So Azariah H5838 slept H7901 with his fathers; H1 and they buried H6912 him with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Jotham H3147 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

In the second H8147 year H8141 of Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 king H4428 of Israel H3478 began Jotham H3147 the son H1121 of Uzziah H5818 king H4428 of Judah H3063 to reign. H4427

And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD: H3068 he did H6213 according to all H3605 that his father H1 Uzziah H5818 had done. H6213

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jotham, H3147 and all H3605 that he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063

And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732 his father: H1 and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

Joram H3141 his son, H1121 Ahaziah H274 his son, H1121 Joash H3101 his son, H1121

Ahaz H271 his son, H1121 Hezekiah H2396 his son, H1121 Manasseh H4519 his son, H1121

And Uzziah H5818 the king H4428 was a leper H6879 to the day H3117 of his death, H4194 and dwelled H3427 in a several H2669 house, H1004 being a leper; H6879 for he was cut H1504 off from the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and Jotham H3147 his son H1121 was over H5921 the king's H4428 house, H1004 judging H8199 the people H5971 of the land. H776

Jotham H3147 was twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 His mother's H517 name H8034 also was Jerushah, H3388 the daughter H1323 of Zadok. H6659

He built H1129 the high H5945 gate H8179 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and on the wall H2346 of Ophel H6077 he built H1129 much. H7230

He fought H3898 also with the king H4428 of the Ammonites, H5984 and prevailed H2388 against H5921 them. And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 gave H5414 him the same H1931 year H8141 an hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver, H3701 and ten H6235 thousand H505 measures H3734 of wheat, H2406 and ten H6235 thousand H505 of barley. H8184 So H2063 much H1931 did the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 pay H7725 to him, both the second H8145 year, H8141 and the third. H7992

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jotham, H3147 and all H3605 his wars, H4421 and his ways, H1870 see, H2005 they are written H3789 in the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063

And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David H1732 his father: H1 and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

In the seventeenth H7651 H6240 year H8141 of Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 Ahaz H271 the son H1121 of Jotham H3147 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began to reign. H4427

But he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the kings H4428 of Israel, H3478 yes, H1571 and made his son H1121 to pass H5674 through the fire, H784 according to the abominations H8441 of the heathen, H1471 whom H834 the LORD H3068 cast H3423 out from before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

Then H227 Rezin H7526 king H4428 of Syria H758 and Pekah H6492 son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 king H4428 of Israel H3478 came H5927 up to Jerusalem H3389 to war: H4421 and they besieged H6696 Ahaz, H271 but could H3201 not overcome H3898 him.

So Ahaz H271 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to Tiglathpileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria, H804 saying, H559 I am your servant H5650 and your son: H1121 come H5927 up, and save H3467 me out of the hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Syria, H758 and out of the hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 which rise H6965 up against H5921 me.

And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 listened H8085 to him: for the king H4428 of Assyria H804 went H5927 up against H413 Damascus, H1834 and took H8610 it, and carried H1540 the people of it captive H1540 to Kir, H7024 and slew H4191 Rezin. H7526

And Urijah H223 the priest H3548 built H1129 an altar H4196 according to all H3605 that king H4428 Ahaz H271 had sent H7971 from Damascus: H1834 so H3651 Urijah H223 the priest H3548 made H6213 it against H5704 king H4428 Ahaz H271 came H935 from Damascus. H1834

And he burnt H6999 his burnt H5930 offering H4503 and his meat offering, and poured H5258 his drink H5262 offering, and sprinkled H2236 the blood H1818 of his peace H8002 offerings, on the altar. H4196

And king H4428 Ahaz H271 commanded H6680 Urijah H223 the priest, H3548 saying, H559 On the great H1419 altar H4196 burn H6999 the morning H1242 burnt H5930 offering, and the evening H6153 meat offering, H4503 and the king's H4428 burnt H5930 sacrifice, and his meat offering, H4503 with the burnt H5930 offering of all H3605 the people H5971 of the land, H776 and their meat offering, H4503 and their drink H5262 offerings; and sprinkle H2236 on it all H3605 the blood H1818 of the burnt H5930 offering, and all H3605 the blood H1818 of the sacrifice: H2077 and the brazen H5178 altar H4196 shall be for me to inquire H1239 by.

