7:5	AndThey they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans; when they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no one there.
7:11	AndThe the gatekeepers called, and told it within the kings household.
7:12	Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us.

7:13	AndOne one of his servants answered and said, Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city.

7:15	AndThey they went after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way was full of clothes and equipment, which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.
7:18	AndIt ithappened came about just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shallwill be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria.
7:19	Then the royal officer answered the man of God and said, Now behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be? And he said, Behold, you shallwill see it with your own eyes, but you shallwill not eat of it.
7:20	And so it happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died.
8:1	Now Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise and go with your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn; for the Lord has called for a famine, and it shallwill even come on the land for seven years.

8:8	AndThe the king said to Hazael, Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord by him, saying, Will I recover from this sickness?

8:11	AndHe he fixed his gaze steadily on him until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
8:12	And Hazael said, Why does my Lord weep? Then he answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up.
8:15	AndOn itthe camefollowing about on the morrowday, that he took the cover and dipped it in water and spread it on his face, so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.

8:24	So Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
8:27	AndHe he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab had done, because he was a son in law of the house of Ahab.

9:7	AndYou you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.

9:10	AndThe the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.  Then he opened the door and fled.

9:16	Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

9:35	AndThey they went to bury her, but they found nonothing more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.
9:37	and the corpse of Jezebel shallwill be as dung on the face of the field in the property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, This is Jezebel.
10:2	And nowNow, when this letter comes to you, since your masters sons are with you, as well as the chariots and horses and a fortified city and the weapons,

17:7	Now this came about, because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods
17:9	AndThe the sons of Israel did things secretly which were not right, against the Lord their God. Moreover, they built for themselves high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city.
17:10	AndThey they set for themselves sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree,
17:12	AndThey they served idols, concerning which the Lord had said to them, You shall not do this thing.
17:13	Yet the Lord warned Israel and Judah, through all His prophets and every seer, saying, Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets.

17:16	AndThey they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.

17:20	AndThe the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them out of His sight.

17:24	AndThe the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar vaimSepharvaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.

18:3	AndHe he did right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
18:9	Now it came about in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
18:10	AndAt at the end of three years they captured it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
18:12	because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed His covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded; they would neither listen, nor do it.
18:15	And Hezekiah gave him all the silver which was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the kings house.
18:22	But if you say to me, We trust in the Lord our God, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem ?
18:26	Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak with us in Judean, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.
18:30	nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shallwill not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
18:32	until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey, that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, when he misleads you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.
19:3	AndThey they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and rejection; for children have come to birth, and there is no strength to deliver.
19:6	And Isaiah said to them, Thus you shall say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
19:7	Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he shallwill hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.
19:10	Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you saying, Jerusalem shallwill not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
19:15	And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said, O Lord, the God of Israel, who artare enthroned above the cherubim, ThouYou artare the God, ThouYou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. ThouYou hasthave made heaven and earth.
19:16	Incline ThineYour ear, O Lord, and hear; open ThineYour eyes, O Lord, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
19:19	And nowNow, O Lord our God, I pray, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that ThouYou alone, O Lord, artare God.
19:29	Then this shall be the sign for you: you shallwill eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
19:30	AndThe the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shallwill again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
19:31	For out of Jerusalem shallwill go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the Lord shallwill perform this.
19:32	Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shallwill not come to this city or shoot an arrow there; neitherand shall he will not come before it with a shield, noror throw up a moundsiege ramp against it.
19:33	By the way that he came, by the same he shallwill return, and he shall not come to this city,  declares the Lord.
19:35	Then it happened that night that the angel of the Lord went out, and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead.
19:37	AndIt it came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.
20:2	Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
20:3	Remember now, O Lord, I beseech TheeYou, how I have walked before TheeYou in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in ThyYour sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
20:4	AndBefore it came about before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
20:6	And I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake and for My servant Davids sake.
20:9	And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps or go back ten steps?
20:11	And Isaiah the prophet cried to the Lord, and He brought the shadow on the stairway back ten steps by which it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
20:13	And Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all his treasure house, the silver and the gold and the spices and the precious oil and the house of his armor and all that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.
20:15	AndHe he said, What have they seen in your house? So Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them.
20:17	Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day shallwill be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, says the Lord.
20:18	AndSome some of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shallwill beget, shallwill be taken away; and they shallwill become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.
20:19	Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good. For he thought, Is it not so, if there shallwill be peace and truth in my days?
20:20	Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and all his might, and how he made the pool and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21:2	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
21:4	AndHe he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem I will put My name.
21:6	AndHe he made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord provoking Him to anger.
21:12	therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shallwill tingle.
21:13	And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
21:14	And I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, and they shallwill become as plunder and spoil to all their enemies;
21:15	because they have done evil in My sight, and have been provoking Me to anger, since the day their fathers came from Egypt, even to this day.
21:20	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
21:23	AndThe the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.
21:26	AndHe he was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
22:2	AndHe he did right in the sight of the Lord and walked in all the way of his father David, nor did he turn aside to the right or to the left.
22:3	Now it came about in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam the scribe, to the house of the Lord saying,
22:5	AndLet let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord, and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the Lord to repair the damages of the house,
22:9	And Shaphan the scribe came to the king and brought back word to the king and said, Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord.
22:11	AndWhen it came about when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes.
22:15	AndShe she said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man who sent you to me,
22:20	Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shallwill be gathered to your grave in peace, neitherand shall your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.   So they brought back word to the king.
23:2	AndThe the king went up to the house of the Lord and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
23:3	AndThe the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
23:5	AndHe he did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of heaven.

23:12	AndThe the altars which were on the roof, the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, the king broke down; and he smashed them there, and threw their dust into the brook Kidron.
23:13	AndThe the high places which were before Jerusalem, which were on the right of the mount of destruction which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.
23:14	AndHe he broke in pieces the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherim and filled their places with human bones.
23:18	AndHe he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
23:19	And Josiah also removed all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking the Lord; and he did to them just as he had done in Bethel.
23:20	AndAll all the priests of the high places who were there he slaughtered on the altars and burned human bones on them; then he returned to Jerusalem.
23:25	AndBefore before him there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.
23:27	AndThe the Lord said, I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple of which I said, My name shall be there.
23:30	AndHis his servants drove his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
23:32	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
23:33	And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
23:34	And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
23:37	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
24:2	AndThe the Lord sent against him bands of Chaldeans, bands of Arameans, bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. So He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which He had spoken through His servants the prophets.
24:7	AndThe the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

24:12	And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his captains and his officials. So the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.
24:13	AndHe he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the kings house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, just as the Lord had said.
24:16	AndAll all the men of valor, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, all strong and fit for war, and these the king of Babylon brought into exile to Babylon.
24:17	Then the king of Babylon made his uncle Mattaniah, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
24:19	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
25:1	Now it came about in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, camped against it, and built a siege wall all around it.
25:7	AndThey they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.
