2 Kings 21:1--23:37

21:1
Manasseh
<04519>
[was] twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
fifty
<02572>
and five
<02568>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Hephzibah
<02657>_.
21:2
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
after the abominations
<08441>
of the heathen
<01471>_,
whom the LORD
<03068>
cast out
<03423> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
21:3
For he built up
<01129> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
the high places
<01116>
which Hezekiah
<02396>
his father
<01>
had destroyed
<06> (8765)_;
and he reared up
<06965> (8686)
altars
<04196>
for Baal
<01168>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a grove
<0842>_,
as did
<06213> (8804)
Ahab
<0256>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_;
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
them.
21:4
And he built
<01129> (8804)
altars
<04196>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
of which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
In Jerusalem
<03389>
will I put
<07760> (8799)
my name
<08034>_.
21:5
And he built
<01129> (8799)
altars
<04196>
for all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
in the two
<08147>
courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
21:6
And he made his son
<01121>
pass
<05674> (8689)
through the fire
<0784>_,
and observed times
<06049> (8782)_,
and used enchantments
<05172> (8765)_,
and dealt
<06213> (8804)
with familiar spirits
<0178>
and wizards
<03049>_:
he wrought
<06213> (8800)
much
<07235> (8689)
wickedness
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to provoke [him] to anger
<03707> (8687)_.
21:7
And he set
<07760> (8799)
a graven image
<06459>
of the grove
<0842>
that he had made
<06213> (8804)
in the house
<01004>_,
of which the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
to David
<01732>_,
and to Solomon
<08010>
his son
<01121>_,
In this house
<01004>_,
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)
out of all tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
will I put
<07760> (8799)
my name
<08034>
for ever
<05769>_:
21:8
Neither will I make the feet
<07272>
of Israel
<03478>
move
<05110> (8687)
any more
<03254> (8686)
out of the land
<0127>
which I gave
<05414> (8804)
their fathers
<01>_;
only if they will observe
<08104> (8799)
to do
<06213> (8800)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
them, and according to all the law
<08451>
that my servant
<05650>
Moses
<04872>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
them.
21:9
But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not: and Manasseh
<04519>
seduced
<08582> (8686)
them to do
<06213> (8800)
more evil
<07451>
than did the nations
<01471>
whom the LORD
<03068>
destroyed
<08045> (8689)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
21:10
And the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8762)
by
<03027>
his servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
21:11
Because Manasseh
<04519>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
these abominations
<08441>_,
[and] hath done wickedly
<07489> (8689)
above all that the Amorites
<0567>
did
<06213> (8804)_,
which [were] before
<06440>
him, and hath made Judah
<03063>
also to sin
<02398> (8686)
with his idols
<01544>_:
21:12
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I [am] bringing
<0935> (8688)
[such] evil
<07451>
upon Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
that whosoever heareth
<08085> (8802)
of it, both
<08147>
his ears
<0241>
shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.
21:13
And I will stretch
<05186> (8804)
over Jerusalem
<03389>
the line
<06957>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
and the plummet
<04949>
of the house
<01004>
of Ahab
<0256>_:
and I will wipe
<04229> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>
as [a man] wipeth
<04229> (8799)
a dish
<06747>_,
wiping
<04229> (8804)
[it], and turning
<02015> (8804)
[it] upside down
<06440>_.
{wiping...: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof}
21:14
And I will forsake
<05203> (8804)
the remnant
<07611>
of mine inheritance
<05159>_,
and deliver
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
and they shall become a prey
<0957>
and a spoil
<04933>
to all their enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
21:15
Because they have done
<06213> (8804)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in my sight
<05869>_,
and have provoked
<04480>
me to anger
<03707> (8688)_,
since the day
<03117>
their fathers
<01>
came forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
even unto this day
<03117>_.
