and had taken captive<S>7617</S> the women<S>802</S> and all who were therein<S>6996</S>, both small and great<S>1419</S>. They didn<S>4191</S>'t kill any<S>376</S>, but carried them off<S>5090</S>, and went<S>3212</S> their way<S>1870</S>.

When David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>8313</S>, it was burned with fire<S>784</S>; and their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>, and their daughters<S>1323</S>, were taken captive<S>7617</S>.

Then David<S>1732</S> and the people<S>5971</S> who were with him lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S> and wept<S>1058</S>, until they had no more power<S>3581</S> to weep<S>1058</S>.

David<S>1732</S>'s two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S> were taken captive<S>7617</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> the Carmelite<S>3761</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> spoke<S>559</S> of stoning<S>5619</S> him<S>5315</S>, because the soul of all the people<S>5971</S> was grieved<S>4843</S>, every man<S>376</S> for his sons<S>1121</S> and for his daughters<S>1323</S>: but David<S>1732</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself in Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S>, "Please bring me here<S>5066</S> the ephod<S>646</S>." Abiathar<S>54</S> brought<S>5066</S> the ephod<S>646</S> to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "If I pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> this troop<S>1416</S>, shall I overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>559</S>?" He answered him<S>7291</S>, "Pursue; for you shall surely<S>5381</S> overtake<S>5381</S> them<S>5337</S>, and shall without fail recover all<S>5337</S>."

So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S>, he and the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> who were with him<S>935</S>, and came to the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>, where those who were left behind<S>3498</S> stayed<S>5975</S>.


text:
But David<S>1732</S> pursued<S>7291</S>, he and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; for two hundred<S>3967</S> stayed behind<S>5975</S>, who were so faint<S>6296</S> that they couldn<S>5674</S>'t go over the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>.


text:
They found<S>4672</S> an Egyptian<S>376</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and brought<S>3947</S> him to David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and he ate<S>398</S>; and they gave him water<S>4325</S> to drink<S>8248</S>.


text:
They gave<S>5414</S> him a piece<S>6400</S> of a cake<S>1690</S> of figs<S>8147</S>, and two clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>. when he had eaten<S>398</S>, his spirit<S>7307</S> came again<S>7725</S> to him<S>398</S>; for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drunk<S>8354</S> any water<S>4325</S>, three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> and three<S>7969</S> nights<S>3915</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> asked<S>559</S> him<S>559</S>, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man<S>5288</S> of Egypt<S>4713</S>, servant<S>5650</S> to an Amalekite<S>376</S>; and my master<S>113</S> left<S>5800</S> me<S>7969</S>, because three days<S>3117</S> ago I fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
We made a raid<S>6584</S> on the South<S>5045</S> of the Cherethites<S>3774</S>, and on that which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and on the South<S>5045</S> of Caleb<S>3612</S>; and we burned<S>8313</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S> with fire<S>784</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3381</S>, "Will you bring me down to this troop<S>1416</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "Swear<S>7650</S> to me by God<S>430</S> that you will neither kill<S>4191</S> me<S>518</S>, nor deliver<S>5462</S> me up into the hands<S>3027</S> of my master<S>113</S>, and I will bring you down<S>3381</S> to this troop<S>1416</S>."


text:
When he had brought him down<S>3381</S>, behold<S>5203</S>, they were spread around over all<S>6440</S> the ground<S>776</S>, eating<S>398</S>, drinking<S>8354</S>, and dancing<S>2287</S>, because of all the great<S>1419</S> spoil<S>7998</S> that they had taken<S>3947</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and out of the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> struck<S>5221</S> them from the twilight<S>5399</S> even to the evening<S>6153</S> of the next day<S>4283</S>. Not a man<S>376</S> of them escaped<S>4422</S> from there<S>702</S>, except four hundred<S>3967</S> young<S>5288</S> men<S>376</S>, who rode<S>7392</S> on camels<S>1581</S> and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> recovered<S>5337</S> all that the Amalekites<S>6002</S> had taken<S>3947</S>; and David<S>1732</S> rescued<S>5337</S> his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
There was nothing lacking<S>5737</S> to them<S>4480</S>, neither small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, neither sons<S>1121</S> nor daughters<S>1323</S>, neither spoil<S>7998</S>, nor anything that they had taken<S>3947</S> to them<S>1732</S>. David brought back all<S>3947</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> all the flocks<S>6629</S> and the herds<S>1241</S>, which they drove<S>5090</S> before<S>6440</S> those<S>1931</S> other livestock<S>4735</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "This is David<S>1732</S>'s spoil<S>7998</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to the two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>582</S>, who were so faint<S>6296</S> that they could not follow<S>3212</S> David<S>1732</S>, whom also they had made to stay<S>3427</S> at the brook<S>5158</S> Besor<S>1308</S>; and they went forth<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, and to meet<S>7125</S> the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>1732</S>. When David came near<S>5066</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, he greeted them<S>7592</S>.


text:
Then all the wicked<S>7451</S> men<S>376</S> and base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>376</S>, of those<S>582</S> who went<S>1980</S> with David<S>1732</S>, answered<S>559</S> and said<S>559</S>, "Because they didn<S>5414</S>'t go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil<S>7998</S> that we have recovered<S>5337</S>, except to every man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> and his children<S>1121</S>, that he may lead them away<S>5090</S>, and depart<S>3212</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "You shall not do so<S>6213</S>, my brothers<S>251</S>, with that which Yahweh<S>3068</S> has given<S>5414</S> to us<S>8104</S>, who has preserved us<S>5414</S>, and delivered the troop<S>1416</S> that came<S>935</S> against us into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Who will listen<S>8085</S> to you in this matter<S>1697</S>? For as his share<S>2506</S> is who goes down<S>3381</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>, so shall his share<S>2506</S> be who tarries<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>: they shall share<S>2505</S> alike<S>3162</S>."


text:
It was so from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> it a statute<S>2706</S> and an ordinance<S>4941</S> for Israel<S>3478</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
When David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, even to his friends<S>7453</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>1293</S>, a present for you of the spoil<S>7998</S> of the enemies<S>341</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
He sent it to those<S>834</S> who were in Bethel<S>1008</S>, and to those who were in Ramoth<S>7418</S> of the South<S>5045</S>, and to those who were in Jattir<S>3492</S>,


text:
and to those who were in Aroer<S>6177</S>, and to those who were in Siphmoth<S>8224</S>, and to those who were in Eshtemoa<S>851</S>,


text:
and to those who were in Racal<S>7403</S>, and to those who were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and to those who were in the cities<S>5892</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>,


text:
and to those who were in Hormah<S>2767</S>, and to those who were in Borashan<S>3565</S>, and to those who were in Athach<S>6269</S>,


text:
and to those who were in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and to all the places<S>4725</S> where David<S>1732</S> himself and his men<S>582</S> used to stay<S>1980</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> from before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> slain<S>2491</S> on Mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> followed hard<S>1692</S> on Saul<S>7586</S> and on his sons<S>1121</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> killed<S>5221</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and Abinadab<S>41</S>, and Malchishua<S>4444</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
The battle<S>4421</S> went hard<S>3513</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>, and the archers<S>582</S> overtook<S>4672</S> him<S>3966</S>; and he was greatly distressed<S>2342</S> by reason of the archers<S>582</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, "Draw<S>8025</S> your sword<S>2719</S>, and thrust me through<S>1856</S> with it<S>6189</S>, lest these uncircumcised come<S>935</S> and thrust me through<S>1856</S>, and abuse<S>5953</S> me<S>5375</S>!" But his armor bearer would<S>14</S> not<S>3966</S>; for he was terrified<S>3372</S>. Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> his sword<S>2719</S>, and fell on it<S>5307</S>.


text:
When his armor bearer<S>5375</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he likewise fell<S>5307</S> on his sword<S>2719</S>, and died with him<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> died<S>4191</S>, and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, and all his men<S>582</S>, that same day<S>3117</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
When the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who were on the other side<S>5676</S> of the valley<S>6010</S>, and those who were beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, saw<S>7200</S> that the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and that Saul<S>7586</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, they forsook<S>5800</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> and lived in them<S>3427</S>.


text:
It happened on the next day<S>4283</S>, when the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>935</S> to strip<S>6584</S> the slain<S>2491</S>, that they found<S>4672</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> fallen<S>5307</S> on Mount<S>2022</S> Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
They cut off<S>3772</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and stripped off<S>3772</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> all around<S>5439</S>, to carry the news<S>1319</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of their idols<S>6091</S>, and to the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
They put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>; and they fastened<S>8628</S> his body<S>1472</S> to the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth Shan<S>1052</S>.


text:
When the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</S> heard<S>8085</S> concerning him that which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had done<S>6213</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>,


text:
all the valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> all night<S>3915</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the body<S>1472</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> and the bodies<S>1472</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> from the wall<S>2346</S> of Beth Shan<S>1052</S>; and they came<S>935</S> to Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and burnt them there<S>8313</S>.


text:
They took<S>3947</S> their bones<S>6106</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> them under the tamarisk tree<S>815</S> in Jabesh<S>3003</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
The word<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> came to all Israel<S>3478</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> beside Ebenezer<S>72</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> put themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and when they joined<S>5203</S> battle<S>4421</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> was struck<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and they killed<S>5221</S> of the army<S>4634</S> in the field<S>7704</S> about four<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
When the people<S>5971</S> had come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "Why has Yahweh<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> us today<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? Let us get<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> out of Shiloh<S>7887</S> to us<S>935</S>, that it may come among<S>7130</S> us<S>3467</S>, and save us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>."


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>; and they brought<S>5375</S> from there the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S>, who sits<S>3427</S> above the cherubim<S>3742</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were there with the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
When the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> shouted<S>7321</S> with a great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S>, so that the earth<S>776</S> rang again<S>1949</S>.


text:
When the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the shout<S>8643</S>, they said<S>559</S>, "What does the noise<S>6963</S> of this great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Hebrews<S>5680</S> mean<S>3045</S>?" They understood that the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> had come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> were afraid<S>3372</S>, for they said<S>559</S>, "God<S>430</S> has come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>." They said<S>559</S>, "Woe<S>188</S> to us<S>865</S>! For there has not been such a thing before.


text:
Woe<S>188</S> to us<S>5337</S>! Who shall deliver us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of these mighty<S>117</S> gods<S>430</S>? These are the gods<S>430</S> that struck<S>5221</S> the Egyptians<S>4714</S> with all kinds of plagues<S>4347</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Be strong<S>2388</S>, and behave<S>1961</S> like men<S>582</S>, O you Philistines<S>6430</S>, that you not be servants<S>5647</S> to the Hebrews<S>5680</S>, as they have been<S>5647</S> to you<S>1961</S>. Strengthen yourselves like men<S>582</S>, and fight<S>3898</S>!"


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> was struck<S>5062</S>, and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>: and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; for there fell<S>5307</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>.


text:
The ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
There ran<S>7323</S> a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, with his clothes<S>4055</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and with earth<S>127</S> on his head<S>7218</S>.

When he came<S>935</S>, behold<S>5941</S>, Eli was sitting<S>3427</S> on his seat<S>3678</S> by the road<S>3027</S> watching<S>6822</S>; for his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2730</S> for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. When the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and told<S>5046</S> it<S>5892</S>, all the city cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
When Eli<S>5941</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the crying<S>6818</S>, he said<S>559</S>, "What does the noise<S>6963</S> of this tumult<S>6963</S> mean<S>376</S>?" The man hurried<S>4116</S>, and came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was ninety<S>8673</S> - eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were set<S>6965</S>, so that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>.


text:
The man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, "I am he who came<S>935</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and I fled<S>5127</S> today<S>3117</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "How did the matter<S>1697</S> go<S>1121</S>, my son?"


text:
He<S>1319</S> who brought the news answered<S>6030</S>, "Israel<S>3478</S> has fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and there has been also a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S>. Your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> also<S>2652</S>, Hophni and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, are dead<S>4191</S>, and the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> has been captured<S>3947</S>."


text:
It happened<S>2142</S>, when he made mention of the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, that Eli fell<S>5307</S> from off his seat<S>3678</S> backward<S>322</S> by<S>1157</S> the side<S>3027</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>; and his neck<S>4665</S> broke<S>7665</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>; for he was an old<S>2204</S> man<S>376</S>, and heavy<S>3513</S>. He had judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
His daughter-in<S>3618</S>-law, Phinehas<S>6372</S>' wife<S>802</S>, was with child<S>2030</S>, near to be delivered<S>3205</S>. When she heard<S>8085</S> the news<S>8052</S> that<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and that her father-in<S>2524</S>-law and her husband<S>376</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, she bowed<S>3766</S> herself and gave birth<S>3205</S>; for her pains<S>6735</S> came on her<S>2015</S>.


text:
About the time<S>6256</S> of her death<S>4191</S> the women who stood<S>5324</S> by her said<S>1696</S> to her<S>3372</S>, "Don't be afraid; for you have given birth<S>3205</S> to a son<S>1121</S>." But she didn<S>6030</S>'t answer, neither did she regard it<S>7896</S>.


text:
She named<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S> Ichabod<S>350</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The glory<S>3519</S> has departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>;" because<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and because of her father-in<S>2524</S>-law and her husband<S>376</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S>, "The glory<S>3519</S> has departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>; for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>."


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and they brought<S>935</S> it from Ebenezer<S>72</S> to Ashdod<S>795</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>3322</S> it by<S>681</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>.


text:
When they of Ashdod<S>796</S> arose early<S>7925</S> on the next day<S>4283</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. They took<S>3947</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>7725</S> him in his place<S>4725</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
When they arose early<S>7925</S> on the next day<S>4283</S> morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>1712</S>, Dagon was fallen<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and the head<S>7218</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> and both<S>8147</S> the palms<S>3709</S> of his hands<S>3027</S> were cut off<S>3772</S> on the threshold<S>4670</S>. Only Dagon<S>1712</S>'s torso was intact<S>7604</S>.


text:
Therefore neither the priests<S>3548</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, nor any who come<S>935</S> into Dagon<S>1712</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, tread<S>1869</S> on the threshold<S>4670</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> in Ashdod<S>795</S>, to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was heavy<S>3513</S> on them of Ashdod<S>796</S>, and he destroyed<S>8074</S> them<S>5221</S>, and struck them with tumors<S>2914</S>, even Ashdod<S>795</S> and its borders<S>1366</S>.


text:
When the men<S>582</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S> saw<S>7200</S> that it was so<S>559</S>, they said, "The ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall not stay<S>3427</S> with us<S>3027</S>; for his hand is severe<S>7185</S> on us<S>1712</S>, and on Dagon our god<S>430</S>."


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> to them<S>559</S>, and said, "What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?" They answered<S>559</S>, "Let the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> be carried over<S>5437</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>." They carried<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> there<S>5437</S>.


text:
It was so<S>310</S>, that after they had carried it about<S>5437</S>, the hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was against the city<S>5892</S> with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> confusion<S>4103</S>: and he struck<S>5221</S> the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>; and tumors<S>2914</S> broke out on them<S>8368</S>.


text:
So they sent<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>. It happened<S>727</S>, as the ark of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>, that the Ekronites<S>6139</S> cried out<S>2199</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "They have brought about<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to us<S>4191</S>, to kill us and our people<S>5971</S>."


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered together<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and they said<S>559</S>, "Send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and let it go again<S>7725</S> to its own place<S>4725</S>, that it not kill<S>4191</S> us and our people<S>5971</S>." For there was a deadly<S>4194</S> confusion<S>4103</S> throughout all the city<S>5892</S>; the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was very<S>3966</S> heavy there<S>3513</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> who didn<S>4191</S>'t die were struck<S>5221</S> with the tumors<S>2914</S>; and the cry<S>7775</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went up<S>5927</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
The ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> called<S>7121</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and the diviners<S>7080</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>? Show<S>3045</S> us with which we shall send<S>7971</S> it to its place<S>4725</S>."


text:
They said<S>559</S>, "If you send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, don<S>7971</S>'t send it empty<S>7387</S>; but by all means<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> him a trespass offering<S>817</S>: then you shall be healed<S>7495</S>, and it shall be known<S>3045</S> to you why his hand<S>3027</S> is not removed from you<S>5493</S>."


text:
Then they said<S>559</S>, "What shall be the trespass offering<S>817</S> which we shall return<S>7725</S> to him<S>559</S>?" They said, "Five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> tumors<S>2914</S>, and five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, for the number<S>4557</S> of the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; for one<S>259</S> plague<S>4046</S> was on you all<S>5633</S>, and on your lords.


text:
Therefore you shall make<S>6213</S> images<S>6754</S> of your tumors<S>2914</S>, and images<S>6754</S> of your mice<S>5909</S> that mar<S>7843</S> the land<S>776</S>; and you shall give<S>5414</S> glory<S>3519</S> to the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: perhaps he will lighten<S>7043</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from off you<S>430</S>, and from off your gods, and from off your land<S>776</S>.


text:
Why then do you harden<S>3513</S> your hearts<S>3824</S>, as the Egyptians<S>4714</S> and Pharaoh<S>6547</S> hardened<S>3513</S> their hearts<S>3820</S>? When he had worked wonderfully<S>5953</S> among them<S>7971</S>, didn't they let the people go, and they departed<S>3212</S>?


text:
"Now therefore take<S>3947</S> and prepare<S>6213</S> yourselves a<S>259</S> new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>, and two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, on which there has come<S>5927</S> no yoke<S>5923</S>; and tie<S>631</S> the cows<S>6510</S> to the cart<S>5699</S>, and bring<S>7725</S> their calves<S>1121</S> home<S>1004</S> from them<S>310</S>;


text:
and take<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it on the cart<S>5699</S>; and put<S>7760</S> the jewels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which you return<S>7725</S> him for a trespass offering<S>817</S>, in a coffer<S>712</S> by its side<S>6654</S>; and send it away<S>7971</S>, that it may go<S>1980</S>.


text:
Behold<S>7200</S>; if it goes up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of its own border<S>1366</S> to Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>, then he has done<S>6213</S> us this great<S>1419</S> evil<S>7451</S>: but if not<S>3045</S>, then we shall know that it is not his hand<S>3027</S> that struck<S>5060</S> us<S>4745</S>; it was a chance that happened to us<S>1961</S>."


text:
The men<S>582</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and took<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, and tied<S>631</S> them to the cart<S>5699</S>, and shut up<S>3607</S> their calves<S>1121</S> at home<S>1004</S>;


text:
and they put<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> on the cart<S>5699</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> with the mice<S>5909</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and the images<S>6754</S> of their tumors<S>2914</S>.


text:
The cows<S>6510</S> took the straight<S>3474</S> way<S>1870</S> by the way<S>1870</S> to Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>; they went along<S>1980</S> the highway<S>4546</S>, lowing<S>1600</S> as they went<S>1980</S>, and didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>; and the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> them to the border<S>1366</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>.


text:
They of Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S> were reaping<S>7114</S> their wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>; and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and rejoiced<S>8055</S> to see it<S>7200</S>.


text:
The cart<S>5699</S> came<S>935</S> into the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1030</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> there<S>1419</S>, where there was a great stone<S>68</S>: and they split<S>1234</S> the wood<S>6086</S> of the cart<S>5699</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> up the cows<S>6510</S> for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The Levites<S>3881</S> took down<S>3381</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the coffer<S>712</S> that was with it<S>3627</S>, in which the jewels of gold<S>2091</S> were<S>7760</S>, and put them on the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrificed<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> the same day<S>3117</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
When the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>7725</S>, they returned to Ekron<S>6138</S> the same day<S>3117</S>.


text:
These are the golden<S>2091</S> tumors<S>2914</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> returned<S>7725</S> for a trespass offering<S>817</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>: for Ashdod<S>795</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gaza<S>5804</S> one<S>259</S>, for Ashkelon<S>831</S> one<S>259</S>, for Gath<S>1661</S> one<S>259</S>, for Ekron<S>6138</S> one<S>259</S>;


text:
and the golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of all the cities<S>5892</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> belonging to the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S>, both of fortified<S>4013</S> cities<S>5892</S> and of country<S>6521</S> villages<S>3724</S>, even to the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>59</S>, whereon they set down<S>3240</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. That stone remains to this day<S>3117</S> in the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1030</S>.


text:
He struck<S>5221</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>, because they had looked<S>7200</S> into the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he struck<S>5221</S> of the people<S>5971</S> fifty<S>2572</S> thousand<S>505</S> seventy<S>7657</S> men<S>582</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> mourned<S>56</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> had struck<S>5221</S> the people<S>582</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S> said<S>559</S>, "Who is able<S>3201</S> to stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, this holy<S>6918</S> God<S>430</S>? To whom shall he go up from us<S>5927</S>?"


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Kiriath Jearim<S>7157</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The Philistines<S>6430</S> have brought back<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; come down<S>3381</S>, and bring it up to yourselves<S>5927</S>."


