2CH-32:27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour:and

he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for

precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all

manner of pleasant jewels; <all> <exceeding> <gold> <had>

2CH-32:28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine,

and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for

flocks. <all> <also> <beasts> <corn> <cotes> <flocks> <increase>

2CH-32:29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of

flocks and herds in abundance:for God had given him substance

very much. <cities> <flocks> <given> <god> <had> <herds> <him>

2CH-32:30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse

of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the

city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. <all>

2CH-32:31 Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the

princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder

that was [done] in the land, God left him, to try him, that he

might know all [that was] in his heart. <all> <ambassadors>

2CH-32:32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness,

behold, they [are] written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet,

the son of Amoz, [and] in the book of the kings of Judah and

Israel. <amoz> <behold> <book> <goodness> <hezekiah> <isaiah>

2CH-32:33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried

him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David:and

all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his

death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. <all> <buried>

2CH-33:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:<began> <fifty>

2CH-33:2 But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,

like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had

cast out before the children of Israel. <before> <cast>

2CH-33:3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his

father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and

made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served

them. <again> <all> <altars> <baalim> <broken> <built> <down>

2CH-33:4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof

the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

2CH-33:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the

two courts of the house of the LORD. <all> <altars> <built>

2CH-33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in

the valley of the son of Hinnom:also he observed times, and used

enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar

spirit, and with wizards:he wrought much evil in the sight of

the LORD, to provoke him to anger. <also> <anger> <caused>

2CH-33:7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made,

in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to

Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have

chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for

ever:<all> <before> <carved> <chosen> <david> <god> <had> <have>

2CH-33:8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from

out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that

they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them,

according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances

by the hand of Moses. <all> <any> <appointed> <commanded> <do>

2CH-33:9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem

to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had

destroyed before the children of Israel. <before> <children>

<worse>

2CH-33:10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people:but

they would not hearken. <hearken> <lord> <manasseh> <people>

2CH-33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of

the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the

thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

2CH-33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD

his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his

fathers, <affliction> <before> <besought> <god> <greatly>

2CH-33:13 And prayed unto him:and he was entreated of him, and

heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into

his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [was] God.

2CH-33:14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of

David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the

entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and

raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all

the fenced cities of Judah. <after> <all> <built> <captains>

2CH-33:15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of

the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in

the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast

[them] out of the city. <all> <altars> <away> <built> <cast>

2CH-33:16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed

thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah

to serve the LORD God of Israel. <altar> <commanded> <god>

2CH-33:17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the

high places, [yet] unto the LORD their God only. <did> <god>

2CH-33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer

unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in

the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written]

in the book of the kings of Israel. <behold> <book> <god> <him>

2CH-33:19 His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated of him,

and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he

built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before

he was humbled:behold, they [are] written among the sayings of

the seers. <all> <also> <among> <before> <behold> <built>

2CH-33:20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried

him in his own house:and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

2CH-33:21 Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to

reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. <amon> <began>

2CH-33:22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD, as did Manasseh his father:for Amon sacrificed unto all

the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served

them; <all> <amon> <carved> <did> <evil> <father> <had> <images>

2CH-33:23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh

his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and

more. <amon> <before> <father> <had> <himself> <humbled> <lord>

2CH-33:24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him

in his own house. <against> <conspired> <him> <house> <own>

2CH-33:25 But the people of the land slew all them that had

conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made

Josiah his son king in his stead. <against> <all> <amon>

2CH-34:1 Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. <began>

2CH-34:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined

[neither] to the right hand, nor to the left. <david> <declined>

2CH-34:3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet

young, he began to seek after the God of David his father:and in

the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the

high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the

molten images. <after> <began> <carved> <david> <eighth>

2CH-34:4 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his

presence; and the images, that [were] on high above them, he cut

down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten

images, he brake in pieces, and made dust [of them], and strowed

[it] upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

2CH-34:5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars,

and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. <altars> <bones> <burnt>

