7:13	If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among myMy people;,
7:14	ifand myMy people, who are called by myMy name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek myMy face, and turn from their wicked ways;, then I will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
7:15	Now mineMy eyes shall be open, and mineMy ears attent,attentive untoto the prayer thatoffered is made in this place.
7:16	For now I have I chosen and hallowedconsecrated this house, that myMy name may be there forforever, ever; and mineMy eyes and myMy heart shallwill be there perpetually.
7:17	And as for theeyou, if thouyou wilt walk before meMe as Davidyour thy father David walked, andeven to do according to all that I have commanded thee,you and wiltwill keep myMy statutes and mineMy ordinances;,
7:18	then I will establish theyour royal throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with Davidyour thyfather fatherDavid, saying, ThereYou shall not faillack thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
7:19	But if yeyou turn away, and forsake myMy statutes and myMy commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;,
7:20	then will I pluckwill themuproot upyou byfrom theMy roots out of my land which I have given them;you, and this house, which I have hallowedconsecrated for myMy name, I will I cast out of myMy sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
7:21	AndAs for this house, which iswas so highexalted, everyeveryone onewho thatpasses passeth by it shallwill be astonished, and shall say, Why hathhas Jehovahthe Lord done thus untoto this land, and to this house?
7:22	And they shallwill answersay, Because they forsook Jehovahthe Lord, the God of their fathers, who brought them forthfrom out of the land of Egypt, and laidthey holdadopted on other gods, and worshippedworshiped them, and served them:, therefore hathHe hehas brought all this eviladversity uponon them.
8:1	AndNow it came toabout pass at the end of the twenty years, whereinin which Solomon had built the house of Jehovah,the Lord and his own house,
8:2	that he built the cities which Huram had given to Solomonhim, Solomon built them, and causedsettled the childrensons of Israel to dwell there.
8:3	AndThen Solomon went to Hamath zobah, and prevailedcaptured against it.
8:4	And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storestorage cities, which he had built in Hamath.
8:5	AlsoHe healso built upper Beth horon theand upper,lower and Beth horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
8:6	and Baalath, and all the storestorage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land ofunder his dominionrule.
8:7	AsAll forof all the people thatwho were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, thatwho were not of Israel;,
8:8	ofnamely, from their childrendescendants thatwho were left after them in the land, whom the childrensons of Israel consumedhad not destroyed, of them did Solomon raiseraised aas levyforced oflaborers bondservantsto unto this day.
8:9	But ofSolomon thedid childrennot ofmake Israelslaves didfor Solomonhis makework nofrom servantsthe forsons hisof workIsrael; but they were men of war, andhis chief of his captains, and rulerscommanders of his chariots and of his horsemen.
8:10	And these were the chief officers of kingKing Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, thatwho bareruled rule over the people.
8:11	AndThen Solomon brought upPharaohs the daughter ofup Pharaohfrom out of the city of David untoto the house thatwhich he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereuntowhere the ark of Jehovahthe hathLord comehas entered.
8:12	Then Solomon offered burnt offerings untoto Jehovahthe Lord on the altar of Jehovah,the Lord which he had built before the porch,;
8:13	evenand asdid theso dutyaccording ofto everythe daydaily requiredrule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, onfor the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three timesannual infeasts the year,Feast even in the feast of unleavenedUnleavened breadBread, and in the feastFeast of weeksWeeks, and in the feastFeast of tabernaclesBooths.
8:14	AndNow he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father David, he appointed the coursesdivisions of the priests tofor their service, and the Levites tofor their offices,duties toof praise, and toministering minister before the priests, asaccording to the dutydaily ofrule, everyand day required; the doorkeepersgatekeepers also by their coursesdivisions at every gate:; for so had David the man of God had so commanded.
8:15	And they departeddid not depart from the commandment of the king untoto the priests and Levites concerningin any matter,manner or concerning the treasuresstorehouses.
8:16	NowThus all the work of Solomon was preparedcarried untoout from the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovahthe Lord, and until it was finished. So the house of Jehovahthe Lord was completed.
8:17	Then Solomon went Solomon to Ezion geber, and to Eloth, on the seaseashore shore in the land of Edom.
8:18	And Huram sent him by thehis handsservants ofsent hishim servants ships, and servants thatwho hadknew knowledge of the sea; and they camewent with theSolomons servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetchedtook from thencethere four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to kingKing Solomon.
9:1	AndNow when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to proveJerusalem to test Solomon with harddifficult questions. atShe Jerusalem,had with a very greatlarge trainretinue, andwith camels thatcarrying bare spices, and golda inlarge abundance,amount of gold and precious stones:; and when she wascame come to Solomon, she communedspoke with him ofabout all that was inon her heart.
9:2	And Solomon toldanswered her all her questions; andnothing there was nothidden anything hid from Solomon which he tolddid not explain to her not.
9:3	And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house thatwhich he had built,
9:4	and the food ofat his table, and the sittingseating of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparelattire, his cupbearers also, and their apparelattire, and his ascentstairway by which he went up untoto the house of Jehovah;the thereLord, she was no more spirit in herbreathless.
9:5	AndThen she said to the king, It was a true report thatwhich I heard in minemy own land ofabout thineyour acts,words and ofyour thy wisdom.
9:6	HowbeitNevertheless I believeddid not believe their words,reports until I came, and minemy eyes had seen it;. and,And behold, the half of the greatness of thyyour wisdom was not told me:. thouYou exceedestsurpass the famereport that I heard.
9:7	HappyHow blessed are thyyour men, andhow happyblessed are these thyyour servants, thatwho stand continually before thee,you continually and hear thyyour wisdom.
9:8	Blessed be Jehovahthe thyLord your God, who delighted in theeyou, tosetting setyou thee on hisHis throne, toas be king for Jehovahthe thyLord your God:; because thyyour God loved Israel, toestablishing establish them for everforever, therefore He made heyou thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness.
9:9	AndThen she gave the king aone hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spicesa invery great abundance,amount of spices and precious stones:; neitherthere washad therenever anybeen such spice aslike that which the queen of Sheba gave to kingKing Solomon.
9:10	And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, thatwho brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
9:11	And from the kingalgum made of the algumking treesmade terracessteps for the house of Jehovah,the Lord and for the kings housepalace, and harpslyres and psalteriesharps for the singers:; and therenone werelike nonethat suchwas seen before in the land of Judah.
9:12	And kingKing Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoeverwhich she asked,requested besides thata whichreturn for what she had brought untoto the king. SoThen she turned, and went to her own land, shewith and her servants.
9:13	Now the weight of gold thatwhich came to Solomon in one year was six666 hundred and threescore and six talents of gold,
9:14	besides that which the traders and merchants brought:; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
9:15	And kingKing Solomon made two200 hundredlarge bucklersshields of beaten gold;, sixusing hundred600 shekels of beaten gold wenton toeach onelarge bucklershield.
9:16	And he made three300 hundred shields of beaten gold;, using three hundred shekels of gold wenton toeach one shield:, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
9:17	Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
9:18	And there were six steps to the throne, withand a footstool ofin gold, whichattached were fastened to the throne, and staysarms on eithereach side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the staysarms.
9:19	And twelve lions stoodwere standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; uponnothing thelike sixit steps: there was not the like made infor any other kingdom.
9:20	And all kingKing Solomons drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold:; silver was nothingnot accountedconsidered ofvaluable in the days of Solomon.
9:21	For the king had ships thatwhich went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, came bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
9:22	So kingKing Solomon exceededbecame greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
9:23	And all the kings of the earth soughtwere seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
9:24	And they brought every man his tributegift, vesselsarticles of silver, and vessels of gold, and raimentgarments, armorweapons, and spices, horses, and mules, aso ratemuch year by year.
9:25	AndNow Solomon had four4,000 thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve12,000 thousand horsemen, thatand he bestowedstationed them in the chariot cities, and with the king atin Jerusalem.
9:26	And he ruledwas the ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates River even untoto the land of the Philistines, and toas far as the border of Egypt.
9:27	And the king made silver toas becommon as stones in Jerusalem as stones, and cedarshe made hecedars toas beplentiful as thesycamore sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
9:28	And they broughtwere bringing horses for Solomon outfrom of Egypt, and outfrom of all landscountries.
9:29	Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first andto last, are they not written in the historyrecords of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
9:30	And Solomon reigned forty years in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
9:31	And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: David; and Rehoboam his son Rehoboam reigned in his steadplace.
10:1	AndThen Rehoboam went to Shechem;, for all Israel werehad come to Shechem to make him king.
10:2	And it came toabout pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it for he was in Egypt, whitherwhere he had fled from the presence of kingKing Solomon, that Jeroboam returned outfrom of Egypt.
10:3	AndSo they sent and calledsummoned him;. andWhen Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spakespoke to Rehoboam, saying,
10:4	ThyYour father made our yoke grievous:hard; now therefore makelighten thou the grievoushard service of thyyour father, and his heavy yoke which he put uponon us, lighter, and we will serve theeyou.
10:5	And he said untoto them, ComeReturn againto unto me afteragain in three days. AndSo the people departed.
10:6	AndThen kingKing Rehoboam tookconsulted counsel with the oldelders men,who that had stoodserved before Solomon his father Solomon while he yetwas livedstill alive, saying, WhatHow counseldo giveyou yecounsel me to return answer to this people?
10:7	And they spakespoke untoto him, saying, If thouyou will be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thyyour servants for everforever.
10:8	But he forsook the counsel of the oldelders men which they had given him, and tookconsulted counsel with the young men thatwho weregrew grown up with him, thatand stoodserved before him.
10:9	AndSo he said untoto them, What counsel do you give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, MakeLighten the yoke thatwhich thyyour father did put uponon us lighter?
10:10	And the young men thatwho weregrew grown up with him spakespoke untoto him, saying, Thus shaltyou thoushall say untoto the people thatwho spakespoke untoto theeyou, saying, ThyYour father made our yoke heavy, but you make thou it lighter untofor us;. thusThus shaltyou thoushall say untoto them, My little finger is thicker than my fathers loins.!
10:11	AndWhereas now whereas my father didloaded lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke:; my father chastiseddisciplined you with whips, but I will chastisediscipline you with scorpions.
10:12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king badehad directed, saying, ComeReturn to me againon the third day.
10:13	And the king answered them roughly;harshly, and kingKing Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,elders.
10:14	andAnd spakehe spoke to them afteraccording to the counseladvice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto:to it; my father chastiseddisciplined you with whips, but I will chastisediscipline you with scorpions.
10:15	So the king hearkeneddid not untolisten to the people;, for it was broughta aboutturn of events from God, that Jehovahthe Lord might establish hisHis word, which heHe spakespoke bythrough Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
10:16	And when all Israel saw that the king hearkeneddid not untolisten to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion havedo we have in David? neitherWe have weno inheritance in the son of Jesse:. everyEvery man to your tents, O Israel:; nowNow seelook toafter thineyour own house, David. So all Israel departed untoto their tents.
10:17	But as for the childrensons of Israel thatwho dweltlived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
10:18	Then kingKing Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the menforced subjectlabor, to taskwork; and the childrensons of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And kingKing Rehoboam made speedhaste to getmount him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
