2CH-11:13 And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all

Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. <all> <coasts>

2CH-11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their

possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem:for Jeroboam and his

sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto

the LORD:<came> <cast> <executing> <had> <jeroboam> <jerusalem>

2CH-11:15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and

for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. <calves>

<which>

2CH-11:16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as

set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to

Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.

2CH-11:17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made

Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years:for three years

they walked in the way of David and Solomon. <david> <judah>

2CH-11:18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of

Jerimoth the son of David to wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of

Eliab the son of Jesse; <daughter> <david> <eliab> <him>

2CH-11:19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shemariah, and

Zaham. <bare> <children> <him> <jeush> <shemariah> <which>

<zaham>

2CH-11:20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom;

which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

2CH-11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom

above all his wives and his concubines:(for he took eighteen

wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight

sons, and threescore daughters. ) <all> <begat> <concubines>

2CH-11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief,

[to be] ruler among his brethren:for [he thought] to make him

king. <among> <brethren> <chief> <him> <king> <maachah> <made>

2CH-11:23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children

throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every

fenced city:and he gave them victual in abundance. And he

desired many wives. <all> <benjamin> <children> <city>

2CH-12:1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the

kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the

LORD, and all Israel with him. <all> <came> <established>

2CH-12:2 And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king

Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,

because they had transgressed against the LORD, <against>

2CH-12:3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand

horsemen:and the people [were] without number that came with him

out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.

2CH-12:4 And he took the fenced cities which [pertained] to

Judah, and came to Jerusalem. <came> <cities> <fenced>

2CH-12:5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to]

the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem

because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye

have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand

of Shishak. <also> <because> <came> <forsaken> <gathered> <hand>

2CH-12:6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled

themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous. <humbled>

2CH-12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the

word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled

themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will

grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured

out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. <came> <deliverance>

2CH-12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may

know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the

countries. <countries> <kingdoms> <know> <may> <nevertheless>

2CH-12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and

took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the

treasures of the king's house; he took all:he carried away also

the shields of gold which Solomon had made. <against> <all>

2CH-12:10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass,

and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard,

that kept the entrance of the king's house. <brass> <chief>

2CH-12:11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD,

the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the

guard chamber. <again> <brought> <came> <chamber> <entered>

2CH-12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD

turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether:and

also in Judah things went well. <also> <altogether> <destroy>

2CH-12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem,

and reigned:for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he

began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the

city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,

to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an

Ammonitess. <all> <ammonitess> <began> <chosen> <city> <forty>

<years>

2CH-12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to

seek the LORD. <because> <did> <evil> <heart> <lord> <prepared>

<seek>

2CH-12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they

not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the

seer concerning genealogies? And [there were] wars between

Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. <between> <book> <concerning>

2CH-12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in

the city of David:and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

2CH-13:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began

Abijah to reign over Judah. <began> <eighteenth> <jeroboam>

2CH-13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name

also [was] Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there

was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. <also> <between> <daughter>

2CH-13:3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of

valiant men of war, [even] four hundred thousand chosen men:

Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight

hundred thousand chosen men, [being] mighty men of valour.

2CH-13:4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which [is] in

mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

2CH-13:5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave

the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, [even] to him and to

his sons by a covenant of salt? <covenant> <david> <ever> <gave>

<sons>

2CH-13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon

the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his

lord. <against> <david> <hath> <jeroboam> <lord> <nebat>

2CH-13:7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children

of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the

son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and

could not withstand them. <against> <are> <belial> <children>

2CH-13:8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD

in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [be] a great multitude,

and [there are] with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you

for gods. <are> <calves> <david> <gods> <golden> <great> <hand>

2CH-13:9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons

of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the

manner of the nations of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh

to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, [the

same] may be a priest of [them that are] no gods. <after> <are>

2CH-13:10 But as for us, the LORD [is] our God, and we have not

forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD,

[are] the sons of Aaron, and the Levites [wait] upon [their]

business:<forsaken> <god> <have> <him> <levites> <lord>

2CH-13:11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every

evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense:the showbread also

[set they in order] upon the pure table; and the candlestick of

gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening:for we keep

the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. <also>

2CH-13:12 And, behold, God himself [is] with us for [our]

captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm

against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD

God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. <against> <alarm>

2CH-13:13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind

them:so they were before Judah, and the ambushment [was] behind

them. <ambushment> <before> <behind> <caused> <come> <jeroboam>

2CH-13:14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle [was]

before and behind:and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests

sounded with the trumpets. <back> <battle> <before> <behind>

2CH-13:15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout:and as the men of

Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all

Israel before Abijah and Judah. <all> <before> <came> <gave>

2CH-13:16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah:and God

delivered them into their hand. <before> <children> <delivered>

2CH-13:17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great

slaughter:so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred

thousand chosen men. <chosen> <down> <fell> <five> <great>

2CH-13:18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that

time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied

upon the LORD God of their fathers. <because> <brought>

2CH-13:19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities

from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the

towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. <after>

2CH-13:20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the

days of Abijah:and the LORD struck him, and he died. <again>

2CH-13:21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives,

and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. <begat>

2CH-13:22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and

his sayings, [are] written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

2CH-14:1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him

in the city of David:and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In

his days the land was quiet ten years. <asa> <buried> <city>

2CH-14:2 And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes

of the LORD his God:<asa> <did> <eyes> <good> <lord> <right>

<which>

2CH-14:3 For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and

the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the

groves:<altars> <away> <brake> <cut> <down> <high> <images>

2CH-14:4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their

fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. <commanded>

2CH-14:5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the

high places and the images:and the kingdom was quiet before him.

2CH-14:6 And he built fenced cities in Judah:for the land had

rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had

given him rest. <because> <built> <cities> <fenced> <given>

<years>

2CH-14:7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities,

and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars,

[while] the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the

LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he hath given us rest on

every side. So they built and prospered. <bars> <because>

2CH-14:8 And Asa had an army [of men] that bare targets and

spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin,

that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore

thousand:all these [were] mighty men of valour. <all> <army>

2CH-14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian

with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots;

and came unto Mareshah. <against> <came> <chariots> <ethiopian>

<zerah>

2CH-14:10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle

in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. <against>

2CH-14:11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD,

[it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with

them that have no power:help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on

thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou

[art] our God; let not man prevail against thee. <against> <asa>

2CH-14:12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and

before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. <asa> <before>

2CH-14:13 And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued

them unto Gerar:and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they

could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the

LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

2CH-14:14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for

the fear of the LORD came upon them:and they spoiled all the

cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. <all> <came>

2CH-14:15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away

sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. <also>

2CH-15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

2CH-15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye

me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you,

while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of

you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. <all> <asa>

2CH-15:3 Now for a long season Israel [hath been] without the

true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. <been>

2CH-15:4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD

God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. <did>

<when>

2CH-15:5 And in those times [there was] no peace to him that

went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations [were]

upon all the inhabitants of the countries. <all> <came>

2CH-15:6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city:

for God did vex them with all adversity. <adversity> <all>

2CH-15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak:

for your work shall be rewarded. <hands> <let> <rewarded>

2CH-15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of

Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable

idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the

cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the

altar of the LORD, that [was] before the porch of the LORD.

2CH-15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the

strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of

Simeon:for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when

they saw that the LORD his God [was] with him. <all> <benjamin>

2CH-15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in

the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

2CH-15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the

spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven

thousand sheep. <brought> <had> <hundred> <lord> <offered>

2CH-15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God

of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

2CH-15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel

should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or

woman. <death> <god> <great> <israel> <lord> <man> <or> <put>

2CH-15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and

with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. <cornets>

2CH-15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath:for they had sworn

with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire;

and he was found of them:and the LORD gave them rest round about.