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Kiriath Jearim<S>7157</S> came<S>935</S>, and fetched up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S> in the hill<S>1389</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> Eleazar<S>499</S> his son<S>1121</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3117</S>, from the day that the ark<S>727</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in Kiriath Jearim<S>7157</S>, that the time<S>3117</S> was long<S>7235</S>; for it was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lamented<S>5091</S> after<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

Samuel<S>8050</S> spoke<S>559</S> to all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "If you do return<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>, then put away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S> from among<S>8432</S> you<S>3559</S>, and direct your hearts<S>3824</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him only<S>5337</S>; and he will deliver you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>."


text:
Then the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> removed<S>5493</S> the Baals<S>1168</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Yahweh only<S>3068</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Gather<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> to Mizpah<S>4708</S>, and I will pray<S>6419</S> for you to Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
They gathered together<S>6908</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>, and drew<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and poured it out<S>8210</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, and said<S>559</S> there<S>2398</S>, "We have sinned against Yahweh<S>3068</S>." Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> in Mizpah<S>4708</S>.


text:
When the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> at Mizpah<S>4708</S>, the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>. When the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3372</S>, they were afraid of<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Don<S>2790</S>'t cease to cry<S>2199</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> for us<S>3467</S>, that he will save us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> suckling<S>2461</S> lamb<S>2924</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> it for a whole<S>3632</S> burnt offering<S>5930</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and Samuel<S>8050</S> cried<S>2199</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> answered him<S>6030</S>.


text:
As Samuel<S>8050</S> was offering up<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>; but Yahweh<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> with a great<S>1419</S> thunder<S>6963</S> on that day<S>3117</S> on the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and confused<S>2000</S> them<S>5062</S>; and they were struck down before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Mizpah<S>4709</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> them<S>1033</S>, until they came under Beth Kar.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>, and set<S>7760</S> it between Mizpah<S>4709</S> and Shen<S>8129</S>, and called<S>7121</S> its name<S>8034</S> Ebenezer<S>72</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> helped us until now<S>5826</S>."


text:
So the Philistines<S>6430</S> were subdued<S>3665</S>, and they came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> within the border<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. The hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
The cities<S>5892</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> were restored<S>7725</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, from Ekron<S>6138</S> even to Gath<S>1661</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> recovered<S>5337</S> its border<S>1366</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. There was peace<S>7965</S> between Israel<S>3478</S> and the Amorites<S>567</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
He went<S>1980</S> from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S> in circuit<S>5437</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S> and Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Mizpah<S>4709</S>; and he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in all those places<S>4725</S>.


text:
His return<S>8666</S> was to Ramah<S>7414</S>, for there was his house<S>1004</S>; and there he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and he built<S>1129</S> there an altar<S>4196</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
It happened<S>8050</S>, when Samuel was old<S>2204</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> his sons<S>1121</S> judges<S>8199</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of his firstborn<S>1121</S> was Joel<S>3100</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his second<S>4932</S>, Abijah<S>29</S>: they were judges<S>8199</S> in Beersheba<S>884</S>.


text:
His sons<S>1121</S> didn<S>1980</S>'t walk in his ways<S>1870</S>, but turned aside<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> lucre<S>1215</S>, and took<S>3947</S> bribes<S>7810</S>, and perverted<S>5186</S> justice<S>4941</S>.


text:
Then all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>;


text:
and they said<S>559</S> to him<S>2204</S>, "Behold, you are old, and your sons<S>1121</S> don<S>1980</S>'t walk in your ways<S>1870</S>: now make<S>7760</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us like all the nations<S>1471</S>."


text:
But the thing<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, when they said<S>559</S>, "Give<S>5414</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us<S>8050</S>." Samuel prayed<S>6419</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Listen<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in all that they tell<S>559</S> you<S>3988</S>; for they have not rejected you<S>3988</S>, but they have rejected me<S>4427</S>, that I should not be king over them.


text:
According to all the works<S>4639</S> which they have done<S>6213</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought them up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> even to this day<S>3117</S>, in that they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>5647</S>, and served other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, so do they also to you<S>6213</S>.


text:
Now therefore listen<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>6963</S>: however<S>389</S> you shall protest<S>5749</S> solemnly<S>5749</S> to them<S>5046</S>, and shall show them the way<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> who shall reign over them<S>4427</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>559</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> to the people<S>5971</S> who asked<S>7592</S> of him a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "This will be the way<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> who shall reign<S>4427</S> over you<S>3947</S>: he will take your sons<S>1121</S>, and appoint<S>7760</S> them to him<S>4818</S>, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen<S>6571</S>; and they shall run<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> his chariots<S>4818</S>;


text:
and he will appoint<S>7760</S> them to him for captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> of fifties<S>2572</S>; and he will assign some to plow<S>2790</S> his ground<S>2758</S>, and to reap<S>7114</S> his harvest<S>7105</S>, and to make<S>6213</S> his instruments<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and the instruments<S>3627</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
He will take<S>3947</S> your daughters<S>1323</S> to be perfumers<S>7548</S>, and to be cooks<S>2879</S>, and to be bakers<S>644</S>.


text:
He will take<S>3947</S> your fields<S>7704</S>, and your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and your olive<S>2132</S> groves<S>2896</S>, even their best, and give<S>5414</S> them to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
He will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your seed<S>2233</S>, and of your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and give<S>5414</S> to his officers<S>5631</S>, and to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
He will take<S>3947</S> your male servants<S>5650</S>, and your female servants<S>5650</S>, and your best<S>2896</S> young men<S>970</S>, and your donkeys<S>2543</S>, and put<S>6213</S> them to his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
He will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your flocks<S>6629</S>: and you shall be his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
You shall cry out<S>2199</S> in that day<S>3117</S> because<S>6440</S> of your king<S>4428</S> whom you shall have chosen<S>977</S> you<S>3068</S>; and Yahweh will not answer<S>6030</S> you in that day<S>3117</S>."


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> refused<S>3985</S> to listen<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, "No<S>4428</S>; but we will have a king over us,


text:
that we also may be like all the nations<S>1471</S>, and that our king<S>4428</S> may judge<S>8199</S> us<S>3318</S>, and go out before<S>6440</S> us<S>3898</S>, and fight our battles<S>4421</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> heard<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and he rehearsed<S>1696</S> them in the ears<S>241</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Listen<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>6963</S>, and make<S>4427</S> them a king<S>4428</S>." Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Every man<S>582</S> go<S>3212</S> to his city<S>5892</S>."


text:
Now there was a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Kish<S>7027</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zeror<S>6872</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Becorath<S>1064</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Aphiah<S>647</S>, the son of a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
He had a son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Saul<S>7586</S>, an impressive<S>2896</S> young man<S>970</S>; and there was not among the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a better<S>2896</S> person<S>376</S> than he<S>7926</S>. From his shoulders and upward<S>4605</S> he was higher<S>1364</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
The donkeys<S>860</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s father<S>1</S>, were lost<S>6</S>. Kish<S>7027</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> his son<S>1121</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> now one<S>259</S> of the servants<S>5288</S> with you<S>6965</S>, and arise, go<S>3212</S> seek<S>1245</S> the donkeys<S>860</S>."


text:
He passed through<S>5674</S> the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of Shalishah<S>8031</S>, but they didn<S>4672</S>'t find them<S>5674</S>: then they passed through the land<S>776</S> of Shaalim<S>8171</S>, and there they weren<S>5674</S>'t there: and he passed through the land<S>776</S> of the Benjamites<S>1145</S>, but they didn<S>4672</S>'t find them.


text:
When they had come<S>935</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S> who was with him<S>3212</S>, "Come, and let us return<S>7725</S>, lest my father<S>1</S> stop<S>2308</S> caring about the donkeys<S>860</S>, and be anxious for us<S>1672</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>5892</S>, "See now, there is in this city a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and he is a man<S>376</S> who is held in honor<S>3513</S>. All that he says<S>1696</S> comes<S>935</S> surely to pass<S>935</S>. Now let us go<S>3212</S> there<S>5046</S>. Perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey<S>1870</S> whereon we go<S>1980</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, "But<S>3212</S>, behold, if we go, what shall we bring<S>935</S> the man<S>376</S>? For the bread<S>3899</S> is spent<S>235</S> in our vessels<S>3627</S>, and there is not a present<S>8670</S> to bring<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>. What do we have?"


text:
The servant<S>5288</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> again<S>3254</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "Behold<S>4672</S>, I have in my hand<S>3027</S> the fourth part<S>7253</S> of a shekel<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>. I will give<S>5414</S> that to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, to tell<S>5046</S> us our way<S>1870</S>."


text:
(In earlier times in Israel<S>3478</S>, when a man<S>376</S> went<S>3212</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of God<S>430</S>, thus he said<S>559</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to the seer<S>7200</S>;" for he who is now<S>3117</S> called<S>7121</S> a prophet<S>5030</S> was before<S>6440</S> called<S>7121</S> a Seer<S>7200</S>.)


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>1697</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, "Well<S>2896</S> said<S>559</S>. Come<S>3212</S>, let us go<S>3212</S>." So they went<S>3212</S> to the city<S>5892</S> where the man<S>376</S> of God was<S>430</S>.


text:
As they went up<S>5927</S> the ascent<S>5927</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, they found<S>4672</S> young maidens<S>5291</S> going out<S>3318</S> to draw<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3426</S>, "Is the seer here<S>7200</S>?"


text:
They answered<S>6030</S> them<S>6030</S>, and said, "He is<S>3426</S>. Behold<S>3426</S>, he is before<S>6440</S> you<S>4116</S>. Hurry now<S>935</S>, for he has come today<S>3117</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; for the people have a sacrifice<S>2077</S> today<S>3117</S> in the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
As soon as you have come<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, you shall immediately<S>3651</S> find<S>4672</S> him<S>5927</S>, before he goes up to the high place<S>1116</S> to eat<S>398</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> will not eat<S>398</S> until he come<S>935</S>, because he blesses<S>1288</S> the sacrifice<S>2077</S>. Afterwards<S>310</S> those who are invited<S>7121</S> eat<S>398</S>. Now therefore go up<S>5927</S>; for at this time<S>3117</S> you shall find him<S>4672</S>."


text:
They went up<S>5927</S> to<S>8432</S> the city<S>5892</S>. As they came<S>935</S> within the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came out<S>3318</S> toward<S>7125</S> them<S>5927</S>, to go up to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now Yahweh<S>3068</S> had revealed<S>1540</S> to<S>241</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> a<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S> I will send<S>7971</S> you a man<S>376</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and you shall anoint<S>4886</S> him to be prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and he shall save<S>3467</S> my people<S>5971</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for I have looked<S>7200</S> on my people<S>5971</S>, because their cry<S>6818</S> has come to me<S>935</S>."


text:
When Samuel<S>8050</S> saw<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>6030</S> to him<S>376</S>, "Behold, the man of whom I spoke<S>559</S> to you<S>6113</S>! this same shall have authority over my people<S>5971</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> in<S>8432</S> the gate<S>8179</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Please tell<S>5046</S> me where<S>335</S> the seer<S>7200</S>'s house is<S>1004</S>."

Samuel<S>8050</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "I am the seer<S>7200</S>. Go up<S>5927</S> before<S>6440</S> me to the high place<S>1116</S>, for you shall eat<S>398</S> with me today<S>3117</S>. In the morning<S>1242</S> I will let you go<S>7971</S>, and will tell<S>5046</S> you all that is in your heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
As for your donkeys<S>860</S> who were lost<S>6</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> ago<S>3117</S>, don<S>7760</S>'t set your mind<S>3820</S> on them<S>4672</S>; for they are found. For whom is all that is desirable<S>2532</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? Is it not for you<S>1</S>, and for all your father's house<S>1004</S>?"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Am I not a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, of the smallest<S>6996</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And my family<S>4940</S> the least<S>6810</S> of all the families<S>4940</S> of the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>? Why then do you speak<S>1696</S> to me like this<S>1697</S>?"


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and his servant<S>5288</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them into the guest room<S>3957</S>, and made them sit<S>5414</S> in the best<S>7218</S> place<S>4725</S> among those who were invited<S>7121</S>, who were about thirty<S>7970</S> persons<S>376</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the cook<S>2876</S>, "Bring<S>5414</S> the portion<S>4490</S> which I gave<S>5414</S> you<S>559</S>, of which I said to you<S>7760</S>, 'Set it aside.'"


text:
The cook<S>2876</S> took up<S>7311</S> the thigh<S>7785</S>, and that which was on it<S>7760</S>, and set it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>. Samuel said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>7604</S>, that which has been reserved! Set<S>7760</S> it before<S>6440</S> yourself and eat<S>398</S>; because for the appointed time<S>4150</S> has it been kept<S>8104</S> for you<S>559</S>, for I said, <S>7121</S> 'I have invited the people<S>5971</S>.'" So Saul<S>7586</S> ate<S>398</S> with Samuel<S>8050</S> that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
When they had come down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, he talked<S>1696</S> with Saul<S>7586</S> on the housetop<S>1406</S>.


text:
They arose early<S>7925</S>: and it happened about the spring<S>5927</S> of the day<S>7837</S>, that Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> on the housetop<S>1406</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Get up<S>6965</S>, that I may send you away<S>7971</S>." Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> both<S>8147</S> of them<S>8050</S>, he and Samuel, abroad<S>2351</S>.


text:
As they were going down<S>3381</S> at the end<S>7097</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Tell<S>559</S> the servant<S>5288</S> pass on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>5674</S>" (and he passed on), "but stand<S>5975</S> still first<S>3117</S>, that I may cause you to hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>."

Solomon<S>8010</S> spoke<S>559</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>, to the captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and of hundreds<S>3967</S>, and to the judges<S>8199</S>, and to every prince<S>7218</S> in all Israel<S>3478</S>, the heads<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' households.

So Solomon<S>8010</S>, and all the assembly<S>6951</S> with him<S>3212</S>, went to the high place<S>1116</S> that was at Gibeon<S>1391</S>; for there was the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S> of God<S>430</S>, which Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> had made<S>6213</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.

Moreover the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S>, that Bezalel<S>1212</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Uri<S>221</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hur<S>2354</S>, had made<S>6213</S>, was there<S>7760</S> before<S>6440</S> the tabernacle<S>4908</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and Solomon<S>8010</S> and the assembly<S>6951</S> were seeking counsel there<S>1875</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S> went up<S>5927</S> there to the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which was at the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> one thousand<S>505</S> burnt offerings on it<S>5930</S>.


text:
In that night<S>3915</S> God<S>430</S> appeared to Solomon<S>8010</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>7592</S>, "Ask what I shall give you<S>5414</S>."

Now<S>3068</S>, Yahweh God<S>430</S>, let your promise<S>1697</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> be established<S>539</S>; for you have made me king<S>4427</S> over a people<S>5971</S> like the dust<S>6083</S> of the earth<S>776</S> in multitude<S>7227</S>.

Now give<S>5414</S> me wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S>, that I may go out<S>3318</S> and come in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> this people<S>5971</S>; for who can judge<S>8199</S> this your people<S>5971</S>, that is so great<S>1419</S>?"


text:
God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, "Because this was in your heart<S>3824</S>, and you have not asked<S>7592</S> riches<S>6239</S>, wealth<S>6239</S>, or honor<S>3519</S>, nor the life<S>5315</S> of those who hate<S>8130</S> you<S>7592</S>, neither yet have asked long<S>7227</S> life<S>3117</S>; but have asked<S>7592</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S> for yourself<S>8199</S>, that you may judge my people<S>5971</S>, over whom I have made you king<S>4427</S>:


text:
wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>4093</S> is granted<S>5414</S> to you<S>5414</S>. I will give you riches<S>6239</S>, wealth<S>6239</S>, and honor<S>3519</S>, such as none of the kings<S>4428</S> have had who have been before<S>6440</S> you<S>310</S>; neither shall there any after you have the like."


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> came<S>935</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> that was at Gibeon<S>1391</S>, from before<S>6440</S> the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S>, to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> gathered<S>622</S> chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>: and he had one thousand<S>505</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, that he placed<S>3240</S> in the chariot<S>7393</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and with the king<S>4428</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> made<S>5414</S> silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> to be in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> as stones<S>68</S>, and cedars<S>730</S> made<S>5414</S> he to be as the sycamore trees<S>8256</S> that are in the lowland<S>8219</S>, for abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
The horses<S>5483</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had were brought<S>4161</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> and from Kue<S>4723</S>; the king<S>4428</S>'s merchants<S>5503</S> purchased<S>3947</S> them<S>4242</S> from Kue<S>4723</S>.


text:
They brought up<S>5927</S> and brought out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> a chariot<S>4818</S> for six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and a horse<S>5483</S> for one hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S>: and so for all the kings<S>4428</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the kings<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, they brought them out<S>3318</S> by their means<S>3027</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> went<S>3212</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>; for all Israel<S>3478</S> had come<S>935</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S> to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3379</S>, when Jeroboam the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>4714</S>, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled<S>1272</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>), that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> returned<S>7725</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> him<S>3379</S>; and Jeroboam and all Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>, and they spoke<S>1696</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Your father<S>1</S> made our yoke<S>5923</S> grievous<S>7185</S>: now therefore make you the grievous<S>7186</S> service<S>5656</S> of your father<S>1</S>, and his heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S> which he put<S>5414</S> on us<S>7043</S>, lighter, and we will serve you<S>5647</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S> to them<S>7725</S>, "Come again to me after three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>." The people<S>5971</S> departed<S>3212</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> took counsel<S>3289</S> with the old<S>2205</S> men<S>5975</S>, who had stood before<S>6440</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his father<S>1</S> while he yet lived<S>2416</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "What<S>349</S> counsel do you give<S>3289</S> me to return<S>7725</S> answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>?"


text:
They spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "If you are kind<S>2896</S> to this people<S>5971</S>, and please<S>7521</S> them<S>1696</S>, and speak good<S>2896</S> words<S>1697</S> to them<S>5650</S>, then they will be your servants forever<S>3117</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S> to them<S>3289</S>, "What counsel do you give<S>7725</S>, that we may return answer<S>1697</S> to this people<S>5971</S>, who have spoken<S>1696</S> to me<S>559</S>, saying, <S>5923</S> 'Make the yoke that your father<S>1</S> put<S>5414</S> on us lighter<S>7043</S>?'"


text:
The young men<S>3206</S> who had grown up<S>1431</S> with him spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "Thus you shall tell<S>559</S> the people<S>5971</S> who spoke<S>1696</S> to you<S>559</S>, saying, <S>1</S> 'Your father made<S>3513</S> our yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but make it lighter<S>7043</S> on us<S>559</S>;' thus you shall say to them<S>6995</S>, 'My little finger is thicker<S>5666</S> than my father<S>1</S>'s waist<S>4975</S>.


text:
Now whereas<S>6258</S> my father<S>1</S> burdened<S>6006</S> you with a heavy<S>3515</S> yoke<S>5923</S>, I will add<S>3254</S> to your yoke<S>5923</S>. My father<S>1</S> chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise you with scorpions<S>6137</S>.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> them roughly<S>7186</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> forsook<S>5800</S> the counsel<S>6098</S> of the old men<S>2205</S>,


text:
and spoke<S>1696</S> to them after the counsel<S>6098</S> of the young men<S>3206</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "My father<S>1</S> made your yoke<S>5923</S> heavy<S>3513</S>, but I will add<S>3254</S> to it<S>1</S>. My father chastised<S>3256</S> you with whips<S>7752</S>, but I will chastise you with scorpions<S>6137</S>."


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> didn<S>8085</S>'t listen to the people<S>5971</S>; for it was brought<S>5252</S> about of God<S>430</S>, that Yahweh<S>3068</S> might establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S> to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
When all Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the king<S>4428</S> didn<S>8085</S>'t listen to them<S>5971</S>, the people answered<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "What portion<S>2506</S> have we in David<S>1732</S>? Neither have we inheritance<S>5159</S> in the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>! Every man<S>376</S> to your tents<S>168</S>, Israel<S>3478</S>! Now see<S>7200</S> to your own house<S>1004</S>, David<S>1732</S>." So all Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>3212</S> to their tents<S>168</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> sent<S>7971</S> Hadoram<S>1913</S>, who was over the men subject to forced labor<S>4522</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him to death<S>4191</S> with stones<S>68</S>. King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made speed<S>553</S> to get himself up<S>5927</S> to his chariot<S>4818</S>, to flee<S>5127</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
When Rehoboam<S>7346</S> had come<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, he assembled<S>6950</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, one hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>6213</S>, who were warriors, to fight<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, to bring<S>7725</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> again<S>7725</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>.


text:
But the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Speak<S>559</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and to all Israel<S>3478</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
<S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "You shall not go up<S>5927</S>, nor fight<S>3898</S> against your brothers<S>251</S>! Return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>; for this thing<S>1697</S> is of<S>1961</S> me<S>8085</S>."'" So they listened to the words<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> from going<S>3212</S> against Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> for defense<S>4692</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
and Zorah<S>6881</S>, and Aijalon<S>357</S>, and Hebron<S>2275</S>, which are in Judah<S>3063</S> and in Benjamin<S>1144</S>, fortified<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S>.


text:
He fortified<S>2388</S> the strongholds<S>4694</S>, and put<S>5414</S> captains<S>5057</S> in them<S>214</S>, and stores of food<S>3978</S>, and oil<S>8081</S> and wine<S>3196</S>.


text:
He put shields<S>6793</S> and spears<S>7420</S> in every city<S>5892</S>, and made them exceeding<S>7235</S> strong<S>2388</S>. Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin belonged to him<S>1144</S>.


