558> the son <01121> of Joash <03101>
king <04428> of Judah <03063> lived <02421> (8799) after <0310>
the death <04194> of Joash <03101> son <01121> of Jehoahaz
<03059> king <04428> of Israel <03478> fifteen <02568> <06240>
years <08141>.

2Ch 25:26 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Amaziah
<0558>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, are they not
written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings <04428>
of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>?

2Ch 25:27 Now after the time <06256> that Amaziah < 0558> did
turn away <05493> (8804) from following <0310> the LORD <03068>
they made <07194> (8799) a conspiracy <07195> against him in
Jerusalem <03389>; and he fled <05127> (8799) to Lachish <03923>:
but they sent <07971> (8799) to Lachish <03923> after <0310>
him, and slew <04191> (8686) him there.

2Ch 25:28 And they brought <05375> (8799) him upon horses
<05483>, and buried <06912> (8799) him with his fathers <01> in
the city <05892> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 26:01 ¶ Then all the people <05971> of Judah < 03063> took
<03947> (8799) Uzziah <05818>, who was sixteen < 08337> <06240>
years <08141> old <01121>, and made him king < 04427> (8686) in
the room of his father <01> Amaziah <0558>.

2Ch 26:02 He built <01129> (8804) Eloth <0359>, and restored
<07725> (8686) it to Judah <03063>, after <0310> that the king
<04428> slept <07901> (8800) with his fathers < 01>.

2Ch 26:03 Sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> old <01121> was
Uzziah <05818> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he
reigned <04427> (8804) fifty <02572> and two < 08147> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s < 0517> name <08034>
also was Jecoliah <03203> of Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 26:04 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right
<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> , according to
all that his father <01> Amaziah <0558> did < 06213> (8804).

2Ch 26:05 And he sought <01875> (8800) God <0430> in the days
<03117> of Zechariah <02148>, who had understanding <0995>
(8688) in the visions <07200> (8800) of God <0430>: and as long
as <03117> he sought <01875> (8800) the LORD < 03068>, God <0430>
made him to prosper <06743> (8689).

2Ch 26:06 And he went forth <03318> (8799) and warred < 03898>
(8735) against the Philistines <06430>, and brake down < 06555>
(8799) the wall <02346> of Gath <01661>, and the wall <02346> of
Jabneh <02996>, and the wall <02346> of Ashdod < 0795>, and built
<01129> (8799) cities <05892> about Ashdod < 0795>, and among the
Philistines <06430>.

2Ch 26:07 And God <0430> helped <05826> (8799) him against the
Philistines <06430>, and against the Arabians <06163> that dwelt
<03427> (8802) in Gurbaal <01485>, and the Mehunims <04586>.

2Ch 26:08 And the Ammonites <05984> gave <05414> (8799) gifts
<04503> to Uzziah <05818>: and his name <08034> spread abroad
<03212> (8799) even to the entering <0935> (8800) in of Egypt
<04714>; for he strengthened <02388> (8689) himself exceedingly
<04605>.

2Ch 26:09 Moreover Uzziah <05818> built <01129> (8799) towers
<04026> in Jerusalem <03389> at the corner < 06438> gate <08179>,
and at the valley <01516> gate <08179>, and at the turning
<04740> of the wall, and fortified <02388> (8762) them.

2Ch 26:10 Also he built <01129> (8799) towers <04026> in the
desert <04057>, and digged <02672> (8799) many < 07227> wells
<0953>: for he had much <07227> cattle <04735>, both in the low
country <08219>, and in the plains <04334>: husbandmen <0406>
also, and vine dressers <03755> in the mountains < 02022>, and in
Carmel <03760>: for he loved <0157> (8802) husbandry <0127>.

2Ch 26:11 Moreover Uzziah <05818> had an host <02428> of
fighting <04421> men <06213> (8802), that went out <03318>
(8802) to war <06635> by bands <01416>, according to the number
<04557> of their account <06486> by the hand < 03027> of Jeiel
<03273> the scribe <05608> (8802) and Maaseiah < 04641> the ruler
<07860> (8802), under the hand <03027> of Hananiah <02608>, one
of the king’s <04428> captains <08269>.

2Ch 26:12 The whole number <04557> of the chief < 07218> of the
fathers <01> of the mighty men <01368> of valour < 02428> were
two thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred < 03967>.

2Ch 26:13 And under their hand <03027> was an army < 02428>
<06635>, three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505> and seven
<07651> thousand <0505> and five <02568> hundred <03967>, that
made <06213> (8802) war <04421> with mighty < 02428> power
<03581>, to help <05826> (8800) the king <04428> against the
enemy <0341> (8802).

2Ch 26:14 And Uzziah <05818> prepared <03559> (8686) for them
throughout all the host <06635> shields <04043>, and spears
<07420>, and helmets <03553>, and habergeons < 08302>, and bows
<07198>, and slings <07050> to cast stones <068> .

2Ch 26:15 And he made <06213> (8799) in Jerusalem < 03389>
engines <02810>, invented <04284> by cunning men < 02803> (8802),
to be on the towers <04026> and upon the bulwarks < 06438>, to
shoot <03384> (8800) arrows <02671> and great < 01419> stones
<068> withal. And his name <08034> spread < 03318> (8799) far
abroad <07350>; for he was marvellously <06381> (8689) helped
<05826> (8736), till <03588> he was strong < 02388> (8804).

2Ch 26:16 ¶ But when he was strong <02393>, his heart < 03820>
was lifted up <01361> (8804) to his destruction < 07843> (8687):
for he transgressed <04603> (8799) against the LORD < 03068> his
God <0430>, and went <0935> (8799) into the temple <01964> of
the LORD <03068> to burn incense <06999> (8687) upon the altar
<04196> of incense <07004>.

2Ch 26:17 And Azariah <05838> the priest <03548> went in <0935>
(8799) after <0310> him, and with him fourscore < 08084> priests
<03548> of the LORD <03068>, that were valiant < 02428> men
<01121>:

2Ch 26:18 And they withstood <05975> (8799) Uzziah < 05818> the
king <04428>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, It appertaineth
not unto thee, Uzziah <05818>, to burn incense <06999> (8687)
unto the LORD <03068>, but to the priests <03548> the sons
<01121> of Aaron <0175>, that are consecrated < 06942> (8794) to
burn incense <06999> (8687): go out <03318> (8798) of the
sanctuary <04720>; for thou hast trespassed <04603> (8804);
neither shall it be for thine honour <03519> from the LORD
<03068> God <0430>.

2Ch 26:19 Then Uzziah <05818> was wroth <02196> (8799), and had
a censer <04730> in his hand <03027> to burn incense <06999>
(8687): and while he was wroth <02196> (8800) with the priests
<03548>, the leprosy <06883> even rose up < 02224> (8804) in his
forehead <04696> before <06440> the priests < 03548> in the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, from beside the incense <07004>
altar <04196>.

2Ch 26:20 And Azariah <05838> the chief <07218> priest <03548>,
and all the priests <03548>, looked <06437> (8799) upon him, and,
behold, he was leprous <06879> (8794) in his forehead < 04696>,
and they thrust him out <0926> (8686) from thence; yea, himself
hasted <01765> (8738) also to go out <03318> (8800), because the
LORD <03068> had smitten <05060> (8765) him.

2Ch 26:21 And Uzziah <05818> the king <04428> was a leper
<06879> (8794) unto the day <03117> of his death < 04194>, and
dwelt in <03427> (8799) a several <02669> (8675) < 02669> house
<01004>, being a leper <06879> (8794); for he was cut off
<01504> (8738) from the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>: and
Jotham <03147> his son <01121> was over the king’s <04428> house
<01004>, judging <08199> (8802) the people < 05971> of the land
<0776>.

2Ch 26:22 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Uzziah
<05818>, first <07223> and last <0314>, did Isaiah <03470> the
prophet <05030>, the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, write <03789>
(8804).

2Ch 26:23 So Uzziah <05818> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him with his
fathers <01> in the field <07704> of the burial < 06900> which
belonged to the kings <04428>; for they said <0559> (8804), He
is a leper <06879> (8794): and Jotham <03147> his son <01121>
reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 27:01 ¶ Jotham <03147> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> < 06240> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s < 0517> name <08034>
also was Jerushah <03388>, the daughter <01323> of Zadok <06659>.

2Ch 27:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right
<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> , according to
all that his father <01> Uzziah <05818> did < 06213> (8804):
howbeit he entered <0935> (8804) not into the temple < 01964> of
the LORD <03068>. And the people <05971> did yet corruptly
<07843> (8688).

2Ch 27:03 He built <01129> (8804) the high <05945> gate <08179>
of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and on the wall
<02346> of Ophel <06077> he built <01129> (8804) much <07230>.

2Ch 27:04 Moreover he built <01129> (8804) cities < 05892> in
the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and in the forests
<02793> he built <01129> (8804) castles <01003> and towers
<04026>.

2Ch 27:05 He fought <03898> (8738) also with the king < 04428>
of the Ammonites <05984>, and prevailed <02388> (8799) against
them. And the children <01121> of Ammon <05983> gave <05414>
(8799) him the same year <08141> an hundred <03967> talents
<03603> of silver <03701>, and ten <06235> thousand <0505>
measures <03734> of wheat <02406>, and ten < 06235> thousand
<0505> of barley <08184>. So much did the children <01121> of
Ammon <05983> pay <07725> (8689) unto <02063> him, both the
second <08145> year <08141>, and the third < 07992>.

2Ch 27:06 So Jotham <03147> became mighty <02388> (8691),
because he prepared <03559> (8689) his ways <01870> before
<06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 27:07 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jotham
<03147>, and all his wars <04421>, and his ways < 01870>, lo,
they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings
<04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>.

2Ch 27:08 He was five <02568> and twenty <06242> years <08141>
old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and reigned
<04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 27:09 And Jotham <03147> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city
<05892> of David <01732>: and Ahaz <0271> his son <01121>
reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 28:01 ¶ Ahaz <0271> was twenty <06242> years < 08141> old
<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned
<04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in
Jerusalem <03389>: but he did <06213> (8804) not that which was
right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD < 03068>, like
David <01732> his father <01>:

2Ch 28:02 For he walked in <03212> (8799) the ways < 01870> of
the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>, and made < 06213> (8804)
also molten images <04541> for Baalim <01168>.

2Ch 28:03 Moreover he burnt incense <06999> (8689) in the
valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom < 02011>, and burnt
<01197> (8686) his children <01121> in the fire < 0784>, after
the abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471> whom the LORD
<03068> had cast out <03423> (8689) before < 06440> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:04 He sacrificed <02076> (8762) also and burnt incense
<06999> (8762) in the high places <01116>, and on the hills
<01389>, and under every green <07488> tree < 06086>.

2Ch 28:05 Wherefore the LORD <03068> his God <0430> delivered
<05414> (8799) him into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of
Syria <0758>; and they smote <05221> (8686) him, and carried
away <07617> (8799) a great multitude <01419> of them captives
<07633>, and brought <0935> (8686) them to Damascus <01834>. And
he was also delivered <05414> (8737) into the hand < 03027> of
the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, who smote < 05221> (8686) him
with a great <01419> slaughter <04347>.