10:19	So Israel rebelledhas been in rebellion against the house of David untoto this day.
11:1	AndNow when Rehoboam washad come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a180,000 hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, thatwho were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bringrestore the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
11:2	But the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
11:3	Speak untoto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
11:4	Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, YeYou shall not go up, noror fight against your brethren:relatives; return every man to his house;, for this thing is offrom meMe. So they hearkenedlistened untoto the words of Jehovah,the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam.
11:5	And Rehoboam dweltlived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defencedefense in Judah.
11:6	HeThus he built Beth lehemBethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
11:7	And Beth zur, and Soco, and Adullam,
11:8	and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
11:9	and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
11:10	and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are fortified cities in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.
11:11	AndHe healso fortifiedstrengthened the strongholds,fortresses and put captainsofficers in them, and stores of victualsfood, and oil and wine.
11:12	And in every city he put shields and spears, in every city and madestrengthened them exceeding stronggreatly. AndSo he held Judah and Benjamin belonged to him.
11:13	AndMoreover, the priests and the Levites thatwho were in all Israel resortedstood towith him outfrom of all their borderdistricts.
11:14	For the Levites left their suburbspasture lands and their possession,property and came to Judah and Jerusalem:, for Jeroboam and his sons casthad excluded them off,from thatserving theyas shouldpriests notto execute the priests office unto Jehovah;Lord.
11:15	andAnd he appointedset himup priests of his own for the high places, and for the he goatssatyrs, and for the calves which he had made.
11:16	And afterthose them,from out of all the tribes of Israel, suchwho as set their hearts toon seekseeking Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, camefollowed them to Jerusalem to sacrifice untoto Jehovah, the Lord God of their fathers.
11:17	SoAnd they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and madesupported Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong,for three years;, for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
11:18	AndThen Rehoboam took himas a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;,
11:19	and she barebore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
11:20	And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom;, and she barebore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
11:21	And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom abovemore than all his other wives and his concubines. forFor he tookhad taken eighteen wives, and threescoresixty concubines, and begatfathered twenty and eight sons and threescoresixty daughters.
11:22	And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah toas behead chief,and evenleader the prince among his brethren;brothers, for he wasintended minded to make him king.
11:23	And he dealtacted wisely, and disperseddistributed some of all his sons throughoutthrough all the landsterritories of Judah and Benjamin, untoto everyall the fortified city:cities, and he gave them victualsfood in abundance. And he sought many wives for them many wives.
12:1	AndIt ittook cameplace to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he and all Israel with him forsook the law of Jehovah,the and all Israel with himLord.
12:2	And it came toabout pass in theKing Rehoboams fifth year, ofbecause kingthey Rehoboamhad been unfaithful to the Lord, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Jehovah,
12:3	with twelve1,200 hundred chariots, and threescore60,000 thousand horsemen. And the people werewho without number that came with him outfrom ofEgypt Egyptwere without number: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
12:4	And he tookcaptured the fortified cities whichof pertained to Judah, and came untoas far as Jerusalem.
12:5	NowThen Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, thatwho werehad gathered togetherat to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said untoto them, Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, YeYou have forsaken meMe, thereforeso have I also lefthave forsaken you into the hand of Shishak.
12:6	ThenSo the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, JehovahThe Lord is righteous.
12:7	And when Jehovahthe Lord saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: so I will not destroy them;, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and myMy wrath shall not be poured out uponon Jerusalem by themeans hand of Shishak.
12:8	NeverthelessBut they shallwill bebecome his servants,slaves so that they may knowlearn mythe difference between My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
12:9	So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah,the Lord and the treasures of the kings house:palace. heHe took alleverything; away: he even took awaythe alsogolden the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
12:10	AndThen kingKing Rehoboam made inshields theirof steadbronze shieldsin oftheir brassplace, and committed them to the handscare of the captainscommanders of the guard, thatwho keptguarded the door of the kings house.
12:11	And it washappened so, that, as oftoften as the king entered into the house of Jehovahthe Lord, the guardguards came and barecarried them, and then brought them back into the guardguards chamberroom.
12:12	And when he humbled himself, the wrathanger of Jehovahthe Lord turned away from him, so as not to destroy him altogether:completely; and moreoveralso inconditions Judah there were good thingsin foundJudah.
12:13	So kingKing Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned:. forNow Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovahthe Lord had chosen outfrom of all the tribes of Israel, to put hisHis name there:. andAnd his mothers name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
12:14	And he did that which was evil, because he setdid not set his heart to seek Jehovahthe Lord.
12:15	Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first andto last, are they not written in the historiesrecords of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, afteraccording theto mannergenealogical of genealogiesenrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
12:16	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David:; and Abijah his son reignedAbijah became king in his steadplace.
13:1	In the eighteenth year of kingKing Jeroboam, began Abijah tobecame reignking over Judah.
13:2	ThreeHe years reigned hethree years in Jerusalem:; and his mothers name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
13:3	And Abijah joinedbegan the battle with an army of valiant menwarriors, of war400,000 even four hundred thousand chosen men:, andwhile Jeroboam setdrew theup in battle information array against him with eight800,000 hundred thousand chosen men, who were mightyvaliant men of valorwarriors.
13:4	AndThen Abijah stood upon uponMount mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, HearListen to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:
13:5	OughtDo yeyou not to know that Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, gave the kingdomrule over Israel forever to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
13:6	Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his Lord.master,
13:7	Andand thereworthless weremen gathered untoabout him, worthless menscoundrels, basewho fellows,proved thattoo strengthenedstrong themselvesfor against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when Rehoboamhe was young and tendertimid hearted, and could not withstandhold his own against them.
13:8	AndSo now yeyou thinkintend to withstandresist the kingdom of Jehovah in the handLord ofthrough the sons of David;, andbeing ye are a great multitude, and therehaving are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made youfor gods for godsyou.
13:9	Have yeyou not driven out the priests of Jehovahthe Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made youfor yourselves priests afterlike the manner of the peoples of other lands? soWhoever thatcomes whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullockbull and seven rams, theeven samehe may bebecome a priest of themwhat that are no gods.
13:10	But as for us, Jehovahthe Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken himHim; and wethe havesons priestsof Aaron are ministering untoto Jehovah, the sonsLord ofas Aaronpriests, and the Levites inattend to their work:.
13:11	andAnd theyevery burnmorning untoand Jehovahevening everythey morningburn andto everythe eveningLord burnt offerings and sweetfragrant incense:, and the showbread alsois set theyon in order upon the pureclean table;, and the candlestickgolden oflampstand gold with theits lamps thereof,is ready to burnlight every evening:; for we keep the charge of Jehovahthe Lord our God;, but yeyou have forsaken himHim.
13:12	And,Now behold, God is with us at our head, and hisHis priests with the signal trumpets of alarm to sound anthe alarm against you. O childrensons of Israel, fightdo ye not fight against Jehovah, the Lord God of your fathers;, for yeyou shallwill not prospersucceed.
13:13	But Jeroboam causedhad set an ambushmentambush to come aboutfrom behindthe them:rear, so theythat wereIsrael beforewas in front of Judah, and the ambushmentambush was behind them.
13:14	AndWhen when Judah lookedturned backaround, behold, thethey battlewere wasattacked beforeboth front and behind themrear; andso they cried untoto Jehovahthe Lord, and the priests soundedblew with the trumpets.
13:15	Then the men of Judah gaveraised a shout:war cry, and aswhen the men of Judah shoutedraised the war cry, then it camewas to pass, that God smoterouted Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
13:16	And when the childrensons of Israel fled before Judah;, and God deliveredgave them into their hand.
13:17	And Abijah and his people slewdefeated them with a great slaughter:, so therethat fell500,000 downchosen slainmen of Israel fivefell hundred thousand chosen menslain.
13:18	Thus the childrensons of Israel were broughtsubdued under at that time, and the childrensons of Judah prevailed,conquered because they reliedtrusted uponin Jehovahthe Lord, the God of their fathers.
13:19	And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and tookcaptured cities from him several cities, BethBethel el with theits towns thereofvillages, and Jeshanah with theits towns thereofvillages, and Ephron with theits towns thereofvillages.
13:20	NeitherAnd Jeroboam did Jeroboamnot again recover strength again in the days of Abijah:; and Jehovahthe smoteLord struck him, and he died.
13:21	But Abijah waxedbecame mightypowerful, and took unto himself fourteen wives, to himself; and begatbecame twentythe andfather twoof twentytwo sons, and sixteen daughters.
13:22	AndNow the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings,words are written in the commentarytreatise of the prophet Iddo.
14:1	So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David;, and Asa his son reignedAsa became king in his steadplace. InThe his days the land was quietundisturbed for ten years during his days.
14:2	And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyessight of Jehovahthe Lord his God:,
14:3	for he tookremoved away the foreign altars, and the high places, andtore brake down the sacred pillars, andcut hewed down the Asherim,
14:4	and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the Lord God of their fathers, and to doobserve the law and the commandment.
14:5	AlsoHe healso tookremoved awaythe outhigh ofplaces alland the citiesincense ofaltars Judahfrom all the highcities placesof andJudah. theAnd sun images: and the kingdom was quietundisturbed beforeunder him.
14:6	And he built fortified cities in Judah;, forsince the land was quietundisturbed, and hethere hadwas no one at war inwith him during those years, because Jehovahthe Lord had given him rest.
14:7	For he said untoto Judah, Let us build these cities, and makesurround about them with walls, and towers, gates, and bars;. theThe land is yetstill before usours, because we have sought Jehovahthe Lord our God; we have sought himHim, and heHe hathhas given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
14:8	AndNow Asa had an army thatof bare300,000 bucklersfrom and spearsJudah, outbearing oflarge Judahshields threeand hundredspears, thousand; and out280,000 offrom Benjamin, thatbearing bare shields and drewwielding bows,; twoall hundredof andthem fourscore thousand: all these were mightyvaliant men of valorwarriors.
14:9	AndNow thereZerah the Ethiopian came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousandmillion thousand,men and three300 hundred chariots;, and he came untoto Mareshah.
14:10	ThenSo Asa went out to meet him, and they setdrew theup in battle information array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
14:11	AndThen Asa criedcalled untoto Jehovahthe Lord his God, and said, JehovahLord, there is noneno one besides theeThee to help, in the battle between the mightypowerful and himthose thatwho hathhave no strength:; so help us, O JehovahLord our God;, for we relytrust onin theeThee, and in thyThy name arehave we come against this multitude. O JehovahLord, thouThou art our God; let not man prevail against theeThee.
14:12	So Jehovahthe smoteLord routed the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah;, and the Ethiopians fled.
14:13	And Asa and the people thatwho were with him pursued them untoas far as Gerar:; and thereso fellmany of the Ethiopians sofell many that they could not recover, themselves; for they were destroyedshattered before Jehovahthe Lord, and before hisHis host;army. andAnd they carried away very much bootyplunder.
14:14	And they smotedestroyed all the cities roundaround about Gerar;, for the feardread of Jehovahthe cameLord uponhad fallen on them:; and they despoiled all the cities;, for there was much spoilplunder in them.