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> who were in all Israel<S>3478</S> resorted<S>3320</S> to him out of all their border<S>1366</S>.


text:
For the Levites<S>3881</S> left<S>5800</S> their suburbs<S>4054</S> and their possession<S>272</S>, and came<S>3212</S> to Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> cast them off<S>2186</S>, that they should not execute the priest<S>3547</S>'s office to Yahweh<S>3068</S>;


text:
and he appointed<S>5975</S> him priests<S>3548</S> for the high places<S>1116</S>, and for the male goats<S>8163</S>, and for the calves<S>5695</S> which he had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> them<S>7626</S>, out of all the tribes of Israel<S>3478</S>, such as set<S>5414</S> their hearts<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1245</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
So they strengthened<S>2388</S> the kingdom<S>4438</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> strong<S>553</S>, three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>; for they walked<S>1980</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> and Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> took<S>3947</S> him a wife<S>802</S>, Mahalath<S>4258</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jerimoth<S>3406</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Abihail<S>32</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Eliab<S>446</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>;


text:
and she bore<S>3205</S> him sons<S>1121</S>: Jeush<S>3266</S>, and Shemariah<S>8114</S>, and Zaham<S>2093</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> her he took<S>3947</S> Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Absalom<S>53</S>; and she bore<S>3205</S> him Abijah<S>29</S>, and Attai<S>6262</S>, and Ziza<S>2124</S>, and Shelomith<S>8019</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> loved<S>157</S> Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> above all his wives<S>802</S> and his concubines<S>6370</S>: (for he took<S>5375</S> eighteen<S>8083</S> wives<S>802</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> concubines<S>6370</S>, and became the father<S>3205</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> - eight<S>8083</S> sons<S>1121</S> and sixty<S>8346</S> daughters<S>1323</S>.)


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> appointed<S>5975</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S> to be chief<S>7218</S>, the prince<S>5057</S> among his brothers<S>251</S>; for he intended to make him king<S>4427</S>.


text:
He dealt wisely<S>995</S>, and dispersed<S>6555</S> of all his sons<S>1121</S> throughout all the lands<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, to every fortified<S>4694</S> city<S>5892</S>: and he gave<S>5414</S> them food<S>4202</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>. He sought<S>7592</S> for them many<S>1995</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
It happened<S>4438</S>, when the kingdom of Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was established<S>3559</S>, and he was strong<S>2393</S>, that he forsook<S>5800</S> the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and all Israel with him<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened in the fifth<S>2549</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, that Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, because they had trespassed<S>4603</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
with twelve hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and sixty<S>8346</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>. The people<S>5971</S> were without number<S>4557</S> who came<S>935</S> with him out of Egypt<S>4714</S>: the Lubim<S>3864</S>, the Sukkiim<S>5525</S>, and the Ethiopians<S>3569</S>.


text:
He took<S>3920</S> the fortified<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> which pertained to Judah<S>3063</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Now Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>935</S> to Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, and to the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, who were gathered together<S>622</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> because<S>6440</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>5800</S> 'You have forsaken me<S>637</S>, therefore have I also left<S>5800</S> you in the hand<S>3027</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>.'"


text:
Then the princes<S>8269</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and the king<S>4428</S> humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>559</S>; and they said, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> is righteous<S>6662</S>."


text:
When Yahweh<S>3068</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>1697</S>, the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "They have humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>7843</S>. I will not destroy them<S>5414</S>; but I will grant them some<S>4592</S> deliverance<S>6413</S>, and my wrath<S>2534</S> shall not be poured out<S>5413</S> on Jerusalem<S>3389</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Shishak<S>7895</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they shall be his servants<S>5650</S>, that they may know<S>3045</S> my service<S>5656</S>, and the service<S>5656</S> of the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the countries<S>776</S>."


text:
So Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and took away<S>3947</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>. He took<S>3947</S> it all away<S>3947</S>. He also took away the shields<S>4043</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
It was so<S>1767</S>, that as often as the king<S>4428</S> entered<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the guard<S>7323</S> came<S>935</S> and bore<S>5375</S> them<S>7725</S>, and brought them back into the guard<S>7323</S> room<S>8372</S>.


text:
When he humbled<S>3665</S> himself<S>639</S>, the wrath of Yahweh<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> from him<S>7843</S>, so as not to destroy him altogether<S>3617</S>: and moreover in Judah<S>3063</S> there were good<S>2896</S> things found<S>1697</S>.


text:
So king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S>: for Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was forty<S>705</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> had chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to put<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> there<S>517</S>: and his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S>, because he didn<S>3559</S>'t set his heart<S>3820</S> to seek<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now the acts<S>1697</S> of Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the histories<S>1697</S> of Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> and of Iddo<S>5714</S> the seer<S>2374</S>, after the way of genealogies<S>3187</S>? There were wars<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Abijah<S>29</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> began Abijah<S>29</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Micaiah<S>4322</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Uriel<S>222</S> of Gibeah<S>1390</S>. There was war<S>4421</S> between Abijah<S>29</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Abijah<S>29</S> joined<S>631</S> battle<S>4421</S> with<S>631</S> an army<S>2428</S> of valiant men<S>1368</S> of war<S>4421</S>, even four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>1368</S>: and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against him with eight<S>8083</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>, who were mighty men<S>376</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
Abijah<S>29</S> stood up<S>6965</S> on Mount<S>2022</S> Zemaraim<S>6787</S>, which is in the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S> me<S>3379</S>, Jeroboam and all Israel<S>3478</S>:


text:
Ought you not to know<S>3045</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, gave<S>5414</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> to David<S>1732</S> forever<S>5769</S>, even to him and to his sons<S>1121</S> by a covenant<S>1285</S> of salt<S>4417</S>?


text:
Yet Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>, rose up<S>6965</S>, and rebelled<S>4775</S> against his lord<S>113</S>.


text:
There were gathered<S>6908</S> to him worthless<S>1100</S> men<S>582</S>, base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>582</S>, who strengthened<S>553</S> themselves against Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, when Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was young<S>5288</S> and tenderhearted<S>7390</S>, and could not withstand<S>2388</S> them<S>6440</S>.


text:
"Now you think<S>559</S> to withstand<S>2388</S> the kingdom<S>6440</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and you are a great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S>, and there are with you the golden<S>2091</S> calves<S>5695</S> which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> made<S>6213</S> you for gods<S>430</S>.


text:
Haven<S>5080</S>'t you driven out the priests<S>3548</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and made<S>6213</S> priests<S>3548</S> for yourselves after the ways of the peoples<S>5971</S> of other lands<S>776</S>? so that whoever comes<S>935</S> to consecrate<S>4390</S> himself with a young<S>1121</S> bull<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, the same may be a priest<S>3548</S> of those who are no<S>3808</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
"But as for us<S>3068</S>, Yahweh is our God<S>430</S>, and we have not forsaken<S>5800</S> him<S>3548</S>; and we have priests ministering<S>8334</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> in their work<S>4399</S>:


text:
and they burn<S>6999</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> every morning<S>1242</S> and every evening<S>6153</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sweet<S>5561</S> incense<S>7004</S>. They also set the show bread<S>3899</S> in order on the pure<S>2889</S> table<S>7979</S>; and the lampstand<S>4501</S> of gold<S>2091</S> with its lamps<S>5216</S>, to burn<S>1197</S> every evening<S>6153</S>: for we keep<S>8104</S> the instruction<S>4931</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>; but you have forsaken him<S>5800</S>.


text:
Behold<S>430</S>, God is with us at our head<S>7218</S>, and his priests<S>3548</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S> of alarm<S>7321</S> to sound an alarm<S>7321</S> against you<S>1121</S>. Children of Israel<S>3478</S>, don<S>3898</S>'t fight against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>; for you shall not prosper<S>6743</S>."


text:
But Jeroboam<S>3379</S> caused an ambush<S>3993</S> to come<S>935</S> about<S>5437</S> behind<S>310</S> them<S>6440</S>: so they were before Judah<S>3063</S>, and the ambush<S>3993</S> was behind them<S>310</S>.


text:
When Judah<S>3063</S> looked back<S>6437</S>, behold<S>4421</S>, the battle was before<S>6440</S> and behind<S>268</S> them<S>6817</S>; and they cried to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> sounded<S>2690</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S>.


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> gave a shout<S>7321</S>: and as the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, it happened<S>430</S>, that God struck<S>5062</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> before<S>6440</S> Abijah<S>29</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> Judah<S>3063</S>; and God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Abijah<S>29</S> and his people<S>5971</S> killed<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>7227</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>: so there fell down<S>5307</S> slain<S>2491</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Thus the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were brought<S>3665</S> under at that time<S>6256</S>, and the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> prevailed<S>553</S>, because they relied<S>8172</S> on Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Abijah<S>29</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and took<S>3920</S> cities<S>5892</S> from him<S>1008</S>, Bethel with its towns<S>1323</S>, and Jeshanah<S>3466</S> with its towns<S>1323</S>, and Ephron<S>6085</S> with its towns<S>1323</S>.


text:
Jeroboam<S>3379</S> didn<S>6113</S>'t recover strength<S>3581</S> again in the days<S>3117</S> of Abijah<S>29</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> him<S>4191</S>, and he died.

But Abijah<S>29</S> grew mighty<S>2388</S>, and took<S>5375</S> to himself fourteen<S>702</S> wives<S>802</S>, and became the father<S>3205</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, and sixteen<S>8337</S> daughters<S>1323</S>.


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijah<S>29</S>, and his ways<S>1870</S>, and his sayings<S>1697</S>, are written<S>3789</S> in the commentary<S>4097</S> of the prophet<S>5030</S> Iddo<S>5714</S>.


text:
So Abijah<S>29</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>; and Asa<S>609</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his place<S>3117</S>. In his days the land<S>776</S> was quiet<S>8252</S> ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>:


text:
for he took away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> altars<S>4196</S>, and the high places<S>1116</S>, and broke down<S>7665</S> the pillars<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>7665</S> the Asherim<S>842</S>,


text:
and commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> to seek<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> the law<S>8451</S> and the commandment<S>4687</S>.


text:
Also he took away<S>5493</S> out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and the sun images<S>2553</S>: and the kingdom<S>4467</S> was quiet<S>8252</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> fortified<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>; for the land<S>776</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>, and he had no war<S>4421</S> in those years<S>8141</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> had given him rest<S>5117</S>.


text:
For he said<S>559</S> to Judah<S>3063</S>, "Let us build<S>1129</S> these cities<S>5892</S>, and make walls<S>2346</S> around<S>5437</S> them<S>4026</S>, with towers, gates<S>1817</S>, and bars<S>1280</S>. The land<S>776</S> is yet before<S>6440</S> us<S>1875</S>, because we have sought Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>; we have sought<S>1875</S> him<S>5117</S>, and he has given us rest on every side<S>5439</S>." So they built<S>1129</S> and prospered<S>6743</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> had an army<S>2428</S> that bore<S>5375</S> bucklers<S>6793</S> and spears<S>7420</S>, out of Judah<S>3063</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>; and out of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, that bore<S>5375</S> shields<S>4043</S> and drew<S>1869</S> bows<S>7198</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S>: all these were mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
There came out<S>3318</S> against them Zerah<S>2226</S> the Ethiopian<S>3569</S> with an army<S>2428</S> of a<S>505</S> million<S>505</S> troops<S>7969</S>, and three hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>4818</S>; and he came<S>935</S> to Mareshah<S>4762</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> him<S>4421</S>, and they set the battle in array<S>6186</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of Zephathah<S>6859</S> at Mareshah<S>4762</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> cried<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, there is none besides you to help<S>5826</S>, between<S>996</S> the mighty<S>7227</S> and him who has no strength<S>3581</S>. Help<S>5826</S> us<S>3068</S>, Yahweh our God<S>430</S>; for we rely<S>8172</S> on you<S>8034</S>, and in your name are we come<S>935</S> against this multitude<S>1995</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S>, you are our God<S>935</S>. Don<S>582</S>'t let man prevail against you<S>6113</S>."


text:
So Yahweh<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> before<S>6440</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and before<S>6440</S> Judah<S>3063</S>; and the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> and the people<S>5971</S> who were with him pursued<S>7291</S> them to Gerar<S>1642</S>: and there fell<S>5307</S> of the Ethiopians<S>3569</S> so many that they could not recover<S>4241</S> themselves<S>7665</S>; for they were destroyed before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and before<S>6440</S> his army<S>4264</S>; and they carried away<S>5375</S> very<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S> booty<S>7998</S>.


text:
They struck<S>5221</S> all the cities<S>5892</S> around<S>5439</S> Gerar<S>1642</S>; for the fear<S>6343</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came on them<S>962</S>: and they despoiled all the cities<S>5892</S>; for there was much<S>7227</S> spoil in them<S>961</S>.


text:
They struck<S>5221</S> also the tents<S>168</S> of livestock<S>4735</S>, and carried away<S>7617</S> sheep<S>6629</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and camels<S>1581</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came on Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Oded<S>5752</S>:


text:
and he went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "Hear me<S>609</S>, Asa, and all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>! Yahweh<S>3068</S> is with you<S>1875</S>, while you are with him; and if you seek him<S>4672</S>, he will be found by you<S>5800</S>; but if you forsake him<S>5800</S>, he will forsake you.


text:
Now for a long<S>7227</S> time<S>3117</S> Israel<S>3478</S> was without<S>3808</S> the true<S>571</S> God<S>430</S>, and without a teaching<S>3384</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and without law<S>8451</S>.


text:
But when in their distress<S>6862</S> they turned<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and sought<S>1245</S> him<S>4672</S>, he was found by them.


text:
In those times<S>6256</S> there was no peace<S>7965</S> to him who went out<S>3318</S>, nor to him who came in<S>935</S>; but great<S>7227</S> troubles<S>4103</S> were on all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the lands<S>776</S>.


text:
They were broken<S>3807</S> in pieces<S>1471</S>, nation against nation<S>1471</S>, and city<S>5892</S> against city<S>5892</S>; for God<S>430</S> troubled<S>2000</S> them with all adversity<S>6869</S>.


text:
But you be strong<S>2388</S>, and don<S>3027</S>'t let your hands be slack<S>7503</S>; for your work<S>6468</S> shall be<S>3426</S> rewarded<S>7939</S>."


text:
When Asa<S>609</S> heard<S>8085</S> these words<S>1697</S>, and the prophecy<S>5016</S> of Oded<S>5752</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, he took courage<S>2388</S>, and put away<S>5674</S> the abominations<S>8251</S> out of all the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and out of the cities<S>5892</S> which he had taken<S>3920</S> from the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>; and he renewed<S>2318</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that was before<S>6440</S> the porch<S>197</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He gathered<S>6908</S> all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and those who lived<S>1481</S> with them out of Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and out of Simeon<S>8095</S>: for they fell<S>5307</S> to him out of Israel<S>3478</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, when they saw<S>7200</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God was with him<S>430</S>.


text:
So they gathered themselves together<S>6908</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the third<S>7992</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the fifteenth<S>2568</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S>.


text:
They sacrificed<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> in that day<S>3117</S>, of the spoil<S>7998</S> which they had brought<S>935</S>, seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> head of cattle<S>1241</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
They entered<S>935</S> into the covenant<S>1285</S> to seek<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, with all their heart<S>3824</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S>;


text:
and that whoever would not seek<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, should be put to death<S>4191</S>, whether<S>4480</S> small<S>6996</S> or great<S>1419</S>, whether man<S>376</S> or woman<S>802</S>.


text:
They swore<S>7650</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>, and with shouting<S>8643</S>, and with trumpets<S>2689</S>, and with cornets<S>7782</S>.


text:
All Judah<S>3063</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S> at the oath<S>7621</S>; for they had sworn<S>7650</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S>, and sought<S>1245</S> him with their whole desire<S>7522</S>; and he was found<S>4672</S> of them<S>3068</S>: and Yahweh gave them rest<S>5117</S> all around<S>5439</S>.


text:
Also Maacah<S>4601</S>, the mother<S>517</S> of Asa<S>609</S> the king<S>4428</S>, he removed<S>5493</S> from being queen<S>1377</S>, because she had made<S>6213</S> an abominable image<S>4656</S> for an Asherah<S>842</S>; and Asa<S>609</S> cut down<S>3772</S> her image<S>4656</S>, and made dust<S>1854</S> of it<S>8313</S>, and burnt it at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S> out of Israel<S>3478</S>: nevertheless the heart<S>3824</S> of Asa<S>609</S> was perfect<S>8003</S> all his days<S>3117</S>.


text:
He brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> the things that his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, and that he himself had dedicated<S>6944</S>, silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
There was no more war<S>4421</S> to the five<S>2568</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S>.


text:
In the six<S>8337</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Asa<S>609</S>, Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4438</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and built<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, that<S>1115</S> he might not allow<S>5414</S> anyone to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> brought out<S>3318</S> silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S> out of the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> and of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> to Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, who lived<S>3427</S> at Damascus<S>1834</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Let there be a treaty<S>1285</S> between me and you<S>1</S>, as there was between my father and your father<S>1</S>. Behold<S>7971</S>, I have sent you silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>. Go<S>3212</S>, break<S>6565</S> your treaty<S>1285</S> with Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may depart from me<S>5927</S>."


text:
Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> listened<S>8085</S> to king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of his armies<S>2428</S> against the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and they struck<S>5221</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Dan<S>1835</S>, and Abel Maim<S>66</S>, and all the storage<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>.


text:
It happened<S>1201</S>, when Baasha heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>2308</S>, that he left off building<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, and let his work<S>4399</S> cease<S>7673</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> the king<S>4428</S> took<S>3947</S> all Judah<S>3063</S>; and they carried away<S>5375</S> the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and its timber<S>6086</S>, with which Baasha<S>1201</S> had built<S>1129</S>; and he built therewith Geba<S>1387</S> and Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Hanani<S>2607</S> the seer<S>7200</S> came<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>8172</S>, "Because you have relied on the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and have not relied<S>8172</S> on Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, therefore is the army<S>2428</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Weren<S>3569</S>'t the Ethiopians and the Lubim<S>3864</S> a huge<S>7230</S> army<S>2428</S>, with chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S> exceeding<S>3966</S> many<S>7235</S>? Yet<S>8172</S>, because you relied on Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he delivered<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> run back and forth<S>7751</S> throughout the whole earth<S>776</S>, to show himself strong<S>2388</S> in the behalf of them whose heart<S>3824</S> is perfect<S>8003</S> toward him<S>5528</S>. Herein you have done foolishly; for from henceforth<S>6258</S> you shall have<S>3426</S> wars<S>4421</S>."


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> was angry<S>3707</S> with the seer<S>7200</S>, and put<S>5414</S> him in the prison<S>4115</S>; <S>1004</S> for he was in a rage<S>2197</S> with him because of this thing<S>609</S>. Asa oppressed<S>7533</S> some of the people<S>5971</S> at the same time<S>6256</S>.


text:
Behold<S>1697</S>, the acts of Asa<S>609</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> - ninth<S>8672</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4438</S> Asa<S>609</S> was diseased<S>2456</S> in his feet<S>7272</S>; his disease<S>2483</S> was exceeding<S>4605</S> great<S>2483</S>: yet in his disease he didn<S>1875</S>'t seek Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but to the physicians<S>7495</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and died<S>4191</S> in the one<S>259</S> and fortieth<S>705</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>.


text:
They buried<S>6912</S> him in his own tombs<S>6913</S>, which he had dug<S>3738</S> out for himself in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him in the bed<S>4904</S> which was filled<S>4390</S> with sweet odors<S>1314</S> and various kinds<S>2177</S> of spices prepared<S>7543</S> by the perfumers<S>4842</S>' art<S>4639</S>: and they made<S>8313</S> a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> burning for him<S>8316</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in his place<S>2388</S>, and strengthened himself against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He placed<S>5414</S> forces<S>2428</S> in all the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and set<S>5414</S> garrisons<S>5333</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in the cities<S>5892</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, which Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S> had taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> was with Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, because he walked<S>1980</S> in the first<S>7223</S> ways<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S>, and didn<S>1875</S>'t seek the Baals<S>1168</S>,


text:
but sought<S>1875</S> to the God<S>430</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and walked<S>1980</S> in his commandments<S>4687</S>, and not after the doings<S>4639</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> established<S>3559</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and all Judah<S>3063</S> brought<S>5414</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> tribute<S>4503</S>; and he had riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
His heart<S>3820</S> was lifted up<S>1361</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and furthermore he took away<S>5493</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and the Asherim<S>842</S> out of Judah<S>3063</S>.

Also in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S> he sent<S>7971</S> his princes<S>8269</S>, even Ben Hail<S>1134</S>, and Obadiah<S>5662</S>, and Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Nethanel<S>5417</S>, and Micaiah<S>4322</S>, to teach<S>3925</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>;


text:
and with them the Levites<S>3881</S>, even Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and Nethaniah<S>5418</S>, and Zebadiah<S>2069</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>, and Shemiramoth<S>8070</S>, and Jehonathan<S>3083</S>, and Adonijah<S>138</S>, and Tobijah<S>2900</S>, and Tobadonijah<S>2899</S>, the Levites<S>3881</S>; and with them Elishama<S>476</S> and Jehoram<S>3088</S>, the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
They taught<S>3925</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, having the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> with them<S>5437</S>; and they went about throughout all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and taught<S>3925</S> among the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
The fear<S>6343</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> fell on all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the lands<S>776</S> that were around<S>5439</S> Judah<S>3063</S>, so that they made no war<S>3898</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>.


text:
Some of the Philistines<S>6430</S> brought<S>935</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> presents<S>4503</S>, and silver<S>3701</S> for tribute<S>4503</S>; the Arabians<S>6163</S> also brought<S>935</S> him flocks<S>6629</S>, seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> rams<S>352</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> male goats<S>8495</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> grew<S>1980</S> great<S>1432</S> exceedingly<S>4605</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> castles<S>1003</S> and cities<S>5892</S> of store<S>4543</S>.


text:
He had many<S>7227</S> works<S>4399</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, mighty men<S>582</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
This was the numbering<S>6486</S> of them according to their fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>1004</S>: Of Judah<S>3063</S>, the captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S>: Adnah<S>5734</S> the captain<S>8269</S>, and with him mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>;


text:
and next<S>3027</S> to him Jehohanan<S>3076</S> the captain<S>8269</S>, and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S>;


text:
and next<S>3027</S> to him Amasiah<S>6007</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zichri<S>2147</S>, who willingly offered<S>5068</S> himself to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
Of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: Eliada<S>450</S> a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> armed<S>5401</S> with bow<S>7198</S> and shield<S>4043</S>;


text:
and next<S>3027</S> to him Jehozabad<S>3075</S> and with him one hundred<S>3967</S> eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> ready prepared<S>2502</S> for war<S>6635</S>.


text:
These were those who waited<S>8334</S> on the king<S>4428</S>, besides those whom the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> in the fortified<S>4013</S> cities<S>5892</S> throughout all Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Now Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> had riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>; and he joined affinity<S>2859</S> with Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
After<S>7093</S> certain years<S>8141</S> he went down<S>3381</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>. Ahab<S>256</S> killed<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and cattle<S>1241</S> for him in abundance<S>7230</S>, and for the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>5496</S>, and moved him to go up<S>5927</S> with him to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, "Will you go<S>3212</S> with me to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>?" He answered<S>559</S> him<S>5971</S>, "I am as you are, and my people as your people<S>5971</S>. We will be with you in the war<S>4421</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3212</S>, "Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>?" They said<S>559</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S>; for God<S>430</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, "Isn<S>5030</S>'t there here a prophet of Yahweh<S>3068</S> besides<S>1875</S>, that we may inquire of him?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "There is yet one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> by whom we may inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; but I hate<S>8130</S> him<S>5012</S>, for he never prophesies good<S>2896</S> concerning me<S>3117</S>, but always evil<S>7451</S>. He is Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imla<S>3229</S>." Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, "Don<S>4428</S>'t let the king say so<S>559</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> an<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Get Micaiah<S>4319</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imla<S>3229</S> quickly<S>4116</S>."