2Ch 28:06 ¶ For Pekah <06492> the son <01121> of Remaliah
<07425> slew <02026> (8799) in Judah <03063> an hundred <03967>
and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> in one <0259> day <03117>,
which were all valiant <02428> men <01121>; because they had
forsaken <05800> (8800) the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of their
fathers <01>.

2Ch 28:07 And Zichri <02147>, a mighty man <01368> of Ephraim
<0669>, slew <02026> (8799) Maaseiah <04641> the king’s <04428>
son <01121>, and Azrikam <05840> the governor < 05057> of the
house <01004>, and Elkanah <0511> that was next < 04932> to the
king <04428>.

2Ch 28:08 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> carried
away captive <07617> (8799) of their brethren <0251> two hundred
<03967> thousand <0505>, women <0802>, sons < 01121>, and
daughters <01323>, and took also away <0962> (8804) much <07227>
spoil <07998> from them, and brought <0935> (8686) the spoil
<07998> to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 28:09 But a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068> was there,
whose name <08034> was Oded <05752>: and he went out <03318>
(8799) before <06440> the host <06635> that came < 0935> (8802)
to Samaria <08111>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Behold,
because the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01> was
wroth <02534> with Judah <03063>, he hath delivered <05414>
(8804) them into your hand <03027>, and ye have slain < 02026>
(8799) them in a rage <02197> that reacheth up <05060> (8689)
unto heaven <08064>.

2Ch 28:10 And now ye purpose <0559> (8802) to keep under
<03533> (8800) the children <01121> of Judah < 03063> and
Jerusalem <03389> for bondmen <05650> and bondwomen <08198> unto
you: but are there not with you, even <07535> with you, sins
<0819> against the LORD <03068> your God <0430>?

2Ch 28:11 Now hear <08085> (8798) me therefore, and deliver
<07725> (8685) the captives <07633> again, which ye have taken
captive <07617> (8804) of your brethren <0251>: for the fierce
<02740> wrath <0639> of the LORD <03068> is upon you.

2Ch 28:12 Then certain <0582> of the heads <07218> of the
children <01121> of Ephraim <0669>, Azariah < 05838> the son
<01121> of Johanan <03076>, Berechiah <01296> the son <01121> of
Meshillemoth <04919>, and Jehizkiah <03169> the son <01121> of
Shallum <07967>, and Amasa <06021> the son < 01121> of Hadlai
<02311>, stood up <06965> (8799) against them that came <0935>
(8802) from the war <06635>,

2Ch 28:13 And said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye shall not bring
in <0935> (8686) the captives <07633> hither: for whereas we
have offended <0819> against the LORD <03068> already, ye intend
<0559> (8802) to add <03254> (8687) more to our sins <02403> and
to our trespass <0819>: for our trespass <0819> is great <07227>,
and there is fierce <02740> wrath <0639> against Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:14 So the armed men <02502> (8803) left < 05800> (8799)
the captives <07633> and the spoil <0961> before < 06440> the
princes <08269> and all the congregation <06951>.

2Ch 28:15 And the men <0582> which were expressed < 05344>
(8738) by name <08034> rose up <06965> (8799), and took <02388>
(8686) the captives <07633>, and with the spoil < 07998> clothed
<03847> (8689) all that were naked <04636> among them, and
arrayed <03847> (8686) them, and shod <05274> (8686) them, and
gave them to eat <0398> (8686) and to drink <08248> (8686), and
anointed <05480> (8799) them, and carried <05095> (8762) all the
feeble <03782> (8802) of them upon asses <02543>, and brought
<0935> (8686) them to Jericho <03405>, the city < 05892> of palm
trees <08558> (8677) <05899>, to <0681> their brethren <0251>:
then they returned <07725> (8799) to Samaria <08111>.

2Ch 28:16 ¶ At that time <06256> did king <04428> Ahaz <0271>
send <07971> (8804) unto the kings <04428> of Assyria <0804> to
help <05826> (8800) him.

2Ch 28:17 For again the Edomites <0130> had come < 0935> (8804)
and smitten <05221> (8686) Judah <03063>, and carried away
<07617> (8799) captives <07628>.

2Ch 28:18 The Philistines <06430> also had invaded < 06584>
(8804) the cities <05892> of the low country <08219>, and of the
south <05045> of Judah <03063>, and had taken < 03920> (8799)
Bethshemesh <01053>, and Ajalon <0357>, and Gederoth <01450>,
and Shocho <07755> with the villages <01323> thereof, and Timnah
<08553> with the villages <01323> thereof, Gimzo < 01579> also
and the villages <01323> thereof: and they dwelt < 03427> (8799)
there.

2Ch 28:19 For the LORD <03068> brought <03665> < 00> Judah
<03063> low <03665> (8689) because of Ahaz < 0271> king <04428>
of Israel <03478>; for he made <06544> <00> Judah <03063> naked
<06544> (8689), and transgressed <04603> (8800) sore <04604>
against the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 28:20 And Tilgathpilneser <08407> king <04428> of Assyria
<0804> came <0935> (8799) unto him, and distressed <06696>
(8799) him, but strengthened <02388> (8804) him not.

2Ch 28:21 For Ahaz <0271> took away a portion <02505> (8804)
out of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and out of the
house <01004> of the king <04428>, and of the princes <08269>,
and gave <05414> (8799) it unto the king <04428> of Assyria
<0804>: but he helped <05833> him not.

2Ch 28:22 And in the time <06256> of his distress < 06887>
(8687) did he trespass <04603> (8800) yet more <03254> (8686)
against the LORD <03068>: this is that king <04428> Ahaz <0271>.

2Ch 28:23 For he sacrificed <02076> (8799) unto the gods <0430>
of Damascus <01834>, which smote <05221> (8688) him: and he said
<0559> (8799), Because the gods <0430> of the kings <04428> of
Syria <0758> help <05826> (8688) them, therefore will I
sacrifice <02076> (8762) to them, that they may help < 05826>
(8799) me. But they were the ruin <03782> (8687) of him, and of
all Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:24 And Ahaz <0271> gathered together <0622> (8799) the
vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of God < 0430>, and cut in
pieces <07112> (8762) the vessels <03627> of the house <01004>
of God <0430>, and shut up <05462> (8799) the doors <01817> of
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and he made <06213>
(8799) him altars <04196> in every corner <06438> of Jerusalem
<03389>.

2Ch 28:25 And in every several city <05892> of Judah < 03063> he
made <06213> (8804) high places <01116> to burn incense <06999>
(8763) unto other <0312> gods <0430>, and provoked to anger
<03707> (8686) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of his fathers <01>.

2Ch 28:26 Now the rest <03499> of his acts <01697> and of all
his ways <01870>, first <07223> and last <0314>, behold, they
are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings
<04428> of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>.

2Ch 28:27 And Ahaz <0271> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers
<01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the city <05892>,
even in Jerusalem <03389>: but they brought <0935> (8689) him
not into the sepulchres <06913> of the kings <04428> of Israel
<03478>: and Hezekiah <03169> his son <01121> reigned <04427>
(8799) in his stead.

2Ch 29:01 ¶ Hezekiah <03169> began to reign <04427> (8804) when
he was five <02568> and twenty <06242> years < 08141> old <01121>,
and he reigned <04427> (8804) nine <08672> and twenty <06242>
years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother’s <0517> name
<08034> was Abijah <029>, the daughter <01323> of Zechariah
<02148>.

2Ch 29:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right
<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> , according to
all that David <01732> his father <01> had done < 06213> (8804).

2Ch 29:03 He in the first <07223> year <08141> of his reign
<04427> (8800), in the first <07223> month < 02320>, opened
<06605> (8804) the doors <01817> of the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, and repaired <02388> (8762) them.

2Ch 29:04 And he brought in <0935> (8686) the priests < 03548>
and the Levites <03881>, and gathered them together < 0622>
(8799) into the east <04217> street <07339>,

2Ch 29:05 And said <0559> (8799) unto them, Hear < 08085> (8798)
me, ye Levites <03881>, sanctify <06942> (8690) now yourselves,
and sanctify <06942> (8761) the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>, and carry forth <03318>
(8685) the filthiness <05079> out of the holy <06944> place.

2Ch 29:06 For our fathers <01> have trespassed < 04603> (8804),
and done <06213> (8804) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes
<05869> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, and have forsaken
<05800> (8799) him, and have turned away <05437> (8686) their
faces <06440> from the habitation <04908> of the LORD <03068>,
and turned <05414> (8799) their backs <06203>.

2Ch 29:07 Also they have shut up <05462> (8804) the doors
<01817> of the porch <0197>, and put out <03518> (8762) the
lamps <05216>, and have not burned <06999> (8689) incense
<07004> nor offered <05927> (8689) burnt offerings <05930> in
the holy <06944> place unto the God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 29:08 Wherefore the wrath <07110> of the LORD < 03068> was
upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>, and he hath delivered
<05414> (8799) them to trouble <02189> (8675) < 02113>, to
astonishment <08047>, and to hissing <08322>, as ye see <07200>
(8802) with your eyes <05869>.

2Ch 29:09 For, lo, our fathers <01> have fallen < 05307> (8804)
by the sword <02719>, and our sons <01121> and our daughters
<01323> and our wives <0802> are in captivity < 07628> for this.

2Ch 29:10 Now it is in mine heart <03824> to make < 03772>
(8800) a covenant <01285> with the LORD <03068> God <0430> of
Israel <03478>, that his fierce <02740> wrath < 0639> may turn
away <07725> (8799) from us.

2Ch 29:11 My sons <01121>, be not now negligent < 07952> (8735):
for the LORD <03068> hath chosen <0977> (8804) you to stand
<05975> (8800) before <06440> him, to serve < 08334> (8763) him,
and that ye should minister <08334> (8764) unto him, and burn
incense <06999> (8688).

2Ch 29:12 ¶ Then the Levites <03881> arose <06965> (8799),
Mahath <04287> the son <01121> of Amasai <06022> , and Joel
<03100> the son <01121> of Azariah <05838>, of the sons <01121>
of the Kohathites <06956>: and of the sons <01121> of Merari
<04847>, Kish <07027> the son <01121> of Abdi <05660>, and
Azariah <05838> the son <01121> of Jehalelel < 03094>: and of the
Gershonites <01649>; Joah <03098> the son < 01121> of Zimmah
<02155>, and Eden <05731> the son <01121> of Joah <03098>:

2Ch 29:13 And of the sons <01121> of Elizaphan <0469> ; Shimri
<08113>, and Jeiel <03273>: and of the sons < 01121> of Asaph
<0623>; Zechariah <02148>, and Mattaniah <04983> :

2Ch 29:14 And of the sons <01121> of Heman <01968>; Jehiel
<03171>, and Shimei <08096>: and of the sons < 01121> of Jeduthun
<03038>; Shemaiah <08098>, and Uzziel <05816>.

