2KI-15:6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he

did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the

kings of Judah? <all> <azariah> <book> <chronicles> <did>

2KI-15:7 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him

with his fathers in the city of David:and Jotham his son reigned

in his stead. <azariah> <buried> <city> <david> <fathers> <him>

2KI-15:8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah

did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria

six months. <azariah> <did> <eighth> <israel> <jeroboam> <judah>

2KI-15:9 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD, as his fathers had done:he departed not from the sins of

Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. <departed>

2KI-15:10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him,

and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in

his stead. <against> <before> <conspired> <him> <jabesh>

Israel. <behold> <book> <chronicles> <israel> <kings> <rest>

2KI-15:12 This [was] the word of the LORD which he spake unto

Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto

the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass. <came> <fourth>

2KI-15:13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine

and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a

full month in Samaria. <began> <full> <jabesh> <judah> <king>

2KI-15:14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and

came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria,

and slew him, and reigned in his stead. <came> <gadi> <him>

2KI-15:15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his

conspiracy which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book

of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. <behold> <book>

2KI-15:16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that [were]

therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah:because they opened

not [to him], therefore he smote [it; and] all the women therein

that were with child he ripped up. <all> <because> <child>

2KI-15:17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of

Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and

reigned] ten years in Samaria. <azariah> <began> <gadi> <israel>

2KI-15:18 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD:he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the

son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. <all> <days> <departed>

2KI-15:19 [And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land:

and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand

might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. <against>

<with>

2KI-15:20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, [even] of all

the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver,

to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned

back, and stayed not there in the land. <all> <assyria> <back>

2KI-15:21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he

son reigned in his stead. <fathers> <menahem> <pekahiah>

2KI-15:23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah

the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and

reigned] two years. <azariah> <began> <fiftieth> <israel>

2KI-15:24 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD:he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,

who made Israel to sin. <departed> <did> <evil> <israel>

2KI-15:25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his,

conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace

of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty

men of the Gileadites:and he killed him, and reigned in his room.

the kings of Israel. <all> <behold> <book> <chronicles> <did>

2KI-15:27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah

Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria,

2KI-15:28 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD:he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,

who made Israel to sin. <departed> <did> <evil> <israel>

2KI-15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came

Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and

Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead,

and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive

to Assyria. <all> <assyria> <came> <captive> <carried> <days>

2KI-15:30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against

Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and

reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of

Uzziah. <against> <conspiracy> <elah> <him> <hoshea> <jotham>

2KI-15:32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king

of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

2KI-15:33 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to

reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his

mother's name [was] Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok. <began>

2KI-15:34 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD:he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

2KI-15:35 Howbeit the high places were not removed:the people

sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built

the higher gate of the house of the LORD. <built> <burned>

2KI-15:36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he

did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the

kings of Judah? <all> <book> <chronicles> <did> <jotham> <kings>

2KI-15:37 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah

Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

2KI-15:38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with

his fathers in the city of David his father:and Ahaz his son

reigned in his stead. <ahaz> <buried> <city> <david> <father>

2KI-16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah

Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. <ahaz>

2KI-16:2 Twenty years old [was] Ahaz when he began to reign, and

reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not [that which was]

right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

2KI-16:3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea,

and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the

abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before

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

2KI-16:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places,

and on the hills, and under every green tree. <burnt> <every>

2KI-16:5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king

of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war:and they besieged Ahaz,

but could not overcome [him]. <ahaz> <besieged> <came> <could>

2KI-16:6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to

Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath:and the Syrians came to

Elath, and dwelt there unto this day. <came> <day> <drave>

2KI-16:7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of

Assyria, saying, I [am] thy servant and thy son:come up, and

save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the

hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me. <against>

2KI-16:8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the

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

sent [it for] a present to the king of Assyria. <ahaz> <assyria>

2KI-16:9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him:for the king

of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried

[the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. <against>

2KI-16:10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser

king of Assyria, and saw an altar that [was] at Damascus:and

king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar,

and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

2KI-16:11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all

that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus:so Urijah the priest made