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sat<S>3427</S> each<S>376</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, arrayed<S>3847</S> in their robes<S>899</S>, and they were sitting<S>3427</S> in an open place<S>1637</S> at the entrance<S>8179</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and all the prophets<S>5030</S> were prophesying<S>5012</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
The messenger<S>4397</S> who went<S>1980</S> to call<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "Behold<S>1697</S>, the words of the prophets<S>5030</S> declare good<S>2896</S> to the king<S>4428</S> with one<S>259</S> mouth<S>259</S>. Let your word<S>1697</S> therefore<S>259</S>, please be like one of theirs<S>1696</S>, and speak good<S>2896</S>."


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, what my God<S>430</S> says<S>559</S>, that will I speak<S>1696</S>."


text:
When he had come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>4318</S>, "Micaiah, shall we go<S>3212</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S>, and prosper<S>6743</S>. They shall be delivered<S>5414</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6471</S>, "How many times shall I adjure<S>7650</S> you that you speak<S>1696</S> to me nothing but the truth<S>571</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>?"


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "I saw<S>7200</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> scattered<S>6327</S> on the mountains<S>2022</S>, as sheep<S>6629</S> that have no shepherd<S>7462</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>113</S> 'These have no master. Let them return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.'"


text:
Micaiah said<S>559</S>, "Therefore hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: I saw<S>7200</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> sitting<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, and all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'Who shall entice Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may go up<S>5927</S> and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>?' One spoke<S>559</S> saying<S>559</S> in this way<S>3602</S>, and another saying<S>559</S> in that way<S>3602</S>.


text:
A spirit<S>7307</S> came out<S>3318</S>, stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'I will entice him<S>3068</S>.' "Yahweh said to him<S>559</S>, 'How?'


text:
"He said<S>559</S>, <S>3318</S> 'I will go forth, and will be a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all his prophets<S>5030</S>.' "He said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'You will entice him<S>3201</S>, and will prevail also<S>3318</S>. Go forth, and do so<S>6213</S>.'


text:
"Now therefore<S>3068</S>, behold, Yahweh has put<S>5414</S> a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of these your prophets<S>5030</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> evil concerning you<S>7451</S>."


text:
Then Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> on the cheek<S>3895</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Which<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> did the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> go<S>5674</S> from me to speak to you<S>1696</S>?"


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see on that day<S>3117</S>, when you shall go<S>935</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> room<S>2315</S> to hide yourself<S>2244</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S>, and carry him back<S>7725</S> to Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and to Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>;


text:
and say<S>559</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says the king<S>4428</S>, "Put<S>7760</S> this fellow in the prison<S>1004</S>, and feed<S>398</S> him with bread<S>3899</S> of affliction<S>3906</S> and with water<S>4325</S> of affliction<S>3906</S>, until I return<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>."'"


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "If you return<S>7725</S> at<S>7725</S> all in peace<S>7965</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> has not spoken<S>1696</S> by me<S>559</S>." He said, "Listen<S>8085</S>, you peoples<S>5971</S>, all of you!"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "I will disguise<S>2664</S> myself<S>935</S>, and go into the battle<S>4421</S>; but you put<S>3847</S> on your robes<S>899</S>." So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>935</S>; and they went into the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Fight<S>3898</S> neither with small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, except only with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
It happened<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, "It is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>!" Therefore they turned around<S>5437</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against him<S>3092</S>. But Jehoshaphat cried out<S>2199</S>, and Yahweh<S>3068</S> helped<S>5826</S> him<S>430</S>; and God moved them to depart from him<S>5496</S>.


text:
A certain man drew<S>4900</S> his bow<S>7198</S> at random<S>8537</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> between the joints<S>1694</S> of the armor<S>8302</S>. Therefore he said<S>559</S> to the driver<S>376</S> of the chariot<S>7395</S>, "Turn<S>2015</S> your hand<S>3027</S>, and carry me out<S>3318</S> of the army<S>4264</S>; for I am severely wounded<S>2470</S>."


text:
The battle<S>4421</S> increased<S>5927</S> that day<S>3117</S>. However the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> propped himself up<S>5975</S> in his chariot<S>4818</S> against<S>5227</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> until the evening<S>6153</S>; and about the time<S>6256</S> of the going down<S>935</S> of the sun<S>8121</S>, he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> returned<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> the seer<S>2374</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> him<S>559</S>, and said to king<S>4428</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "Should you help<S>5826</S> the wicked<S>7563</S>, and love<S>157</S> those who hate<S>8130</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>? Because<S>2063</S> of this<S>7110</S>, wrath is on you from before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>61</S> there are good<S>2896</S> things<S>1697</S> found<S>4672</S> in you<S>1197</S>, in that you have put away the Asheroth<S>842</S> out of the land<S>776</S>, and have set<S>3559</S> your heart<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S>."


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> lived<S>3427</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he went out<S>3318</S> again<S>7725</S> among the people<S>5971</S> from Beersheba<S>884</S> to the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and brought them back<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
He set<S>5975</S> judges<S>8199</S> in the land<S>776</S> throughout all the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, city<S>5892</S> by city<S>5892</S>,


text:
and said<S>559</S> to the judges<S>8199</S>, "Consider<S>7200</S> what you do<S>6213</S>: for you don<S>8199</S>'t judge for man<S>120</S>, but for Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and he is with you in the judgment<S>1697</S>.


text:
Now therefore let the fear<S>6343</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> be on you<S>8104</S>. Take heed and do<S>6213</S> it<S>5766</S>: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, nor respect<S>4856</S> of persons<S>6440</S>, nor taking<S>4727</S> of bribes<S>7810</S>."


text:
Moreover in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> appointed<S>5975</S> Levites<S>3881</S> and priests<S>3548</S>, and of the heads<S>7218</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' households of Israel<S>3478</S>, for the judgment<S>4941</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and for controversies<S>7379</S>. They returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, "Thus you shall do<S>6213</S> in the fear<S>3374</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, faithfully<S>530</S>, and with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Whenever any controversy shall come<S>935</S> to you from your brothers<S>251</S> who dwell<S>3427</S> in their cities<S>5892</S>, between blood<S>1818</S> and blood<S>1818</S>, between law<S>8451</S> and commandment<S>4687</S>, statutes<S>2706</S> and ordinances<S>4941</S>, you shall warn<S>2094</S> them<S>816</S>, that they not be guilty towards Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and so wrath<S>7110</S> come on you and on your brothers<S>251</S>. Do<S>6213</S> this<S>3541</S>, and you shall not be guilty<S>816</S>.

Now Solomon<S>8010</S> purposed<S>559</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and a house<S>1004</S> for his kingdom<S>4438</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Huram<S>2361</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "As you dealt<S>6213</S> with David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> him cedars<S>730</S> to build<S>1129</S> him a house<S>1004</S> in which to dwell<S>3427</S>, so deal with me.

Behold<S>1129</S>, I am about to build a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, to dedicate<S>6942</S> it to him<S>6999</S>, and to burn before<S>6440</S> him incense<S>7004</S> of sweet<S>5561</S> spices<S>8548</S>, and for the continual show bread<S>4635</S>, and for the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> morning<S>1242</S> and evening<S>6153</S>, on the Sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and on the new moons<S>2320</S>, and on the set feasts<S>4150</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>.

"The house<S>1004</S> which I build<S>1129</S> is great<S>1419</S>; for our God<S>430</S> is great<S>1419</S> above all gods<S>430</S>.

But who is able<S>6113</S> to build<S>1129</S> him a house<S>1004</S>, since heaven<S>8064</S> and the heaven<S>8064</S> of heavens<S>8064</S> can<S>3557</S>'t contain him<S>1129</S>? who am I then, that I should build him a house<S>1004</S>, except<S>518</S> just to burn incense<S>6999</S> before him<S>6440</S>?

Then Huram<S>2361</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> answered<S>559</S> in writing<S>3791</S>, which he sent<S>7971</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, "Because Yahweh<S>3068</S> loves<S>160</S> his people<S>5971</S>, he has made<S>5414</S> you king over them<S>4428</S>."

Solomon<S>8010</S> numbered<S>5608</S> all the foreigners<S>582</S> who were in the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, after<S>310</S> the numbering<S>5610</S> with which David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had numbered<S>5608</S> them<S>4672</S>; and they were found one hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S> - three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>.

It happened after this<S>310</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and with them some of the Ammonites<S>5984</S>, came<S>935</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> to battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Then some came<S>935</S> who told<S>5046</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "A great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S> is coming<S>935</S> against you from beyond<S>5676</S> the sea<S>3220</S> from Syria<S>758</S>. Behold<S>2688</S>, they are in Hazazon Tamar" (that is<S>5872</S>, En Gedi).


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was alarmed<S>3372</S>, and set<S>5414</S> himself<S>6440</S> to seek<S>1875</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>. He proclaimed<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S> throughout<S>5921</S> all Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Judah<S>3063</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, to seek<S>1245</S> help from Yahweh<S>3068</S>. They came<S>935</S> out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to seek<S>1245</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> stood<S>5975</S> in the assembly<S>6951</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, before<S>6440</S> the new<S>2319</S> court<S>2691</S>;

Didn<S>430</S>'t you, our God, drive out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of this land<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and give<S>5414</S> it to the seed<S>2233</S> of Abraham<S>85</S> your friend<S>157</S> forever<S>5769</S>?

They lived<S>3427</S> in it<S>1129</S>, and have built you a sanctuary<S>4720</S> in it for your name<S>8034</S>, saying<S>559</S>,

<S>7451</S> 'If evil comes<S>935</S> on us<S>2719</S>—the sword, judgment<S>8196</S>, pestilence<S>1698</S>, or famine<S>7458</S>—we will stand<S>5975</S> before this house<S>1004</S>, and before<S>6440</S> you<S>6440</S>, (for your name<S>8034</S> is in this house<S>1004</S>), and cry<S>2199</S> to you in our affliction<S>6869</S>, and you will hear<S>8085</S> and save<S>3467</S>.'


text:
Now<S>1121</S>, behold, the children of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Moab<S>4124</S> and Mount<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, whom you would not let<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> invade<S>935</S>, when they came out<S>935</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, but they turned<S>5493</S> aside from them<S>8045</S>, and didn't destroy them;


text:
behold<S>1580</S>, how they reward us<S>935</S>, to come to cast us out<S>1644</S> of your possession<S>3425</S>, which you have given us to inherit<S>3423</S>.


text:
Our God<S>430</S>, will you not judge<S>8199</S> them<S>3581</S>? For we have no might against<S>6440</S> this great<S>7227</S> company<S>1995</S> that comes<S>935</S> against us<S>3045</S>; neither know we<S>587</S> what to do<S>6213</S>, but our eyes are on you<S>5869</S>."

All Judah<S>3063</S> stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, with<S>1571</S> their little ones<S>2945</S>, their wives<S>802</S>, and their children<S>1121</S>.

Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came on Jahaziel<S>3166</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Benaiah<S>1141</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jeiel<S>3273</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Mattaniah<S>4983</S>, the Levite<S>3881</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S>, in the midst<S>8432</S> of the assembly<S>6951</S>;

and he said<S>559</S>, "Listen<S>7181</S>, all Judah<S>3063</S>, and you inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and you king<S>4428</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>.

Tomorrow<S>4279</S> go down<S>3381</S> against them<S>5927</S>. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent<S>5927</S> of Ziz<S>6732</S>. You shall find<S>4672</S> them at the end<S>5490</S> of the valley<S>5158</S>, before<S>6440</S> the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Jeruel<S>3385</S>.

You will not need to fight<S>3898</S> this<S>2063</S> battle<S>3320</S>. Set yourselves<S>5975</S>, stand still<S>7200</S>, and see the salvation<S>3444</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> with you<S>3063</S>, O Judah and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. Don<S>3372</S>'t be afraid, nor be dismayed<S>2865</S>. Go out<S>3318</S> against<S>6440</S> them tomorrow<S>4279</S>, for Yahweh is with you<S>3068</S>.'"


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> bowed<S>6915</S> his head with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>; and all Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> fell<S>5307</S> down before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, worshipping<S>7812</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

The Levites<S>3881</S>, of the children<S>1121</S> of the Kohathites<S>6956</S> and of the children<S>1121</S> of the Korahites<S>7145</S>, stood up<S>6965</S> to praise<S>1984</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, with an exceeding<S>4605</S> loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>.

They rose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and went forth<S>3318</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Tekoa<S>8620</S>: and as they went forth<S>3318</S>, Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> stood<S>5975</S> and said<S>559</S>, "Listen<S>8085</S> to me<S>3063</S>, Judah, and you inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>!

When he had taken counsel<S>3289</S> with the people<S>5971</S>, he appointed<S>5975</S> those who should sing<S>7891</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and give praise<S>1984</S> in holy<S>6944</S> array<S>1927</S>, as they went out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> the army<S>2502</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Give thanks<S>3034</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for his loving kindness<S>2617</S> endures forever<S>5769</S>.


text:
When<S>6256</S> they began<S>2490</S> to sing<S>7440</S> and to praise<S>8416</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> set<S>5414</S> ambushers<S>693</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, Moab<S>4124</S>, and Mount<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, who had come<S>935</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>; and they were struck<S>5062</S>.


text:
For the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Moab<S>4124</S> stood up<S>5975</S> against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Mount<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, utterly to kill<S>2763</S> and destroy<S>8045</S> them<S>3615</S>: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Seir<S>8165</S>, everyone<S>376</S> helped<S>5826</S> to destroy<S>4889</S> another<S>7453</S>.

When Judah<S>3063</S> came<S>935</S> to the place overlooking<S>4707</S> the wilderness<S>4057</S>, they looked<S>6437</S> at the multitude<S>1995</S>; and behold<S>6297</S>, they were dead bodies fallen<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and there were none who escaped<S>6413</S>.


text:
When Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> and his people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to take<S>962</S> their spoil<S>7998</S>, they found<S>4672</S> among them in abundance<S>7230</S> both riches<S>7399</S> and dead bodies<S>6297</S>, and precious<S>2532</S> jewels<S>3627</S>, which they stripped off<S>5337</S> for themselves<S>369</S>, more than they could carry away<S>4853</S>: and they were three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> in taking<S>962</S> the spoil<S>7998</S>, it was so much<S>7227</S>.


text:
On the fourth<S>7243</S> day<S>3117</S> they assembled<S>6950</S> themselves in the valley<S>6010</S> of Beracah<S>1294</S>; for there they blessed<S>1288</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>: therefore the name<S>8034</S> of that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S> The valley<S>6010</S> of Beracah<S>1294</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then they returned<S>7725</S>, every man<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> in their forefront<S>7218</S>, to go again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with joy<S>8057</S>; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> had made them to rejoice<S>8055</S> over their enemies<S>341</S>.

They came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with stringed instruments<S>5035</S> and harps<S>3658</S> and trumpets<S>2689</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

The fear<S>6343</S> of God<S>430</S> was on all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the countries<S>776</S>, when they heard<S>8085</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> fought<S>3898</S> against the enemies<S>341</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So the realm<S>4438</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>; for his God<S>430</S> gave him rest<S>5117</S> all around<S>5439</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>: he was thirty<S>7970</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Azubah<S>5806</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Shilhi<S>7977</S>.


text:
He walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S>, and didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside from it<S>6213</S>, doing that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
However the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>; neither as yet had the people<S>5971</S> set<S>3559</S> their hearts<S>3824</S> to the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the history<S>1697</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S>, which is inserted<S>5927</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> this Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> joined<S>2266</S> himself with Ahaziah<S>274</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. The same did<S>6213</S> very wickedly<S>7561</S>:


text:
and he joined<S>2266</S> himself with him to make<S>6213</S> ships<S>591</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S>; and they made<S>6213</S> the ships<S>591</S> in Ezion Geber<S>6100</S>.


text:
Then Eliezer<S>461</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Dodavahu<S>1735</S> of Mareshah<S>4762</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> against Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Because you have joined<S>2266</S> yourself with Ahaziah<S>274</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> has destroyed<S>6555</S> your works<S>4639</S>." The ships<S>591</S> were broken<S>6555</S>, so that they were not able<S>6113</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Jehoram<S>3088</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
He had brothers<S>251</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>: Azariah<S>5838</S>, and Jehiel<S>3171</S>, and Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S>, and Michael<S>4317</S>, and Shephatiah<S>8203</S>; all these were the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Their father<S>1</S> gave<S>5414</S> them great<S>7227</S> gifts<S>4979</S>, of silver<S>3701</S>, and of gold<S>2091</S>, and of precious things<S>4030</S>, with fortified<S>4694</S> cities<S>5892</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>: but the kingdom<S>4467</S> gave<S>5414</S> he to Jehoram<S>3088</S>, because he was the firstborn<S>1060</S>.


text:
Now when Jehoram<S>3088</S> was risen up<S>6965</S> over the kingdom<S>4467</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and had strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>2026</S>, he killed all his brothers<S>251</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>, and various also of the princes<S>8269</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Jehoram<S>3088</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as did<S>6213</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>; for he had the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> as wife<S>802</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
However Yahweh<S>3068</S> would<S>14</S> not destroy<S>7843</S> the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, because of the covenant<S>1285</S> that he had made<S>3772</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and as he promised<S>559</S> to give<S>5414</S> a lamp<S>5216</S> to him and to his children<S>1121</S> always<S>3117</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made<S>4427</S> a king over themselves<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then Jehoram<S>3088</S> passed over<S>5674</S> with his captains<S>8269</S>, and all his chariots<S>7393</S> with him<S>6965</S>: and he rose up by night<S>3915</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Edomites<S>123</S> who surrounded him<S>5437</S>, along with the captains<S>8269</S> of the chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
So Edom<S>123</S> revolted<S>6586</S> from under the hand<S>3027</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to this day<S>3117</S>: then Libnah<S>3841</S> revolted<S>6586</S> at the same time<S>6256</S> from under his hand<S>3027</S>, because he had forsaken<S>5800</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Moreover he made<S>6213</S> high places<S>1116</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to play the prostitute<S>2181</S>, and led<S>5080</S> Judah astray<S>3063</S>.


text:
A letter<S>4385</S> came<S>935</S> to him from Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, <S>1980</S> 'Because you have not walked in the ways<S>1870</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> your father<S>1</S>, nor in the ways<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>,


text:
but have walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and have made Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to play the prostitute<S>2181</S>, like<S>2181</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> did<S>2026</S>, and also have slain your brothers<S>251</S> of your father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, who were better than yourself<S>2896</S>:


text:
behold<S>3068</S>, Yahweh will strike<S>5062</S> with a great<S>1419</S> plague<S>4046</S> your people<S>5971</S>, and your children<S>1121</S>, and your wives<S>802</S>, and all your substance<S>7399</S>;


text:
and you shall have great<S>7227</S> sickness<S>2483</S> by disease<S>4245</S> of your bowels<S>4578</S>, until your bowels<S>4578</S> fall out<S>3318</S> by reason of the sickness<S>2483</S>, day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>.'"