2Ch 29:15 And they gathered <0622> (8799) their brethren <0251>,
and sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves, and came < 0935>
(8799), according to the commandment <04687> of the king <04428>,
by the words <01697> of the LORD <03068>, to cleanse <02891>
(8763) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:16 And the priests <03548> went <0935> (8799) into the
inner part <06441> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, to
cleanse <02891> (8763) it, and brought out <03318> (8686) all
the uncleanness <02932> that they found <04672> (8804) in the
temple <01964> of the LORD <03068> into the court < 02691> of the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And the Levites <03881> took
<06901> (8762) it, to carry it out <03318> (8687) abroad <02351>
into the brook <05158> Kidron <06939>.

2Ch 29:17 Now they began <02490> (8686) on the first < 0259> day
of the first <07223> month <02320> to sanctify < 06942> (8763),
and on the eighth <08083> day <03117> of the month <02320> came
<0935> (8804) they to the porch <0197> of the LORD <03068>: so
they sanctified <06942> (8762) the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> in eight <08083> days <03117>; and in the sixteenth
<08337> <06240> day of the first <07223> month <02320> they made
an end <03615> (8765).

2Ch 29:18 Then they went <0935> (8799) in <06441> to Hezekiah
<02396> the king <04428>, and said <0559> (8799), We have
cleansed <02891> (8765) all the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068>, and the altar <04196> of burnt offering < 05930>, with
all the vessels <03627> thereof, and the shewbread < 04635> table
<07979>, with all the vessels <03627> thereof.

2Ch 29:19 Moreover all the vessels <03627>, which king < 04428>
Ahaz <0271> in his reign <04438> did cast away < 02186> (8689) in
his transgression <04604>, have we prepared <03559> (8689) and
sanctified <06942> (8689), and, behold, they are before < 06440>
the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:20 ¶ Then Hezekiah <03169> the king <04428> rose early
<07925> (8686), and gathered <0622> (8799) the rulers <08269> of
the city <05892>, and went up <05927> (8799) to the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:21 And they brought <0935> (8686) seven < 07651> bullocks
<06499>, and seven <07651> rams <0352>, and seven <07651> lambs
<03532>, and seven <07651> he <06842> goats < 05795>, for a sin
offering <02403> for the kingdom <04467>, and for the sanctuary
<04720>, and for Judah <03063>. And he commanded < 0559> (8799)
the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron < 0175> to offer
<05927> (8687) them on the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:22 So they killed <07819> (8799) the bullocks < 01241>,
and the priests <03548> received <06901> (8762) the blood
<01818>, and sprinkled <02236> (8799) it on the altar <04196>:
likewise, when they had killed <07819> (8799) the rams < 0352>,
they sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood <01818> upon the altar
<04196>: they killed <07819> (8799) also the lambs <03532>, and
they sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood <01818> upon the altar
<04196>.

2Ch 29:23 And they brought forth <05066> (8686) the he goats
<08163> for the sin offering <02403> before < 06440> the king
<04428> and the congregation <06951>; and they laid <05564>
(8799) their hands <03027> upon them:

2Ch 29:24 And the priests <03548> killed <07819> (8799) them,
and they made reconciliation <02398> (8762) with their blood
<01818> upon the altar <04196>, to make an atonement <03722>
(8763) for all Israel <03478>: for the king <04428> commanded
<0559> (8804) that the burnt offering <05930> and the sin
offering <02403> should be made for all Israel <03478> .

2Ch 29:25 And he set <05975> (8686) the Levites < 03881> in the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068> with cymbals < 04700>, with
psalteries <05035>, and with harps <03658>, according to the
commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and of Gad < 01410> the
king’s <04428> seer <02374>, and Nathan <05416> the prophet
<05030>: for so was the commandment <04687> of < 03027> the LORD
<03068> by <03027> his prophets <05030>.

2Ch 29:26 And the Levites <03881> stood <05975> (8799) with the
instruments <03627> of David <01732>, and the priests <03548>
with the trumpets <02689>.

2Ch 29:27 And Hezekiah <02396> commanded <0559> (8799) to offer
<05927> (8687) the burnt offering <05930> upon the altar <04196>.
And when <06256> the burnt offering <05930> began <02490>
(8689), the song <07892> of the LORD <03068> began <02490>
(8689) also with the trumpets <02689>, and with the instruments
<03627> ordained by <03027> David <01732> king <04428> of Israel
<03478>.

2Ch 29:28 And all the congregation <06951> worshipped < 07812>
(8693), and the singers <07892> sang <07891> (8789), and the
trumpeters <02689> sounded <02690> (8688) (8675) < 02690> (8764):
and all this continued until the burnt offering <05930> was
finished <03615> (8800).

2Ch 29:29 And when they had made an end <03615> (8763) of
offering <05927> (8687), the king <04428> and all that were
present <04672> (8737) with him bowed <03766> (8804) themselves,
and worshipped <07812> (8691).

2Ch 29:30 Moreover Hezekiah <03169> the king <04428> and the
princes <08269> commanded <0559> (8799) the Levites <03881> to
sing praise <01984> (8763) unto the LORD <03068> with the words
<01697> of David <01732>, and of Asaph <0623> the seer <02374>.
And they sang praises <01984> (8762) with gladness < 08057>, and
they bowed their heads <06915> (8799) and worshipped < 07812>
(8691).

2Ch 29:31 Then Hezekiah <03169> answered <06030> (8799) and
said <0559> (8799), Now ye have consecrated <04390> (8765)
<03027> yourselves unto the LORD <03068>, come near <05066>
(8798) and bring <0935> (8685) sacrifices <02077> and thank
offerings <08426> into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
And the congregation <06951> brought in <0935> (8686) sacrifices
<02077> and thank offerings <08426>; and as many as were of a
free <05081> heart <03820> burnt offerings < 05930>.

2Ch 29:32 And the number <04557> of the burnt offerings <05930>,
which the congregation <06951> brought <0935> (8689), was
threescore and ten <07657> bullocks <01241>, an hundred <03967>
rams <0352>, and two hundred <03967> lambs < 03532>: all these
were for a burnt offering <05930> to the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 29:33 And the consecrated things <06944> were six < 08337>
hundred <03967> oxen <01241> and three <07969> thousand <0505>
sheep <06629>.

2Ch 29:34 But the priests <03548> were too few < 04592>, so that
they could <03201> (8804) not flay <06584> (8687) all the burnt
offerings <05930>: wherefore their brethren <0251> the Levites
<03881> did help <02388> (8762) them, till the work <04399> was
ended <03615> (8800), and until the other priests < 03548> had
sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves: for the Levites < 03881>
were more upright <03477> in heart <03824> to sanctify <06942>
(8692) themselves than the priests <03548>.

2Ch 29:35 And also the burnt offerings <05930> were in
abundance <07230>, with the fat <02459> of the peace offerings
<08002>, and the drink offerings <05262> for every burnt
offering <05930>. So the service <05656> of the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068> was set in order <03559> (8735).

2Ch 29:36 And Hezekiah <03169> rejoiced <08055> (8799), and all
the people <05971>, that God <0430> had prepared < 03559> (8689)
the people <05971>: for the thing <01697> was done suddenly
<06597>.

2Ch 30:01 ¶ And Hezekiah <03169> sent <07971> (8799) to all
Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>, and wrote < 03789> (8804)
letters <0107> also to Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519>, that
they should come <0935> (8800) to the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> at Jerusalem <03389>, to keep <06213> (8800) the
passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of Israel
<03478>.

2Ch 30:02 For the king <04428> had taken counsel < 03289> (8735),
and his princes <08269>, and all the congregation < 06951> in
Jerusalem <03389>, to keep <06213> (8800) the passover <06453>
in the second <08145> month <02320>.

2Ch 30:03 For they could <03201> (8804) not keep < 06213> (8800)
it at that time <06256>, because the priests <03548> had not
sanctified <06942> (8694) themselves sufficiently < 04078> (8676)
<01767>, neither had the people <05971> gathered themselves
together <0622> (8738) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 30:04 And the thing <01697> pleased <03474> (8799) <05869>
the king <04428> and all the congregation <06951>.

2Ch 30:05 So they established <05975> (8686) a decree < 01697>
to make proclamation <05674> (8687) <06963> throughout all
Israel <03478>, from Beersheba <0884> even to Dan < 01835>, that
they should come <0935> (8800) to keep <06213> (8800) the
passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of Israel
<03478> at Jerusalem <03389>: for they had not done <06213>
(8804) it of a long <07230> time in such sort as it was written
<03789> (8803).

2Ch 30:06 So the posts <07323> (8801) went <03212> (8799) with
the letters <0107> from <03027> the king <04428> and his princes
<08269> throughout all Israel <03478> and Judah < 03063>, and
according to the commandment <04687> of the king < 04428>, saying
<0559> (8800), Ye children <01121> of Israel < 03478>, turn again
<07725> (8798) unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Abraham <085>,
Isaac <03327>, and Israel <03478>, and he will return <07725>
(8799) to the remnant <07604> (8737) of you, that are escaped
<06413> out of the hand <03709> of the kings < 04428> of Assyria
<0804>.

2Ch 30:07 And be not ye like your fathers <01>, and like your
brethren <0251>, which trespassed <04603> (8804) against the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, who therefore
gave them up <05414> (8799) to desolation <08047>, as ye see
<07200> (8802).

2Ch 30:08 Now be ye not stiffnecked <07185> (8686) < 06203>, as
your fathers <01> were, but yield <05414> (8798) yourselves
<03027> unto the LORD <03068>, and enter <0935> (8798) into his
sanctuary <04720>, which he hath sanctified <06942> (8689) for
ever <05769>: and serve <05647> (8798) the LORD < 03068> your God
<0430>, that the fierceness <02740> of his wrath < 0639> may turn
away <07725> (8799) from you.

2Ch 30:09 For if ye turn again <07725> (8800) unto the LORD
<03068>, your brethren <0251> and your children < 01121> shall
find compassion <07356> before <06440> them that lead them
captive <07617> (8802), so that they shall come again < 07725>
(8800) into this land <0776>: for the LORD <03068> your God
<0430> is gracious <02587> and merciful <07349>, and will not
turn away <05493> (8686) his face <06440> from you, if ye return
<07725> (8799) unto him.

2Ch 30:10 So the posts <07323> (8801) passed <05674> (8802)
from city <05892> to city <05892> through the country <0776> of
Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519> even unto Zebulun <02074>:
but they laughed them to scorn <07832> (8688), and mocked
<03932> (8688) them.

2Ch 30:11 Nevertheless divers <0582> of Asher <0836> and
Manasseh <04519> and of Zebulun <02074> humbled < 03665> (8738)
themselves, and came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem < 03389>.

2Ch 30:12 Also in Judah <03063> the hand <03027> of God <0430>
was to give <05414> (8800) them one <0259> heart < 03820> to do
<06213> (8800) the commandment <04687> of the king <04428> and
of the princes <08269>, by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:13 ¶ And there assembled <0622> (8735) at Jerusalem
<03389> much <07227> people <05971> to keep < 06213> (8800) the
feast <02282> of unleavened bread <04682> in the second <08145>
month <02320>, a very <03966> great <07230> congregation <06951>.