21:16
Moreover Manasseh
<04519>
shed
<08210> (8804)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_,
till he had filled
<04390> (8765)
Jerusalem
<03389>
from one end
<06310>
to another
<06310>_;
beside his sin
<02403>
wherewith he made Judah
<03063>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_,
in doing
<06213> (8800)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{from...: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
21:17
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
and his sin
<02403>
that he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
21:18
And Manasseh
<04519>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the garden
<01588>
of his own house
<01004>_,
in the garden
<01588>
of Uzza
<05798>_:
and Amon
<0526>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
21:19
Amon
<0526>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Meshullemeth
<04922>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Haruz
<02743>
of Jotbah
<03192>_.
21:20
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as his father
<01>
Manasseh
<04519>
did
<06213> (8804)_.
21:21
And he walked
<03212> (8799)
in all the way
<01870>
that his father
<01>
walked in
<01980> (8804)_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
the idols
<01544>
that his father
<01>
served
<05647> (8804)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
them:
21:22
And he forsook
<05800> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_,
and walked
<01980> (8804)
not in the way
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
21:23
And the servants
<05650>
of Amon
<0526>
conspired
<07194> (8799)
against him, and slew
<04191> (8686)
the king
<04428>
in his own house
<01004>_.
21:24
And the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
slew
<05221> (8686)
all them that had conspired
<07194> (8802)
against king
<04428>
Amon
<0526>_;
and the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
made Josiah
<02977>
his son
<01121>
king
<04427> (8686)
in his stead.
21:25
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Amon
<0526>
which he did
<06213> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
21:26
And he was buried
<06912> (8799)
in his sepulchre
<06900>
in the garden
<01588>
of Uzza
<05798>_:
and Josiah
<02977>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead. {Josiah: Gr. Josias}
22:1
Josiah
<02977>
[was] eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
thirty
<07970>
and one
<0259>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Jedidah
<03040>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Adaiah
<05718>
of Boscath
<01218>_.
22:2
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in all the way
<01870>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_,
and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)
to the right hand
<03225>
or to the left
<08040>_.
22:3
And it came to pass in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Josiah
<02977>_,
[that] the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8804)
Shaphan
<08227>
the son
<01121>
of Azaliah
<0683>_,
the son
<01121>
of Meshullam
<04918>_,
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
22:4
Go up
<05927> (8798)
to Hilkiah
<02518>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
that he may sum
<08552> (8686)
the silver
<03701>
which is brought
<0935> (8716)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which the keepers
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>
have gathered
<0622> (8804)
of the people
<05971>_:
{door: Heb. threshold}
22:5
And let them deliver
<05414> (8799)
it into the hand
<03027>
of the doers
<06213> (8802)
of the work
<04399>_,
that have the oversight
<06485> (8716)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and let them give
<05414> (8799)
it to the doers
<06213> (8802)
of the work
<04399>
which [is] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to repair
<02388> (8763)
the breaches
<0919>
of the house
<01004>_,
22:6
Unto carpenters
<02796>_,
and builders
<01129> (8802)_,
and masons
<01443> (8802)_,
and to buy
<07069> (8800)
timber
<06086>
and hewn
<04274>
stone
<068>
to repair
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>_.
22:7
Howbeit there was no reckoning made
<02803> (8735)
with them of the money
<03701>
that was delivered
<05414> (8737)
into their hand
<03027>_,
because they dealt
<06213> (8802)
faithfully
<0530>_.
22:8
And Hilkiah
<02518>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
I have found
<04672> (8804)
the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Hilkiah
<02518>
gave
<05414> (8799)
the book
<05612>
to Shaphan
<08227>_,
and he read
<07121> (8799)
it.
22:9
And Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
came
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
and brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy servants
<05650>
have gathered
<05413> (8689)
the money
<03701>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>_,
and have delivered
<05414> (8799)
it into the hand
<03027>
of them that do
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>_,
that have the oversight
<06485> (8716)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{gathered: Heb. melted}
22:10
And Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
shewed
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
me a book
<05612>_.
And Shaphan
<08227>
read
<07121> (8799)
it before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
22:11
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_.