[it] against king Ahaz came from Damascus. <against> <ahaz>

2KI-16:12 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw

the altar:and the king approached to the altar, and offered

thereon. <altar> <approached> <come> <damascus> <king> <offered>

2KI-16:13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering,

and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his

peace offerings, upon the altar. <altar> <blood> <burnt> <drink>

2KI-16:14 And he brought also the brazen altar, which [was]

before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between

the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north

side of the altar. <also> <altar> <before> <between> <brazen>

<which>

2KI-16:15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying,

Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the

evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his

meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the

land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and

sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all

the blood of the sacrifice:and the brazen altar shall be for me

to inquire [by]. <ahaz> <all> <altar> <blood> <brazen> <burn>

2KI-16:16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king

Ahaz commanded. <ahaz> <all> <commanded> <did> <king> <priest>

2KI-16:17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and

removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off

the brazen oxen that [were] under it, and put it upon a pavement

of stones. <ahaz> <bases> <borders> <brazen> <cut> <down> <king>

2KI-16:18 And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in

the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the

house of the LORD for the king of Assyria. <assyria> <built>

2KI-16:19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, [are]

they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of

Judah? <ahaz> <book> <chronicles> <did> <kings> <now> <rest>

2KI-16:20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with

his fathers in the city of David:and Hezekiah his son reigned in

his stead. <ahaz> <buried> <city> <david> <fathers> <hezekiah>

2KI-17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea

the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

2KI-17:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

<which>

2KI-17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and

Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. <against>

2KI-17:4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea:for

he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no

present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year:

therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in

prison. <assyria> <bound> <brought> <conspiracy> <done> <egypt>

2KI-17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the

land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. <all>

2KI-17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took

Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them

in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities

of the Medes. <assyria> <away> <carried> <cities> <gozan>

2KI-17:7 For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned

against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the

land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and

had feared other gods, <against> <brought> <children> <egypt>

2KI-17:8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the

LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the

kings of Israel, which they had made. <before> <cast> <children>

2KI-17:9 And the children of Israel did secretly [those] things

that [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built

them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the

watchmen to the fenced city. <against> <all> <built> <children>

2KI-17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high

hill, and under every green tree:<every> <green> <groves> <high>

2KI-17:11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places,

as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and

wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:<all> <away>

2KI-17:12 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto

them, Ye shall not do this thing. <do> <had> <idols> <lord>

2KI-17:13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against

Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn

ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my

statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your

fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

2KI-17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened

their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not

believe in the LORD their God. <believe> <did> <fathers> <god>

<would>

2KI-17:15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that

he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he

testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became

vain, and went after the heathen that [were] round about them,

[concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should

not do like them. <after> <against> <became> <charged>

2KI-17:16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their

God, and made them molten images, [even] two calves, and made a

grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

2KI-17:17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass

through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold

themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him

to anger. <anger> <caused> <daughters> <divination> <do>

2KI-17:18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and

removed them out of his sight:there was none left but the tribe

of Judah only. <angry> <israel> <judah> <left> <lord> <none>

<with>

2KI-17:19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their

God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

2KI-17:20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and

afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers,

until he had cast them out of his sight. <afflicted> <all>

2KI-17:21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they

made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king:and Jeroboam drave Israel

from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. <david>

2KI-17:22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of

Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; <all>

<which>

2KI-17:23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he

had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried

away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. <all>

<until>

2KI-17:24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon,

and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from

Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead

of the children of Israel:and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt

in the cities thereof. <assyria> <ava> <babylon> <brought>

2KI-17:25 And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling

there, [that] they feared not the LORD:therefore the LORD sent

lions among them, which slew [some] of them. <among> <beginning>

2KI-17:26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying,

The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of

Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land:therefore he

hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because

they know not the manner of the God of the land. <among>

<which>

2KI-17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry

thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let

them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of

the God of the land. <assyria> <brought> <carry> <commanded>

<whom>

2KI-17:28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away

from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they

should fear the LORD. <away> <bethel> <came> <carried> <dwelt>

2KI-17:29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put

[them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had

made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. <cities>

2KI-17:30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men

of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

2KI-17:31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the

Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and

Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. <anammelech> <avites>

2KI-17:32 So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of

the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed

for them in the houses of the high places. <feared> <high>

2KI-17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after

the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

2KI-17:34 Unto this day they do after the former manners:they

fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or

after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which

the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

2KI-17:35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged

them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves

to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:<bow> <charged>

2KI-17:36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of

Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye

fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

2KI-17:37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and

the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do

for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. <commandment>

2KI-17:38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall

not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. <covenant> <fear>

2KI-17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall

deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. <all> <deliver>

2KI-17:40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their

former manner. <after> <did> <former> <hearken> <howbeit>

2KI-17:41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their

graven images, both their children, and their children's

children:as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. <both>

2KI-18:1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of

Elah king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of

Judah began to reign. <ahaz> <began> <came> <elah> <hezekiah>

2KI-18:2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign;

and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's

name also [was] Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. <also> <began>