2Ch 30:14 And they arose <06965> (8799) and took away < 05493>
(8686) the altars <04196> that were in Jerusalem < 03389>, and
all the altars for incense <06999> took they away < 05493> (8689),
and cast <07993> (8686) them into the brook <05158> Kidron
<06939>.

2Ch 30:15 Then they killed <07819> (8799) the passover < 06453>
on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day of the second <08145> month
<02320>: and the priests <03548> and the Levites < 03881> were
ashamed <03637> (8738), and sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves,
and brought in <0935> (8686) the burnt offerings < 05930> into
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:16 And they stood <05975> (8799) in their place < 05977>
after their manner <04941>, according to the law < 08451> of
Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God <0430>: the priests <03548>
sprinkled <02236> (8802) the blood <01818>, which they received
of the hand <03027> of the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 30:17 For there were many <07227> in the congregation
<06951> that were not sanctified <06942> (8694): therefore the
Levites <03881> had the charge of the killing <07821> of the
passovers <06453> for every one that was not clean < 02889>, to
sanctify <06942> (8687) them unto the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:18 For a multitude <04768> of the people < 05971>, even
many <07227> of Ephraim <0669>, and Manasseh < 04519>, Issachar
<03485>, and Zebulun <02074>, had not <03808> cleansed <02891>
(8694) themselves, yet did they eat <0398> (8804) the passover
<06453> otherwise than it was written <03789> (8803). But
Hezekiah <03169> prayed <06419> (8694) for them, saying <0559>
(8800), The good <02896> LORD <03068> pardon < 03722> (8762)
every one

2Ch 30:19 That prepareth <03559> (8689) his heart < 03824> to
seek <01875> (8800) God <0430>, the LORD <03068> God <0430> of
his fathers <01>, though he be not cleansed according to the
purification <02893> of the sanctuary <06944>.

2Ch 30:20 And the LORD <03068> hearkened <08085> (8799) to
Hezekiah <03169>, and healed <07495> (8799) the people <05971>.

2Ch 30:21 ¶ And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> that were
present <04672> (8737) at Jerusalem <03389> kept < 06213> (8799)
the feast <02282> of unleavened bread <04682> seven <07651> days
<03117> with great <01419> gladness <08057>: and the Levites
<03881> and the priests <03548> praised <01984> (8764) the LORD
<03068> day <03117> by day <03117>, singing with loud <05797>
instruments <03627> unto the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 30:22 And Hezekiah <03169> spake <01696> (8762) comfortably
<03820> unto all the Levites <03881> that taught < 07919> (8688)
the good <02896> knowledge <07922> of the LORD < 03068>: and they
did eat <0398> (8799) throughout the feast <04150> seven <07651>
days <03117>, offering <02076> (8764) peace < 08002> offerings
<02077>, and making confession <03034> (8693) to the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 30:23 And the whole assembly <06951> took counsel < 03289>
(8735) to keep <06213> (8800) other <0312> seven < 07651> days
<03117>: and they kept <06213> (8799) other seven < 07651> days
<03117> with gladness <08057>.

2Ch 30:24 For Hezekiah <02396> king <04428> of Judah <03063>
did give <07311> (8689) to the congregation <06951> a thousand
<0505> bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> thousand <0505> sheep
<06629>; and the princes <08269> gave <07311> (8689) to the
congregation <06951> a thousand <0505> bullocks < 06499> and ten
<06235> thousand <0505> sheep <06629>: and a great number
<07230> of priests <03548> sanctified <06942> (8691) themselves.

2Ch 30:25 And all the congregation <06951> of Judah < 03063>,
with the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and all the
congregation <06951> that came out <0935> (8802) of Israel
<03478>, and the strangers <01616> that came out < 0935> (8802)
of the land <0776> of Israel <03478>, and that dwelt <03427>
(8802) in Judah <03063>, rejoiced <08055> (8799).

2Ch 30:26 So there was great <01419> joy <08057> in Jerusalem
<03389>: for since the time <03117> of Solomon < 08010> the son
<01121> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478> there
was not the like in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 30:27 Then the priests <03548> the Levites < 03881> arose
<06965> (8799) and blessed <01288> (8762) the people <05971>:
and their voice <06963> was heard <08085> (8735), and their
prayer <08605> came <0935> (8799) up to his holy < 06944>
dwelling place <04583>, even unto heaven <08064>.

2Ch 31:01 ¶ Now when all this was finished <03615> (8763), all
Israel <03478> that were present <04672> (8737) went out <03318>
(8804) to the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and brake <07665>
<00> the images <04676> in pieces <07665> (8762), and cut down
<01438> (8762) the groves <0842>, and threw down < 05422> (8762)
the high places <01116> and the altars <04196> out of all Judah
<03063> and Benjamin <01144>, in Ephraim <0669> also and
Manasseh <04519>, until they had utterly destroyed < 03615>
(8763) them all. Then all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>
returned <07725> (8799), every man <0376> to his possession
<0272>, into their own cities <05892>.

2Ch 31:02 And Hezekiah <03169> appointed <05975> (8686) the
courses <04256> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>
after their courses <04256>, every man <0376> according <06310>
to his service <05656>, the priests <03548> and Levites <03881>
for burnt offerings <05930> and for peace offerings < 08002>, to
minister <08334> (8763), and to give thanks <03034> (8687), and
to praise <01984> (8763) in the gates <08179> of the tents
<04264> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:03 He appointed also the king’s <04428> portion < 04521>
of his substance <07399> for the burnt offerings < 05930>, to wit,
for the morning <01242> and evening <06153> burnt offerings
<05930>, and the burnt offerings <05930> for the sabbaths
<07676>, and for the new moons <02320>, and for the set feasts
<04150>, as it is written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of
the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:04 Moreover he commanded <0559> (8799) the people
<05971> that dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem < 03389> to give
<05414> (8800) the portion <04521> of the priests < 03548> and
the Levites <03881>, that they might be encouraged < 02388>
(8799) in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 31:05 And as soon as the commandment <01697> came abroad
<06555> (8800), the children <01121> of Israel < 03478> brought
<0935> (8689) in abundance <07235> (8689) the firstfruits
<07225> of corn <01715>, wine <08492>, and oil <03323>, and
honey <01706>, and of all the increase <08393> of the field
<07704>; and the tithe <04643> of all things brought <0935>
(8689) they in abundantly <07230>.

2Ch 31:06 And concerning the children <01121> of Israel <03478>
and Judah <03063>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the cities
<05892> of Judah <03063>, they also brought in < 0935> (8689) the
tithe <04643> of oxen <01241> and sheep <06629>, and the tithe
<04643> of holy things <06944> which were consecrated <06942>
(8794) unto the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and laid <05414>
(8799) them by heaps <06194> <06194>.

2Ch 31:07 In the third <07992> month <02320> they began <02490>
(8689) to lay the foundation <03245> (8800) of the heaps <06194>,
and finished <03615> (8765) them in the seventh < 07637> month
<02320>.

2Ch 31:08 And when Hezekiah <03169> and the princes < 08269>
came <0935> (8799) and saw <07200> (8799) the heaps <06194>,
they blessed <01288> (8762) the LORD <03068>, and his people
<05971> Israel <03478>.

2Ch 31:09 Then Hezekiah <03169> questioned <01875> (8799) with
the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> concerning the heaps
<06194>.

2Ch 31:10 And Azariah <05838> the chief <07218> priest <03548>
of the house <01004> of Zadok <06659> answered < 0559> (8799) him,
and said <0559> (8799), Since the people began < 02490> (8687)
to bring <0935> (8687) the offerings <08641> into the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068>, we have had enough < 07646> (8800)
to eat <0398> (8800), and have left <03498> (8687) plenty
<07230>: for the LORD <03068> hath blessed < 01288> (8765) his
people <05971>; and that which is left <03498> (8737) is this
great store <01995>.

2Ch 31:11 ¶ Then Hezekiah <03169> commanded <0559> (8799) to
prepare <03559> (8687) chambers <03957> in the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068>; and they prepared <03559> (8686) them,

2Ch 31:12 And brought in <0935> (8686) the offerings < 08641>
and the tithes <04643> and the dedicated <06944> things
faithfully <0530>: over which Cononiah <03562> the Levite
<03881> was ruler <05057>, and Shimei <08096> his brother <0251>
was the next <04932>.

2Ch 31:13 And Jehiel <03171>, and Azaziah <05812>, and Nahath
<05184>, and Asahel <06214>, and Jerimoth < 03406>, and Jozabad
<03107>, and Eliel <0447>, and Ismachiah <03253> , and Mahath
<04287>, and Benaiah <01141>, were overseers < 06496> under the
hand <03027> of Cononiah <03562> and Shimei < 08096> his brother
<0251>, at the commandment <04662> of Hezekiah < 03169> the king
<04428>, and Azariah <05838> the ruler <05057> of the house
<01004> of God <0430>.

2Ch 31:14 And Kore <06981> the son <01121> of Imnah <03232> the
Levite <03881>, the porter <07778> toward the east <04217>, was
over the freewill offerings <05071> of God <0430>, to distribute
<05414> (8800) the oblations <08641> of the LORD < 03068>, and
the most <06944> holy things <06944>.

2Ch 31:15 And next him were Eden <05731>, and Miniamin < 04509>,
and Jeshua <03442>, and Shemaiah <08098>, Amariah < 0568>, and
Shecaniah <07935>, in the cities <05892> of the priests <03548>,
in their set office <0530>, to give <05414> (8800) to their
brethren <0251> by <03027> courses <04256>, as well to the great
<01419> as to the small <06996>:

2Ch 31:16 Beside their genealogy <03187> (8692) of males
<02145>, from three <07969> years <08141> old <01121> and upward
<04605>, even unto every one that entereth <0935> (8802) into
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, his daily < 03117> <03117>
portion <01697> for their service <05656> in their charges
<04931> according to their courses <04256>;

2Ch 31:17 Both to the genealogy <03187> (8692) of the priests
<03548> by the house <01004> of their fathers < 01>, and the
Levites <03881> from twenty <06242> years < 08141> old <01121>
and upward <04605>, in their charges <04931> by their courses
<04256>;

2Ch 31:18 And to the genealogy <03187> (8692) of all their
little ones <02945>, their wives <0802>, and their sons <01121>,
and their daughters <01323>, through all the congregation
<06951>: for in their set office <0530> they sanctified <06942>
(8691) themselves in holiness <06944>:

2Ch 31:19 Also of the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> the priests
<03548>, which were in the fields <07704> of the suburbs <04054>
of their cities <05892>, in every several city <05892> , the men
<0582> that were expressed <05344> (8738) by name < 08034>, to
give <05414> (8800) portions <04490> to all the males <02145>
among the priests <03548>, and to all that were reckoned by
genealogies <03187> (8692) among the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 31:20 And thus did <06213> (8799) Hezekiah < 03169>
throughout all Judah <03063>, and wrought <06213> (8799) that
which was good <02896> and right <03477> and truth <0571> before
<06440> the LORD <03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 31:21 And in every work <04639> that he began < 02490>
(8689) in the service <05656> of the house <01004> of God <0430>,
and in the law <08451>, and in the commandments < 04687>, to
seek <01875> (8800) his God <0430>, he did < 06213> (8804) it
with all his heart <03824>, and prospered <06743> (8689).