And king H4428 Ahaz H271 cut H7112 off the borders H4526 of the bases, H4350 and removed H5493 the laver H3595 from off H5921 them; and took H3381 down H3381 the sea H3220 from off H5921 the brazen H5178 oxen H1241 that were under H8478 it, and put H5414 it on the pavement H4837 of stones. H68

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Ahaz H271 which H834 he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063

And Jotham H3147 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Ahaz H271 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

Ahaz H271 was twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem: H3389 but he did H6213 not that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 like David H1732 his father: H25

Moreover he burnt H6999 incense H6999 in the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 and burnt H1197 his children H1121 in the fire, H784 after the abominations H8441 of the heathen H1471 whom H834 the LORD H3068 had cast H3423 out before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

Why the LORD H3068 his God H430 delivered H5414 him into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Syria; H758 and they smote H5221 him, and carried H7617 away H7617 a great H1419 multitude of them captives, H7633 and brought H935 them to Damascus. H1834 And he was also delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 who smote H5221 him with a great H1419 slaughter. H4347

And Zichri, H2147 a mighty H1368 man of Ephraim, H669 slew H2026 Maaseiah H4641 the king's H4428 son, H1121 and Azrikam H5840 the governor H5057 of the house, H1004 and Elkanah H511 that was next H4932 to the king. H4428

But a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 was there, H8033 whose name H8034 was Oded: H5752 and he went H3318 out before H6440 the host H6635 that came H935 to Samaria, H8111 and said H559 to them, Behold, H2009 because the LORD H3068 God H430 of your fathers H1 was wroth H2534 with Judah, H3063 he has delivered H5414 them into your hand, H3027 and you have slain H2026 them in a rage H2197 that reaches H5060 up to heaven. H8064

Now H6258 hear H8085 me therefore, and deliver H7725 the captives H7633 again, which H834 you have taken captive H7617 of your brothers: H251 for the fierce H2740 wrath H639 of the LORD H3068 is on you.

And said H559 to them, You shall not bring H935 in the captives H7633 here: for whereas H3588 we have offended H819 against the LORD H3068 already, you intend H559 to add H3254 more to our sins H2403 and to our trespass: H819 for our trespass H819 is great, H7227 and there is fierce H2740 wrath H639 against H5921 Israel. H3478

And the men H582 which H834 were expressed H5344 by name H8034 rose H6965 up, and took H2388 the captives, H7633 and with the spoil H7998 clothed H3847 all H3605 that were naked H4636 among them, and arrayed H3847 them, and shod H5274 them, and gave them to eat H398 and to drink, H8248 and anointed H4886 them, and carried H5095 all H3605 the feeble H3782 of them on asses, H2543 and brought H935 them to Jericho, H3405 the city H5892 of palm H8558 trees, to their brothers: H251 then they returned H7725 to Samaria. H8111

For again H5750 the Edomites H130 had come H935 and smitten H5221 Judah, H3063 and carried H7617 away captives. H7628

For the LORD H3068 brought H3665 Judah H3063 low H3665 because H5668 of Ahaz H271 king H4428 of Israel; H3478 for he made H6213 Judah H3063 naked, H6544 and transgressed H4603 sore against the LORD. H3068

For Ahaz H271 took away a portion H2505 out of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and out of the house H1004 of the king, H4428 and of the princes, H8269 and gave H5414 it to the king H4428 of Assyria: H804 but he helped H5833 him not.

For he sacrificed H2076 to the gods H430 of Damascus, H1834 which smote H5221 him: and he said, H559 Because H3588 the gods H430 of the kings H4428 of Syria H758 help H5826 them, therefore will I sacrifice H2076 to them, that they may help H5826 me. But they were the ruin H3782 of him, and of all H3605 Israel. H3478

And in every H3605 several city H5892 of Judah H3063 he made H6213 high H1116 places to burn H6999 incense H6999 to other H312 gods, H430 and provoked to anger H3707 the LORD H3068 God H430 of his fathers. H1

And Ahaz H271 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him in the city, H5892 even in Jerusalem: H3389 but they brought H935 him not into the sepulchers H6913 of the kings H4428 of Israel: H3478 and Hezekiah H2396 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

And it came H1961 to pass in the days H3117 of Ahaz H271 the son H1121 of Jotham, H3147 the son H1121 of Uzziah, H5818 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that Rezin H7526 the king H4428 of Syria, H758 and Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 went H5927 up toward Jerusalem H3389 to war H4421 against H5921 it, but could H3201 not prevail H3898 against H5921 it.

Then said H559 the LORD H3068 to Isaiah, H3470 Go H3318 forth H3318 now H4994 to meet H7125 Ahaz, H271 you, and Shearjashub H7610 your son, H1121 at H413 the end H7097 of the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool H1295 in the highway H4546 of the fuller's H3526 field; H7704

Because H3282 H3588 Syria, H758 Ephraim, H669 and the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 have taken evil H7451 counsel H3289 against H5921 you, saying, H559

Thus H3541 said H559 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 It shall not stand, H6965 neither H3808 shall it come H1961 to pass.