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> stirred up<S>5782</S> against Jehoram<S>3088</S> the spirit<S>7307</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and of the Arabians<S>6163</S> who are beside<S>5921</S> the Ethiopians<S>3569</S>:


text:
and they came up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and broke<S>1234</S> into it<S>7617</S>, and carried away all the substance<S>7399</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and his sons<S>1121</S> also<S>802</S>, and his wives; so that there was never a son<S>1121</S> left<S>7604</S> him<S>3059</S>, except Jehoahaz, the youngest<S>6996</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> all this Yahweh<S>3068</S> struck<S>5062</S> him in his bowels<S>4578</S> with an incurable<S>369</S> disease<S>2483</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3117</S>, in process of time, at<S>3318</S> the end<S>7093</S> of two<S>8147</S> years<S>3117</S>, that his bowels<S>4578</S> fell out<S>3318</S> by reason<S>5973</S> of his sickness<S>2483</S>, and he died<S>4191</S> of severe<S>7451</S> diseases<S>8463</S>. His people<S>5971</S> made<S>6213</S> no burning<S>8316</S> for him<S>8316</S>, like the burning of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> years old<S>1121</S> was he when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>: and he departed<S>3212</S> without being desired<S>2532</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but not in the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place; for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.


text:
Forty<S>705</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Ahaziah<S>274</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Athaliah<S>6271</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Omri<S>6018</S>.


text:
He also walked<S>1980</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>; for his mother<S>517</S> was his counselor<S>3289</S> to do wickedly<S>7561</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as did the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>; for they were his counselors<S>3289</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of his father<S>1</S>, to his destruction<S>4889</S>.


text:
He walked<S>1980</S> also after their counsel<S>6098</S>, and went<S>3212</S> with Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to war<S>4421</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> at Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>: and the Syrians<S>7421</S> wounded<S>5221</S> Joram<S>3141</S>.


text:
He returned<S>7725</S> to be healed<S>7495</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S> of the wounds<S>4347</S> which they had given<S>5221</S> him at Ramah<S>7414</S>, when he fought<S>3898</S> against Hazael<S>2371</S> king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>. Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoram<S>3088</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to see<S>7200</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, because he was sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
Now the destruction<S>8395</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> was of God<S>430</S>, in that he went<S>935</S> to Joram<S>3141</S>: for when he had come<S>935</S>, he went out<S>3318</S> with Jehoram<S>3088</S> against Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S>, whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> had anointed<S>4886</S> to cut off<S>3772</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3058</S>, when Jehu was executing judgment<S>8199</S> on the house<S>1004</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, that he found<S>4672</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the sons<S>1121</S> of the brothers<S>251</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, ministering<S>8334</S> to Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and killed them<S>2026</S>.


text:
He sought<S>1245</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and they caught<S>3920</S> him<S>2244</S> (now he was hiding in Samaria<S>8111</S>), and they brought<S>935</S> him to Jehu<S>3058</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>6912</S>; and they buried him<S>559</S>, for they said, "He is the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, who sought<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> with all his heart<S>3824</S>." The house<S>1004</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> had no power<S>3581</S> to hold<S>6113</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
Now when Athaliah<S>6271</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S> saw<S>7200</S> that her son<S>1121</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, she arose<S>6965</S> and destroyed<S>1696</S> all the royal<S>4467</S> seed<S>2233</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
But Jehoshabeath<S>3090</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, took<S>3947</S> Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>, and stole<S>1589</S> him away from among<S>8432</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> who were slain<S>4191</S>, and put<S>5414</S> him and his nurse<S>3243</S> in the bedroom<S>2315</S>. So Jehoshabeath<S>3090</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jehoram<S>3088</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> (for she was the sister<S>269</S> of Ahaziah<S>274</S>), hid<S>5641</S> him from<S>6440</S> Athaliah<S>6271</S>, so that she didn<S>4191</S>'t kill him.


text:
He was with them hidden<S>2244</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>: and Athaliah<S>6271</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over the land<S>776</S>.


text:
In the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> Jehoiada<S>3077</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> himself<S>3947</S>, and took the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroham<S>3395</S>, and Ishmael<S>3458</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehohanan<S>3076</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Obed<S>5744</S>, and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Adaiah<S>5718</S>, and Elishaphat<S>478</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zichri<S>2147</S>, into covenant with him<S>1285</S>.


text:
They went about<S>5437</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> out of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and the heads<S>7218</S> of fathers<S>1</S>' households of Israel<S>3478</S>, and they came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
All the assembly<S>6951</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with the king<S>4428</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>. He said<S>559</S> to them<S>4428</S>, "Behold, the king's son<S>1121</S> shall reign<S>4427</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> concerning the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
This is the thing<S>1697</S> that you shall do<S>6213</S>. A third part<S>7992</S> of you<S>935</S>, who come in on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>, of the priests<S>3548</S> and of the Levites<S>3881</S>, shall be porters<S>7778</S> of the thresholds<S>5592</S>.


text:
A third part<S>7992</S> shall be at the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and a third part<S>7992</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of the foundation<S>3247</S>. All the people<S>5971</S> shall be in the courts<S>2691</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But let no one come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, except the priests<S>3548</S>, and those who minister<S>8334</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>. They shall come in<S>935</S>, for they are holy<S>6944</S>, but all the people<S>5971</S> shall follow<S>8104</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s instructions<S>4931</S>.


text:
The Levites<S>3881</S> shall surround<S>5362</S> the<S>5439</S> king<S>4428</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapons<S>3627</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>. Whoever comes<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, let him be slain<S>4191</S>. Be with the king<S>4428</S> when he comes in<S>935</S>, and when he goes out<S>3318</S>."


text:
So the Levites<S>3881</S> and all Judah<S>3063</S> did<S>6213</S> according to all that Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> commanded<S>6680</S>: and they took<S>3947</S> every man<S>376</S> his men<S>376</S>, those who were to come in<S>935</S> on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>; with those who were to go<S>3318</S> out on the Sabbath<S>7676</S>; for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> didn<S>6358</S>'t dismiss the shift<S>4256</S>.

Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> delivered<S>5414</S> to the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> the spears<S>2595</S>, and bucklers<S>4043</S>, and shields<S>7982</S>, that had been king<S>4428</S> David<S>1732</S>'s, which were in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
He set<S>5975</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his weapon<S>7973</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, from the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S> to the left<S>8042</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, along by the altar<S>4196</S> and the house<S>1004</S>, around<S>5439</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then they brought out<S>3318</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, and put<S>5414</S> the crown<S>5145</S> on him<S>5715</S>, and gave him the testimony, and made him king<S>4427</S>: and Jehoiada<S>3077</S> and his sons<S>1121</S> anointed<S>4886</S> him<S>559</S>; and they said, "Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>!"


text:
When Athaliah<S>6271</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> running<S>7323</S> and praising<S>1984</S> the king<S>4428</S>, she came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>:


text:
and she looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>4428</S>, behold, the king stood<S>5975</S> by his pillar<S>5982</S> at the entrance<S>3996</S>, and the captains<S>8269</S> and the trumpets<S>2689</S> by the king<S>4428</S>; and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8056</S>, and blew<S>8628</S> trumpets<S>2689</S>; the singers<S>7891</S> also played musical<S>7892</S> instruments<S>3627</S>, and led<S>3045</S> the singing of praise<S>1984</S>. Then Athaliah<S>6271</S> tore<S>7167</S> her clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Treason<S>7195</S>! treason<S>7195</S>!"


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S> brought out<S>3318</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S> who were set over<S>6485</S> the army<S>2428</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3318</S>, "Bring her out between the ranks<S>1004</S>; and whoever follows<S>935</S> her<S>4191</S>, let him be slain with the sword<S>2719</S>." For the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, "Don<S>4191</S>'t kill her in the Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s house<S>1004</S>."


text:
So they made<S>7760</S> way<S>3027</S> for her<S>935</S>. She went to the entrance<S>3996</S> of the horse<S>5483</S> gate<S>8179</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and they killed her there<S>4191</S>.


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> between himself<S>5971</S>, and all the people, and the king<S>4428</S>, that they should be Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S>.


text:
All the people<S>5971</S> went<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and broke it down<S>5422</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> his altars<S>4196</S> and his images<S>6754</S> in pieces<S>7665</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> Mattan<S>4977</S> the priest<S>3548</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> before<S>6440</S> the altars<S>4196</S>.


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> appointed<S>7760</S> the officers<S>6486</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S>, whom David<S>1732</S> had distributed<S>2505</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to offer<S>5927</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, with rejoicing<S>8057</S> and with singing<S>7892</S>, according to the order<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
He set<S>5975</S> the porters<S>7778</S> at the gates<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that no one who was unclean<S>2931</S> in<S>935</S> anything<S>1697</S> should enter in<S>935</S>.


text:
He took<S>3947</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>, and the nobles<S>117</S>, and the governors<S>4910</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and brought down<S>3381</S> the king<S>4428</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and they came<S>935</S> through<S>8432</S> the upper<S>5945</S> gate<S>8179</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and set<S>3427</S> the king<S>4428</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of the kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
So all the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> was quiet<S>8252</S>. Athaliah<S>6271</S> they had slain<S>4191</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Joash<S>3101</S> was seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Zibiah<S>6645</S>, of Beersheba<S>884</S>.


text:
Joash<S>3101</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
Jehoiada<S>3077</S> took<S>5375</S> for him two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>; and he became the father<S>3205</S> of sons<S>1121</S> and daughters<S>1323</S>.


text:
It happened after<S>310</S> this<S>3101</S>, that Joash intended<S>3820</S> to restore<S>2318</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He gathered together<S>6908</S> the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3318</S>, "Go out to the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and gather<S>6908</S> money<S>3701</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of your God<S>430</S> from<S>1767</S> all Israel from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S>. See that you expedite<S>4116</S> this matter<S>1697</S>." However the Levites<S>3881</S> didn<S>4116</S>'t do it right away.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> called<S>7121</S> for Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the chief<S>7218</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>1875</S>, "Why haven't you required of the Levites<S>3881</S> to bring in<S>935</S> the tax<S>4864</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and of the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, out of Judah<S>3063</S> and out of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, for the tent<S>168</S> of the testimony<S>5715</S>?"


text:
For the sons<S>1121</S> of Athaliah<S>6271</S>, that wicked<S>4849</S> woman<S>6555</S>, had broken up the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>; and they also gave<S>6213</S> all the dedicated things<S>6944</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> to the Baals<S>1168</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>559</S>, and they made<S>6213</S> a<S>259</S> chest<S>727</S>, and set<S>5414</S> it outside<S>2351</S> at the gate<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
They made<S>5414</S> a proclamation<S>6963</S> through Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to bring in<S>935</S> for Yahweh<S>3068</S> the tax<S>4864</S> that Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of God<S>430</S> laid on Israel<S>3478</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
All the princes<S>8269</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and brought in<S>935</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> into the chest<S>727</S>, until they had made an end<S>3615</S>.


text:
It was so<S>6256</S>, that whenever the chest<S>727</S> was brought<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s officers<S>6486</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, and when they saw<S>7200</S> that there was much<S>7227</S> money<S>3701</S>, the king<S>4428</S>'s scribe<S>5608</S> and the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>'s officer<S>6496</S> came<S>935</S> and emptied<S>6168</S> the chest<S>727</S>, and took<S>5375</S> it<S>5375</S>, and carried it to its place<S>4725</S> again<S>7725</S>. Thus they did<S>6213</S> day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>, and gathered<S>622</S> money<S>3701</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> and Jehoiada<S>3077</S> gave<S>5414</S> it to such as did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> of the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and they hired<S>7936</S> masons<S>2672</S> and carpenters<S>2796</S> to restore<S>2318</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and also such as worked<S>2796</S> iron<S>1270</S> and brass<S>5178</S> to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
So the workmen<S>4399</S> worked<S>6213</S>, and the work<S>4399</S> of repairing<S>5927</S> went forward<S>724</S> in their hands<S>3027</S>, and they set<S>5975</S> up the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> in its state<S>4971</S>, and strengthened it<S>553</S>.


text:
When they had made<S>3615</S> an end<S>935</S>, they brought the rest<S>7605</S> of the money<S>3701</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, of which were made<S>6213</S> vessels<S>3627</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, even vessels<S>3627</S> with which to minister<S>8335</S> and to offer<S>5927</S>, and spoons<S>3709</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S>. They offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> continually<S>8548</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>.


text:
But Jehoiada<S>3077</S> grew old<S>2204</S> and was full<S>7646</S> of days<S>3117</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>; one hundred<S>3967</S> thirty<S>7970</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was he when he died<S>4194</S>.


text:
They buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> among the kings<S>4428</S>, because he had done<S>6213</S> good<S>2896</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, and toward God<S>430</S> and his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Now after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> came<S>935</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and made obeisance<S>7812</S> to the king<S>4428</S>. Then the king<S>4428</S> listened to them<S>8085</S>.


text:
They forsook<S>5800</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the Asherim<S>842</S> and the idols<S>6091</S>: and wrath<S>7110</S> came on Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> for this their guiltiness<S>819</S>.


text:
Yet he sent<S>7971</S> prophets<S>5030</S> to them<S>7725</S>, to bring them again to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and they testified<S>5749</S> against them<S>238</S>: but they would not give ear.


text:
The Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>3847</S> on Zechariah<S>2148</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>; and he stood<S>5975</S> above the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Thus says God<S>430</S>, <S>5674</S> 'Why do you disobey the commandments<S>4687</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, so that you can<S>6743</S>'t prosper? Because you have forsaken<S>5800</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he has also forsaken you<S>5800</S>.'"


text:
They conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>7275</S>, and stoned him with stones<S>68</S> at the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> in the court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Thus Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S> didn<S>2142</S>'t remember the kindness<S>2617</S> which Jehoiada<S>3077</S> his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S> to him<S>2026</S>, but killed his son<S>1121</S>. When he died<S>4194</S>, he said<S>559</S>, "May Yahweh<S>3068</S> look<S>7200</S> at it<S>1875</S>, and repay it."


text:
It happened at the end<S>8622</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that the army<S>2428</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> came up<S>5927</S> against him<S>935</S>: and they came to Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and destroyed<S>7843</S> all the princes<S>8269</S> of the people<S>5971</S> from among the people<S>5971</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> all their spoil<S>7998</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>.


text:
For the army<S>2428</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> came<S>935</S> with a small<S>4705</S> company of men<S>582</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> a very<S>3966</S> great<S>7230</S> army<S>2428</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>, because they had forsaken<S>5800</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>. So they executed<S>6213</S> judgment<S>8201</S> on Joash<S>3101</S>.


text:
When they were departed<S>3212</S> for him<S>5800</S> (for they left him very<S>7227</S> sick<S>4251</S>), his own servants<S>5650</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him for the blood<S>1818</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> him on his bed<S>4296</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, but they didn<S>6912</S>'t bury him in the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
These are those who conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>2066</S>: Zabad the son<S>1121</S> of Shimeath<S>8100</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>, and Jehozabad<S>3075</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shimrith<S>8116</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>.


text:
Now concerning his sons<S>1121</S>, and the greatness<S>7235</S> of the burdens<S>4853</S> laid on him<S>3247</S>, and the rebuilding of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the commentary<S>4097</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S>. Amaziah<S>558</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Amaziah<S>558</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> - nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jehoaddan<S>3086</S>, of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but not with a perfect<S>8003</S> heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Now it happened<S>4467</S>, when the kingdom was established<S>2388</S> to him<S>2026</S>, that he killed his servants<S>5650</S> who had killed<S>2026</S> the king<S>4428</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
But he didn<S>1121</S>'t put their children to death<S>4191</S>, but did according to that which is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The fathers<S>1</S> shall not die<S>4191</S> for the children<S>1121</S>, neither shall the children<S>1121</S> die<S>4191</S> for the fathers<S>1</S>; but every man<S>376</S> shall die<S>4191</S> for his own sin<S>2399</S>."

Moreover Amaziah<S>558</S> gathered<S>6908</S> Judah<S>3063</S> together<S>6908</S>, and ordered<S>5975</S> them according to their fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>1004</S>, under captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>, even all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and he numbered<S>6485</S> them from twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and upward<S>4605</S>, and found<S>4672</S> them three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>3318</S>, able to go forth to war<S>6635</S>, who could handle<S>270</S> spear<S>7420</S> and shield<S>6793</S>.


text:
He hired<S>7936</S> also one hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> mighty<S>1368</S> men of valor<S>2428</S> out of Israel<S>3478</S> for one hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
A man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "O king<S>4428</S>, don<S>6635</S>'t let the army of Israel<S>3478</S> go<S>935</S> with you<S>3068</S>; for Yahweh is not with Israel<S>3478</S>, with all the children<S>1121</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
But if you will go<S>935</S>, take<S>6213</S> action<S>2388</S>, be strong for the battle<S>4421</S>. God<S>430</S> will overthrow<S>3782</S> you before<S>6440</S> the enemy<S>341</S>; for God<S>430</S> has<S>3426</S> power<S>3581</S> to help<S>5826</S>, and to overthrow<S>3782</S>."


text:
Amaziah<S>558</S> said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, "But what shall we do<S>6213</S> for the hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> to the army<S>1416</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?" The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> answered<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> is<S>3426</S> able to give<S>5414</S> you much more than this<S>7235</S>."


text:
Then Amaziah<S>558</S> separated<S>914</S> them<S>1416</S>, the army that had come<S>935</S> to him out of Ephraim<S>669</S>, to go<S>935</S> home<S>4725</S> again<S>3212</S>: therefore their anger<S>639</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> kindled<S>2734</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and they returned<S>7725</S> home<S>4725</S> in fierce<S>2750</S> anger<S>639</S>.


text:
Amaziah<S>558</S> took courage<S>2388</S>, and led forth<S>5090</S> his people<S>5971</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to the Valley<S>1516</S> of Salt<S>4417</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Seir<S>8165</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> carry<S>7617</S> away ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> alive<S>2416</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to the top<S>7218</S> of the rock<S>5553</S>, and threw them down<S>7993</S> from the top<S>7218</S> of the rock<S>5553</S>, so that they all were broken in pieces<S>1234</S>.


text:
But the men<S>1121</S> of the army<S>1416</S> whom Amaziah<S>558</S> sent back<S>7725</S>, that they should not go<S>3212</S> with him to battle<S>4421</S>, fell<S>6584</S> on the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, from Samaria<S>8111</S> even to Beth Horon<S>1032</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> of them three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and took<S>962</S> much<S>7227</S> spoil<S>961</S>.


text:
Now it happened<S>310</S>, after that Amaziah<S>558</S> had come<S>935</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Edomites<S>130</S>, that he brought<S>935</S> the gods<S>430</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Seir<S>8165</S>, and set them up<S>5975</S> to be his gods<S>430</S>, and bowed down<S>7812</S> himself before<S>6440</S> them<S>6999</S>, and burned incense to them.


text:
Therefore the anger<S>639</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Amaziah<S>558</S>, and he sent<S>7971</S> to him a prophet<S>5030</S>, who said<S>559</S> to him<S>1875</S>, "Why have you sought after the gods<S>430</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, which have not delivered<S>5337</S> their own people<S>5971</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>?"


text:
It happened<S>1696</S>, as he talked with him<S>559</S>, that the king said to him<S>5414</S>, "Have we made you one of the king<S>4428</S>'s counselors<S>3289</S>? Stop<S>2308</S>! Why should you be struck<S>5221</S> down<S>5030</S>?" Then the prophet stopped<S>2308</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "I know<S>3045</S> that God<S>430</S> has determined<S>3289</S> to destroy<S>7843</S> you<S>6213</S>, because you have done this<S>8085</S>, and have not listened to my counsel<S>6098</S>."


text:
Then Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> consulted<S>3289</S> his advisers<S>7971</S>, and sent to Joash<S>3101</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, let us look one another<S>7200</S> in the face<S>6440</S>."


text:
Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The thistle<S>2336</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the cedar<S>730</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>5414</S> 'Give your daughter<S>1323</S> to my son<S>1121</S> as his wife<S>802</S>; then a wild<S>7704</S> animal<S>2416</S> that was in Lebanon<S>3844</S> passed by<S>5674</S>, and trampled down<S>7429</S> the thistle<S>2336</S>.


text:
You say<S>559</S> to yourself that you have struck<S>5221</S> Edom<S>123</S>; and your heart<S>3820</S> lifts you up<S>5375</S> to boast<S>3513</S>. Now stay<S>3427</S> at home<S>1004</S>. Why should you meddle<S>1624</S> with trouble<S>7451</S>, that you should fall<S>5307</S>, even you<S>3063</S>, and Judah with you?'"


text:
But Amaziah<S>558</S> would not listen<S>8085</S>; for it was of God<S>430</S>, that he might deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>1875</S>, because they had sought after the gods<S>430</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
So Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S>; and he and Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> looked one another<S>7200</S> in the face<S>6440</S> at Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Judah<S>3063</S> was defeated<S>5062</S> by<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> took<S>8610</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S>, at Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and broke down<S>6555</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the gate<S>8179</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> to the corner<S>6437</S> gate<S>8179</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
He took all the gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> with Obed-Edom<S>5654</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, the hostages<S>1121</S> also<S>7725</S>, and returned to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Amaziah<S>558</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> lived<S>2421</S> after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> fifteen<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Amaziah<S>558</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, aren't they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Now from the time<S>6256</S> that Amaziah<S>558</S> turned away<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, they made<S>7194</S> a conspiracy<S>7195</S> against him in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. He fled<S>5127</S> to Lachish<S>3923</S>; but they sent<S>7971</S> after<S>310</S> him to Lachish<S>3923</S>, and killed him there<S>4191</S>.


text:
They brought<S>5375</S> him on horses<S>5483</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
All the people<S>5971</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3947</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S>, who was sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> in the place of his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> Eloth<S>359</S>, and restored<S>7725</S> it to Judah<S>3063</S>, after<S>310</S> that the king<S>4428</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> was Uzziah<S>5818</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jechiliah<S>3203</S>, of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> Amaziah<S>558</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
He set himself to seek<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>, who had understanding<S>995</S> in the vision<S>7200</S> of God<S>430</S>: and as<S>3117</S> long as he sought<S>1875</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, God<S>430</S> made him to prosper<S>6743</S>.


text:
He went forth<S>3318</S> and warred<S>3898</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and broke down<S>6555</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jabneh<S>2996</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the country of Ashdod<S>795</S>, and among the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> helped<S>5826</S> him against the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and against the Arabians<S>6163</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in Gur Baal<S>1485</S>, and the Meunim<S>4586</S>.