2Ch 32:01 ¶ After <0310> these things <01697>, and the
establishment <0571> thereof, Sennacherib <05576> king <04428>
of Assyria <0804> came <0935> (8804), and entered < 0935> (8799)
into Judah <03063>, and encamped <02583> (8799) against the
fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892>, and thought < 0559> (8799)
to win <01234> (8800) them for himself.

2Ch 32:02 And when Hezekiah <03169> saw <07200> (8799) that
Sennacherib <05576> was come <0935> (8804), and that he was
purposed <06440> to fight <04421> against Jerusalem <03389>,

2Ch 32:03 He took counsel <03289> (8735) with his princes
<08269> and his mighty men <01368> to stop < 05640> (8800) the
waters <04325> of the fountains <05869> which were without
<02351> the city <05892>: and they did help < 05826> (8799) him.

2Ch 32:04 So there was gathered <06908> <00> much <07227>
people <05971> together <06908> (8735), who stopped <05640>
(8799) all the fountains <04599>, and the brook < 05158> that ran
<07857> (8802) through the midst <08432> of the land <0776>,
saying <0559> (8800), Why should the kings <04428> of Assyria
<0804> come <0935> (8799), and find <04672> (8804) much <07227>
water <04325>?

2Ch 32:05 Also he strengthened <02388> (8691) himself, and
built up <01129> (8799) all the wall <02346> that was broken
<06555> (8803), and raised it up <05927> (8686) to the towers
<04026>, and another <0312> wall <02346> without <02351>, and
repaired <02388> (8762) Millo <04407> in the city < 05892> of
David <01732>, and made <06213> (8799) darts < 07973> and shields
<04043> in abundance <07230>.

2Ch 32:06 And he set <05414> (8799) captains <08269> of war
<04421> over the people <05971>, and gathered them together
<06908> (8799) to him in the street <07339> of the gate <08179>
of the city <05892>, and spake <01696> (8762) comfortably
<03824> to them, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 32:07 Be strong <02388> (8798) and courageous < 0553> (8798),
be not afraid <03372> (8799) nor dismayed <02865> (8735) for
<06440> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>, nor for all the
multitude <01995> that is with him: for there be more < 07227>
with us than with him:

2Ch 32:08 With him is an arm <02220> of flesh <01320> ; but with
us is the LORD <03068> our God <0430> to help < 05826> (8800) us,
and to fight <03898> (8736) our battles <04421>. And the people
<05971> rested <05564> (8735) themselves upon the words <01697>
of Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah < 03063>.

2Ch 32:09 ¶ After <0310> this did Sennacherib <05576> king
<04428> of Assyria <0804> send <07971> (8804) his servants
<05650> to Jerusalem <03389>, (but he himself laid siege against
Lachish <03923>, and all his power <04475> with him,) unto
Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and unto all
Judah <03063> that were at Jerusalem <03389>, saying <0559>
(8800),

2Ch 32:10 Thus saith <0559> (8804) Sennacherib < 05576> king
<04428> of Assyria <0804>, Whereon do ye trust < 0982> (8802),
that ye abide <03427> (8802) in the siege <04692> in Jerusalem
<03389>?

2Ch 32:11 Doth not Hezekiah <03169> persuade <05496> (8688) you
to give <05414> (8800) over yourselves to die <04191> (8800) by
famine <07458> and by thirst <06772>, saying < 0559> (8800), The
LORD <03068> our God <0430> shall deliver < 05337> (8686) us out
of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>?

2Ch 32:12 Hath not the same Hezekiah <03169> taken away <05493>
(8689) his high places <01116> and his altars <04196>, and
commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>,
saying <0559> (8800), Ye shall worship <07812> (8691) before
<06440> one <0259> altar <04196>, and burn incense <06999>
(8686) upon it?

2Ch 32:13 Know <03045> (8799) ye not what I and my fathers <01>
have done <06213> (8804) unto all the people <05971> of other
lands <0776>? were the gods <0430> of the nations < 01471> of
those lands <0776> any ways <03201> (8800) able < 03201> (8804)
to deliver <05337> (8687) their lands <0776> out of mine hand
<03027>?

2Ch 32:14 Who was there among all the gods <0430> of those
nations <01471> that my fathers <01> utterly destroyed <02763>
(8689), that could <03201> (8804) deliver <05337> (8687) his
people <05971> out of mine hand <03027>, that your God <0430>
should be able <03201> (8799) to deliver <05337> (8687) you out
of mine hand <03027>?

2Ch 32:15 Now therefore let not <03808> Hezekiah < 02396>
deceive <05377> (8686) you, nor persuade <05496> (8686) you on
this manner, neither yet believe <0539> (8686) him: for no god
<0433> of any nation <01471> or kingdom <04467> was able <03201>
(8799) to deliver <05337> (8687) his people <05971> out of mine
hand <03027>, and out of the hand <03027> of my fathers <01>:
how much less shall your God <0430> deliver <05337> (8686) you
out of mine hand <03027>?

2Ch 32:16 And his servants <05650> spake <01696> (8765) yet
more against the LORD <03068> God <0430>, and against his
servant <05650> Hezekiah <03169>.

2Ch 32:17 He wrote <03789> (8804) also letters < 05612> to rail
<02778> (8763) on the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,
and to speak <0559> (8800) against him, saying <0559> (8800), As
the gods <0430> of the nations <01471> of other lands <0776>
have not delivered <05337> (8689) their people <05971> out of
mine hand <03027>, so shall not the God <0430> of Hezekiah
<03169> deliver <05337> (8686) his people < 05971> out of mine
hand <03027>.

2Ch 32:18 Then they cried <07121> (8799) with a loud < 01419>
voice <06963> in the Jews’ speech <03066> unto the people
<05971> of Jerusalem <03389> that were on the wall <02346>, to
affright <03372> (8763) them, and to trouble <0926> (8763) them;
that they might take <03920> (8799) the city <05892>.

2Ch 32:19 And they spake <01696> (8762) against < 05921> the God
<0430> of Jerusalem <03389>, as against the gods < 0430> of the
people <05971> of the earth <0776>, which were the work <04639>
of the hands <03027> of man <0120>.

2Ch 32:20 And for this cause Hezekiah <03169> the king < 04428>,
and the prophet <05030> Isaiah <03470> the son < 01121> of Amoz
<0531>, prayed <06419> (8691) and cried <02199> (8799) to heaven
<08064>.

2Ch 32:21 And the LORD <03068> sent <07971> (8799) an angel
<04397>, which cut off <03582> (8686) all the mighty men <01368>
of valour <02428>, and the leaders <05057> and captains <08269>
in the camp <04264> of the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>. So he
returned <07725> (8799) with shame <01322> of face <06440> to
his own land <0776>. And when he was come <0935> (8799) into the
house <01004> of his god <0430>, they that came forth <03329> of
his own bowels <04578> slew <05307> (8689) him there with the
sword <02719>.

2Ch 32:22 Thus the LORD <03068> saved <03467> (8686) Hezekiah
<03169> and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>
from the hand <03027> of Sennacherib <05576> the king <04428> of
Assyria <0804>, and from the hand <03027> of all other, and
guided <05095> (8762) them on every side <05439>.

2Ch 32:23 And many <07227> brought <0935> (8688) gifts <04503>
unto the LORD <03068> to Jerusalem <03389>, and presents <04030>
to Hezekiah <03169> king <04428> of Judah < 03063>: so that he
was magnified <05375> (8735) in the sight <05869> of all nations
<01471> from thenceforth <0310>.

2Ch 32:24 ¶ In those days <03117> Hezekiah <03169> was sick
<02470> (8804) to the death <04191> (8800), and prayed <06419>
(8691) unto the LORD <03068>: and he spake <0559> (8799) unto
him, and he gave <05414> (8804) him a sign <04159>.

2Ch 32:25 But Hezekiah <03169> rendered not again < 07725>
(8689) according to the benefit <01576> done unto him; for his
heart <03820> was lifted up <01361> (8804): therefore there was
wrath <07110> upon him, and upon Judah <03063> and Jerusalem
<03389>.

2Ch 32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah <03169> humbled < 03665>
(8735) himself for the pride <01363> of his heart < 03820>, both
he and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389>, so
that the wrath <07110> of the LORD <03068> came < 0935> (8804)
not upon them in the days <03117> of Hezekiah <03169>.

2Ch 32:27 And Hezekiah <03169> had exceeding <03966> much
<07235> (8687) riches <06239> and honour <03519> : and he made
<06213> (8804) himself treasuries <0214> for silver <03701>, and
for gold <02091>, and for precious <03368> stones < 068>, and for
spices <01314>, and for shields <04043>, and for all manner of
pleasant <02532> jewels <03627>;

2Ch 32:28 Storehouses <04543> also for the increase < 08393> of
corn <01715>, and wine <08492>, and oil <03323>; and stalls
<0723> for all manner of beasts <0929>, and cotes < 0220> for
flocks <05739>.

2Ch 32:29 Moreover he provided <06213> (8804) him cities
<05892>, and possessions <04735> of flocks < 06629> and herds
<01241> in abundance <07230>: for God <0430> had given <05414>
(8804) him substance <07399> very <03966> much < 07227>.

2Ch 32:30 This same Hezekiah <03169> also stopped < 05640>
(8804) the upper <05945> watercourse <04161> < 04325> of Gihon
<01521>, and brought it straight <03474> (8762) down <04295> to
the west side <04628> of the city <05892> of David <01732>. And
Hezekiah <03169> prospered <06743> (8686) in all his works
<04639>.

2Ch 32:31 Howbeit <03651> in the business of the ambassadors
<03887> (8688) of the princes <08269> of Babylon < 0894>, who
sent <07971> (8764) unto him to enquire <01875> (8800) of the
wonder <04159> that was done in the land <0776>, God <0430> left
<05800> (8804) him, to try <05254> (8763) him, that he might
know <03045> (8800) all that was in his heart <03824>.

2Ch 32:32 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Hezekiah
<03169>, and his goodness <02617>, behold, they are written
<03789> (8803) in the vision <02377> of Isaiah < 03470> the
prophet <05030>, the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>, and in the book
<05612> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063> and Israel <03478>.

2Ch 32:33 And Hezekiah <03169> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in the chiefest
<04608> of the sepulchres <06913> of the sons < 01121> of David
<01732>: and all Judah <03063> and the inhabitants <03427>
(8802) of Jerusalem <03389> did him <06213> (8804) honour
<03519> at his death <04194>. And Manasseh < 04519> his son
<01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 33:01 ¶ Manasseh <04519> was twelve <08147> < 06240> years
<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800), and
he reigned <04427> (8804) fifty <02572> and five < 02568> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>:

2Ch 33:02 But did <06213> (8799) that which was evil < 07451> in
the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, like unto the
abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471>, whom the LORD
<03068> had cast out <03423> (8689) before < 06440> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:03 For he built <01129> (8799) again <07725> (8799) the
high places <01116> which Hezekiah <03169> his father <01> had
broken down <05422> (8765), and he reared up <06965> (8686)
altars <04196> for Baalim <01168>, and made < 06213> (8799)
groves <0842>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) all the host
<06635> of heaven <08064>, and served <05647> (8799) them.

