And the king
<04428>

and they gathered
<0622> (8799)

unto him all the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>

and of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And the king
<04428>

went up
<05927> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all the men

of Jerusalem
<03389>

with him, and the priests

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>

<05612>

of the covenant
<01285>

which was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

<03068>_.

{both...: Heb. from small even unto great}

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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}

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}

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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>_;

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>_.

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}

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.