And the head H7218 of Ephraim H669 is Samaria, H8111 and the head H7218 of Samaria H8111 is Remaliah's H7425 son. H1121 If H518 you will not believe, H539 surely H3588 you shall not be established. H539

Ask H7592 you a sign H226 of the LORD H3068 your God; H430 ask H7592 it either in the depth, H6009 or H176 in the height H1361 above. H4605

And he said, H559 Hear H8085 you now, H4994 O house H1004 of David; H1732 Is it a small H4592 thing for you to weary H3811 men, H582 but will you weary H3811 my God H430 also? H1571

And Ahaz H271 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Hezekiah H2396 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

Now it came H1961 to pass in the third H7969 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 son H1121 of Elah H425 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that Hezekiah H2396 the son H1121 of Ahaz H271 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began to reign. H4427

And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that David H1732 his father H1 did. H6213

He trusted H982 in the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel; H3478 so that after H310 him was none H3808 like H3644 him among all H3605 the kings H4428 of Judah, H3063 nor any that were before H6440 him.

And the LORD H3068 was with him; and he prospered H7919 wherever H3605 H834 he went H3318 forth: H3318 and he rebelled H4775 against the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and served H5647 him not.

And it came H1961 to pass in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of king H4428 Hezekiah, H2396 which H1958 was the seventh H7651 year H8141 of Hoshea H1954 son H1121 of Elah H425 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that Shalmaneser H8022 king H4428 of Assyria H804 came H5927 up against H5921 Samaria, H8111 and besieged H6696 it.

And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 did carry H1540 away H1540 Israel H3478 to Assyria, H804 and put H5148 them in Halah H2477 and in Habor H2249 by the river H5104 of Gozan, H1470 and in the cities H5892 of the Medes: H4074

Now in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 did Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 of Assyria H804 come H5927 up against H5921 all H3605 the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and took H8610 them.

And Hezekiah H2396 gave H5414 him all H3605 the silver H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and in the treasures H214 of the king's H4428 house. H1004

And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 sent H7971 Tartan H8661 and Rabsaris H7249 and Rabshakeh H7262 from Lachish H3923 to king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 with a great H3515 host H2426 against Jerusalem. H3389 And they went H5927 up and came H935 to Jerusalem. H3389 And when they were come H5927 up, they came H935 and stood H5975 by the conduit H8585 of the upper H5945 pool, H1295 which H834 is in the highway H4546 of the fuller's H3526 field. H7704

And Rabshakeh H7262 said H559 to them, Speak H559 you now H4994 to Hezekiah, H2396 Thus H3541 said H559 the great H1419 king, H4428 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 What H4100 confidence H986 is this H2088 wherein H834 you trust? H982

And Ahaz H271 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and they buried H6912 him in the city, H5892 even in Jerusalem: H3389 but they brought H935 him not into the sepulchers H6913 of the kings H4428 of Israel: H3478 and Hezekiah H2396 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478

Hezekiah H2396 began to reign H4427 when he was five H2568 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old, H1121 and he reigned H4427 nine H8672 and twenty H6242 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Abijah, H29 the daughter H1323 of Zechariah. H2148

He in the first H7223 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 in the first H7223 month, H2320 opened H6605 the doors H1817 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and repaired H2388 them.

And said H559 to them, Hear H8085 me, you Levites, H3881 sanctify H6942 now H6258 yourselves, and sanctify H6942 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of your fathers, H1 and carry H3318 forth H3318 the filthiness H5079 out of the holy H6944 place.

Also H1571 they have shut H5462 up the doors H1817 of the porch, H197 and put H3518 out the lamps, H5216 and have not burned H6999 incense H7004 nor H3808 offered H5927 burnt H5930 offerings in the holy H6944 place to the God H430 of Israel. H3478

For, see, H2009 our fathers H1 have fallen H5307 by the sword, H2719 and our sons H1121 and our daughters H1323 and our wives H802 are in captivity H7628 for this. H2088

My sons, H1121 be not now H6258 negligent: H7952 for the LORD H3068 has chosen H970 you to stand H5975 before H6440 him, to serve H8334 him, and that you should minister H8334 to him, and burn H6999 incense. H6999

And of the sons H1121 of Elizaphan; H469 Shimri, H8113 and Jeiel: H3273 and of the sons H1121 of Asaph; H623 Zechariah, H2148 and Mattaniah: H4983

And they gathered H622 their brothers, H251 and sanctified H6942 themselves, and came, H935 according to the commandment H4687 of the king, H4428 by the words H1697 of the LORD, H3068 to cleanse H2891 the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Now they began H2490 on the first H7223 day of the first H7223 month H2320 to sanctify, H6942 and on the eighth H8066 day of the month H2320 came H935 they to the porch H197 of the LORD: H3068 so they sanctified H6942 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 in eight H8083 days; H3117 and in the sixteenth H8337 H6240 day of the first H7223 month H2320 they made an end. H3615

