| [1]Hezekiah began to reign, when he was five and twenty year old, and reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah. |
[1]Hezekia began to raigne when he was fiue and twentie yeres olde, and he raigned nine & twentie yeres in Hierusalem: And his mothers name was Abia, the daughter of Zachariahu |
| [2]And he did uprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. |
[2]And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, in all poyntes as did Dauid his father |
| [3]He opened the doors of the house of the Lord in the first year, and in the first month of his reign, and repaired them. |
[3]He opened the doores of the house of the Lorde in the first yere and first moneth of his raigne, and repaired them |
| [4]And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the east street, |
[4]And he brought in the priestes and the Leuites, and gathered them together into the east streate |
| [5]And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites: sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary. |
[5]And saide vnto them: Heare me ye Leuites, and now be sanctified and halow the house of the Lorde God of your fathers, bring filthynesse out of the holy place |
| [6]For our fathers have trespassed, and done evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backs. |
[6]For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lorde our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backes on it |
| [7]They have also shut the doors of the porch, and quenched the lamps, and have neither burned incense, nor offered burnt offerings in the sanctuary unto the God of Israel. |
[7]And beside that, they haue shut vp the doores of the porche, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offered burnt offringes in the holy place vnto the God of Israel |
| [8]Wherefore the wrath of the Lord hath been on Judah and Jerusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes. |
[8]Wherefore the wrath of the Lorde fell on Iuda & Hierusalem, and he hath brought them to trouble to be wondred on, & to be hissed at, euen as ye see with your eyes |
| [9]For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives are in captivity for the same cause. |
[9]For loe, our fathers were ouerthrowen with the sword, and our sonnes, our daughters, and our wyues were caried away captiue for the same cause |
| [10]Now I purpose to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us. |
[10]And now it is in myne heart to make a couenaunt with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his heauy indignation from vs |
| [11]Now my sons, be not deceived: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and to be his ministers, and to burn incense. |
[11]Now therefore my sonnes, be not negligent: for the Lorde hath chosen you to stande before him, and for to minister and serue him, and to burne incense |
| [12]Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah: |
[12]Then the Leuites arose, Mahath the sonne of Amasai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariahu of the children of the Caathites: And of the sonnes of Merari, Cis the sonne of Abdi, and Azariahu the sonne of Iahalelel: And of ye sonnes of the Gersonites, Ioah the sonne of Simma, and Eden the sonne of Ioah |
| [13]And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Jeiel [Jeuel]: and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah: |
[13]And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Simri and Iehiel: And of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariahu and Matthaniahu |
| [14]And of the sons of Heman, Jeuel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. |
[14]And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Simei: And of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Semaia and Uzziel |
| [15]And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves and came according to the commandment of the king, and by the words of the Lord, for to cleanse the house of the Lord. |
[15]And they gathered their brethren, and purified them selues, and came according to the commaundement of the king and the wordes of the Lord for to clense the house of the Lorde |
| [16]And the priests went into the inner parts of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites took it, to carry it out unto the brook Kidron. |
[16]And the priestes went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord to clense it, and brought out all the vnclennesse that they founde in the temple of the Lorde, into the court of the house of the Lorde: And the Leuites toke it, to cary it out into the brooke Cedron |
| [17]They began the first day of the first month to sanctify it, and the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days, and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. |
[17]They began the first day of the first moneth to purifie, and the eyght day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lorde: So they sanctified the house of the Lorde in eyght dayes, and in the sixteenth day of the first moneth they made an end |
| [18]Then they went into Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the showbread table, with all the vessels thereof: |
[18]And they went in to Hezekia the king, and saide: We haue clensed all the house of the Lorde, the aulter of burnt offring with all his vessels, and the shew bread table with all his apparell |
| [19]And all the vessels which king Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, have we prepared and sanctified: and behold, they are before the altar of the Lord. |
[19]And all the vessels which king Ahaz did cast aside, when he raigned, & transgressed, them we haue prepared and sanctified, and beholde they are before the aulter of the Lorde |