22:12
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>_,
and Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Achbor
<05907>
the son
<01121>
of Michaiah
<04320>_,
and Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Asahiah
<06222>
a servant
<05650>
of the king's
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Achbor: or, Abdon} {Michaiah: or, Micah}
22:13
Go
<03212> (8798)
ye, enquire
<01875> (8798)
of the LORD
<03068>
for me, and for the people
<05971>_,
and for all Judah
<03063>_,
concerning the words
<01697>
of this book
<05612>
that is found
<04672> (8737)_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the wrath
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>
that is kindled
<03341> (8738)
against us, because our fathers
<01>
have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto the words
<01697>
of this book
<05612>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
according unto all that which is written
<03789> (8803)
concerning us.
22:14
So Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>_,
and Ahikam
<0296>_,
and Achbor
<05907>_,
and Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Asahiah
<06222>_,
went
<03212> (8799)
unto Huldah
<02468>
the prophetess
<05031>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Shallum
<07967>
the son
<01121>
of Tikvah
<08616>_,
the son
<01121>
of Harhas
<02745>_,
keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the wardrobe
<0899>_;
(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
in the college
<04932>;)
and they communed
<01696> (8762)
with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the...: or, in the second part}
22:15
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Tell
<0559> (8798)
the man
<0376>
that sent
<07971> (8804)
you to me,
22:16
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon this place
<04725>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, [even] all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
which the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
hath read
<07121> (8804)_:
22:17
Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
that they might provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)
with all the works
<04639>
of their hands
<03027>_;
therefore my wrath
<02534>
shall be kindled
<03341> (8738)
against this place
<04725>_,
and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.
22:18
But to the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
which sent
<07971> (8802)
you to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
to him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[As touching] the words
<01697>
which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_;
22:19
Because thine heart
<03824>
was tender
<07401> (8804)_,
and thou hast humbled
<03665> (8735)
thyself before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)
what I spake
<01696> (8765)
against this place
<04725>_,
and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, that they should become a desolation
<08047>
and a curse
<07045>_,
and hast rent
<07167> (8799)
thy clothes
<0899>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
before
<06440>
me; I also have heard
<08085> (8804)
[thee], saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
22:20
Behold therefore, I will gather
<0622> (8802)
thee unto thy fathers
<01>_,
and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)
into thy grave
<06913>
in peace
<07965>_;
and thine eyes
<05869>
shall not see
<07200> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
which I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon this place
<04725>_.
And they brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
23:1
And the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and they gathered
<0622> (8799)
unto him all the elders
<02205>
of Judah
<03063>
and of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
23:2
And the king
<04428>
went up
<05927> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and all the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
with him, and the priests
<03548>_,
and the prophets
<05030>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_:
and he read
<07121> (8799)
in their ears
<0241>
all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
of the covenant
<01285>
which was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{both...: Heb. from small even unto great}
23:3
And the king
<04428>
stood
<05975> (8799)
by a pillar
<05982>_,
and made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
after
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and to keep
<08104> (8800)
his commandments
<04687>
and his testimonies
<05715>
and his statutes
<02708>
with all [their] heart
<03820>
and all [their] soul
<05315>_,
to perform
<06965> (8687)
the words
<01697>
of this covenant
<01285>
that were written
<03789> (8803)
in this book
<05612>_.
And all the people
<05971>
stood
<05975> (8799)
to the covenant
<01285>_.
23:4
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Hilkiah
<02518>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
and the priests
<03548>
of the second order
<04932>_,
and the keepers
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>_,
to bring forth
<03318> (8687)
out of the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>
all the vessels
<03627>
that were made
<06213> (8803)
for Baal
<01168>_,
and for the grove
<0842>_,
and for all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_:
and he burned
<08313> (8799)
them without
<02351>
Jerusalem
<03389>
in the fields
<07709>
of Kidron
<06939>_,
and carried
<05375> (8804)
the ashes
<06083>
of them unto Bethel
<01008>_.