2KI-18:3 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, according to all that David his father did. <all> <david>

2KI-18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and

cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that

Moses had made:for unto those days the children of Israel did

burn incense to it:and he called it Nehushtan. <brake> <brazen>

2KI-18:5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him

was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [any] that

were before him. <after> <all> <among> <before> <god> <him>

2KI-18:6 For he clave to the LORD, [and] departed not from

following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD

commanded Moses. <clave> <commanded> <commandments> <departed>

2KI-18:7 And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered

whithersoever he went forth:and he rebelled against the king of

Assyria, and served him not. <against> <assyria> <forth> <him>

2KI-18:8 He smote the Philistines, [even] unto Gaza, and the

borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced

city. <borders> <city> <fenced> <gaza> <philistines> <smote>

2KI-18:9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah,

which [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of

Israel, [that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against

Samaria, and besieged it. <against> <assyria> <besieged> <came>

2KI-18:10 And at the end of three years they took it:[even] in

the sixth year of Hezekiah, that [is] the ninth year of Hoshea

king of Israel, Samaria was taken. <end> <hezekiah> <hoshea>

2KI-18:11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto

Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of

Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:<assyria> <away> <carry>

<river>

2KI-18:12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their

God, but transgressed his covenant, [and] all that Moses the

servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear [them], nor do

[them]. <all> <because> <commanded> <covenant> <do> <god> <hear>

<would>

2KI-18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did

Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced

cities of Judah, and took them. <against> <all> <assyria>

2KI-18:14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria

to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me:that which

thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria

appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of

silver and thirty talents of gold. <appointed> <assyria> <bear>

2KI-18:15 And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found

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

house. <all> <found> <gave> <hezekiah> <house> <lord> <silver>

2KI-18:16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the

doors of the temple of the LORD, and [from] the pillars which

Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of

Assyria. <assyria> <cut> <did> <doors> <gave> <gold> <had>

2KI-18:17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and

Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host

against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And

when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of

the upper pool, which [is] in the highway of the fuller's field.

2KI-18:18 And when they had called to the king, there came out

to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which [was] over the

household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the

recorder. <asaph> <called> <came> <eliakim> <had> <hilkiah>

2KI-18:19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah,

Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence

[is] this wherein thou trustest? <assyria> <confidence> <great>

2KI-18:20 Thou sayest, (but [they are but] vain words), [I have]

counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust,

that thou rebellest against me? <against> <are> <counsel> <dost>

2KI-18:21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this

bruised reed, [even] upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will

go into his hand, and pierce it:so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt

unto all that trust on him. <all> <behold> <bruised> <egypt>

2KI-18:22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God:

[is] not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah

hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall

worship before this altar in Jerusalem? <altar> <altars> <away>

2KI-18:23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord

the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses,

if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. <assyria>

<will>

2KI-18:24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain

of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt

for chariots and for horsemen? <away> <captain> <chariots>

2KI-18:25 Am I now come up without the LORD against this place

to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and

destroy it. <against> <come> <destroy> <go> <land> <lord> <now>

2KI-18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and

Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the

Syrian language; for we understand [it]:and talk not with us in

the Jews' language in the ears of the people that [are] on the

wall. <ears> <eliakim> <hilkiah> <joah> <language> <on> <people>

2KI-18:27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me

to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not

[sent me] to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat

their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? <drink>

2KI-18:28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in

the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the

great king, the king of Assyria:<cried> <great> <hear> <king>

2KI-18:29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you:for

he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:<deceive>

2KI-18:30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD,

saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not

be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. <assyria>

<will>

2KI-18:31 Hearken not to Hezekiah:for thus saith the king of