15:3	NowAnd for amany longdays season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:.
15:4	butBut when in their distress they turned untoto Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, and they sought himHim, heand wasHe foundlet ofthem themfind Him.

15:17	But the high places were not takenremoved awayfrom out of Israel:; nevertheless theAsas heart of Asa was perfectblameless all his days.
15:18	And he brought into the house of God the dedicated things thatof his father had dedicated, and thathis heown himselfdedicated hadthings: dedicated, silver, and gold, and vesselsutensils.
15:19	And there was no more war untountil the fivethirty andfifth thirtieth year of theAsas reign of Asa.
16:1	In the sixthirty andsixth thirtieth year of theAsas reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel wentcame up against Judah, and builtfortified Ramah, thatin heorder mightto notprevent sufferanyone anyfrom onegoing to go out or comecoming in to Asa king of Judah.
16:2	Then Asa brought out silver and gold outfrom of the treasurestreasuries of the house of Jehovahthe Lord and of the kings house, and sent them to Ben hadad king of SyriaAram, thatwho dweltlived atin Damascus, saying,
16:3	ThereLet isthere be a leaguetreaty between meyou and theeme, as there was between my father and thyyour father:. beholdBehold, I have sent theeyou silver and gold; go, break thyyour leaguetreaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he maywill departwithdraw from me.
16:4	AndSo Ben hadad hearkenedlistened untoto kingKing Asa, and sent the captainscommanders of his armies against the cities of Israel;, and they smoteconquered Ijon, and Dan, and Abel maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
16:5	And it came toabout pass, when Baasha heard thereof,of it that he leftceased offfortifying building Ramah, and letstopped his work cease.
16:6	Then King Asa thebrought king took all Judah;, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and theits timber thereof,with wherewithwhich Baasha had builded;been building, and with them he builtfortified therewith Geba and Mizpah.
16:7	AndAt at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said untoto him, Because thouyou hasthave relied on the king of Syria,Aram and hasthave not relied on Jehovahthe thyLord your God, therefore is the hostarmy of the king of SyriaAram has escaped out of thyyour hand.
16:8	Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim aan hugeimmense host,army with very many chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yetYet, because thouyou didstrelied rely on Jehovahthe Lord, heHe delivered them into thyyour hand.