23:5
And he put down
<07673> (8689)
the idolatrous priests
<03649>_,
whom the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had ordained
<05414> (8804)
to burn incense
<06999> (8762)
in the high places
<01116>
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the places round about
<04524>
Jerusalem
<03389>_;
them also that burned incense
<06999> (8764)
unto Baal
<01168>_,
to the sun
<08121>_,
and to the moon
<03394>_,
and to the planets
<04208>_,
and to all the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_.
{put...: Heb. caused to cease} {idolatrous...: Heb. Chemarim} {planets: or, twelve signs or, constellations}
23:6
And he brought out
<03318> (8686)
the grove
<0842>
from the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
without
<02351>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
unto the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_,
and burned
<08313> (8799)
it at the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_,
and stamped [it] small
<01854> (8686)
to powder
<06083>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
the powder
<06083>
thereof upon the graves
<06913>
of the children
<01121>
of the people
<05971>_.
23:7
And he brake down
<05422> (8799)
the houses
<01004>
of the sodomites
<06945>_,
that [were] by the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
where the women
<0802>
wove
<0707> (8802)
hangings
<01004>
for the grove
<0842>_.
{hangings: Heb. houses}
23:8
And he brought
<0935> (8686)
all the priests
<03548>
out of the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and defiled
<02930> (8762)
the high places
<01116>
where the priests
<03548>
had burned incense
<06999> (8765)_,
from Geba
<01387>
to Beersheba
<0884>_,
and brake down
<05422> (8804)
the high places
<01116>
of the gates
<08179>
that [were] in the entering in
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of Joshua
<03091>
the governor
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
which [were] on a man's
<0376>
left hand
<08040>
at the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_.
23:9
Nevertheless the priests
<03548>
of the high places
<01116>
came not up
<05927> (8799)
to the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
but they did eat
<0398> (8804)
of the unleavened bread
<04682>
among
<08432>
their brethren
<0251>_.
23:10
And he defiled
<02930> (8765)
Topheth
<08612>_,
which [is] in the valley
<01516>
of the children
<01121> (8675) <01121>
of Hinnom
<02011>_,
that no man
<0376>
might make his son
<01121>
or his daughter
<01323>
to pass through
<05674> (8687)
the fire
<0784>
to Molech
<04432>_.
23:11
And he took away
<07673> (8686)
the horses
<05483>
that the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had given
<05414> (8804)
to the sun
<08121>_,
at the entering in
<0935> (8800)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
by the chamber
<03957>
of Nathanmelech
<05419>
the chamberlain
<05631>_,
which [was] in the suburbs
<06503>_,
and burned
<08313> (8804)
the chariots
<04818>
of the sun
<08121>
with fire
<0784>_.
{chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer}
23:12
And the altars
<04196>
that [were] on the top
<01406>
of the upper chamber
<05944>
of Ahaz
<0271>_,
which the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
and the altars
<04196>
which Manasseh
<04519>
had made
<06213> (8804)
in the two
<08147>
courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
did the king
<04428>
beat down
<05422> (8804)_,
and brake [them] down
<07323> (8799)
from thence, and cast
<07993> (8689)
the dust
<06083>
of them into the brook
<05158>
Kidron
<06939>_.
{brake...: or, ran from thence}
23:13
And the high places
<01116>
that [were] before
<06440>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
which [were] on the right hand
<03225>
of the mount
<02022>
of corruption
<04889>_,
which Solomon
<08010>
the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
had builded
<01129> (8804)
for Ashtoreth
<06253>
the abomination
<08251>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
and for Chemosh
<03645>
the abomination
<08251>
of the Moabites
<04124>_,
and for Milcom
<04445>
the abomination
<08441>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
did the king
<04428>
defile
<02930> (8765)_.
{the mount...: that is, the mount of Olives}
23:14
And he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765)
the images
<04676>_,
and cut down
<03772> (8799)
the groves
<0842>_,
and filled
<04390> (8762)
their places
<04725>
with the bones
<06106>
of men
<0120>_.
