[No book] |
[2]And he didH6213[H8799] that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212[H8799] in the waysH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and declinedH5493[H8804] neither to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040. |

[3]For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427[H8800], while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490[H8689] to seekH1875[H8800] after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147[H6240] yearH8141 he beganH2490[H8689] to purgeH2891[H8763] JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541. |
[No book] |
[4]And they brake downH5422[H8762] the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438[H8765]; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665[H8765], and made dustH1854[H8689] of them, and strowedH2236[H8799] it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto themH8802. |
[No book] |
[5]And he burntH8313[H8804] the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 upon their altarsH4196, and cleansedH2891[H8762] JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. |

[6]And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. |

[7]And when he had broken downH5422[H8762] the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807[H8765] the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854[H8687], and cut downH1438[H8765] all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725[H8799] to JerusalemH3389. |

[8]Now in the eighteenthH8083[H6240] yearH8141 of his reignH4427[H8800], when he had purgedH2891[H8763] the landH776, and the houseH1004, he sentH7971[H8804] ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, and MaaseiahH4641 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 the recorderH2142[H8688], to repairH2388[H8763] the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430. |
[No book] |
[9]And when they cameH935[H8799] to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, they deliveredH5414[H8799] the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935[H8716] into the houseH1004 of GodH430, which the LevitesH3881 that keptH8104[H8802] the doorsH5592 had gatheredH622[H8804] of the handH3027 of ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, and of all the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478, and of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; and they returnedH7725[H8799][H8675][H3427][H8802] to JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[10]And they putH5414[H8799] it in the handH3027 of the workmenH6213[H8802][H4399] that had the oversightH6485[H8716] of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and they gaveH5414[H8799] it to the workmenH6213[H8802][H4399] that wroughtH6213[H8802] in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH918[H8800] and amendH2388[H8763] the houseH1004: |
[No book] |
[11]Even to the artificersH2796 and buildersH1129[H8802] gaveH5414[H8799] they it, to buyH7069[H8800] hewnH4274 stoneH68, and timberH6086 for couplingsH4226, and to floorH7136[H8763] the housesH1004 which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had destroyedH7843.[H8689] |
[No book] |
[12]And the menH582 didH6213[H8802] the workH4399 faithfullyH530: and the overseersH5329[H8763] of them were JahathH3189 and ObadiahH5662, the LevitesH3881, of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; and ZechariahH2148 and MeshullamH4918, of the sons of the KohathitesH6956, to set it forwardH6485[H8716]; and other of the LevitesH3881, all that could skillH995[H8688] of instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892. |
[No book] |
[13]Also they were over the bearers of burdensH5449, and were overseersH5329[H8764] of all that wroughtH6213[H8802] the workH4399 in any manner of serviceH5656: and of the LevitesH3881 there were scribesH5608[H8802], and officersH7860[H8802], and portersH7778. |
[No book] |
[14]And when they brought outH3318[H8687] the moneyH3701 that was brought intoH935[H8716] the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672[H8804] a bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH3027 MosesH4872. |
[No book] |
[15]And HilkiahH2518 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799] to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608[H8802], I have foundH4672[H8804] the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 deliveredH5414[H8799] the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227. |
[No book] |
[16]And ShaphanH8227 carriedH935[H8686] the bookH5612 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 backH7725[H8686] again, sayingH559[H8800], All that was committedH5414[H8738] toH3027 thy servantsH5650, they doH6213 itH8802. |
[No book] |
[17]And they have gathered togetherH5413[H8686] the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672[H8737] in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and have deliveredH5414[H8799] it into the handH3027 of the overseersH6485[H8716], and to the handH3027 of the workmenH6213[H8802].[H4399] |
[No book] |
[18]Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608[H8802] toldH5046[H8686] the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath givenH5414[H8804] me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121[H8799] it beforeH6440 the kingH4428. |
[No book] |
[19]And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085[H8800] the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167[H8799] his clothesH899. |
[No book] |
[20]And the kingH4428 commandedH6680[H8762] HilkiahH2518, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of MicahH4318, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608[H8802], and AsaiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[No book] |
[21]GoH3212[H8798], enquireH1875[H8798] of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604[H8737] in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672[H8738]: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413[H8738] upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104[H8804] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213[H8800] after all that is writtenH3789[H8803] in this bookH5612. |
[No book] |
[22]And HilkiahH2518, and they that the kingH4428 had appointed, wentH3212[H8799] to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvathH8616[H8676][H8445], the sonH1121 of HasrahH2641, keeperH8104[H8802] of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427[H8802] in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932:) and they spakeH1696 to her to that effectH8762. |
[No book] |
[23]And she answeredH559[H8799] them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559[H8798] ye the manH376 that sentH7971 you to meH8804, |
[No book] |
[24]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935[H8688] evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] thereof, even all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 which they have readH7121[H8804] beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063: |
[No book] |
[25]Because they have forsakenH5800[H8804] me, and have burned incenseH6999[H8762][H8675][H6999][H8686] unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707[H8687] with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be poured outH5413[H8799] upon this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[26]And as forH413 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971[H8802] you to enquireH1875[H8800] of the LORDH3068, so shall ye sayH559[H8799] unto him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 concerning the wordsH1697 H8085which thou hast heardH8804 |
[No book] |
[27]Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401[H8804], and thou didst humbleH3665[H8735] thyself beforeH6440 GodH430, when thou heardestH8085[H8800] his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] thereof, and humbledstH3665[H8735] thyself beforeH6440 me, and didst rendH7167[H8799] thy clothesH899, and weepH1058[H8799] beforeH6440 me; I have even heardH8085[H8804] thee also, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[28]Behold, I will gatherH622[H8802] thee to thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622[H8738] to thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965, neither shall thine eyesH5869 seeH7200[H8799] all the evilH7451 that I will bringH935[H8688] upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the same. So they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.[H8686] |
[No book] |
[29]Then the kingH4428 sentH7971[H8799] and gathered togetherH622[H8799] all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[30]And the kingH4428 went upH5927[H8799] into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all the peopleH5971, greatH1419 and smallH6996: and he readH7121[H8799] in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 that was foundH4672[H8737] in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[31]And the kingH4428 stoodH5975[H8799] in his placeH5977, and madeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212[H8800] afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104[H8800] his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213[H8800] the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789[H8803] in this bookH5612. |
[No book] |
[32]And he caused all that were presentH4672[H8737] in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975[H8686] to it. And the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389 didH6213[H8799] according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. |
[No book] |
[33]And JosiahH2977 took awayH5493[H8686] all the abominationsH8441 out of all the countriesH776 that pertained to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and made all that were presentH4672[H8737] in IsraelH3478 to serveH5647[H8686], even to serveH5647[H8800] the LORDH3068 their GodH430. And all his daysH3117 they departedH5493[H8804] not from followingH310 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. |