HereinYou thouhave hastacted done foolishly; forin this. Indeed, from henceforthnow thouon shaltyou will surely have wars.
16:10	Then Asa was wrothangry with the seer, and put him in the prison, house; for he was inenraged aat rage with him becausefor of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
16:11	And, beholdnow, the acts of Asa, from first andto last, lobehold, they are written in the bookBook of the kingsKings of Judah and Israel.

18:13	AndBut Micaiah said, As Jehovahthe livethLord lives, what my God saithsays, that I will I speak.
18:14	And when he wascame come to the king, the king said untoto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth gilead to battle, or shall I forbearrefrain? AndHe he said, Go ye up, and prosper;succeed, andfor they shallwill be deliveredgiven into your hand.

21:7	HowbeitYet Jehovahthe wouldLord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant thatwhich heHe had made with David, and assince heHe had promised to give a lamp to him and to his childrensons alwayforever.
21:8	In his days Edom revolted fromagainst under the handrule of Judah, and madeset up a king over themselves.
21:9	Then Jehoram passedcrossed over with his captains,commanders and all his chariots with him:. andAnd it came about that he rosearose up by night, and smotestruck down the Edomites thatwho compassedwere surrounding him about, and the captainscommanders of the chariots.
21:10	So Edom revolted fromagainst under the hand of Judah untoto this day:. thenThen did Libnah revoltrevolted at the same time fromagainst under his handrule, because he had forsaken Jehovah, the Lord God of his fathers.
21:11	Moreover, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and madecaused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah astray.
21:12	AndThen therea letter came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of Davidyour thyfather fatherDavid, Because thouyou hasthave not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thyyour father, norand in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
21:13	but hasthave walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hasthave madecaused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab didplayed the harlot, and alsoyou hasthave slainalso thykilled brethrenyour ofbrothers, thyyour fathersown housefamily, who were better than thyself:you,
21:14	behold, Jehovahthe willLord smiteis withgoing ato greatstrike plagueyour thy people, andyour thy childrensons, andyour thy wives, and all thyyour substancepossessions with a great calamity;
21:15	and thouyou shaltwill havesuffer greatsevere sickness, bya disease of thyyour bowels, until thyyour bowels fallcome out bybecause reason of the sickness, day by day.
21:16	AndThen Jehovahthe Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the ArabiansArabs thatwho arebordered beside the Ethiopians:;
21:17	and they came up against Judah, and brakeinvaded into it, and carried away all the substancepossessions that was found in the kings house, andtogether with his sons also, and his wives;, so that thereno son was neverleft ato son left him, saveexcept Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
21:18	AndSo after all this Jehovahthe Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable diseasesickness.
21:19	AndNow it came toabout pass, in processthe course of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fellcame out bybecause reason of his sickness, and he died ofin soregreat diseasespain. And his people made no burningfire for him, like the burningfire offor his fathers.
21:20	ThirtyHe andwas thirty two years old was he when he beganbecame to reignking, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years:; and he departed withoutwith beingno desired;ones regret, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchrestombs of the kings.
22:1	AndThen the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his stead;place, for the band of men thatwho came with the ArabiansArabs to the camp had slain all the eldestolder sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reignedbegan to reign.
22:2	FortyAhaziah andwas twenty two years old was Ahaziah when he beganbecame toking, reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem:. andAnd his mothers name was Athaliah, the daughtergranddaughter of Omri.
22:3	He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab;, for his mother was his counsellorcounselor to do wickedly.
22:4	And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah,the asLord didlike the house of Ahab;, for they were his counsellorscounselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
22:5	He also walked alsoaccording afterto their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of SyriaAram at Ramoth gilead:. andBut the SyriansArameans wounded Joram.
22:6	AndSo he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had giveninflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of SyriaAram. And AzariahAhaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
22:7	Now the destruction of Ahaziah was offrom God, in that he went untoto Joram:. forFor when he was comecame, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovahthe Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
22:8	And it came toabout pass, when Jehu was executing judgment uponon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of theAhaziahs brethren of Ahaziahbrothers, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
22:9	AndHe healso sought Ahaziah, and they caught him nowwhile he was hiding in Samaria,; and they brought him to Jehu, andput slew him; to death, and they buried him,. forFor they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovahthe Lord with all his heart. AndSo there was no one of the house of Ahaziah hadto noretain the power toof hold the kingdom.
22:10	Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she aroserose and destroyed all the seed royal offspring of the house of Judah.
22:11	But Jehoshabeath, the kings daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the kings sons thatwho were slainbeing put to death, and putplaced him and his nurse in the bedchamberbedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of kingKing Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest for she was the sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she slewwould not put him notto death.
22:12	And he was hidden with them hid in the house of God six years: andwhile Athaliah reigned over the land.
23:1	AndNow in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds,: Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of JehohananJohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.
23:2	And they went aboutthroughout in Judah, and gathered the Levites outfrom of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers houseshouseholds of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
23:3	AndThen all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And heJehoiada said untoto them, Behold, the kings son shall reign, as Jehovahthe hathLord has spoken concerning the sons of David.
23:4	This is the thing thatwhich yeyou shall do: aone third part of you, thatof comethe inpriests onand theLevites sabbath,who ofcome thein priestson and of the Levitessabbath, shall be porters of the thresholds;gatekeepers,

23:8	So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded:. andAnd theyeach tookone everyof manthem took his men, thosewho that were to come in on the sabbath, with those thatwho were to go out on the sabbath;, for Jehoiada the priest dismisseddid not dismiss any of the coursesdivisions.
23:9	AndThen Jehoiada the priest deliveredgave to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers,the large and small shields, thatwhich had been kingKing Davids, which were in the house of God.
23:10	And he setstationed all the people, everyeach man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and by the house, byaround the king round about.
23:11	Then they brought out the kings son, and put the crown uponon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king:. andAnd Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, Long live the king.!
23:12	AndWhen when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came tointo the peoplehouse intoof the houseLord ofto Jehovah:the people.
23:13	andAnd she looked, and, behold, the king stoodwas standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpetstrumpeters bywere beside the king;. andAnd all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets;, the singers alsowith playedtheir onmusical instruments ofleading music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah renttore her clothes, and said, Treason! treasonTreason!