text:
The Ammonites<S>5984</S> gave<S>5414</S> tribute<S>4503</S> to Uzziah<S>5818</S>: and his name<S>8034</S> spread abroad<S>3212</S> even to the entrance<S>935</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>; for he grew exceeding<S>4605</S> strong<S>2388</S>.


text:
Moreover Uzziah<S>5818</S> built<S>1129</S> towers<S>4026</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> at the corner<S>6438</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and at the valley<S>1516</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and at the turning<S>4740</S> of the wall<S>2388</S>, and fortified them.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> towers<S>4026</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and dug<S>2672</S> out many<S>7227</S> cisterns<S>953</S>, for he had much<S>7227</S> livestock<S>4735</S>; in the lowland<S>8219</S> also<S>4334</S>, and in the plain: and he had farmers<S>406</S> and vineyard keepers<S>3755</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S> and in the fruitful fields<S>3760</S>; for he loved<S>157</S> farming<S>127</S>.


text:
Moreover Uzziah<S>5818</S> had an army<S>2428</S> of fighting<S>4421</S> men<S>6213</S>, who went out<S>3318</S> to war<S>6635</S> by bands<S>1416</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of their reckoning<S>6486</S> made by<S>3027</S> Jeiel<S>3273</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the officer<S>7860</S>, under the hand<S>3027</S> of Hananiah<S>2608</S>, one of the king<S>4428</S>'s captains<S>8269</S>.


text:
The whole number<S>4557</S> of the heads<S>7218</S> of fathers<S>1</S>' households<S>1368</S>, even the mighty men of valor<S>2428</S>, was two thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>.


text:
Under their hand<S>3027</S> was an army<S>2428</S>, three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> and five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, who made<S>6213</S> war<S>4421</S> with mighty<S>2428</S> power<S>3581</S>, to help<S>5826</S> the king<S>4428</S> against the enemy<S>341</S>.


text:
Uzziah<S>5818</S> prepared<S>3559</S> for them<S>6635</S>, even for all the army, shields<S>4043</S>, and spears<S>7420</S>, and helmets<S>3553</S>, and coats of mail<S>8302</S>, and bows<S>7198</S>, and stones<S>68</S> for slinging<S>7050</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> engines<S>2810</S>, invented<S>4284</S> by skillful men<S>2803</S>, to be on the towers<S>4026</S> and on the battlements<S>6438</S>, with which to shoot<S>3384</S> arrows<S>2671</S> and great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S>. His name<S>8034</S> spread<S>3318</S> far abroad<S>7350</S>; for he was marvelously<S>6381</S> helped<S>5826</S>, until<S>3588</S> he was strong<S>2388</S>.


text:
But when he was strong<S>2393</S>, his heart<S>3820</S> was lifted up<S>1361</S>, so that he did corruptly<S>7843</S>, and he trespassed<S>4603</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>; for he went<S>935</S> into the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S> on the altar<S>4196</S> of incense<S>6999</S>.


text:
Azariah<S>5838</S> the priest<S>3548</S> went in<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>8084</S>, and with him eighty priests<S>3548</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, who were valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>:


text:
and they resisted<S>5975</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>5818</S>, "It isn't for you, Uzziah, to burn incense<S>6999</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but for the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, who are consecrated<S>6942</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S>. Go out<S>3318</S> of the sanctuary<S>4720</S>; for you have trespassed<S>4603</S>; neither shall it be for your honor<S>3519</S> from Yahweh<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>."


text:
Then Uzziah<S>5818</S> was angry<S>2196</S>; and he had a censer<S>4730</S> in his hand<S>3027</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S>; and while he was angry<S>2196</S> with the priests<S>3548</S>, the leprosy<S>6883</S> broke forth<S>2224</S> in his forehead<S>4696</S> before<S>6440</S> the priests<S>3548</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, beside the altar<S>4196</S> of incense<S>7004</S>.


text:
Azariah<S>5838</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and all the priests<S>3548</S>, looked<S>6437</S> on him<S>6879</S>, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead<S>4696</S>, and they thrust him out<S>926</S> quickly from there<S>1765</S>; yes, himself hurried also to go out<S>3318</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> had struck him<S>5060</S>.


text:
Uzziah<S>5818</S> the king<S>4428</S> was a leper<S>6879</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>, and lived in<S>3427</S> a separate<S>2669</S> house<S>1004</S>, being a leper<S>6879</S>; for he was cut off<S>1504</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and Jotham<S>3147</S> his son<S>1121</S> was over the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, judging<S>8199</S> the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Uzziah<S>5818</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, wrote<S>3789</S>.

So Uzziah<S>5818</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him with his fathers<S>1</S> in the field<S>7704</S> of burial<S>6900</S> which belonged to the kings<S>4428</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, "He is a leper<S>6879</S>." Jotham<S>3147</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Jotham<S>3147</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Jerushah<S>3388</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> Uzziah<S>5818</S> had done<S>6213</S>: however he didn<S>6213</S>'t enter into the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. The people<S>5971</S> still did corruptly<S>7843</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> the upper<S>5945</S> gate<S>8179</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and on the wall<S>2346</S> of Ophel<S>6077</S> he built<S>1129</S> much<S>7230</S>.


text:
Moreover he built<S>1129</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the hill country<S>2022</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in the forests<S>2793</S> he built<S>1129</S> castles<S>1003</S> and towers<S>1003</S>.


text:
He fought<S>3898</S> also with the king<S>4428</S> of the children of Ammon<S>5984</S>, and prevailed<S>2388</S> against them<S>1121</S>. The children of Ammon<S>5983</S> gave<S>5414</S> him the same year<S>8141</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of wheat<S>2406</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> of barley<S>8184</S>. The children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> gave<S>7725</S> that much to<S>2063</S> him in the second<S>8145</S> year<S>8141</S> also<S>7992</S>, and in the third.


text:
So Jotham<S>3147</S> became mighty<S>2388</S>, because he ordered<S>3559</S> his ways<S>1870</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S>, and all his wars<S>4421</S>, and his ways<S>1870</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He was five<S>2568</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Jotham<S>3147</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Ahaz<S>271</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Ahaz<S>271</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> sixteen<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he didn<S>6213</S>'t do that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, like David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>;


text:
but he walked in<S>3212</S> the ways<S>1870</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and made<S>6213</S> also molten images<S>4541</S> for the Baals<S>1168</S>.


text:
Moreover he burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of the son<S>1121</S> of Hinnom<S>2011</S>, and burnt<S>1197</S> his children<S>1121</S> in the fire<S>784</S>, according to the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>, and on the hills<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> him into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>; and they struck<S>5221</S> him<S>7617</S>, and carried away of his a great multitude<S>1419</S> of captives<S>7633</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to Damascus<S>1834</S>. He was also delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who struck<S>5221</S> him with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
For Pekah<S>6492</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Remaliah<S>7425</S> killed<S>2026</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>, all of them valiant<S>2428</S> men<S>1121</S>; because they had forsaken<S>5800</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Zichri<S>2147</S>, a mighty man<S>1368</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, killed<S>2026</S> Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, and Azrikam<S>5840</S> the ruler<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and Elkanah<S>511</S> who was next<S>4932</S> to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> carried away captive<S>7617</S> of their brothers<S>251</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>, women<S>802</S>, sons<S>1121</S>, and daughters<S>1323</S>, and took also away<S>962</S> much<S>7227</S> spoil<S>7998</S> from them<S>935</S>, and brought the spoil<S>7998</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
But a prophet<S>5030</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was there<S>8034</S>, whose name was Oded<S>5752</S>: and he went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>6440</S> the army<S>6635</S> that came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3068</S>, "Behold, because Yahweh, the God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>, was angry<S>2534</S> with Judah<S>3063</S>, he has delivered<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>, and you have slain<S>2026</S> them in a rage<S>2197</S> which has reached up<S>5060</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
Now you purpose<S>559</S> to keep under<S>3533</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> for bondservants<S>5650</S> and bondmaids<S>8198</S> for yourselves<S>7535</S>. Aren't there even with you trespasses<S>819</S> of your own against Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>?


text:
Now hear<S>8085</S> me therefore<S>7725</S>, and send back the captives<S>7633</S>, that you have taken captive<S>7617</S> from your brothers<S>251</S>; for the fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> of Yahweh is on you<S>3068</S>."


text:
Then some<S>582</S> of the heads<S>7218</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Johanan<S>3076</S>, Berechiah<S>1296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Meshillemoth<S>4919</S>, and Jehizkiah<S>3169</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S>, and Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hadlai<S>2311</S>, stood up<S>6965</S> against those who came<S>935</S> from the war<S>6635</S>,


text:
and said<S>559</S> to them<S>935</S>, "You shall not bring in the captives<S>7633</S> here<S>559</S>: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass<S>819</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to add<S>3254</S> to our sins<S>2403</S> and to our trespass<S>819</S>; for our trespass<S>819</S> is great<S>7227</S>, and there is fierce<S>7227</S> wrath<S>639</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
So the armed men<S>2502</S> left<S>5800</S> the captives<S>7633</S> and the spoil<S>961</S> before<S>6440</S> the princes<S>8269</S> and all the assembly<S>6951</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> who have been mentioned<S>5344</S> by name<S>8034</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and took<S>2388</S> the captives<S>7633</S>, and with the spoil<S>7998</S> clothed<S>3847</S> all who were naked<S>4636</S> among them<S>3847</S>, dressed them<S>5274</S>, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8248</S>, anointed<S>5480</S> them<S>5095</S>, carried all the feeble<S>3782</S> of them on donkeys<S>2543</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to Jericho<S>3405</S>, the city<S>5892</S> of palm trees<S>8558</S>, to<S>681</S> their brothers<S>251</S>. Then they returned<S>7725</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> to help him<S>5826</S>.


text:
For again the Edomites<S>130</S> had come<S>935</S> and struck<S>5221</S> Judah<S>3063</S>, and carried away<S>7617</S> captives<S>7628</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> also had invaded<S>6584</S> the cities<S>5892</S> of the lowland<S>8219</S>, and of the South<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and had taken<S>3920</S> Beth Shemesh<S>1053</S>, and Aijalon<S>357</S>, and Gederoth<S>1450</S>, and Soco<S>7755</S> with its towns<S>1323</S>, and Timnah<S>8553</S> with its towns<S>1323</S>, Gimzo<S>1579</S> also and its towns<S>1323</S>: and they lived there<S>3427</S>.


text:
For Yahweh<S>3068</S> brought<S>3665</S> Judah<S>3063</S> low<S>3665</S> because of Ahaz<S>271</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for he had dealt<S>6544</S> wantonly<S>6544</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and trespassed<S>4603</S> severely<S>4604</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Tilgath Pilneser<S>8407</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>6696</S>, and distressed him<S>2388</S>, but didn't strengthen him.


text:
For Ahaz<S>271</S> took away a portion<S>2505</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and out of the house<S>1004</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and of the princes<S>8269</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it to the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>: but it didn<S>5833</S>'t help him.


text:
In the time<S>6256</S> of his distress<S>6887</S>, he trespassed<S>4603</S> yet more<S>3254</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, this same king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S>.


text:
For he sacrificed<S>2076</S> to the gods<S>430</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>, which struck<S>5221</S> him<S>559</S>; and he said, "Because the gods<S>430</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> helped<S>5826</S> them<S>2076</S>, so I will sacrifice to them<S>5826</S>, that they may help me<S>3782</S>." But they were the ruin of him<S>3478</S>, and of all Israel.


text:
Ahaz<S>271</S> gathered together<S>622</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and cut in pieces<S>7112</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and shut up<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and he made<S>6213</S> him altars<S>4196</S> in every corner<S>6438</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
In every city<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> he made<S>6213</S> high places<S>1116</S> to burn incense<S>6999</S> to other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and provoked to anger<S>3707</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of his acts<S>1697</S>, and all his ways<S>1870</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Ahaz<S>271</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S>, even in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; for they didn<S>935</S>'t bring him into the tombs<S>6913</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and Hezekiah<S>3169</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> when he was twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> - nine<S>8672</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Abijah<S>29</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Zechariah<S>2148</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to all that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
He in the first<S>7223</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, in the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>, opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and repaired them<S>2388</S>.


text:
He brought in<S>935</S> the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and gathered them together<S>622</S> into the broad<S>7339</S> place on the east<S>4217</S>,


text:
and said<S>559</S> to them<S>8085</S>, "Listen to me<S>3881</S>, you Levites! Now sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>6942</S>, and sanctify the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>, and carry out<S>3318</S> the filthiness<S>5079</S> out of the holy place<S>6944</S>.


text:
For our fathers<S>1</S> have trespassed<S>4603</S>, and done<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, and have forsaken<S>5800</S> him<S>5437</S>, and have turned away their faces<S>6440</S> from the habitation<S>4908</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and turned<S>5414</S> their backs<S>6203</S>.


text:
Also they have shut up<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the porch<S>197</S>, and put out<S>3518</S> the lamps<S>5216</S>, and have not burned<S>6999</S> incense<S>7004</S> nor offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> in the holy<S>6944</S> place to the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Therefore the wrath<S>7110</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was on Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and he has delivered<S>5414</S> them to be tossed<S>2189</S> back and forth<S>8047</S>, to be an astonishment, and a hissing<S>8322</S>, as you see<S>7200</S> with your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
For<S>1</S>, behold, our fathers have fallen<S>5307</S> by the sword<S>2719</S>, and our sons<S>1121</S> and our daughters<S>1323</S> and our wives<S>802</S> are in captivity for this<S>7628</S>.


text:
Now it is in my heart<S>3824</S> to make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that his fierce<S>2740</S> anger<S>639</S> may turn away from us<S>7725</S>.


text:
My sons<S>1121</S>, don<S>7952</S>'t be negligent now<S>3068</S>; for Yahweh has chosen<S>977</S> you to stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>8334</S>, to minister to him<S>8334</S>, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense<S>6999</S>."


text:
Then the Levites<S>3881</S> arose<S>6965</S>, Mahath<S>4287</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Amasai<S>6022</S>, and Joel<S>3100</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of the Kohathites<S>6956</S>; and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Merari<S>4847</S>, Kish<S>7027</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abdi<S>5660</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehallelel<S>3094</S>; and of the Gershonites<S>1649</S>, Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zimmah<S>2155</S>, and Eden<S>5731</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joah<S>3098</S>;

and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Elizaphan<S>469</S>, Shimri<S>8113</S> and Jeuel<S>3273</S>; and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S>, Zechariah<S>2148</S> and Mattaniah<S>4983</S>;

They gathered<S>622</S> their brothers<S>251</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and went in<S>4687</S>, according to the commandment of the king<S>4428</S> by the words<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to cleanse<S>2891</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> went<S>935</S> in to the inner part<S>6441</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to cleanse<S>2891</S> it<S>3318</S>, and brought out all the uncleanness<S>2932</S> that they found<S>4672</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> into the court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. The Levites<S>3881</S> took<S>6901</S> it<S>3318</S>, to carry it out abroad<S>2351</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
Now they began<S>2490</S> on the first<S>259</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> to sanctify<S>6942</S>, and on the eighth<S>8083</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> came<S>935</S> they to the porch<S>197</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and they sanctified<S>6942</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in eight<S>8083</S> days<S>3117</S>: and on the sixteenth<S>8337</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> they made an end<S>3615</S>.


text:
Then they went<S>935</S> in<S>6441</S> to Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the king<S>4428</S> within the palace<S>559</S>, and said, "We have cleansed<S>2891</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the altar<S>4196</S> of burnt offering<S>5930</S>, with all its vessels<S>3627</S>, and the table<S>7979</S> of show bread<S>4635</S>, with all its vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
Moreover all the vessels<S>3627</S>, which king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> in his reign<S>4438</S> threw away<S>2186</S> when he trespassed<S>4604</S>, have we prepared<S>3559</S> and sanctified<S>6942</S>; and behold<S>6440</S>, they are before the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> arose early<S>7925</S>, and gathered<S>622</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
They brought<S>935</S> seven<S>7651</S> bulls<S>6499</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> lambs<S>3532</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> male goats<S>5795</S>, for a sin offering<S>2403</S> for the kingdom<S>4467</S> and for the sanctuary<S>4720</S> and for Judah<S>3063</S>. He commanded<S>559</S> the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> to offer<S>5927</S> them on the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
So they killed<S>7819</S> the bulls<S>1241</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> received<S>6901</S> the blood<S>1818</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> it on the altar<S>4196</S>: and they killed<S>7819</S> the rams<S>352</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> on the altar<S>4196</S>: they killed<S>7819</S> also the lambs<S>3532</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> on the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
They brought near<S>5066</S> the male goats<S>8163</S> for the sin offering<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the assembly<S>6951</S>; and they laid<S>5564</S> their hands on them<S>3027</S>:


text:
and the priests<S>3548</S> killed<S>7819</S> them<S>2398</S>, and they made a sin offering with their blood<S>1818</S> on the altar<S>4196</S>, to make atonement<S>3722</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>; for the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>559</S> that the burnt offering<S>5930</S> and the sin offering<S>5930</S> should be made for all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He set<S>5975</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> with cymbals<S>4700</S>, with stringed instruments<S>5035</S>, and with harps<S>3658</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Gad<S>1410</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s seer<S>2374</S>, and Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; for the commandment<S>4687</S> was of<S>3027</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> by<S>3027</S> his prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
The Levites<S>3881</S> stood<S>5975</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>2396</S> commanded<S>559</S> to offer<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5927</S> on the altar<S>4196</S>. When<S>6256</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> began<S>2490</S>, the song<S>7892</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> also<S>2689</S>, and the trumpets, together with the instruments<S>3627</S> of<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
All the assembly<S>6951</S> worshiped<S>7812</S>, and the singers<S>7892</S> sang<S>7891</S>, and the trumpeters<S>2689</S> sounded<S>2690</S>; all this continued until the burnt offering<S>5930</S> was finished<S>3615</S>.


text:
When they had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering<S>5927</S>, the king<S>4428</S> and all who were present<S>4672</S> with him bowed<S>3766</S> themselves and worshiped<S>7812</S>.


text:
Moreover Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> commanded<S>559</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> to sing praises<S>1984</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> with the words<S>1697</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Asaph<S>623</S> the seer<S>2374</S>. They sang praises<S>1984</S> with gladness<S>8057</S>, and they bowed their heads<S>6915</S> and worshiped<S>7812</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Now<S>559</S> you have consecrated<S>4390</S> yourselves to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; come near<S>5066</S> and bring<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>." The assembly<S>6951</S> brought in<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S>; and as many as were of a willing<S>5081</S> heart<S>3820</S> brought burnt offerings<S>5930</S>.


text:
The number<S>4557</S> of the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> which the assembly<S>6951</S> brought<S>935</S> was seventy<S>7657</S> bulls<S>1241</S>, one hundred<S>3967</S> rams<S>352</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> lambs<S>3532</S>: all these were for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The consecrated things<S>6944</S> were six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> head of cattle<S>1241</S> and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
But the priests<S>3548</S> were too few<S>4592</S>, so that they could<S>3201</S> not flay<S>6584</S> all the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>: therefore their brothers<S>251</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> helped<S>2388</S> them<S>4399</S>, until the work was ended<S>3615</S>, and until the priests<S>3548</S> had sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>3881</S>; for the Levites were more upright<S>3477</S> in heart<S>3824</S> to sanctify<S>6942</S> themselves than the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
Also the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> were in abundance<S>7230</S>, with the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>, and with the drink offerings<S>5262</S> for every burnt offering<S>5930</S>. So the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was set in order<S>3559</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, because of that which God<S>430</S> had prepared<S>3559</S> for the people<S>5971</S>: for the thing<S>1697</S> was done suddenly<S>6597</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> began<S>2490</S> to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> on Mount<S>2022</S> Moriah<S>4179</S>, where Yahweh<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, which he prepared in the place<S>4725</S> that David<S>1732</S> had appointed<S>1637</S>, in the threshing floor of Ornan<S>771</S> the Jebusite<S>2983</S>.


text:
He began<S>2490</S> to build<S>1129</S> in the second<S>8145</S> day of the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, in the fourth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4438</S>.


text:
Now these are the foundations which Solomon<S>8010</S> laid<S>3245</S> for the building<S>1129</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>. The length<S>753</S> by cubits<S>520</S> after the first<S>7223</S> measure<S>4060</S> was sixty<S>8346</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
The porch<S>197</S> that was in front<S>6440</S>, its length<S>753</S>, according to the breadth<S>7341</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, was twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the height<S>1363</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> twenty<S>6242</S>; and he overlaid<S>6823</S> it within<S>6441</S> with pure<S>2889</S> gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
The greater<S>1419</S> house<S>1004</S> he made a ceiling<S>2645</S> with fir<S>1265</S> wood<S>6086</S>, which he overlaid<S>2645</S> with fine<S>2896</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and ornamented<S>5927</S> it with palm trees<S>8561</S> and chains<S>8333</S>.


text:
He garnished<S>6823</S> the house<S>1004</S> with precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S> for beauty<S>8597</S>: and the gold<S>2091</S> was gold<S>2091</S> of Parvaim<S>6516</S>.


text:
He overlaid<S>2645</S> also the house<S>1004</S>, the beams<S>6982</S>, the thresholds<S>5592</S>, and its walls<S>7023</S>, and its doors<S>1817</S>, with gold<S>2091</S>; and engraved<S>6605</S> cherubim<S>3742</S> on the walls<S>7023</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> house<S>1004</S>: its length<S>753</S>, according to<S>6440</S> the breadth<S>7341</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, was twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and its breadth<S>7341</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and he overlaid<S>2645</S> it with fine<S>2896</S> gold<S>2091</S>, amounting to six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S>.