Moreover all H3605 the vessels, H3627 which H834 king H4428 Ahaz H271 in his reign H4438 did cast H2186 away in his transgression, H4604 have we prepared H3559 and sanctified, H6942 and, behold, H2009 they are before H6440 the altar H4196 of the LORD. H3068

And they brought H935 seven H7651 bullocks, H6499 and seven H7651 rams, H352 and seven H7651 lambs, H3532 and seven H7651 he goats, H5795 for a sin H2403 offering for the kingdom, H4467 and for the sanctuary, H4720 and for Judah. H3063 And he commanded H559 the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 to offer H5927 them on H5921 the altar H4196 of the LORD. H3068

And they brought H5066 forth the he goats H8163 for the sin H2403 offering before H6440 the king H4428 and the congregation; H6951 and they laid H5564 their hands H3027 on them:

And he set H5975 the Levites H3881 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 with cymbals, H4700 with psalteries, H5035 and with harps, H3658 according to the commandment H4687 of David, H1732 and of Gad H1410 the king's H4428 seer, H2374 and Nathan H5416 the prophet: H5030 for so was the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 by his prophets. H5030

And Hezekiah H2396 commanded H559 to offer H5927 the burnt H5930 offering on the altar. H4196 And when H6256 the burnt H5930 offering began, H2490 the song H7892 of the LORD H3068 began H2490 also with the trumpets, H2689 and with the instruments H3627 ordained by David H1732 king H4428 of Israel. H3478

And when they had made an end H3615 of offering, H5927 the king H4428 and all H3605 that were present H4672 with him bowed H3766 themselves, and worshipped. H7812

Then Hezekiah H2396 answered H6030 and said, H559 Now H6258 you have consecrated H4390 H3027 yourselves H3027 to the LORD, H3068 come H5066 near H5066 and bring H935 sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 And the congregation H6951 brought H935 in sacrifices H2077 and thank H8426 offerings; and as many as were of a free H5081 heart H3820 burnt H5930 offerings.

Now it came H1961 to pass in the fourteenth H702 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Hezekiah, H2396 that Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 of Assyria H804 came H5927 up against H5921 all H3605 the defended H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and took H8610 them.

Then came H3318 forth H3318 to him Eliakim, H471 Hilkiah's H2518 son, H1121 which H834 was over H5921 the house, H1004 and Shebna H7644 the scribe, H5608 and Joah, H3098 Asaph's H623 son, H1121 the recorder. H2142

I say, H559 say you, (but they are but vain H8193 words) H1697 I have counsel H6098 and strength H1369 for war: H4421 now H6258 on H5921 whom H4310 do you trust, H982 that you rebel H4775 against me?

But if you say H559 to me, We trust H982 in the LORD H3068 our God: H430 is it not he, whose H834 H853 high H1116 places and whose H853 altars H4196 Hezekiah H2396 has taken H5493 away, H5493 and said H559 to Judah H3063 and to Jerusalem, H3389 You shall worship H7812 before H6440 this H2088 altar? H4196

How H349 then will you turn H7725 away the face H6440 of one H259 captain H6346 of the least H6996 of my master's H113 servants, H5650 and put your trust H982 on H5921 Egypt H4714 for chariots H7393 and for horsemen? H6571

Then said H559 Eliakim H471 and Shebna H7644 and Joah H3098 to Rabshakeh, H7262 Speak, H1696 I pray H4994 you, to your servants H5650 in the Syrian H762 language; for we understand H8085 it: and speak H1696 not to us in the Jews' H3064 language, in the ears H241 of the people H5971 that are on H5921 the wall. H2346

Then Rabshakeh H7262 stood, H5975 and cried H7121 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 in the Jews' H3064 language, and said, H559 Hear H8085 you the words H1697 of the great H1419 king, H4428 the king H4428 of Assyria. H804

Neither H408 let Hezekiah H2396 make you trust H982 in the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 The LORD H3068 will surely deliver H5337 us: this H2063 city H5892 shall not be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Assyria. H804

Until H5704 I come H935 and take H3947 you away to a land H776 like your own land, H776 a land H776 of corn H1715 and wine, H8492 a land H776 of bread H3899 and vineyards. H3754

Where H346 are the gods H430 of Hamath H2574 and Arphad? H774 where H346 are the gods H430 of Sepharvaim? H5617 and have they delivered H5337 Samaria H8111 out of my hand? H3027

But they held H2790 their peace, H2790 and answered H6030 him not a word: H1697 for the king's H4428 commandment H4687 was, saying, H559 Answer H6030 him not.