<with>

2CH-15:16 And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the

king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an

idol in a grove:and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and

burnt [it] at the brook Kidron. <also> <asa> <because> <brook>

2CH-15:17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel:

nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. <all>

2CH-15:18 And he brought into the house of God the things that

his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated,

silver, and gold, and vessels. <brought> <dedicated> <father>

2CH-15:19 And there was no [more] war unto the five and

thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. <asa> <five> <no> <reign>

2CH-16:1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa

Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to

the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king

of Judah. <against> <asa> <baasha> <built> <came> <come> <go>

2CH-16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the

treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and

sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

2CH-16:3 [There is] a league between me and thee, as [there was]

between my father and thy father:behold, I have sent thee silver

and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that

he may depart from me. <baasha> <behold> <between> <break>

2CH-16:4 And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the

captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they

smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of

Naphtali. <against> <all> <armies> <asa> <benhadad> <captains>

2CH-16:5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he

left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. <baasha>

2CH-16:6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away

the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha

was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. <all>

2CH-16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of

Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king

of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the

host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. <asa>

2CH-16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host,

with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst

rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. <because>

2CH-16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the

whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them]

whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done

foolishly:therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

2CH-16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a

prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this

[thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same time.

2CH-16:11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they

[are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

2CH-16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was

diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great]:

yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the

physicians. <asa> <disease> <diseased> <exceeding> <feet> <lord>

<yet>

2CH-16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one

and fortieth year of his reign. <asa> <died> <fathers>

2CH-16:14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he

had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the

bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of

spices] prepared by the apothecaries' art:and they made a very

great burning for him. <art> <bed> <buried> <burning> <city>

2CH-17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and

strengthened himself against Israel. <against> <himself>

2CH-17:2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah,

and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of

Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. <all> <asa> <cities>

2CH-17:3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in

the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

2CH-17:4 But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked

in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. <after>

2CH-17:5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand;

and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches

and honour in abundance. <all> <brought> <had> <hand> <honour>

2CH-17:6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD:

moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

2CH-17:7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his

princes, [even] to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah,

and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of

Judah. <also> <benhail> <cities> <judah> <michaiah> <nethaneel>

2CH-17:8 And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and

Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and

Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites;

and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. <asahel> <elishama>

2CH-17:9 And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law

of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities

of Judah, and taught the people. <all> <book> <cities> <judah>

2CH-17:10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of

the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no

war against Jehoshaphat. <against> <all> <fear> <fell>

2CH-17:11 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat

presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him

flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven

thousand and seven hundred he goats. <also> <arabians> <brought>

2CH-17:12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built

in Judah castles, and cities of store. <built> <castles>

<waxed>

2CH-17:13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah:and

the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.

2CH-17:14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the

house of their fathers:Of Judah, the captains of thousands;

Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred

thousand. <captains> <chief> <fathers> <him> <house> <hundred>

2CH-17:15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with

him two hundred and fourscore thousand. <captain> <fourscore>

2CH-17:16 And next him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who

willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two

hundred thousand mighty men of valour. <amasiah> <him> <himself>

2CH-17:17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and

with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.

2CH-17:18 And next him [was] Jehozabad, and with him an hundred

and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. <fourscore>

2CH-17:19 These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king

put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah. <all> <beside>

2CH-18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and

joined affinity with Ahab. <affinity> <ahab> <had> <honour>

2CH-18:2 And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab to

Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance,

and for the people that [he had] with him, and persuaded him to

go up [with him] to Ramothgilead. <after> <ahab> <down> <go>

2CH-18:3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of

Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him,

I [am] as thou [art], and my people as thy people; and [we will

be] with thee in the war. <ahab> <answered> <go> <him> <israel>

2CH-18:4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire,

I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. <day> <inquire>

2CH-18:5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of

prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to

Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up;

for God will deliver [it] into the king's hand. <battle>

2CH-18:6 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of

the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him? <besides> <here>

2CH-18:7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There

is] yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD:but I hate

him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil:the

same [is] Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not

the king say so. <always> <evil> <good> <hate> <him> <imla>

2CH-18:8 And the king of Israel called for one [of his] officers,

and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. <called>

2CH-18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah

sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and

they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of

Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. <all>

2CH-18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns

of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt

push Syria until they be consumed. <chenaanah> <consumed> <had>

2CH-18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to

Ramothgilead, and prosper:for the LORD shall deliver [it] into

the hand of the king. <all> <deliver> <go> <hand> <into> <king>

<so>

2CH-18:12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to

him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to

the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee,

be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. <assent> <behold>

2CH-18:13 And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, even what my

God saith, that will I speak. <even> <god> <liveth> <lord>

2CH-18:14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto

him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I

forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be

delivered into your hand. <battle> <come> <delivered> <forbear>