23:15	So they madeseized way for her;, and when she wentarrived toat the entrance of the horseHorse gateGate toof the kings house:, and they slewput her to death there.
23:16	AndThen Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovahsthe Lords people.
23:17	And all the people went to the house of Baal, and braketore it down, and brakethey broke in pieces his altars and his images in pieces, and slewkilled Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
23:18	AndMoreover, Jehoiada appointedplaced the officersoffices of the house of Jehovahthe Lord under the handauthority of the Levitical priests the Levites, whom David had distributedassigned inover the house of Jehovahthe Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovahthe Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

23:21	So all of the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. AndFor Athaliah they had slainput Athaliah to death with the sword.
24:1	Joash was seven years old when he beganbecame toking, reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem:; and his mothers name was Zibiah, offrom Beer shebaBeersheba.
24:2	And Joash did thatwhat which was right in the eyessight of Jehovahthe Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
24:3	And Jehoiada took two wives for him, two wives; and he begatbecame the father of sons and daughters.
24:4	AndNow it came toabout pass after this, that Joash wasdecided minded to restore the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
24:5	And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out untoto the cities of Judah, and gathercollect ofmoney from all Israel money to repair the house of your God fromannually, year to year; and seeyou thatshall yedo hasten the matter quickly. HowbeitBut the Levites hasteneddid itnot notact quickly.
24:6	AndSo the king calledsummoned for Jehoiada the chief, priest and said untoto him, Why hasthave thouyou not required of the Levites to bring in outfrom of Judah and outfrom of Jerusalem the taxlevy offixed by Moses the servant of Jehovah,the andLord ofon the assemblycongregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?
24:7	For the sons of Athaliah,the that wicked woman,Athaliah had broken upinto the house of God; and alsoeven allused the dedicatedholy things of the house of Jehovahthe didLord theyfor bestow upon the BaalimBaals.
24:8	So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it withoutoutside atby the gate of the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
24:9	And they made a proclamation throughin Judah and Jerusalem, to bring into forthe JehovahLord the taxlevy thatfixed by Moses the servant of God laidon upon Israel in the wilderness.
24:10	And all the princesofficers and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, their levies and castdropped them into the chest, until they had made an endfinished.
24:11	And it wascame so,about that,whenever at what time the chest was brought untoin to the kings officersofficer by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, then the kings scribe and the chief priests officer camewould andcome, emptiedempty the chest, andtake took it, and carriedreturn it to its place again. Thus they did daydaily byand day,collected andmuch gathered money in abundance.
24:12	And the king and Jehoiada gave it to suchthose aswho did the work of the service of the house of Jehovahthe Lord; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Jehovahthe Lord, and also suchworkers asin wrought iron and brassbronze to repair the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
24:13	So the workmen wroughtlabored, and the repair work ofprogressed repairing went forward in their hands, and they setrestored up the house of God inaccording to its statespecifications, and strengthened it.
24:14	And when they had made an endfinished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada,; whereofand wereit was made vesselsinto utensils for the house of Jehovahthe Lord, evenutensils vesselsfor wherewiththe toservice minister and tothe offerburnt offering, and spoons,pans and vesselsutensils of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of Jehovahthe Lord continually all the days of Jehoiada.
24:15	ButNow when Jehoiada waxedreached olda andripe wasold fullage of days, and he died; ahe was one hundred and thirty years old wasat hehis when he dieddeath.
24:16	And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done goodwell in Israel, and towardto God and hisHis house.
24:17	NowBut after the death of Jehoiada came the princesofficials of Judah, came and madebowed obeisancedown to the king., Thenand the king hearkenedlistened untoto them.
24:18	And they forsookabandoned the house of Jehovahthe Lord, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols:; andso wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltinessguilt.
24:19	Yet heHe sent prophets to them, to bring them againback untoto Jehovahthe Lord; andthough they testified against them:, but they would not give earlisten.
24:20	AndThen the Spirit of God came uponon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said untoto them, Thus saithGod Godhas said, Why do you transgress ye the commandments of Jehovah,the soLord thatand yedo cannotnot prosper? becauseBecause yeyou have forsaken Jehovahthe Lord, heHe hathhas also forsaken you.
24:21	AndSo they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandmentcommand of the king they stoned him to death in the court of the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
24:22	Thus Joash the king remembereddid not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father Jehoiada had doneshown to him, but slewhe murdered his son. And whenas he died, he said, JehovahMay lookthe uponLord it,see and require it.avenge!
24:23	AndNow it came toabout pass at the endturn of the year, that the army of the SyriansArameans came up against him:; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princesofficials of the people from among the people, and sent all thetheir spoil ofto them unto the king of Damascus.
24:24	ForIndeed the army of the SyriansArameans came with a small companynumber of men; andyet Jehovahthe Lord delivered a very great hostarmy into their handhands, because they had forsaken Jehovahthe Lord, the God of their fathers. SoThus they executed judgment uponon Joash.
24:25	And when they werehad departed from him for they left him very sick, his own servants conspired against him forbecause of the blood of the sonsson of Jehoiada the priest, and slewmurdered him on his bed,. andSo he died;, and they buried him in the city of David, but they burieddid not bury him not in the sepulchrestombs of the kings.
24:26	AndNow these are theythose thatwho conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
24:27	NowAs concerningto his sons, and the greatnessmany oforacles theagainst burdens laid upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentarytreatise of the bookBook of the kingsKings. AndThen Amaziah his son reignedbecame king in his steadplace.
25:1	Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he beganbecame toking, reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem:. andAnd his mothers name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
25:2	And he did that which was right in the eyessight of Jehovahthe Lord, butyet not with a perfectwhole heart.
25:3	Now it came toabout pass,as whensoon as the kingdom was establishedfirmly untoin himhis grasp, that he slewkilled his servants thatwho had killedslain his father the king his father.
25:4	ButHowever, he putdid not put their children to death, but did accordingas toit that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, aswhich Jehovahthe Lord commanded, saying, TheFathers fathers shall not diebe put to death for the childrensons, neithernor shallsons thebe childrenput dieto death for the fathers;, but everyeach man shall diebe put to death for his own sin.
25:5	Moreover, Amaziah gatheredassembled Judah together, and orderedappointed them according to their fathers houses,households under captainscommanders of thousands and captainscommanders of hundreds, eventhroughout all Judah and Benjamin:; and he numberedtook thema census of those from twenty years old and upward, and found them threeto hundredbe thousand300,000 chosenchoice men, able to go forth to war, thatand could handle spear and shield.
25:6	He hired also a100,000 hundredvaliant thousandwarriors mighty men of valor out of Israel for aone hundred talents of silver.
25:7	But there came a man of God came to him, saying, O king, letdo not let the army of Israel go with thee;you, for Jehovahthe Lord is not with Israel, tonor wit, with allany of the childrensons of Ephraim.
25:8	But if thouyou wiltdo go, do valiantlyit, be strong for the battle:; yet God will castbring theeyou down before the enemy;, for God hathhas power to help, and to castbring down.
25:9	And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the armytroops of Israel? And the man of God answered, JehovahThe isLord ablehas much more to give theeyou much more than this.
25:10	Then Amaziah separateddismissed them, to wit, the armytroops thatwhich wascame come to him outfrom of Ephraim, to go home; again:so wherefore their anger wasburned greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
25:11	AndNow Amaziah tookstrengthened couragehimself, and led forth his people forth, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smotestruck down 10,000 of the childrensons of Seir ten thousand.
25:12	AndThe othersons ten thousand did the children of Judah carryalso awaycaptured alive10,000 alive and brought them untoto the top of the rockcliff, and castthrew them down from the top of the rock,cliff so that they were all brokendashed into pieces.