2CH-34:6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim,

and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

2CH-34:7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves,

and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all

the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to

Jerusalem. <all> <altars> <beaten> <broken> <cut> <down>

2CH-34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had

purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of

Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son

of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

2CH-34:9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they

delivered the money that was brought into the house of God,

which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand

of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and

of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem. <all>

2CH-34:10 And they put [it] in the hand of the workmen that had

the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the

workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and

amend the house:<amend> <gave> <had> <hand> <house> <lord>

2CH-34:11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they [it], to

buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the

houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. <artificers>

2CH-34:12 And the men did the work faithfully:and the overseers

of them [were] Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of

Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the

Kohathites, to set [it] forward; and [other of] the Levites, all

that could skill of instruments of music. <all> <could> <did>

2CH-34:13 Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, and

[were] overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of

service:and of the Levites [there were] scribes, and officers,

and porters. <all> <also> <any> <bearers> <burdens> <levites>

2CH-34:14 And when they brought out the money that was brought

into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of

the law of the LORD [given] by Moses. <book> <brought> <found>

<when>

2CH-34:15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I

have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And

Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. <answered> <book>

2CH-34:16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought

the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy

servants, they do [it]. <again> <all> <back> <book> <brought>

<word>

2CH-34:17 And they have gathered together the money that was

found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the

hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

2CH-34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah

the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the

king. <before> <book> <given> <hath> <hilkiah> <king> <priest>

2CH-34:19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words

of the law, that he rent his clothes. <came> <clothes> <had>

2CH-34:20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of

Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and

Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying, <ahikam> <asaiah>

2CH-34:21 Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are

left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book

that is found:for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is

poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word

of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.

2CH-34:22 And Hilkiah, and [they] that the king [had appointed],

went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of

Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she

dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to

that [effect]. <dwelt> <hasrah> <hilkiah> <huldah> <jerusalem>

2CH-34:23 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of

Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, <answered> <god>

2CH-34:24 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon

this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the

curses that are written in the book which they have read before

the king of Judah:<all> <are> <before> <behold> <book> <bring>

2CH-34:25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense

unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all

the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out

upon this place, and shall not be quenched. <all> <anger>

2CH-34:26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire

of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God

of Israel [concerning] the words which thou hast heard; <god>

2CH-34:27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble

thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this

place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst

thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before

me; I have even heard [thee] also, saith the LORD. <against>

2CH-34:28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou

shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine

eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and

upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word

again. <again> <all> <behold> <bring> <brought> <evil> <eyes>

2CH-34:29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the

elders of Judah and Jerusalem. <all> <elders> <gathered>

2CH-34:30 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and

all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the

priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small:

and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the

covenant that was found in the house of the LORD. <all> <book>

2CH-34:31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant

before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his

commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all

his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the

covenant which are written in this book. <after> <all> <are>

2CH-34:32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and

Benjamin to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did

according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

2CH-34:33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all

the countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel, and

made all that were present in Israel to serve, [even] to serve

the LORD their God. [And] all his days they departed not from

following the LORD, the God of their fathers. <all> <away>

2CH-35:1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in

Jerusalem:and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day]

of the first month. <first> <fourteenth> <jerusalem> <josiah>

2CH-35:2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged

them to the service of the house of the LORD, <charges>

2CH-35:3 And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which

were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which

Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; [it shall]

not [be] a burden upon [your] shoulders:serve now the LORD your

God, and his people Israel, <all> <ark> <build> <burden> <david>

2CH-35:4 And prepare [yourselves] by the houses of your fathers,

after your courses, according to the writing of David king of

Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. <after>

2CH-35:5 And stand in the holy [place] according to the

divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the

people, and [after] the division of the families of the Levites.

2CH-35:6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and

prepare your brethren, that [they] may do according to the word

of the LORD by the hand of Moses. <brethren> <do> <hand> <kill>

2CH-35:7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and

kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present,

to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks:

these [were] of the king's substance. <all> <bullocks> <flock>

<three>

2CH-35:8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the

priests, and to the Levites:Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel,

rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the

passover offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle],

and three hundred oxen. <gave> <god> <hilkiah> <house> <hundred>

2CH-35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren,

and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave

unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand [small

cattle], and five hundred oxen. <also> <brethren> <chief>

2CH-35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in

their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the

king's commandment. <commandment> <courses> <levites> <place>

2CH-35:11 And they killed the passover, and the priests

sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed

[them]. <blood> <flayed> <hands> <killed> <levites> <passover>

2CH-35:12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might

give according to the divisions of the families of the people,

to offer unto the LORD, as [it is] written in the book of Moses.