| [20]And Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord. |
[20]And Hezekia the king rose earlye, and gathered the lordes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lorde |
| [21]And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord. |
[21]And they brought seuen oxen, seuen rammes, seuen sheepe, and seuen hee goates, to be a sinne offring for the kingdome, for the sanctuary, and for Iuda: And he commaunded the priestes the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the aulter of the Lorde |
| [22]So they slew the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it upon the altar: they slew also the rams and sprinkled the blood upon the altar, and they slew the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. |
[22]And they slue the oxen, and the priestes receaued the blood and sprinckled it on the aulter: likewyse when they had slaine the rammes, they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter: They slue also the sheepe, and they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter |
| [23]Then they brought the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation, and they laid their hands upon them. |
[23]And then they brought foorth the hee goates for the sinne offering before the king and the congregation, & put their handes vpon them |
| [24]And the priests slew them, and with the blood of them they cleansed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the king had commanded for all Israel the burnt offering and the sin offering. |
[24]And the priestes slue them, and with the blood of them they clensed the aulter, to make satisfaction for all Israel: for the king comaunded that the burnt offering and the sinne offering shoulde be made for all Israel |
| [25]He appointed also the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with viols, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the commandment was by the hand of the Lord, and by the hand of his prophets. |
[25]And set the Leuites in the house of the Lorde with cymbales, psalteries, and harpes, according to the commaundement of Dauid and of Gad the kinges sear, and Nathan the prophete: For so was the commaundement of the Lord through the hande of his prophetes |
| [26]And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. |
[26]And the Leuites stoode, hauing the instrumentes of Dauid: and the priestes helde the trumpettes |
| [27]And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar: and when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began with the trumpets, and the instruments of David king of Israel. |
[27]And Hezekia commaunded to offer the burnt offring vpon the aulter: And when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lorde began also, and the trumpettes, with the instrumentes that were ordayned by the hand of Dauid king of Israel |
| [28]And all the congregation worshiped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. |
[28]And all the congregation worshipped, singing a song, and blowyng with the trumpettes, and all this [continued] vntill the burnt offring was finished |
| [29]And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him, bowed themselves, and worshiped. |
[29]And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him, bowed them selues, and worshipped |
| [30]Then Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. so they praised with joy, and they bowed themselves, and worshiped. |
[30]And Hezekia the king and the lordes, spake to the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid & of Asaph the sear: And they sang prayses with gladnesse, and the other bowed them selues, and worshipped |
| [31]And Hezekiah spake, and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord: come near and bring the sacrifices and offerings of praise into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices; and offerings of praises, and every man that was willing in heart, offered burnt offerings. |
[31]And Hezekia aunswered, and saide: Now ye haue consecrated your handes to the Lorde: go to therefore, and bryng the sacrifices and thanke offeringes into the house of the Lorde. And the congregation brought in the sacrifices & thank offeringes, and burnt offringes, as many as were of a free liberall heart |
| [32]And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord: |
[32]And the number of the burnt offringes which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten oxen, an hundred rammes, & two hundred sheepe: which were all for the burnt offering of the Lorde |
| [33]And for sanctification six hundred bullocks, and three thousand sheep. |
[33]And there were dedicated sixe hundred oxen, and three thousand sheepe |
| [34]But the priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till they had ended the work, and until other priests were sanctified: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves, than the priests. |
[34]And the priestes were to fewe to flay al the burnt offringes: but their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, till they had ended the worke, & vntil the priestes were sanctified: For the Leuites were purer hearted to be sanctified, then the priestes |
| [35]And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order. |
[35]And therto ye burnt offringes were many, with the fat of the peaceoffringes, & the drinke offringes, that belong to the burnt offring: And so the seruice parteyning to the house of the Lorde, was finished |
| [36]Then Hezekiah rejoiced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly. |
[36]And Hezekia reioyced, and all the people, that God had made the folke so readie, & that the thing was so soone done |