25:14	Now it came toabout pass, after that Amaziah wascame come from theslaughtering slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the childrensons of Seir, and set them up toas be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense untoto them.
25:15	WhereforeThen the anger of Jehovahthe wasLord kindledburned against Amaziah, and heHe sent unto him a prophet, who said untoto him, Why hasthave thouyou sought after the gods of the people, whichwho have not delivered their own people outfrom ofyour thy hand?
25:16	And it came toabout pass, as he talkedwas talking with him, that the king said untoto him, Have we madeappointed theeyou ofa theroyal kings counselcounselor? forbear;Stop! whyWhy shouldestshould thouyou be smittenstruck down? Then the prophet forbare,stopped and said, I know that God hathhas determinedplanned to destroy theeyou, because thouyou hasthave done this, and hasthave not hearkenedlistened untoto my counsel.
25:17	Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice,counsel and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying, Come, let us lookface oneeach another in the faceother.
25:18	And Joash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistlethorn thatbush which was in Lebanon sent to the cedar thatwhich was in Lebanon, saying, Give thyyour daughter to my son toin wife:marriage. andBut there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trodtrampled down the thistlethorn bush.
25:19	ThouYou sayestsaid, LoBehold, thouyou hasthave smittendefeated Edom;. andAnd thyyour heart liftethhas theebecome upproud toin boast:boasting. abideNow nowstay at home; for why shouldestshould thouyou meddleprovoke totrouble thythat hurtyou, thateven thouyou, shouldestshould fall, even thou, and Judah with theeyou?
25:20	But Amaziah would not hear;listen, for it was offrom God, that heHe might deliver them into the hand of theirJoash enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
25:21	So Joash king of Israel went up;, and he and Amaziah king of Judah lookedfaced oneeach anotherother in the face at Beth shemeshBethshemesh, which belongethbelonged to Judah.
25:22	And Judah was putdefeated toby the worse before Israel;, and they fled everyeach man to his tent.

27:9	And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David:; and Ahaz his son reignedbecame king in his steadplace.

28:2	butBut he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel,; andhe also made also molten images for the BaalimBaals.
28:3	Moreover, he burntburned incense in the valley of theBen son of Hinnomhinnom, and burntburned his childrensons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovahthe castLord had driven out before the childrensons of Israel.
28:4	And he sacrificed and burntburned incense inon the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
28:5	Wherefore, Jehovahthe Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of SyriaAram; and they smotedefeated him, and carried away offrom hishim a great multitudenumber of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smoteinflicted him with aheavy great slaughtercasualties.
28:6	For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a120,000 hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men;, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the Lord God of their fathers.

28:8	And the childrensons of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand200,000 women, sons, and daughters,; and took also awaya muchgreat deal of spoil from them, and they brought the spoil to Samaria.
28:9	But a prophet of Jehovahthe Lord was there, whose name was Oded:; and he went out to meet the hostarmy thatwhich came to Samaria, and said untoto them, Behold, because Jehovahthe Lord, the God of your fathers, was wrothangry with Judah, heHe hathhas delivered them into your hand, and yeyou have slain them in a rage which hathhas even reached up unto heaven.
28:10	And now yeyou purposeare proposing to keepsubjugate underfor yourselves the childrenpeople of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmenmale and bondwomenfemale untoslaves. you:Surely, butdo areyou there not evenhave withtransgressions you trespasses of your own against Jehovahthe Lord your God?
28:11	Now heartherefore, listen to me therefore, and sendreturn back the captives, thatwhom yeyou havecaptured takenfrom captive of your brethren;brothers, for the fierceburning wrathanger of Jehovahthe Lord is uponagainst you.
28:12	Then certainsome of the heads of the childrensons of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stoodarose up against themthose thatwho camewere coming from the warbattle,

28:16	At that time didKing king Ahaz sendsent untoto the kings of Assyria tofor help him.
28:17	For again the Edomites had come and smittenattacked Judah, and carried away captives.
28:18	The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the SouthNegev of Judah, and had taken Beth shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with theits towns thereofvillages, and Timnah with theits towns thereofvillages, and Gimzo alsowith andits thevillages, towns thereof: and they dweltsettled there.
28:19	For Jehovahthe broughtLord humbled Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel;, for he had dealtbrought wantonlyabout a lack of restraint in Judah, and trespassedwas sorevery againstunfaithful Jehovahto the Lord.
28:20	AndSo Tilgath pilneser king of Assyria came untoagainst him, and distressedafflicted him, butinstead strengthenedof strengthening him not.
28:21	ForAlthough Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah,the Lord and out of the housepalace of the king and of the princes, and gave it untoto the king of Assyria:, but it helpeddid not help him not.
28:22	AndNow in the time of his distress didthis hesame trespassKing Ahaz became yet more againstunfaithful Jehovah,to thisthe same king AhazLord.
28:23	For he sacrificed untoto the gods of Damascus, which smotehad defeated him;, and he said, Because the gods of the kings of SyriaAram helped them, thereforeI will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they werebecame the ruindownfall of him, and of all Israel.
28:24	AndMoreover, when Ahaz gathered together the vesselsutensils of the house of God, andhe cut in pieces the vesselsutensils of the house of God, in pieces; and shuthe upclosed the doors of the house of Jehovah;the Lord, and he made him altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem.
28:25	And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense untoto other gods, and provoked tothe anger JehovahLord, the God of his fathers, to anger.
28:26	Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, from first andto last, behold, they are written in the bookBook of the kingsKings of Judah and Israel.
28:27	AndSo Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem;, for they broughtdid not bring him not into the sepulchrestombs of the kings of Israel:; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his steadplace.
29:1	Hezekiah beganbecame toking reign when he was twenty five and twenty years old; and he reigned twenty nine and twenty years in Jerusalem:. andAnd his mothers name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
29:2	And he did that which was right in the eyessight of Jehovahthe Lord, according to all that David his father David had done.
29:3	HeIn in the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah,the Lord and repaired them.
29:4	And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broadsquare place on the east,.

29:6	For our fathers have trespassed,been unfaithful and have done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovahthe Lord our God, and have forsaken him,Him and have turned away their faces away from the habitationdwelling place of Jehovahthe Lord, and have turned their backs.
29:7	AlsoThey they have also shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense noror offered burnt offerings in the holy place untoto the God of Israel.
29:8	WhereforeTherefore the wrath of Jehovahthe Lord was uponagainst Judah and Jerusalem, and heHe hathhas deliveredmade them toan beobject tossedof to and froterror, toof be an astonishmenthorror, and aof hissing, as yeyou see with your own eyes.
29:9	For, lobehold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
29:10	Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, that hisHis fierceburning anger may turn away from us.
29:11	My sons, bedo not nowbe negligent; now, for Jehovahthe hathLord has chosen you to stand before himHim, to minister untoto himHim, and thatto ye should be hisHis ministers, and burn incense.
29:12	Then the Levites arose,: Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, offrom the sons of the Kohathites; and offrom the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and offrom the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