text:
The weight<S>4948</S> of the nails<S>4548</S> was fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of gold<S>2091</S>. He overlaid<S>2645</S> the upper rooms<S>5944</S> with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
In the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> house<S>1004</S> he made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> cherubim<S>3742</S> of image<S>6816</S> work<S>4639</S>; and they overlaid<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
The wings<S>3671</S> of the cherubim<S>3742</S> were twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> long<S>753</S>: the wing<S>3671</S> of the one<S>259</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>; and the other<S>312</S> wing<S>3671</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>312</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
The wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>259</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, reaching<S>5060</S> to the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>; and the other<S>312</S> wing<S>3671</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, joining<S>1695</S> to the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>312</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
The wings<S>3671</S> of these cherubim<S>3742</S> spread themselves forth<S>6566</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and they stood<S>5975</S> on their feet<S>7272</S>, and their faces<S>6440</S> were toward the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the veil<S>6532</S> of blue<S>8504</S>, and purple<S>713</S>, and crimson<S>3758</S>, and fine linen<S>948</S>, and ornamented<S>5927</S> it with cherubim<S>3742</S>.


text:
Also he made<S>6213</S> before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> - five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>753</S>, and the capital<S>6858</S> that was on the top<S>7218</S> of each of them was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> chains<S>8333</S> in the oracle<S>1687</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them on the tops<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>; and he made<S>6213</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them on the chains<S>8333</S>.


text:
He set up<S>6965</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> before<S>6440</S> the temple<S>1964</S>, one<S>259</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and the other<S>259</S> on the left<S>8040</S>; and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of that on the right hand<S>3233</S> Jachin<S>3199</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of that on the left<S>8042</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> sent<S>7971</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>107</S> also to Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, that they should come<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> had taken counsel<S>3289</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and all the assembly<S>6951</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> in the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
For they could<S>3201</S> not keep<S>6213</S> it at that time<S>6256</S>, because the priests<S>3548</S> had not sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves in sufficient<S>4078</S> number<S>5971</S>, neither had the people gathered themselves together<S>622</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The thing<S>1697</S> was right<S>3474</S> in the eyes of the king<S>4428</S> and of all the assembly<S>6951</S>.


text:
So they established<S>5975</S> a decree<S>1697</S> to make proclamation<S>5674</S> throughout all Israel<S>3478</S>, from Beersheba<S>884</S> even to Dan<S>1835</S>, that they should come<S>935</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: for they had not kept<S>6213</S> it in great numbers<S>7230</S> in such sort as it is written<S>3789</S>.


text:
So the couriers<S>7323</S> went<S>3212</S> with the letters<S>107</S> from<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> and his princes<S>8269</S> throughout all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, and according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "You children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, turn again<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, Isaac<S>3327</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may return<S>7725</S> to the remnant<S>7604</S> that have escaped<S>6413</S> of you out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>.


text:
Don<S>1</S>'t be like your fathers, and like your brothers<S>251</S>, who trespassed<S>4603</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, so that he gave them up<S>5414</S> to desolation<S>8047</S>, as you see<S>7200</S>.


text:
Now don<S>7185</S>'t be stiff-necked, as your fathers<S>1</S> were<S>5414</S>; but yield yourselves<S>3027</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and enter<S>935</S> into his sanctuary<S>4720</S>, which he has sanctified<S>6942</S> forever<S>5769</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, that his fierce<S>2740</S> anger<S>639</S> may turn away from you<S>7725</S>.


text:
For if you turn again<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, your brothers<S>251</S> and your children<S>1121</S> shall find compassion<S>7356</S> before<S>6440</S> those who led them captive<S>7617</S>, and shall come again<S>7725</S> into this land<S>776</S>: for Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> is gracious<S>2587</S> and merciful<S>7349</S>, and will not turn away<S>5493</S> his face<S>6440</S> from you<S>7725</S>, if you return to him."

So the couriers<S>7323</S> passed<S>5674</S> from city<S>5892</S> to city<S>5892</S> through the country<S>776</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, even to Zebulun<S>2074</S>: but they ridiculed<S>7832</S> them<S>3932</S>, and mocked them.


text:
Nevertheless certain<S>582</S> men of Asher<S>836</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S> and of Zebulun<S>2074</S> humbled<S>3665</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and came to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Also on Judah<S>3063</S> came the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> to give<S>5414</S> them one<S>259</S> heart<S>3820</S>, to do<S>6213</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and of the princes<S>8269</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Many<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> assembled<S>622</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> in the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, a very<S>3966</S> great<S>7230</S> assembly<S>6951</S>.


text:
They arose<S>6965</S> and took away<S>5493</S> the altars<S>4196</S> that were in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and all the altars for incense<S>6999</S> took they away<S>5493</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> them into the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
Then they killed<S>7819</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day of the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>: and the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> were ashamed<S>3637</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and brought burnt offerings<S>5930</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
They stood<S>5975</S> in their place<S>5977</S> after their order<S>4941</S>, according to the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>: the priests<S>3548</S> sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> which they received of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
For there were many<S>7227</S> in the assembly<S>6951</S> who had not sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>3881</S>: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing<S>7821</S> the Passovers<S>6453</S> for everyone who was not clean<S>2889</S>, to sanctify<S>6942</S> them to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
For a multitude<S>4768</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, even many<S>7227</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, Issachar<S>3485</S> and Zebulun<S>2074</S>, had not<S>3808</S> cleansed<S>2891</S> themselves<S>398</S>, yet they ate the Passover<S>6453</S> otherwise than it is written<S>3789</S>. For Hezekiah<S>3169</S> had prayed<S>6419</S> for them<S>559</S>, saying, "May the good<S>2896</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> pardon everyone<S>3722</S>


text:
who sets<S>3559</S> his heart<S>3824</S> to seek<S>1875</S> God<S>430</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>, even if they aren<S>2893</S>'t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary<S>6944</S>."


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> listened<S>8085</S> to Hezekiah<S>3169</S>, and healed<S>7495</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who were present<S>4672</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S> kept<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> with great<S>1419</S> gladness<S>8057</S>; and the Levites<S>3881</S> and the priests<S>3548</S> praised<S>1984</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>, singing with loud<S>5797</S> instruments<S>3627</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> spoke<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3820</S> to all the Levites<S>3881</S> who had good<S>2896</S> understanding<S>7922</S> in the service<S>7919</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. So they ate<S>398</S> throughout the feast<S>4150</S> for the seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, offering<S>2076</S> sacrifices of peace<S>8002</S> offerings<S>2076</S>, and making confession<S>3034</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
The whole assembly<S>6951</S> took counsel<S>3289</S> to keep<S>6213</S> other<S>312</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>; and they kept<S>6213</S> another seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> with gladness<S>8057</S>.


text:
For Hezekiah<S>2396</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> gave<S>7311</S> to the assembly<S>6951</S> for offerings one thousand<S>505</S> bulls<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>; and the princes<S>8269</S> gave<S>7311</S> to the assembly<S>6951</S> a thousand<S>505</S> bulls<S>6499</S> and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>: and a great number<S>7230</S> of priests<S>3548</S> sanctified themselves<S>6942</S>.


text:
All the assembly<S>6951</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, with the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all the assembly<S>6951</S> who came out<S>935</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the foreigners<S>1616</S> who came out<S>935</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and who lived<S>3427</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, rejoiced<S>8055</S>.


text:
So there was great<S>1419</S> joy<S>8057</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; for since the time<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> there was not the like in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Then the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> arose<S>6965</S> and blessed<S>1288</S> the people<S>5971</S>: and their voice<S>6963</S> was heard<S>8085</S>, and their prayer<S>8605</S> came<S>935</S> up to his holy<S>6944</S> habitation<S>4583</S>, even to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
Now when all this was finished<S>3615</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> who were present<S>4672</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> in pieces<S>7665</S> the pillars<S>4676</S>, and cut down<S>1438</S> the Asherim<S>842</S>, and broke down<S>5422</S> the high places<S>1116</S> and the altars<S>4196</S> out of all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, in Ephraim<S>669</S> also and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, until they had destroyed<S>3615</S> them all<S>1121</S>. Then all the children of Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his possession<S>272</S>, into their own cities<S>5892</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> appointed<S>5975</S> the divisions<S>4256</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> after their divisions<S>4256</S>, every man<S>376</S> according<S>6310</S> to his service<S>5656</S>, both the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, for burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and for peace offerings<S>5930</S>, to minister<S>8334</S>, and to give thanks<S>3034</S>, and to praise<S>1984</S> in the gates<S>8179</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He appointed also the king<S>4428</S>'s portion<S>4521</S> of his substance<S>7399</S> for the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, for the morning<S>1242</S> and evening<S>6153</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> for the Sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and for the new moons<S>2320</S>, and for the set feasts<S>4150</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Moreover he commanded<S>559</S> the people<S>5971</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to give<S>5414</S> the portion<S>4521</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, that they might give<S>2388</S> themselves to the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
As soon as the commandment<S>1697</S> came abroad<S>6555</S>, the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gave<S>935</S> in abundance<S>7235</S> the first fruits<S>7225</S> of grain<S>1715</S>, new wine<S>8492</S>, and oil<S>3323</S>, and honey<S>1706</S>, and of all the increase<S>8393</S> of the field<S>7704</S>; and the tithe<S>4643</S> of all things brought<S>935</S> they in abundantly<S>7230</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>, who lived<S>3427</S> in the cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, they also brought in<S>935</S> the tithe<S>4643</S> of cattle<S>1241</S> and sheep<S>6629</S>, and the tithe<S>4643</S> of dedicated things<S>6944</S> which were consecrated<S>6942</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>5414</S> them by heaps<S>6194</S>.


text:
In the third<S>7992</S> month<S>2320</S> they began<S>2490</S> to lay the foundation<S>3245</S> of the heaps<S>6194</S>, and finished<S>3615</S> them in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
When Hezekiah<S>3169</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> came<S>935</S> and saw<S>7200</S> the heaps<S>6194</S>, they blessed<S>1288</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> questioned<S>1875</S> the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> concerning the heaps<S>6194</S>.


text:
Azariah<S>5838</S> the chief<S>7218</S> priest<S>3548</S>, of the house<S>1004</S> of Zadok<S>6659</S>, answered<S>559</S> him and said<S>559</S>, "Since people began<S>2490</S> to bring<S>935</S> the offerings<S>8641</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, we have eaten<S>398</S> and had enough<S>7646</S>, and have left<S>3498</S> plenty<S>7230</S>: for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has blessed<S>1288</S> his people<S>5971</S>; and that which is left<S>3498</S> is this great store<S>1995</S>."


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> commanded<S>559</S> them to prepare<S>3559</S> rooms<S>3957</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and they prepared them<S>3559</S>.


text:
They brought in<S>935</S> the offerings<S>8641</S> and the tithes<S>4643</S> and the dedicated<S>6944</S> things faithfully<S>530</S>: and over them Conaniah<S>3562</S> the Levite<S>3881</S> was ruler<S>5057</S>, and Shimei<S>8096</S> his brother<S>251</S> was second<S>4932</S>.


text:
Jehiel<S>3171</S>, and Azaziah<S>5812</S>, and Nahath<S>5184</S>, and Asahel<S>6214</S>, and Jerimoth<S>3406</S>, and Jozabad<S>3107</S>, and Eliel<S>447</S>, and Ismachiah<S>3253</S>, and Mahath<S>4287</S>, and Benaiah<S>1141</S>, were overseers<S>6496</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Conaniah<S>3562</S> and Shimei<S>8096</S> his brother<S>251</S>, by the appointment<S>4662</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and Azariah<S>5838</S> the ruler<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Kore<S>6981</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imnah<S>3232</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>, the porter<S>7778</S> at the east<S>4217</S> gate<S>5071</S>, was over the freewill offerings of God<S>430</S>, to distribute<S>5414</S> the offerings<S>8641</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the most<S>6944</S> holy things<S>6944</S>.


text:
Under him were Eden<S>5731</S>, and Miniamin<S>4509</S>, and Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, Amariah<S>568</S>, and Shecaniah<S>7935</S>, in the cities<S>5892</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, in their office<S>530</S> of trust<S>5414</S>, to give to their brothers<S>251</S> by<S>3027</S> divisions<S>4256</S>, as well to the great<S>1419</S> as to the small<S>6996</S>:


text:
besides those who were reckoned by genealogy<S>3187</S> of males<S>2145</S>, from three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and upward<S>4605</S>, even everyone who entered<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as the duty of every day<S>3117</S> required<S>1697</S>, for their service<S>5656</S> in their offices<S>4931</S> according to their divisions<S>4256</S>;


text:
and those who were reckoned by genealogy<S>3187</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> by their fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>1004</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> from twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> and upward<S>4605</S>, in their offices<S>4931</S> by their divisions<S>4256</S>;


text:
and those who were reckoned by genealogy<S>3187</S> of all their little ones<S>2945</S>, their wives<S>802</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S>, and their daughters<S>1323</S>, through all the congregation<S>6951</S>: for in their office<S>530</S> of trust they sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves in holiness<S>6944</S>.


text:
Also for the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, who were in the fields<S>7704</S> of the suburbs<S>4054</S> of their cities<S>5892</S>, in every city<S>5892</S>, there were men<S>582</S> who were mentioned<S>5344</S> by name<S>8034</S>, to give<S>5414</S> portions<S>4490</S> to all the males<S>2145</S> among the priests<S>3548</S>, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy<S>3187</S> among the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> did<S>6213</S> so throughout all Judah<S>3063</S>; and he worked<S>6213</S> that which was good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> and faithful<S>571</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
In every work<S>4639</S> that he began<S>2490</S> in the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and in the law<S>8451</S>, and in the commandments<S>4687</S>, to seek<S>1875</S> his God<S>430</S>, he did<S>6213</S> it with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and prospered<S>6743</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, and this faithfulness<S>571</S>, Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> came<S>935</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into Judah<S>3063</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and thought<S>559</S> to win them for himself<S>1234</S>.


text:
When Hezekiah<S>3169</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Sennacherib<S>5576</S> had come<S>935</S>, and that he was purposed<S>6440</S> to fight<S>4421</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>,


text:
he took counsel<S>3289</S> with his princes<S>8269</S> and his mighty men<S>1368</S> to stop<S>5640</S> the waters<S>4325</S> of the springs<S>5869</S> which were outside<S>2351</S> of the city<S>5892</S>; and they helped him<S>5826</S>.


text:
So many<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S> gathered<S>6908</S> together<S>6908</S>, and they stopped<S>5640</S> all the springs<S>4599</S>, and the brook<S>5158</S> that flowed<S>7857</S> through the midst<S>8432</S> of the land<S>776</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Why should the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> come<S>935</S>, and find<S>4672</S> much<S>7227</S> water<S>4325</S>?"


text:
He took courage<S>2388</S>, and built up<S>1129</S> all the wall<S>2346</S> that was broken<S>6555</S> down<S>5927</S>, and raised it up to the towers<S>4026</S>, and the other<S>312</S> wall<S>2346</S> outside<S>2351</S>, and strengthened<S>2388</S> Millo<S>4407</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and made<S>6213</S> weapons<S>7973</S> and shields<S>4043</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
He set<S>5414</S> captains<S>8269</S> of war<S>4421</S> over the people<S>5971</S>, and gathered them together<S>6908</S> to him in the broad<S>7339</S> place at the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> comfortably<S>3824</S> to them<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
"Be strong<S>2388</S> and courageous<S>553</S>, don<S>3372</S>'t be afraid nor dismayed<S>2865</S> for<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, nor for all the multitude<S>1995</S> who is with him<S>7227</S>; for there is a greater with us than with him.


text:
With him is an arm<S>2220</S> of flesh<S>1320</S>; but with us is Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> to help<S>5826</S> us<S>3898</S>, and to fight our battles<S>4421</S>." The people<S>5971</S> rested<S>5564</S> themselves on the words<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.

After<S>310</S> this<S>5576</S>, Sennacherib king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, (now he was before Lachish<S>3923</S>, and all his power<S>4475</S> with him<S>3169</S>), to Hezekiah king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and to all Judah<S>3063</S> who were at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> Sennacherib<S>5576</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, "In whom do you trust<S>982</S>, that you remain<S>3427</S> under siege<S>4692</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>?


text:
Doesn<S>3169</S>'t Hezekiah persuade<S>5496</S> you<S>5414</S>, to give you over to die<S>4191</S> by famine<S>7458</S> and by thirst<S>6772</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3068</S> 'Yahweh our God<S>430</S> will deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3709</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>?'


text:
Hasn<S>3169</S>'t the same Hezekiah taken away<S>5493</S> his high places<S>1116</S> and his altars<S>4196</S>, and commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>7812</S> 'You shall worship before<S>6440</S> one<S>259</S> altar<S>4196</S>, and on it you shall burn incense<S>6999</S>?'


text:
Don<S>3045</S>'t you know what I and my fathers<S>1</S> have done<S>6213</S> to all the peoples<S>5971</S> of the lands<S>776</S>? Were the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> of the lands<S>776</S> in any way<S>3201</S> able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> their land<S>776</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Who was there among all the gods<S>430</S> of those nations<S>1471</S> which my fathers<S>1</S> utterly destroyed<S>2763</S>, that could<S>3201</S> deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, that your God<S>430</S> should be able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> you out of my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Now therefore don<S>3808</S>'t let Hezekiah<S>2396</S> deceive<S>5377</S> you<S>5496</S>, nor persuade you in this way<S>539</S>, neither believe him<S>433</S>; for no god of any nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S> was able<S>3201</S> to deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>. How much less will your God<S>430</S> deliver<S>5337</S> you out of my hand<S>3027</S>?"


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> spoke<S>1696</S> yet more against Yahweh<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, and against his servant<S>5650</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S>.


text:
He also wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> insulting<S>2778</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and to speak<S>559</S> against him<S>559</S>, saying, "As the gods<S>430</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> of the lands<S>776</S>, which have not delivered<S>5337</S> their people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>, so shall the God<S>430</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S> not deliver<S>5337</S> his people<S>5971</S> out of my hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
They cried<S>7121</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language to the people<S>5971</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> who were on the wall<S>2346</S>, to frighten<S>3372</S> them<S>926</S>, and to trouble them<S>3920</S>; that they might take the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
They spoke<S>1696</S> of<S>5921</S> the God<S>430</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, as of the gods<S>430</S> of the peoples<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, which are the work<S>4639</S> of men<S>120</S>'s hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, prayed<S>6419</S> because of this<S>2199</S>, and cried to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> an angel<S>4397</S>, who cut off<S>3582</S> all the mighty men<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and the leaders<S>5057</S> and captains<S>8269</S>, in the camp<S>4264</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>. So he returned<S>7725</S> with shame<S>1322</S> of face<S>6440</S> to his own land<S>776</S>. When he had come<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of his god<S>430</S>, those who came forth<S>3329</S> from his own bowels<S>4578</S> killed<S>5307</S> him there with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Thus Yahweh<S>3068</S> saved<S>3467</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Sennacherib<S>5576</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, and from the hand<S>3027</S> of all others<S>5095</S>, and guided them on every side<S>5439</S>.


text:
Many<S>7227</S> brought<S>935</S> gifts<S>4503</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and precious<S>4030</S> things to Hezekiah<S>3169</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; so that he was exalted<S>5375</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all nations<S>1471</S> from thenceforth<S>310</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> Hezekiah<S>3169</S> was sick<S>2470</S> even to death<S>4191</S>: and he prayed<S>6419</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and he spoke<S>559</S> to him<S>5414</S>, and gave him a sign<S>4159</S>.


text:
But Hezekiah<S>3169</S> didn<S>7725</S>'t render again according to the benefit<S>1576</S> done to him<S>3820</S>; for his heart was lifted up<S>1361</S>: therefore there was wrath<S>7110</S> on him<S>3063</S>, and on Judah and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Notwithstanding Hezekiah<S>3169</S> humbled<S>3665</S> himself for the pride<S>1363</S> of his heart<S>3820</S>, both he and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, so that the wrath<S>7110</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> didn<S>935</S>'t come on them in the days<S>3117</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> had exceeding<S>3966</S> much<S>7235</S> riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S>: and he provided<S>6213</S> him treasuries<S>214</S> for silver<S>3701</S>, and for gold<S>2091</S>, and for precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, and for spices<S>1314</S>, and for shields<S>4043</S>, and for all kinds of goodly<S>2532</S> vessels<S>3627</S>;


text:
storehouses<S>4543</S> also for the increase<S>8393</S> of grain<S>1715</S> and new wine<S>8492</S> and oil<S>3323</S>; and stalls<S>723</S> for all kinds of animals<S>929</S>, and flocks<S>5739</S> in folds<S>220</S>.


text:
Moreover he provided<S>6213</S> him cities<S>5892</S>, and possessions<S>4735</S> of flocks<S>6629</S> and herds<S>1241</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>; for God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> him very<S>3966</S> much<S>7227</S> substance<S>7399</S>.


text:
This same Hezekiah<S>3169</S> also stopped<S>5640</S> the upper<S>5945</S> spring<S>4161</S> of the waters of Gihon<S>1521</S>, and brought them straight<S>3474</S> down<S>4295</S> on the west side<S>4628</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>. Hezekiah<S>3169</S> prospered<S>6743</S> in all his works<S>4639</S>.