2Ch 33:04 Also he built <01129> (8804) altars <04196> in the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, whereof the LORD <03068> had
said <0559> (8804), In Jerusalem <03389> shall my name <08034>
be for ever <05769>.

2Ch 33:05 And he built <01129> (8799) altars <04196> for all
the host <06635> of heaven <08064> in the two < 08147> courts
<02691> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> .

2Ch 33:06 And he caused <05674> <00> his children <01121> to
pass through <05674> (8689) the fire <0784> in the valley
<01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>: also he observed
times <06049> (8782), and used enchantments <05172> (8765), and
used witchcraft <03784> (8765), and dealt <06213> (8804) with a
familiar spirit <0178>, and with wizards <03049>: he wrought
<06213> (8800) much <07235> (8689) evil <07451> in the sight
<05869> of the LORD <03068>, to provoke him to anger <03707>
(8687).

2Ch 33:07 And he set <07760> (8799) a carved image < 06459>, the
idol <05566> which he had made <06213> (8804), in the house
<01004> of God <0430>, of which God <0430> had said <0559>
(8804) to David <01732> and to Solomon <08010> his son <01121>,
In this house <01004>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, which I have
chosen <0977> (8804) before all the tribes <07626> of Israel
<03478>, will I put <07760> (8799) my name < 08034> for ever
<05865>:

2Ch 33:08 Neither will I any more <03254> (8686) remove <05493>
(8687) the foot <07272> of Israel <03478> from out <05921> of
the land <0127> which I have appointed <05975> (8689) for your
fathers <01>; so that <0518> they will take heed < 08104> (8799)
to do <06213> (8800) all that I have commanded <06680> (8765)
them, according to the whole law <08451> and the statutes
<02706> and the ordinances <04941> by the hand < 03027> of Moses
<04872>.

2Ch 33:09 So Manasseh <04519> made <08582> <00> Judah <03063>
and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389> to err
<08582> (8686), and to do <06213> (8800) worse < 07451> than the
heathen <01471>, whom the LORD <03068> had destroyed <08045>
(8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:10 And the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8762) to Manasseh
<04519>, and to his people <05971>: but they would not hearken
<07181> (8689).

2Ch 33:11 ¶ Wherefore the LORD <03068> brought <0935> (8686)
upon them the captains of <08269> the host of <06635> the king
<04428> of Assyria <0804>, which took <03920> (8799) Manasseh
<04519> among the thorns <02336>, and bound him < 0631> (8799)
with fetters <05178>, and carried <03212> (8686) him to Babylon
<0894>.

2Ch 33:12 And when he was in affliction <06887> (8687), he
besought <02470> (8765) the LORD <03068> his God < 0430>, and
humbled <03665> (8735) himself greatly <03966> before <06440>
the God <0430> of his fathers <01>,

2Ch 33:13 And prayed <06419> (8691) unto him: and he was
intreated <06279> (8735) of him, and heard <08085> (8799) his
supplication <08467>, and brought him again <07725> (8686) to
Jerusalem <03389> into his kingdom <04438>. Then Manasseh
<04519> knew <03045> (8799) that the LORD < 03068> he was God
<0430>.

2Ch 33:14 Now after this <0310> he built <01129> (8804) a wall
<02346> without <02435> the city <05892> of David <01732>, on
the west side <04628> of Gihon <01521>, in the valley <05158>,
even to the entering in <0935> (8800) at the fish < 01709> gate
<08179>, and compassed <05437> (8804) about Ophel < 06077>, and
raised it up <01361> (8686) a very great height < 03966>, and put
<07760> (8799) captains <08269> of war <02428> in all the fenced
<01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>.

2Ch 33:15 And he took away <05493> (8686) the strange < 05236>
gods <0430>, and the idol <05566> out of the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068>, and all the altars <04196> that he had built
<01129> (8804) in the mount <02022> of the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, and in Jerusalem <03389>, and cast < 07993> (8686)
them out <02351> of the city <05892>.

2Ch 33:16 And he repaired <01129> (8799) the altar < 04196> of
the LORD <03068>, and sacrificed <02076> (8799) thereon peace
<08002> offerings <02077> and thank offerings < 08426>, and
commanded <0559> (8799) Judah <03063> to serve < 05647> (8800)
the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:17 Nevertheless <061> the people <05971> did sacrifice
<02076> (8802) still in the high places <01116>, yet unto the
LORD <03068> their God <0430> only.

2Ch 33:18 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Manasseh
<04519>, and his prayer <08605> unto his God < 0430>, and the
words <01697> of the seers <02374> that spake < 01696> (8764) to
him in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of Israel
<03478>, behold, they are written in the book <01697> of the
kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.

2Ch 33:19 His prayer <08605> also, and how God was intreated
<06279> (8736) of him, and all his sin <02403>, and his trespass
<04604>, and the places <04725> wherein he built < 01129> (8804)
high places <01116>, and set up <05975> (8689) groves <0842> and
graven images <06456>, before <06440> he was humbled <03665>
(8736): behold, they are written <03789> (8803) among the
sayings <01697> of the seers <02374> (8676) < 02335>.

2Ch 33:20 So Manasseh <04519> slept <07901> (8799) with his
fathers <01>, and they buried <06912> (8799) him in his own
house <01004>: and Amon <0526> his son <01121> reigned <04427>
(8799) in his stead.

2Ch 33:21 ¶ Amon <0526> was two <08147> and twenty <06242> years
<08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800), and
reigned <04427> (8804) two <08147> years <08141> in Jerusalem
<03389>.

2Ch 33:22 But he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451>
in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, as did < 06213> (8804)
Manasseh <04519> his father <01>: for Amon < 0526> sacrificed
<02076> (8765) unto all the carved images <06456> which Manasseh
<04519> his father <01> had made <06213> (8804), and served
<05647> (8799) them;

2Ch 33:23 And humbled <03665> (8738) not himself before <06440>
the LORD <03068>, as Manasseh <04519> his father < 01> had
humbled <03665> (8736) himself; but Amon <0526> trespassed
<0819> more and more <07235> (8689).

2Ch 33:24 And his servants <05650> conspired <07194> (8799)
against him, and slew <04191> (8686) him in his own house
<01004>.

2Ch 33:25 But the people <05971> of the land <0776> slew
<05221> (8686) all them that had conspired <07194> (8802)
against king <04428> Amon <0526>; and the people < 05971> of the
land <0776> made <04427> <00> Josiah < 02977> his son <01121>
king <04427> (8686) in his stead.

2Ch 34:01 ¶ Josiah <02977> was eight <08083> years <08141> old
<01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned
<04427> (8804) in Jerusalem <03389> one <0259> and thirty
<07970> years <08141>.

2Ch 34:02 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right
<03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> , and walked
<03212> (8799) in the ways <01870> of David < 01732> his father
<01>, and declined <05493> (8804) neither to the right hand
<03225>, nor to the left <08040>.

2Ch 34:03 For in the eighth <08083> year <08141> of his reign
<04427> (8800), while he was yet young <05288>, he began <02490>
(8689) to seek <01875> (8800) after the God <0430> of David
<01732> his father <01>: and in the twelfth < 08147> <06240> year
<08141> he began <02490> (8689) to purge <02891> (8763) Judah
<03063> and Jerusalem <03389> from the high places <01116>, and
the groves <0842>, and the carved images <06456>, and the molten
images <04541>.

2Ch 34:04 And they brake down <05422> (8762) the altars <04196>
of Baalim <01168> in his presence <06440>; and the images
<02553>, that were on high above them <04605>, he cut down
<01438> (8765); and the groves <0842>, and the carved images
<06456>, and the molten images <04541>, he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765), and made dust <01854> (8689) of them, and
strowed <02236> (8799) it upon <06440> the graves < 06913> of
them that had sacrificed <02076> (8802) unto them.

2Ch 34:05 And he burnt <08313> (8804) the bones < 06106> of the
priests <03548> upon their altars <04196>, and cleansed <02891>
(8762) Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:06 And so did he in the cities <05892> of Manasseh
<04519>, and Ephraim <0669>, and Simeon <08095>, even unto
Naphtali <05321>, with their mattocks <02719> round about
<05439>.

2Ch 34:07 And when he had broken down <05422> (8762) the altars
<04196> and the groves <0842>, and had beaten < 03807> (8765) the
graven images <06456> into powder <01854> (8687), and cut down
<01438> (8765) all the idols <02553> throughout all the land
<0776> of Israel <03478>, he returned <07725> (8799) to
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:08 ¶ Now in the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141>
of his reign <04427> (8800), when he had purged < 02891> (8763)
the land <0776>, and the house <01004>, he sent < 07971> (8804)
Shaphan <08227> the son <01121> of Azaliah < 0683>, and Maaseiah
<04641> the governor <08269> of the city <05892> , and Joah
<03098> the son <01121> of Joahaz <03099> the recorder <02142>
(8688), to repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004> of the LORD
<03068> his God <0430>.

2Ch 34:09 And when they came <0935> (8799) to Hilkiah < 02518>
the high <01419> priest <03548>, they delivered < 05414> (8799)
the money <03701> that was brought <0935> (8716) into the house
<01004> of God <0430>, which the Levites <03881> that kept
<08104> (8802) the doors <05592> had gathered < 0622> (8804) of
the hand <03027> of Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim < 0669>, and of
all the remnant <07611> of Israel <03478>, and of all Judah
<03063> and Benjamin <01144>; and they returned < 07725> (8799)
(8675) <03427> (8802) to Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:10 And they put <05414> (8799) it in the hand < 03027> of
the workmen <06213> (8802) <04399> that had the oversight
<06485> (8716) of the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>, and
they gave <05414> (8799) it to the workmen <06213> (8802)
<04399> that wrought <06213> (8802) in the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, to repair <0918> (8800) and amend < 02388> (8763)
the house <01004>:

2Ch 34:11 Even to the artificers <02796> and builders < 01129>
(8802) gave <05414> (8799) they it, to buy <07069> (8800) hewn
<04274> stone <068>, and timber <06086> for couplings <04226>,
and to floor <07136> (8763) the houses <01004> which the kings
<04428> of Judah <03063> had destroyed <07843> (8689).

2Ch 34:12 And the men <0582> did <06213> (8802) the work
<04399> faithfully <0530>: and the overseers < 05329> (8763) of
them were Jahath <03189> and Obadiah <05662>, the Levites
<03881>, of the sons <01121> of Merari <04847>; and Zechariah
<02148> and Meshullam <04918>, of the sons of the Kohathites
<06956>, to set it forward <06485> (8716); and other of the
Levites <03881>, all that could skill <0995> (8688) of
instruments <03627> of musick <07892>.