{images: Heb. statues}
23:15
Moreover the altar
<04196>
that [was] at Bethel
<01008>_,
[and] the high place
<01116>
which Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
who made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_,
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
both that altar
<04196>
and the high place
<01116>
he brake down
<05422> (8804)_,
and burned
<08313> (8799)
the high place
<01116>_,
[and] stamped
<01854> (8689)
[it] small to powder
<06083>_,
and burned
<08313> (8804)
the grove
<0842>_.
23:16
And as Josiah
<02977>
turned
<06437> (8799)
himself, he spied
<07200> (8799)
the sepulchres
<06913>
that [were] there in the mount
<02022>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the bones
<06106>
out of the sepulchres
<06913>_,
and burned
<08313> (8799)
[them] upon the altar
<04196>_,
and polluted
<02930> (8762)
it, according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
proclaimed
<07121> (8804)_,
who proclaimed
<07121> (8804)
these words
<01697>_.
23:17
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What title
<06725>
[is] that
<01975>
that I see
<07200> (8802)_?
And the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
told
<0559> (8799)
him, [It is] the sepulchre
<06913>
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
which came
<0935> (8804)
from Judah
<03063>_,
and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)
these things
<01697>
that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
against the altar
<04196>
of Bethel
<01008>_.
23:18
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let him alone
<03240> (8685)_;
let no man
<0376>
move
<05128> (8686)
his bones
<06106>_.
So they let his bones
<06106>
alone
<04422> (8762)_,
with the bones
<06106>
of the prophet
<05030>
that came out
<0935> (8804)
of Samaria
<08111>_.
{bones alone: Heb. bones to escape}
23:19
And all the houses
<01004>
also of the high places
<01116>
that [were] in the cities
<05892>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
which the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
had made
<06213> (8804)
to provoke [the LORD] to anger
<03707> (8687)_,
Josiah
<02977>
took away
<05493> (8689)_,
and did
<06213> (8799)
to them according to all the acts
<04639>
that he had done
<06213> (8804)
in Bethel
<01008>_.
23:20
And he slew
<02076> (8799)
all the priests
<03548>
of the high places
<01116>
that [were] there upon the altars
<04196>_,
and burned
<08313> (8799)
men's
<0120>
bones
<06106>
upon them, and returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{slew: or, sacrificed}
23:21
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Keep
<06213> (8798)
the passover
<06453>
unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of this covenant
<01285>_.
23:22
Surely there was not holden
<06213> (8738)
such a passover
<06453>
from the days
<03117>
of the judges
<08199> (8802)
that judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_,
nor in all the days
<03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
nor of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_;
23:23
But in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Josiah
<02977>_,
[wherein] this passover
<06453>
was holden
<06213> (8738)
to the LORD
<03068>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
23:24
Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and the wizards
<03049>_,
and the images
<08655>_,
and the idols
<01544>_,
and all the abominations
<08251>
that were spied
<07200> (8738)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
did Josiah
<02977>
put away
<01197> (8765)_,
that he might perform
<06965> (8687)
the words
<01697>
of the law
<08451>
which were written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
that Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
found
<04672> (8804)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{images: or, teraphim}
23:25
And like unto him was there no king
<04428>
before
<06440>
him, that turned
<07725> (8804)
to the LORD
<03068>
with all his heart
<03824>_,
and with all his soul
<05315>_,
and with all his might
<03966>_,
according to all the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_;
neither after
<0310>
him arose
<06965> (8804)
there [any] like him.
23:26
Notwithstanding the LORD
<03068>
turned
<07725> (8804)
not from the fierceness
<02740>
of his great
<01419>
wrath
<0639>_,
wherewith his anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8804)
against Judah
<03063>_,
because of all the provocations
<03708>
that Manasseh
<04519>
had provoked
<03707> (8689)
him withal. {provocations: Heb. angers}
23:27
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will remove
<05493> (8686)
Judah
<03063>
also out of my sight
<06440>_,
as I have removed
<05493> (8689)
Israel
<03478>_,
and will cast off
<03988> (8804)
this city
<05892>
Jerusalem
<03389>
which I have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
and the house