And so [did they] with the oxen. <book> <burnt> <divisions>

2CH-35:13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to

the ordinance:but the [other] holy [offerings] sod they in pots,

and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among

all the people. <all> <among> <caldrons> <divided> <fire> <holy>

2CH-35:14 And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for

the priests:because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied]

in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night;

therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the

priests the sons of Aaron. <afterward> <because> <burnt>

<until>

2CH-35:15 And the singers the sons of Asaph [were] in their

place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and

Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters [waited] at

every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their

brethren the Levites prepared for them. <asaph> <brethren>

2CH-35:16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same

day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the

altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

2CH-35:17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the

passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven

days. <bread> <children> <days> <feast> <israel> <kept>

2CH-35:18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel

from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings

of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests,

and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and

the inhabitants of Jerusalem. <all> <days> <did> <inhabitants>

2CH-35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this

passover kept. <eighteenth> <josiah> <kept> <passover> <reign>

2CH-35:20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple,

Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by

Euphrates:and Josiah went out against him. <after> <against>

<when>

2CH-35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to

do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this

day, but against the house wherewith I have war:for God

commanded me to make haste:forbear thee from [meddling with] God,

who [is] with me, that he destroy thee not. <against>

2CH-35:22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him,

but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and

hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and

came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. <came> <disguised>

2CH-35:23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said

to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. <archers>

2CH-35:24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot,

and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought

him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in [one of] the

sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned

for Josiah. <all> <brought> <buried> <chariot> <died> <fathers>

2CH-35:25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah:and all the singing

men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations

to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel:and, behold,

they [are] written in the lamentations. <all> <behold> <day>

2CH-35:26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness,

according to [that which was] written in the law of the LORD,

2CH-35:27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they [are]

written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. <behold>

2CH-36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of

Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

2CH-36:2 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began

to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. <began>

2CH-36:3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and

condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent

of gold. <condemned> <down> <egypt> <gold> <him> <hundred>

2CH-36:4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king

over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And

Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

2CH-36:5 Jehoiakim [was] twenty and five years old when he began

to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:and he did

[that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD his God. <began>

<years>

2CH-36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and

bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. <against>

2CH-36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house

of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

2CH-36:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his

abominations which he did, and that which was found in him,

behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel

and Judah:and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. <behold>

2CH-36:9 Jehoiachin [was] eight years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem:and he

did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD. <began>

2CH-36:10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar

sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the

house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah

and Jerusalem. <babylon> <brother> <brought> <expired> <goodly>

2CH-36:11 Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began

to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. <began>

2CH-36:12 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the

prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD. <before> <did>

2CH-36:13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who

had made him swear by God:but he stiffened his neck, and

hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

2CH-36:14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people,

transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen;

and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in

Jerusalem. <after> <all> <chief> <had> <hallowed> <heathen>

2CH-36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his

messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had

compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:<because>

2CH-36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised

his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD

arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy. <against>

2CH-36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the

Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house

of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or

maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age:he gave [them] all

into his hand. <age> <all> <brought> <chaldees> <compassion>

2CH-36:18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and

small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the

treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he

brought to Babylon. <all> <babylon> <brought> <god> <great>

2CH-36:19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the

wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire,

and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. <all> <brake>

2CH-36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he

away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons

until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:<away> <babylon>

2CH-36:21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of

Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths:[for] as long

as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and

ten years. <desolate> <enjoyed> <fulfil> <had> <jeremiah> <kept>

2CH-36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that

the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah might be

accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of

Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom,

and [put it] also in writing, saying, <all> <also> <cyrus>