29:16	AndSo the priests went in untoto the inner part of the house of Jehovah,the Lord to cleanse it, and broughtevery outunclean allthing thewhich uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovahthe intoLord they brought out to the court of the house of Jehovahthe Lord. AndThen the Levites tookreceived it, to carry it out abroad to the brookKidron Kidronvalley.
29:17	Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they toentered the porch of Jehovah;the andLord. Then they sanctifiedconsecrated the house of Jehovahthe Lord in eight days:, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
29:18	Then they went in to King Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, We have cleansed all the whole house of Jehovahthe Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all theof vesselsits thereofutensils, and the table of showbread, with all theof vesselsits thereofutensils.
29:19	Moreover, all the vessels,utensils which kingKing Ahaz inhad discarded during his reign didin casthis awayunfaithfulness, whenwe he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctifiedconsecrated; and, behold, they are before the altar of Jehovahthe Lord.
29:20	Then King Hezekiah the king arose early, and gatheredassembled the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
29:21	And they brought seven bullocksbulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven hemale goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commandedordered the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of Jehovahthe Lord.
29:22	So they killedslaughtered the bullocksbulls, and the priests receivedtook the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar:. andThey theyalso killedslaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood uponon the altar:; they killedslaughtered also the lambs, also and sprinkled the blood uponon the altar.
29:23	AndThen they brought near the hemale goats forof the sin offering before the king and the assembly;, and they laid their hands uponon them:.
29:24	andAnd the priests killedslaughtered them, and theypurged madethe aaltar sin offering with their blood upon the altar, to makeatone atonement for all Israel;, for the king commandedordered that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
29:25	AndHe hethen setstationed the Levites in the house of Jehovahthe Lord with cymbals, with psalteriesharps, and with harpslyres, according to the commandmentcommand of David, and of Gad the kings seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandmentcommand was offrom Jehovahthe byLord histhrough His prophets.
29:26	And the Levites stood with the musical instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
29:27	AndThen Hezekiah commandedgave the order to offer the burnt offering uponon the altar. AndWhen when the burnt offering began, the song ofto Jehovahthe beganLord also, andbegan with the trumpets, togetheraccompanied withby the instruments of David, king of Israel.
29:28	AndWhile all the whole assembly worshippedworshiped, and the singers also sang, and the trumpeterstrumpets sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29:29	AndNow whenat theythe hadcompletion madeof anthe endburnt of offeringofferings, the king and all thatwho were present with him bowed themselvesdown and worshippedworshiped.
29:30	Moreover, King Hezekiah the king and the princesofficials commandedordered the Levites to sing praises untoto Jehovahthe Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. AndSo they sang praises with gladnessjoy, and they bowed theirdown heads and worshippedworshiped.
29:31	Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now yethat you have consecrated yourselves untoto Jehovah;the Lord, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings intoto the house of Jehovahthe Lord. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings;, and asall manythose aswho were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
29:32	And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was threescore70 and ten bullocksbulls, a100 hundred rams, and two200 hundred lambs:; all these were for a burnt offering to Jehovahthe Lord.
29:33	And the consecrated things were six600 hundredbulls oxen and three3,000 thousand sheep.
29:34	But the priests were too few, so that they couldwere notunable flayto skin all the burnt offerings:; whereforetherefore their brethrenbrothers the Levites didhelped help them, tilluntil the work was endedcompleted, and until the other priests had sanctifiedconsecrated themselves;. forFor the Levites were more uprightconscientious in heart to sanctifyconsecrate themselves than the priests.
29:35	And there were also themany burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drinklibations offerings for everythe burnt offeringofferings. SoThus the service of the house of Jehovahthe Lord was setestablished in orderagain.
29:36	AndThen Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, becauserejoiced ofover thatwhat which God had prepared for the people:, forbecause the thing wascame doneabout suddenly.
30:1	AndNow Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovahthe Lord at Jerusalem, to keepcelebrate the passoverPassover untoto Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel.
30:2	For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, had decided to keepcelebrate the passoverPassover in the second month.,
30:3	Forsince they could not keepcelebrate it at that time, because the priests had not sanctifiedconsecrated themselves in sufficient numbernumbers, neithernor had the people been gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
30:4	AndThus the thing was right in the eyessight of the king and of all the assembly.
30:5	So they established a decree to makecirculate a proclamation throughout all Israel, from BeerBeersheba sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keepcelebrate the passoverPassover untoto Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, at Jerusalem:. forFor they had not keptcelebrated it in great numbers in such sort as it iswas writtenprescribed.
30:6	SoAnd the postscouriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, andeven according to the commandmentcommand of the king, saying, YeO childrensons of Israel, turnreturn againto untothe Jehovah,Lord the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that heHe may return to thethose remnantof thatyou arewho escaped ofand youare outleft offrom the hand of the kings of Assyria.
30:7	And bedo not yebe like your fathers, and like your brethrenbrothers, who trespassedwere againstunfaithful Jehovah,to the Lord God of their fathers, so that heHe gavemade them upa to desolationhorror, as yeyou see.
30:8	Now bedo ye not stiffnecked,stiffen asyour neck like your fathers, were; but yield yourselvesto untothe Jehovah,Lord and enter intoHis his sanctuary, which heHe hathhas sanctifiedconsecrated for everforever, and serve Jehovahthe Lord your God, that hisHis fierceburning anger may turn away from you.
30:9	For if yeyou turnreturn againto untothe JehovahLord, your brethrenbrothers and your childrensons shallwill find compassion before themthose thatwho led them captive, and shallwill comereturn againto into this land:. forFor Jehovahthe Lord your God is gracious and mercifulcompassionate, and will not turn awayHis his face away from you, if yeyou return untoto himHim.
30:10	So the postscouriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, evenand untoas far as Zebulun:, but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
30:11	Nevertheless certainsome men of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
30:12	AlsoThe uponhand Judahof cameGod thewas handalso ofon GodJudah to give them one heart, to do thewhat commandment of the king and of the princes commanded by the word of Jehovahthe Lord.
30:13	AndNow theremany assembledpeople were gathered at Jerusalem much people to keepcelebrate the feastFeast of unleavenedUnleavened breadBread in the second month, a very greatlarge assembly.
30:14	And they arose and tookremoved away the altars thatwhich were in Jerusalem,; andthey also removed all the altars for incense tookaltars they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
30:15	Then they killedslaughtered the passoverPassover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month:. andAnd the priests and the Levites were ashamed, of themselves and sanctifiedconsecrated themselves, and brought burnt offerings intoto the house of Jehovahthe Lord.
30:16	And they stood inat their placestations after their ordercustom, according to the law of Moses the man of God:; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received offrom the hand of the Levites.
30:17	For there were many in the assembly thatwho had not sanctifiedconsecrated themselves:; therefore, the Levites hadwere over the chargeslaughter of killing the passoversPassover lambs for everyeveryone onewho that was not cleanunclean, in order to sanctifyconsecrate them untoto Jehovahthe Lord.
30:18	For a multitude of the people, even many offrom Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansedpurified themselves, yet did they eatate the passoverPassover otherwise than it is writtenprescribed. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, TheMay the good JehovahLord pardon every one
30:19	thateveryone settethwho prepares his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.
30:20	AndSo Jehovahthe hearkenedLord toheard Hezekiah, and healed the people.
30:21	And the childrensons of Israel that were present atin Jerusalem keptcelebrated the feastFeast of unleavenedUnleavened breadBread for seven days with great gladness;joy, and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovahthe Lord day byafter day, singing with loud instruments untoto Jehovahthe Lord.
30:22	AndThen Hezekiah spakespoke comfortablyencouragingly untoto all the Levites thatwho hadshowed good understandinginsight in the servicethings of Jehovahthe Lord. So they didate eatfor throughout the feastappointed for the seven days, offeringsacrificing sacrifices of peace offerings, and makinggiving confessionthanks to Jehovah, the Lord God of their fathers.
30:23	AndThen the whole assembly tookdecided counsel to keepcelebrate otherthe feast another seven days;, andso they keptcelebrated otherthe seven days with gladnessjoy.
30:24	For Hezekiah king of Judah didhad givecontributed to the assembly for1,000 offeringsbulls a thousand bullocks and seven7,000 thousand sheep;, and the princes gavehad contributed to the assembly a1,000 thousandbulls bullocks and ten10,000 thousand sheep:; and a greatlarge number of priests sanctifiedconsecrated themselves.
30:25	And all the assembly of Judah rejoiced, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came outfrom of Israel, andboth the sojourners thatwho came outfrom of the land of Israel, and thatthose dweltliving in Judah, rejoiced.
30:26	So there was great joy in Jerusalem;, forbecause there was nothing like this in Jerusalem since the timedays of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
30:27	Then the Levitical priests the Levites arose and blessed the people:; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to hisHis holy habitationdwelling place, evento unto heaven.
31:1	Now when all this was finished, all Israel thatwho were present went out to the cities of Judah, andbroke brakethe pillars in pieces the pillars, andcut hewed down the Asherim, and brakepulled down the high places and the altars outthroughout of all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the childrensons of Israel returned, every man to histheir possessioncities, intoeach theirto ownhis citiespossession.
31:2	And Hezekiah appointed the coursesdivisions of the priests and the Levites afterby their coursesdivisions, everyeach man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovahthe Lord.