2Ch 34:13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens < 05449>,
and were overseers <05329> (8764) of all that wrought < 06213>
(8802) the work <04399> in any manner of service < 05656>: and of
the Levites <03881> there were scribes <05608> (8802), and
officers <07860> (8802), and porters <07778>.

2Ch 34:14 ¶ And when they brought out <03318> (8687) the money
<03701> that was brought into <0935> (8716) the house <01004> of
the LORD <03068>, Hilkiah <02518> the priest < 03548> found
<04672> (8804) a book <05612> of the law <08451> of the LORD
<03068> given by <03027> Moses <04872>.

2Ch 34:15 And Hilkiah <02518> answered <06030> (8799) and said
<0559> (8799) to Shaphan <08227> the scribe < 05608> (8802), I
have found <04672> (8804) the book <05612> of the law <08451> in
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And Hilkiah <02518>
delivered <05414> (8799) the book <05612> to Shaphan <08227>.

2Ch 34:16 And Shaphan <08227> carried <0935> (8686) the book
<05612> to the king <04428>, and brought <07725> <00> the king
<04428> word <01697> back <07725> (8686) again, saying <0559>
(8800), All that was committed <05414> (8738) to < 03027> thy
servants <05650>, they do <06213> (8802) it.

2Ch 34:17 And they have gathered together <05413> (8686) the
money <03701> that was found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004>
of the LORD <03068>, and have delivered <05414> (8799) it into
the hand <03027> of the overseers <06485> (8716), and to the
hand <03027> of the workmen <06213> (8802) < 04399>.

2Ch 34:18 Then Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802) told
<05046> (8686) the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), Hilkiah
<02518> the priest <03548> hath given <05414> (8804) me a book
<05612>. And Shaphan <08227> read <07121> (8799) it before
<06440> the king <04428>.

2Ch 34:19 And it came to pass, when the king <04428> had heard
<08085> (8800) the words <01697> of the law < 08451>, that he
rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>.

2Ch 34:20 And the king <04428> commanded <06680> (8762) Hilkiah
<02518>, and Ahikam <0296> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>,
and Abdon <05658> the son <01121> of Micah < 04318>, and Shaphan
<08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), and Asaiah < 06222> a servant
<05650> of the king’s <04428>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 34:21 Go <03212> (8798), enquire <01875> (8798) of the LORD
<03068> for me, and for them that are left <07604> (8737) in
Israel <03478> and in Judah <03063>, concerning the words
<01697> of the book <05612> that is found < 04672> (8738): for
great <01419> is the wrath <02534> of the LORD < 03068> that is
poured out <05413> (8738) upon us, because our fathers < 01> have
not kept <08104> (8804) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, to
do <06213> (8800) after all that is written <03789> (8803) in
this book <05612>.

2Ch 34:22 And Hilkiah <02518>, and they that the king < 04428>
had appointed, went <03212> (8799) to Huldah <02468> the
prophetess <05031>, the wife <0802> of Shallum < 07967> the son
<01121> of Tikvath <08616> (8676) <08445>, the son <01121> of
Hasrah <02641>, keeper <08104> (8802) of the wardrobe <0899>;
(now she dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem <03389> in the
college <04932>:) and they spake <01696> (8762) to her to that
effect.

2Ch 34:23 And she answered <0559> (8799) them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>,
Tell <0559> (8798) ye the man <0376> that sent < 07971> (8804)
you to me,

2Ch 34:24 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I
will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon this place <04725>,
and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof, even all the
curses <0423> that are written <03789> (8803) in the book
<05612> which they have read <07121> (8804) before <06440> the
king <04428> of Judah <03063>:

2Ch 34:25 Because they have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and
have burned incense <06999> (8762) (8675) <06999> (8686) unto
other <0312> gods <0430>, that they might provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687) with all the works <04639> of their hands <03027>;
therefore my wrath <02534> shall be poured out < 05413> (8799)
upon this place <04725>, and shall not be quenched < 03518>
(8799).

2Ch 34:26 And as for <0413> the king <04428> of Judah <03063>,
who sent <07971> (8802) you to enquire <01875> (8800) of the
LORD <03068>, so shall ye say <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>
concerning the words <01697> which thou hast heard < 08085>
(8804);

2Ch 34:27 Because thine heart <03824> was tender < 07401> (8804),
and thou didst humble <03665> (8735) thyself before < 06440> God
<0430>, when thou heardest <08085> (8800) his words <01697>
against this place <04725>, and against the inhabitants < 03427>
(8802) thereof, and humbledst <03665> (8735) thyself before
<06440> me, and didst rend <07167> (8799) thy clothes <0899>,
and weep <01058> (8799) before <06440> me; I have even heard
<08085> (8804) thee also, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 34:28 Behold, I will gather <0622> (8802) thee to thy
fathers <01>, and thou shalt be gathered <0622> (8738) to thy
grave <06913> in peace <07965>, neither shall thine eyes <05869>
see <07200> (8799) all the evil <07451> that I will bring <0935>
(8688) upon this place <04725>, and upon the inhabitants <03427>
(8802) of the same. So they brought <07725> <00> the king
<04428> word <01697> again <07725> (8686).

2Ch 34:29 ¶ Then the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) and
gathered together <0622> (8799) all the elders <02205> of Judah
<03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 34:30 And the king <04428> went up <05927> (8799) into the
house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and all the men <0376> of
Judah <03063>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem
<03389>, and the priests <03548>, and the Levites < 03881>, and
all the people <05971>, great <01419> and small < 06996>: and he
read <07121> (8799) in their ears <0241> all the words <01697>
of the book <05612> of the covenant <01285> that was found
<04672> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>.

2Ch 34:31 And the king <04428> stood <05975> (8799) in his
place <05977>, and made <03772> (8799) a covenant < 01285> before
<06440> the LORD <03068>, to walk <03212> (8800) after <0310>
the LORD <03068>, and to keep <08104> (8800) his commandments
<04687>, and his testimonies <05715>, and his statutes <02706>,
with all his heart <03824>, and with all his soul < 05315>, to
perform <06213> (8800) the words <01697> of the covenant <01285>
which are written <03789> (8803) in this book <05612>.

2Ch 34:32 And he caused all that were present <04672> (8737) in
Jerusalem <03389> and Benjamin <01144> to stand < 05975> (8686)
to it. And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389>
did <06213> (8799) according to the covenant <01285> of God
<0430>, the God <0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 34:33 And Josiah <02977> took away <05493> (8686) all the
abominations <08441> out of all the countries <0776> that
pertained to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and made
all that were present <04672> (8737) in Israel <03478> to serve
<05647> (8686), even to serve <05647> (8800) the LORD <03068>
their God <0430>. And all his days <03117> they departed <05493>
(8804) not from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, the God
<0430> of their fathers <01>.

2Ch 35:01 ¶ Moreover Josiah <02977> kept <06213> (8799) a
passover <06453> unto the LORD <03068> in Jerusalem <03389>: and
they killed <07819> (8799) the passover <06453> on the
fourteenth <0702> <06240> day of the first < 07223> month <02320>.

2Ch 35:02 And he set <05975> (8686) the priests < 03548> in
their charges <04931>, and encouraged <02388> (8762) them to the
service <05656> of the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>,

2Ch 35:03 And said <0559> (8799) unto the Levites < 03881> that
taught <0995> (8688) (8675) <04000> all Israel < 03478>, which
were holy <06918> unto the LORD <03068>, Put < 05414> (8798) the
holy <06944> ark <0727> in the house <01004> which Solomon
<08010> the son <01121> of David <01732> king <04428> of Israel
<03478> did build <01129> (8804); it shall not be a burden
<04853> upon your shoulders <03802>: serve < 05647> (8798) now
the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and his people < 05971> Israel
<03478>,

2Ch 35:04 And prepare <03559> (8685) (8675) <03559> (8734)
yourselves by the houses <01004> of your fathers <01>, after
your courses <04256>, according to the writing <03791> of David
<01732> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, and according to the
writing <04385> of Solomon <08010> his son < 01121>.

2Ch 35:05 And stand in <05975> (8798) the holy < 06944> place
according to the divisions <06391> of the families < 01004> of
the fathers <01> of your brethren <0251> the people <01121>
<05971>, and after the division <02515> of the families <01>
<01004> of the Levites <03881>.

2Ch 35:06 So kill <07819> (8798) the passover <06453> , and
sanctify <06942> (8690) yourselves, and prepare < 03559> (8685)
your brethren <0251>, that they may do <06213> (8800) according
to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of
Moses <04872>.

2Ch 35:07 And Josiah <02977> gave <07311> (8686) to the people
<01121> <05971>, of the flock <06629>, lambs <03532> and kids
<01121> <05795>, all for the passover offerings < 06453>, for all
that were present <04672> (8737), to the number < 04557> of
thirty <07970> thousand <0505>, and three < 07969> thousand
<0505> bullocks <01241>: these were of the king’s < 04428>
substance <07399>.

2Ch 35:08 And his princes <08269> gave <07311> (8689) willingly
<05071> unto the people <05971>, to the priests < 03548>, and to
the Levites <03881>: Hilkiah <02518> and Zechariah <02148> and
Jehiel <03171>, rulers <05057> of the house < 01004> of God
<0430>, gave <05414> (8804) unto the priests < 03548> for the
passover offerings <06453> two thousand <0505> and six <08337>
hundred <03967> small cattle, and three <07969> hundred <03967>
oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:09 Conaniah <03562> also, and Shemaiah <08098> and
Nethaneel <05417>, his brethren <0251>, and Hashabiah <02811>
and Jeiel <03273> and Jozabad <03107>, chief < 08269> of the
Levites <03881>, gave <07311> (8689) unto the Levites <03881>
for passover offerings <06453> five <02568> thousand <0505>
small cattle, and five <02568> hundred <03967> oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:10 So the service <05656> was prepared <03559> (8735),
and the priests <03548> stood <05975> (8799) in their place
<05977>, and the Levites <03881> in their courses < 04256>,
according to the king’s <04428> commandment <04687>.

2Ch 35:11 And they killed <07819> (8799) the passover < 06453>,
and the priests <03548> sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood from
their hands <03027>, and the Levites <03881> flayed <06584>
(8688) them.

2Ch 35:12 And they removed <05493> (8686) the burnt offerings
<05930>, that they might give <05414> (8800) according to the
divisions <04653> of the families <01> <01004> of the people
<01121> <05971>, to offer <07126> (8687) unto the LORD <03068>,
as it is written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of Moses
<04872>. And so did they with the oxen <01241>.

2Ch 35:13 And they roasted <01310> (8762) the passover < 06453>
with fire <0784> according to the ordinance <04941>: but the
other holy <06944> offerings sod <01310> (8765) they in pots
<05518>, and in caldrons <01731>, and in pans < 06745>, and
divided them speedily <07323> (8686) among all the people
<01121> <05971>.

2Ch 35:14 And afterward <0310> they made ready < 03559> (8689)
for themselves, and for the priests <03548>: because the priests
<03548> the sons <01121> of Aaron <0175> were busied in offering
<05927> (8687) of burnt offerings <05930> and the fat <02459>
until night <03915>; therefore the Levites <03881> prepared
<03559> (8689) for themselves, and for the priests < 03548> the
sons <01121> of Aaron <0175>.

2Ch 35:15 And the singers <07891> (8789) the sons < 01121> of
Asaph <0623> were in their place <04612>, according to the
commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and Asaph < 0623>, and
Heman <01968>, and Jeduthun <03038> the king’s < 04428> seer
<02374>; and the porters <07778> waited at every gate <08179>;
they might not depart <05493> (8800) from their service < 05656>;
for their brethren <0251> the Levites <03881> prepared <03559>
(8689) for them.

2Ch 35:16 So all the service <05656> of the LORD < 03068> was
prepared <03559> (8735) the same day <03117>, to keep <06213>
(8800) the passover <06453>, and to offer <05927> (8687) burnt
offerings <05930> upon the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>,
according to the commandment <04687> of king <04428> Josiah
<02977>.

2Ch 35:17 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> that were
present <04672> (8737) kept <06213> (8799) the passover <06453>
at that time <06256>, and the feast <02282> of unleavened bread
<04682> seven <07651> days <03117>.

2Ch 35:18 And there was no passover <06453> like < 03644> to
that kept <06213> (8738) in Israel <03478> from the days <03117>
of Samuel <08050> the prophet <05030>; neither did <06213>
(8804) all the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> keep <06213>
(8804) such a passover <06453> as Josiah <02977> kept <06213>
(8804), and the priests <03548>, and the Levites < 03881>, and
all Judah <03063> and Israel <03478> that were present <04672>
(8737), and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem < 03389>.

2Ch 35:19 In the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year < 08141> of the
reign <04438> of Josiah <02977> was this passover < 06453> kept
<06213> (8738).

2Ch 35:20 ¶ After <0310> all this, when Josiah <02977> had
prepared <03559> (8689) the temple <01004>, Necho < 05224> king
<04428> of Egypt <04714> came up <05927> (8804) to fight <03898>
(8736) against Carchemish <03751> by Euphrates <06578> : and
Josiah <02977> went out <03318> (8799) against < 07125> (8800)
him.

2Ch 35:21 But he sent <07971> (8799) ambassadors < 04397> to him,
saying <0559> (8800), What have I to do with thee, thou king
<04428> of Judah <03063>? I come not against thee this day
<03117>, but against the house <01004> wherewith I have war
<04421>: for God <0430> commanded <0559> (8804) me to make haste
<0926> (8763): forbear <02308> (8798) thee from meddling with
God <0430>, who is with me, that he destroy <07843> (8686) thee
not.

2Ch 35:22 Nevertheless Josiah <02977> would not turn < 05437>
(8689) his face <06440> from him, but disguised < 02664> (8694)
himself, that he might fight <03898> (8736) with him, and
hearkened <08085> (8804) not unto the words <01697> of Necho
<05224> from the mouth <06310> of God <0430>, and came <0935>
(8799) to fight <03898> (8736) in the valley <01237> of Megiddo
<04023>.

2Ch 35:23 And the archers <03384> (8802) shot <03384> (8686) at
king <04428> Josiah <02977>; and the king < 04428> said <0559>
(8799) to his servants <05650>, Have me away <05674> (8685); for
I am sore <03966> wounded <02470> (8717).

2Ch 35:24 His servants <05650> therefore took <05674> (8686)
him out of that chariot <04818>, and put <07392> (8686) him in
the second <04932> chariot <07393> that he had; and they brought
<03212> (8686) him to Jerusalem <03389>, and he died <04191>
(8799), and was buried <06912> (8735) in one of the sepulchres
<06913> of his fathers <01>. And all Judah < 03063> and Jerusalem
<03389> mourned <056> (8693) for Josiah <02977>.

2Ch 35:25 And Jeremiah <03414> lamented <06969> (8787) for
Josiah <02977>: and all the singing men <07891> (8802) and the
singing women <07891> (8802) spake <0559> (8799) of Josiah
<02977> in their lamentations <07015> to this day < 03117>, and
made <05414> (8799) them an ordinance <02706> in Israel <03478>:
and, behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the lamentations
<07015>.

2Ch 35:26 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Josiah
<02977>, and his goodness <02617>, according to that which was
written <03789> (8803) in the law <08451> of the LORD <03068>,

2Ch 35:27 And his deeds <01697>, first <07223> and last <0314>,
behold, they are written <03789> (8803) in the book < 05612> of
the kings <04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah < 03063>.

2Ch 36:01 ¶ Then the people <05971> of the land <0776> took
<03947> (8799) Jehoahaz <03059> the son <01121> of Josiah
<02977>, and made him king <04427> (8686) in his father’s <01>
stead in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:02 Jehoahaz <03099> was twenty <06242> and three <07969>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> months <02320> in
Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:03 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> put him down
<05493> (8686) at Jerusalem <03389>, and condemned <06064>
(8799) the land <0776> in an hundred <03967> talents <03603> of
silver <03701> and a talent <03603> of gold < 02091>.

2Ch 36:04 And the king <04428> of Egypt <04714> made Eliakim
<0471> his brother <0251> king <04427> (8686) over Judah <03063>
and Jerusalem <03389>, and turned <05437> (8686) his name
<08034> to Jehoiakim <03079>. And Necho <05224> took <03947>
(8804) Jehoahaz <03099> his brother <0251>, and carried <0935>
(8686) him to Egypt <04714>.

2Ch 36:05 Jehoiakim <03079> was twenty <06242> and five <02568>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and he reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> < 06240> years
<08141> in Jerusalem <03389>: and he did <06213> (8799) that
which was evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>
his God <0430>.

2Ch 36:06 Against him came up <05927> (8804) Nebuchadnezzar
<05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and bound <0631> (8799)
him in fetters <05178>, to carry <03212> (8687) him to Babylon
<0894>.

2Ch 36:07 Nebuchadnezzar <05019> also carried <0935> (8689) of
the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> to
Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> (8799) them in his temple
<01964> at Babylon <0894>.

2Ch 36:08 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jehoiakim
<03079>, and his abominations <08441> which he did <06213>
(8804), and that which was found <04672> (8737) in him, behold,
they are written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the kings
<04428> of Israel <03478> and Judah <03063>: and Jehoiachin
<03078> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.

2Ch 36:09 Jehoiachin <03078> was eight <08083> years <08141>
old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he
reigned <04427> (8804) three <07969> months < 02320> and ten
<06235> days <03117> in Jerusalem <03389>: and he did <06213>
(8799) that which was evil <07451> in the sight < 05869> of the
LORD <03068>.

2Ch 36:10 And when the year <08141> was expired < 08666>, king
<04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> sent <07971> (8804), and brought
<0935> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>, with the goodly <02532>
vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the LORD < 03068>, and
made Zedekiah <06667> his brother <0251> king < 04427> (8686)
over Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:11 ¶ Zedekiah <06667> was one <0259> and twenty <06242>
years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign < 04427> (8800),
and reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> <06240> years <08141>
in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:12 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451>
in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> his God < 0430>, and
humbled <03665> (8738) not himself before <06440> Jeremiah
<03414> the prophet <05030> speaking from the mouth <06310> of
the LORD <03068>.

2Ch 36:13 And he also rebelled <04775> (8804) against king
<04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019>, who had made him swear <07650>
(8689) by God <0430>: but he stiffened <07185> (8686) his neck
<06203>, and hardened <0553> (8762) his heart < 03824> from
turning <07725> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> God < 0430> of
Israel <03478>.

2Ch 36:14 Moreover all the chief <08269> of the priests <03548>,
and the people <05971>, transgressed <04603> (8800) very
<04604> much <07235> (8689) after all the abominations <08441>
of the heathen <01471>; and polluted <02930> (8762) the house
<01004> of the LORD <03068> which he had hallowed < 06942> (8689)
in Jerusalem <03389>.

2Ch 36:15 And the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>
sent <07971> (8799) to them by <03027> his messengers <04397>,
rising up betimes <07925> (8687), and sending <07971> (8800);
because he had compassion <02550> (8804) on his people < 05971>,
and on his dwelling place <04583>:

2Ch 36:16 But they mocked <03931> (8688) the messengers <04397>
of God <0430>, and despised <0959> (8802) his words <01697>, and
misused <08591> (8700) his prophets <05030>, until the wrath
<02534> of the LORD <03068> arose <05927> (8800) against his
people <05971>, till there was no remedy <04832>.

2Ch 36:17 Therefore he brought <05927> (8686) upon them the
king <04428> of the Chaldees <03778>, who slew < 02026> (8799)
their young men <0970> with the sword <02719> in the house
<01004> of their sanctuary <04720>, and had no compassion
<02550> (8804) upon young man <0970> or maiden < 01330>, old man
<02205>, or him that stooped for age <03486>: he gave <05414>
(8804) them all into his hand <03027>.

2Ch 36:18 And all the vessels <03627> of the house < 01004> of
God <0430>, great <01419> and small <06996>, and the treasures
<0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the
treasures <0214> of the king <04428>, and of his princes <08269>;
all these he brought <0935> (8689) to Babylon <0894>.

2Ch 36:19 And they burnt <08313> (8799) the house < 01004> of
God <0430>, and brake down <05422> (8762) the wall <02346> of
Jerusalem <03389>, and burnt <08313> (8804) all the palaces
<0759> thereof with fire <0784>, and destroyed < 07843> (8687)
all the goodly <04261> vessels <03627> thereof.

2Ch 36:20 And them that had escaped <07611> from the sword
<02719> carried he away <01540> (8686) to Babylon < 0894>; where
they were servants <05650> to him and his sons <01121> until the
reign <04427> (8800) of the kingdom <04438> of Persia <06539>:

2Ch 36:21 To fulfil <04390> (8763) the word <01697> of the LORD
<03068> by the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414> , until the land
<0776> had enjoyed <07521> (8804) her sabbaths < 07676>: for as
long as <03117> she lay desolate <08074> (8715) she kept sabbath
<07673> (8804), to fulfil <04390> (8763) threescore and ten
<07657> years <08141>.

2Ch 36:22 ¶ Now in the first <0259> year <08141> of Cyrus
<03566> king <04428> of Persia <06539>, that the word <01697> of
the LORD <03068> spoken by the mouth <06310> of Jeremiah <03414>
might be accomplished <03615> (8800), the LORD <03068> stirred
up <05782> (8689) the spirit <07307> of Cyrus < 03566> king
<04428> of Persia <06539>, that he made a proclamation <05674>
(8686) <06963> throughout all his kingdom <04438>, and put it
also in writing <04385>, saying <0559> (8800),

2Ch 36:23 Thus saith <0559> (8804) Cyrus <03566> king <04428>
of Persia <06539>, All the kingdoms <04467> of the earth <0776>
hath the LORD <03068> God <0430> of heaven < 08064> given <05414>
(8804) me; and he hath charged <06485> (8804) me to build
<01129> (8800) him an house <01004> in Jerusalem < 03389>, which
is in Judah <03063>. Who is there among you of all his people
<05971>? The LORD <03068> his God <0430> be with him, and let
him go up <05927> (8799).