31:6	And the childrensons of Israel and Judah, thatwho dweltlived in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicatedsacred thingsgifts which were consecrated untoto Jehovahthe Lord their God, and laidplaced them byin heaps.
31:7	In the third month they began to laymake the foundation of the heaps, and finished them inby the seventh month.
31:8	And when Hezekiah and the princesrulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah,the Lord and hisHis people Israel.
31:10	And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answeredsaid to him and said, Since the peoplecontributions began to bringbe thebrought oblations into the house of Jehovahthe Lord, we have eaten and had enough, andto haveeat leftwith plenty: left over, for Jehovahthe hathLord has blessed hisHis people;, and thatthis whichgreat quantity is left is this great storeover.
31:11	Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambersrooms in the house of Jehovah;the Lord, and they prepared them;.
31:12	andAnd they faithfully brought in the oblationscontributions and the tithes and the dedicatedconsecrated things; faithfully.and And over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler,the officer in charge of them and Shimei his brother Shimei was second;.

31:21	And in every work thatwhich he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandmentscommandment, toseeking seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
32:1	After these things,acts andof this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and enteredinvaded into Judah, and encampedbesieged against the fortified cities, and thought to winbreak into them for himself.
32:2	AndNow when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib washad come, and that he wasintended purposed to fightmake againstwar on Jerusalem,
32:3	he tookdecided counsel with his princesofficers and his mightywarriors men to stopcut off the waterssupply of water from the fountainssprings which were withoutoutside the city;, and they helped him.
32:4	So theremany was gathered much people together,assembled and they stopped up all the fountains,springs and the brookstream thatwhich flowed through the midst of the landregion, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find muchabundant water?
32:5	And he took courage, and builtrebuilt up all the wall that washad been broken down, and raisederected ittowers upon to the towersit, and thebuilt otheranother outside wall without, and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundancegreat number.

32:8	withWith him is only an arm of flesh;, but with us is Jehovahthe Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people restedrelied themselveson upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
32:9	After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria sendsent his servants to Jerusalem nowwhile he was beforebesieging Lachish, andwith all his powerforces with him, untoagainst Hezekiah king of Judah, and untoagainst all Judah thatwho were at Jerusalem, saying,
32:10	Thus saithsays Sennacherib king of Assyria, WhereonOn dowhat yeare trust,you trusting that yeyou abideare theremaining siege in Jerusalem under siege?
32:11	DothIs not Hezekiah persuademisleading you, to give youyourselves over to die by faminehunger and by thirst, saying, JehovahThe Lord our God will deliver us outfrom of the hand of the king of Assyria ?
32:12	HathHas not the same Hezekiah taken away hisHis high places and hisHis altars, and commandedsaid to Judah and Jerusalem, saying,You Ye shall worship before one altar, and uponon it you shall ye burn incense ?
32:13	KnowDo yeyou not know what I and my fathers have done untoto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands inable anyat wiseall able to deliver their land outfrom of my hand?
32:14	Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, thatwho could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you outfrom of my hand?
32:15	Now therefore, letdo not let Hezekiah deceive you, noror persuademislead you afterlike this manner, neitherand do not believe ye him;, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people outfrom of my hand, andor outfrom of the hand of my fathers:. howHow much less shall your God deliver you outfrom of my hand?
32:16	And his servants spakespoke yetfurther more against Jehovahthe Lord God, and against hisHis servant Hezekiah.
32:17	He also wrote also letters, to railinsult onthe Jehovah,Lord the God of Israel, and to speak against himHim, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people outfrom of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah shall not deliver hisHis people outfrom of my hand.
32:18	And they criedcalled this out with a loud voice in the Jews language untoof Judah to the people of Jerusalem thatwho were on the wall, to affrightfrighten them, and toterrify trouble them;, so that they might take the city.
32:19	And they spakespoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of mens hands.
32:20	AndBut King Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed becauseabout of this, and cried out to heaven.

So he returned within shame of face to his own land. And when he washad comeentered into the housetemple of his god, theysome thatof came forth from his own bowelschildren slewkilled him there with the sword.
32:22	ThusSo Jehovahthe Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.
32:23	And many broughtwere bringing gifts untoto Jehovahthe toLord at Jerusalem, and preciouschoice thingspresents to Hezekiah king of Judah;, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforththereafter.
32:24	In those days Hezekiah wasbecame sickmortally evenill; unto death: and he prayed untoto Jehovah;the Lord, and hethe spakeLord untospoke to him, and gave him a sign.
32:25	But Hezekiah renderedgave notno againreturn accordingfor to the benefit donehe untoreceived, him;because for his heart was liftedproud; up: therefore therewrath wascame wrathon upon him, and uponon Judah and Jerusalem.
32:26	Notwithstanding However,Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovahthe cameLord did not uponcome on them in the days of Hezekiah.
32:27	AndNow Hezekiah had exceedingimmense much riches and honor:; and he providedmade himfor himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all mannerkinds of goodlyvaluable vessels;articles,

32:30	ThisIt samewas Hezekiah alsowho stopped the upper springoutlet of the waters of Gihon, and broughtdirected them straightto down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all histhat workshe did.
32:31	HowbeitAnd even in the businessmatter of the ambassadorsenvoys of the princesrulers of Babylon, who sent untoto him to inquire of the wonder that washad donehappened in the land, God left him, alone only to trytest him, that heHe might know all that was in his heart.
32:32	Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his gooddeeds deedsof devotion, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the bookBook of the kingsKings of Judah and Israel.
32:33	AndSo Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascentupper section of the sepulchrestombs of the sons of David:; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem didhonored him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reignedManasseh became king in his steadplace.

33:2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah,the afterLord according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovahthe castLord outdispossessed before the childrensons of Israel.

33:9	AndThus Manasseh seducedmisled Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, soto thatdo theymore did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovahthe Lord destroyed before the childrensons of Israel.
33:10	And Jehovahthe spakeLord spoke to Manasseh, and to his people;, but they gavepaid no heedattention.
33:11	WhereforeTherefore Jehovahthe Lord brought upon them the captainscommanders of the hostarmy of the king of Assyria against them, whoand tookthey captured Manasseh inwith chainshooks, and bound him with fettersbronze chains, and carriedtook him to Babylon.
33:12	And when he was in distress, he besoughtentreated Jehovahthe Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
33:13	AndWhen he prayed untoto him;Him, andHe he was entreatedmoved ofby him,his entreaty and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem intoto his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovahthe heLord was God.

33:17	Nevertheless the people still sacrificed still in the high places, butalthough only untoto Jehovahthe Lord their God.
33:18	Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, andeven his prayer untoto his God, and the words of the seers thatwho spakespoke to him in the name of Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are written among the actsrecords of the kings of Israel.
33:19	His prayer also, and how God was entreated ofby him, and all his sin, and his trespassunfaithfulness, and the placessites whereinon which he built high places, and seterected up the Asherim and the gravencarved images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the historyrecords of the Hozai.