text:
However<S>3651</S> concerning the ambassadors<S>3887</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> to him to inquire<S>1875</S> of the wonder<S>4159</S> that was done in the land<S>776</S>, God<S>430</S> left<S>5800</S> him<S>5254</S>, to try him<S>3045</S>, that he might know all that was in his heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Hezekiah<S>3169</S>, and his good<S>2617</S> deeds<S>3789</S>, behold, they are written in the vision<S>2377</S> of Isaiah<S>3470</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Amoz<S>531</S>, in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Hezekiah<S>3169</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the ascent<S>4608</S> of the tombs<S>6913</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and all Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> did him<S>6213</S> honor<S>3519</S> at his death<S>4194</S>. Manasseh<S>4519</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Manasseh<S>4519</S> was twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> fifty<S>2572</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, after the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
For he built<S>1129</S> again<S>7725</S> the high places<S>1116</S> which Hezekiah<S>3169</S> his father<S>1</S> had broken down<S>5422</S>; and he reared up<S>6965</S> altars<S>4196</S> for the Baals<S>1168</S>, and made<S>6213</S> Asheroth<S>842</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> all the army<S>6635</S> of the sky<S>8064</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, of which Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "My name<S>8034</S> shall be in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
He built<S>1129</S> altars<S>4196</S> for all the army<S>6635</S> of the sky<S>8064</S> in the two<S>8147</S> courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He also made<S>5674</S> his children<S>1121</S> to pass through<S>5674</S> the fire<S>784</S> in the valley<S>1516</S> of the son<S>1121</S> of Hinnom<S>2011</S>; and he practiced sorcery<S>6049</S>, and used enchantments<S>5172</S>, and practiced sorcery<S>3784</S>, and dealt<S>6213</S> with those who had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and with wizards<S>3049</S>: he worked<S>6213</S> much<S>7235</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
He set<S>7760</S> the engraved image<S>6459</S> of the idol<S>5566</S>, which he had made<S>6213</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, of which God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> and to Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, "In this house<S>1004</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which I have chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, will I put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> forever<S>5865</S>:


text:
neither will I any more<S>3254</S> remove<S>5493</S> the foot<S>7272</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from off the land<S>127</S> which I have appointed<S>5975</S> for your fathers<S>1</S>, if<S>518</S> only they will observe<S>8104</S> to do<S>6213</S> all that<S>518</S> I have commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>8451</S>, even all the law and the statutes<S>2706</S> and the ordinances<S>4941</S> given by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S>."


text:
Manasseh<S>4519</S> seduced<S>8582</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, so that they did<S>6213</S> more<S>7451</S> evil<S>8582</S> than the nations<S>1471</S> whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> destroyed<S>8045</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel did<S>3478</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and to his people<S>5971</S>; but they gave no heed<S>7181</S>.


text:
Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> brought<S>935</S> on them the captains of<S>8269</S> the army of<S>8269</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, who took<S>3920</S> Manasseh<S>4519</S> in chains<S>631</S>, and bound him with fetters<S>5178</S>, and carried<S>3212</S> him<S>631</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
When he was in distress<S>6887</S>, he begged<S>2470</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, and humbled<S>3665</S> himself greatly<S>3966</S> before<S>6440</S> the God<S>430</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
He prayed<S>6419</S> to him<S>6279</S>; and he was entreated by him<S>8085</S>, and heard his supplication<S>8467</S>, and brought him again<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> into his kingdom<S>4438</S>. Then Manasseh<S>4519</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> was God<S>430</S>.


text:
Now after this<S>310</S> he built<S>1129</S> an outer wall<S>2346</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, on the west side<S>4628</S> of Gihon<S>1521</S>, in<S>935</S> the valley<S>5158</S>, even to the entrance<S>935</S> at the fish<S>1709</S> gate<S>8179</S>; and he encircled<S>5437</S> Ophel<S>6077</S> with it<S>1361</S>, and raised it up to a very great height<S>3966</S>: and he put<S>7760</S> valiant<S>2428</S> captains<S>8269</S> in all the fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He took away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S>, and the idol<S>5566</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and all the altars<S>4196</S> that he had built<S>1129</S> in the mountain<S>2022</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> them out<S>2351</S> of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> up the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and offered<S>2076</S> thereon sacrifices of peace<S>8002</S> offerings<S>2077</S> and of thanksgiving<S>8426</S>, and commanded<S>559</S> Judah<S>3063</S> to serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>61</S> the people<S>5971</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> still in the high places<S>1116</S>, but only to Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and his prayer<S>8605</S> to his God<S>430</S>, and the words<S>1697</S> of the seers<S>2374</S> who spoke<S>1696</S> to him in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, behold<S>1697</S>, they are written among the acts of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
His prayer<S>8605</S> also<S>6279</S>, and how God was entreated of him<S>2403</S>, and all his sin and his trespass<S>4604</S>, and the places<S>4725</S> in which he built<S>1129</S> high places<S>1116</S>, and set up<S>5975</S> the Asherim<S>842</S> and the engraved images<S>6456</S>, before<S>6440</S> he humbled<S>3665</S> himself<S>3789</S>: behold, they are written in the history<S>1697</S> of Hozai<S>2374</S>.


text:
So Manasseh<S>4519</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and they buried<S>6912</S> him in his own house<S>1004</S>: and Amon<S>526</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Amon<S>526</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as did<S>6213</S> Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S>; and Amon<S>526</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> to all the engraved images<S>6456</S> which Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>, and served them<S>5647</S>.


text:
He didn<S>6440</S>'t humble himself before Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as Manasseh<S>4519</S> his father<S>1</S> had humbled<S>3665</S> himself<S>526</S>; but this same Amon trespassed<S>819</S> more<S>7235</S> and more<S>7235</S>.


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>4191</S>, and put him to death in his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> killed<S>5221</S> all those who had conspired<S>7194</S> against king<S>4428</S> Amon<S>526</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> made<S>4427</S> Josiah<S>2977</S> his son<S>1121</S> king in his place<S>4427</S>.

Josiah<S>2977</S> was eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> thirty<S>7970</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the ways<S>1870</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, and didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside to the right hand<S>3225</S> or to the left<S>8040</S>.


text:
For in the eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, while he was yet young<S>5288</S>, he began<S>2490</S> to seek<S>1875</S> after the God<S>430</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and in the twelfth<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> he began<S>2490</S> to purge<S>2891</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> from the high places<S>1116</S>, and the Asherim<S>842</S>, and the engraved images<S>6456</S>, and the molten images<S>4541</S>.


text:
They broke down<S>5422</S> the altars<S>4196</S> of the Baals<S>1168</S> in his presence<S>6440</S>; and the incense altars<S>2553</S> that were on high above them<S>4605</S> he cut down<S>1438</S>; and the Asherim<S>842</S>, and the engraved images<S>6456</S>, and the molten images<S>6456</S>, he broke in pieces<S>7665</S>, and made dust<S>1854</S> of them<S>2236</S>, and strewed it on<S>6440</S> the graves<S>6913</S> of those who had sacrificed to them<S>2076</S>.


text:
He burnt<S>8313</S> the bones<S>6106</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> on their altars<S>4196</S>, and purged<S>2891</S> Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He did this in the cities<S>5892</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S> and Ephraim<S>669</S> and Simeon<S>8095</S>, even to Naphtali<S>5321</S>, around<S>5439</S> in their ruins<S>2719</S>.


text:
He broke down<S>5422</S> the altars<S>4196</S>, and beat<S>3807</S> the Asherim<S>842</S> and the engraved images<S>6456</S> into powder<S>1854</S>, and cut down<S>1438</S> all the incense altars<S>2553</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, when he had purged<S>2891</S> the land<S>776</S> and the house<S>1004</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> Shaphan<S>8227</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Azaliah<S>683</S>, and Maaseiah<S>4641</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and Joah<S>3098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joahaz<S>3099</S> the recorder<S>2142</S>, to repair<S>2388</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
They came<S>935</S> to Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, which the Levites<S>3881</S>, the keepers<S>8104</S> of the threshold<S>5592</S>, had gathered<S>622</S> of the hand<S>3027</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S> and Ephraim<S>669</S>, and of all the remnant<S>7611</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and of all Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and of the inhabitants<S>7725</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
They delivered<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the workmen<S>6213</S> who had the oversight<S>6485</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and the workmen<S>6213</S> who labored<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> it to mend<S>2388</S> and repair<S>918</S> the house<S>1004</S>;


text:
even to the carpenters<S>2796</S> and to the builders<S>1129</S> gave<S>5414</S> they it<S>7069</S>, to buy cut<S>4274</S> stone<S>68</S>, and timber<S>6086</S> for couplings<S>4226</S>, and to make beams<S>7136</S> for the houses<S>1004</S> which the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had destroyed<S>7843</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> faithfully<S>530</S>: and their overseers<S>5329</S> were Jahath<S>3189</S> and Obadiah<S>5662</S>, the Levites<S>3881</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of Merari<S>4847</S>; and Zechariah<S>2148</S> and Meshullam<S>4918</S>, of the sons of the Kohathites<S>6956</S>, to set it forward<S>6485</S>; and others of the Levites<S>3881</S>, all who were skillful<S>995</S> with instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S>.


text:
Also they were over the bearers of burdens<S>5449</S>, and set forward<S>5329</S> all who did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S> in every kind of service<S>5656</S>: and of the Levites<S>3881</S> there were scribes<S>5608</S>, and officers<S>7860</S>, and porters<S>7778</S>.


text:
When they brought out<S>3318</S> the money<S>3701</S> that was brought into<S>935</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> found<S>4672</S> the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> given by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
Hilkiah<S>2518</S> answered<S>6030</S> Shaphan<S>8227</S> the<S>559</S> scribe<S>5608</S>, "I have found<S>4672</S> the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>." Hilkiah<S>2518</S> delivered<S>5414</S> the book<S>5612</S> to Shaphan<S>8227</S>.


text:
Shaphan<S>8227</S> carried<S>935</S> the book<S>5612</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and moreover brought<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S> word<S>1697</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "All that was committed<S>5414</S> to<S>3027</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, they are doing<S>6213</S>.


text:
They have emptied<S>5413</S> out the money<S>3701</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and have delivered<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the overseers<S>6485</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the workmen<S>6213</S>."


text:
Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> told<S>5046</S> the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Hilkiah<S>2518</S> the priest<S>3548</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> me a book<S>5612</S>." Shaphan<S>8227</S> read<S>7121</S> therein before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
It happened<S>4428</S>, when the king had heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and Ahikam<S>296</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphan<S>8227</S>, and Abdon<S>5658</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, and Shaphan<S>8227</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and Asaiah<S>6222</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s servant<S>5650</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Go<S>3212</S> inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> for me<S>7604</S>, and for those who are left in Israel<S>3478</S> and in Judah<S>3063</S>, concerning the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> that is found<S>4672</S>; for great<S>1419</S> is the wrath<S>2534</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> that is poured out<S>5413</S> on us<S>1</S>, because our fathers have not kept<S>8104</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according to all that is written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S>."


text:
So Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and they whom the king<S>4428</S> had commanded<S>3212</S>, went to Huldah<S>2468</S> the prophetess<S>5031</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Shallum<S>7967</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tokhath<S>8616</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hasrah<S>2641</S>, keeper<S>8104</S> of the wardrobe<S>899</S>; (now she lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the second quarter<S>4932</S>;) and they spoke to her to that effect<S>1696</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S> to them<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: <S>559</S> 'Tell the man<S>376</S> who sent you to me<S>7971</S>,


text:
"Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>935</S> 'Behold, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> on this place<S>4725</S>, and on its inhabitants<S>3427</S>, even all the curses<S>423</S> that are written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> which they have read<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Because they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>6999</S>, and have burned incense to other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, that they might provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with all the works<S>4639</S> of their hands<S>3027</S>; therefore is my wrath<S>2534</S> poured out<S>5413</S> on this place<S>4725</S>, and it shall not be quenched<S>3518</S>.'"'


text:
But to<S>413</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> you to inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, thus you shall tell<S>559</S> him<S>559</S>, 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: "As touching the words<S>1697</S> which you have heard<S>8085</S>,


text:
because your heart<S>3824</S> was tender<S>7401</S>, and you humbled<S>3665</S> yourself before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>, when you heard<S>8085</S> his words<S>1697</S> against this place<S>4725</S>, and against its inhabitants<S>3427</S>, and have humbled<S>3665</S> yourself before<S>6440</S> me<S>7167</S>, and have torn your clothes<S>899</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>8085</S>; I also have heard you<S>5002</S>," says Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
"Behold<S>622</S>, I will gather you to your fathers<S>1</S>, and you shall be gathered<S>622</S> to your grave<S>6913</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, neither shall your eyes<S>5869</S> see<S>7200</S> all the evil<S>7451</S> that I will bring<S>935</S> on this place<S>4725</S>, and on its inhabitants<S>3427</S>."'" They brought<S>7725</S> back<S>7725</S> word<S>1697</S> to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and gathered together<S>622</S> all the elders<S>2205</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and all the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, both great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>: and he read<S>7121</S> in their ears<S>241</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the book<S>5612</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> that was found<S>4672</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> stood<S>5975</S> in his place<S>5977</S>, and made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and to keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S>, and his statutes<S>2706</S>, with all his heart<S>3824</S>, and with all his soul<S>5315</S>, to perform<S>6213</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> that were written<S>3789</S> in this book<S>5612</S>.


text:
He caused all who were found<S>4672</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S> to stand<S>5975</S>. The inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> did<S>6213</S> according to the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Josiah<S>2977</S> took away<S>5493</S> all the abominations<S>8441</S> out of all the countries<S>776</S> that pertained to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and made all who were found<S>4672</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> to serve<S>5647</S>, even to serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>. All his days<S>3117</S> they didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from following<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Josiah<S>2977</S> kept<S>6213</S> a Passover<S>6453</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and they killed<S>7819</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
He set<S>5975</S> the priests<S>3548</S> in their offices<S>4931</S>, and encouraged<S>2388</S> them to the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to the Levites<S>3881</S> who taught<S>995</S> all Israel<S>3478</S>, who were holy<S>6918</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "Put<S>5414</S> the holy<S>6944</S> ark<S>727</S> in the house<S>1004</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> the son<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> built<S>1129</S>. There shall no more be a burden<S>4853</S> on your shoulders<S>3802</S>. Now serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, and his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.

Prepare<S>3559</S> yourselves after your fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>1004</S> by your divisions<S>4256</S>, according to the writing<S>3791</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and according to the writing<S>4385</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Stand in<S>5975</S> the holy<S>6944</S> place according to the divisions<S>6391</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>1004</S> of your brothers<S>251</S> the children of the people<S>1121</S>, and let there be for each a portion<S>2515</S> of a fathers<S>1</S>' house of the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
Kill<S>7819</S> the Passover<S>6453</S>, and sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>3559</S>, and prepare for your brothers<S>251</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S>."


text:
Josiah<S>2977</S> gave<S>7311</S> to the children of the people<S>1121</S>, of the flock<S>6629</S>, lambs<S>3532</S> and young goats<S>1121</S>, all of them for the Passover offerings<S>6453</S>, to all who were present<S>4672</S>, to the number<S>4557</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> bulls<S>1241</S>: these were of the king<S>4428</S>'s substance<S>7399</S>.


text:
His princes<S>8269</S> gave<S>7311</S> for a freewill offering<S>5071</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, to the priests<S>3548</S>, and to the Levites<S>3881</S>. Hilkiah<S>2518</S> and Zechariah<S>2148</S> and Jehiel<S>3171</S>, the rulers<S>5057</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, gave<S>5414</S> to the priests<S>3548</S> for the Passover offerings<S>6453</S> two thousand<S>505</S> and six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> small livestock<S>7969</S>, and three hundred<S>3967</S> head of cattle<S>1241</S>.


text:
Conaniah<S>3562</S> also<S>8098</S>, and Shemaiah and Nethanel<S>5417</S>, his brothers<S>251</S>, and Hashabiah<S>2811</S> and Jeiel<S>3273</S> and Jozabad<S>3107</S>, the chiefs<S>8269</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, gave<S>7311</S> to the Levites<S>3881</S> for the Passover offerings<S>6453</S> five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> small livestock<S>2568</S>, and five hundred<S>3967</S> head of cattle<S>1241</S>.


text:
So the service<S>5656</S> was prepared<S>3559</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> stood<S>5975</S> in their place<S>5977</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> by their divisions<S>4256</S>, according to the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>4687</S>.

They killed<S>7819</S> the Passover<S>6453</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood which they received of their hand<S>3027</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> flayed them<S>6584</S>.


text:
They removed<S>5493</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, that they might give<S>5414</S> them according to the divisions<S>4653</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' houses of the children of the people<S>1121</S>, to offer<S>7126</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>. So they did with the cattle<S>1241</S>.

They roasted<S>1310</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> with fire<S>784</S> according to the ordinance<S>4941</S>: and the holy<S>6944</S> offerings boiled<S>1310</S> they in pots<S>5518</S>, and in caldrons<S>1731</S>, and in pans<S>6745</S>, and carried them quickly<S>7323</S> to all the children of the people<S>1121</S>.


text:
Afterward<S>310</S> they prepared<S>3559</S> for themselves<S>3548</S>, and for the priests, because the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> were busy with offering<S>5927</S> the burnt offerings<S>5927</S> and the fat<S>2459</S> until night<S>3915</S>: therefore the Levites<S>3881</S> prepared<S>3559</S> for themselves<S>3548</S>, and for the priests the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>.


text:
The singers<S>7891</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Asaph<S>623</S> were in their place<S>4612</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and Asaph<S>623</S>, and Heman<S>1968</S>, and Jeduthun<S>3038</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s seer<S>2374</S>; and the porters<S>7778</S> were at every gate<S>8179</S>: they didn<S>5493</S>'t need to depart from their service<S>5656</S>; for their brothers<S>251</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> prepared for them<S>3559</S>.


text:
So all the service<S>5656</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was prepared<S>3559</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, to keep<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S>, and to offer<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> on the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who were present<S>4672</S> kept<S>6213</S> the Passover<S>6453</S> at that time<S>6256</S>, and the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
There was no Passover<S>6453</S> like<S>3644</S> that kept<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> from the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>; neither did<S>6213</S> any of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> keep<S>6213</S> such a Passover<S>6453</S> as Josiah<S>2977</S> kept<S>6213</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and all Judah<S>3063</S> and Israel<S>3478</S> who were present<S>4672</S>, and the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
In the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of the reign<S>4438</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> was this Passover<S>6453</S> kept<S>6213</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> all this<S>2977</S>, when Josiah had prepared<S>3559</S> the temple<S>1004</S>, Neco<S>5224</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> went up<S>5927</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against Carchemish<S>3751</S> by the Euphrates<S>6578</S>: and Josiah<S>2977</S> went out<S>3318</S> against him<S>7125</S>.


text:
But he sent<S>7971</S> ambassadors<S>4397</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "What have I to do with you<S>4428</S>, you king of Judah<S>3063</S>? I come not against you this day<S>3117</S>, but against the house<S>1004</S> with which I have war<S>4421</S>. God<S>430</S> has commanded<S>559</S> me to make haste<S>926</S>. Beware<S>2308</S> that it is God<S>430</S> who is with me<S>7843</S>, that he not destroy you."


text:
Nevertheless Josiah<S>2977</S> would not turn<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> from him<S>2664</S>, but disguised himself<S>3898</S>, that he might fight with him<S>8085</S>, and didn't listen to the words<S>1697</S> of Neco<S>5224</S> from the mouth<S>6310</S> of God<S>430</S>, and came<S>935</S> to fight<S>3898</S> in the valley<S>1237</S> of Megiddo<S>4023</S>.


text:
The archers<S>3384</S> shot<S>3384</S> at king<S>4428</S> Josiah<S>2977</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Take me away<S>5674</S>, because I am seriously<S>3966</S> wounded<S>2470</S>!"


text:
So his servants<S>5650</S> took<S>5674</S> him out of the chariot<S>4818</S>, and put<S>7392</S> him in the second<S>4932</S> chariot<S>7393</S> that he had<S>3212</S>, and brought him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and he died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the tombs<S>6913</S> of his fathers<S>1</S>. All Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S> mourned<S>56</S> for Josiah<S>2977</S>.


text:
300<S>3414</S> lamented<S>6969</S> for Josiah<S>2977</S>: and all the singing men<S>7891</S> and singing women<S>7891</S> spoke<S>559</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S> in their lamentations<S>7015</S> to this day<S>3117</S>; and they made<S>5414</S> them an ordinance<S>2706</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: and behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the lamentations<S>7015</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and his good<S>2617</S> deeds<S>3789</S>, according to that which is written in the law<S>8451</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
and his acts<S>1697</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> took<S>3947</S> Jehoahaz<S>3059</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Josiah<S>2977</S>, and made him king<S>4427</S> in his father<S>1</S>'s place in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Joahaz<S>3099</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> deposed<S>5493</S> him at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and fined<S>6064</S> the land<S>776</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and a talent<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> made Eliakim<S>471</S> his brother<S>251</S> king<S>4428</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and changed<S>5437</S> his name<S>8034</S> to Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>. Neco<S>5224</S> took<S>3947</S> Joahaz<S>3099</S> his brother<S>251</S>, and carried<S>3947</S> him to Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Jehoiakim<S>3079</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>.


text:
Against him came up<S>5927</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him in fetters<S>5178</S>, to carry<S>3212</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> also carried<S>935</S> of the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in his temple<S>1964</S> at Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoiakim<S>3079</S>, and his abominations<S>8441</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and that which was found<S>4672</S> in him<S>3789</S>, behold, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S>: and Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Jehoiachin<S>3078</S> was eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> months<S>2320</S> and ten<S>6235</S> days<S>3117</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
At the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> sent<S>7971</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Babylon<S>894</S>, with the goodly<S>2532</S> vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and made Zedekiah<S>6667</S> his brother<S>251</S> king<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Zedekiah<S>6667</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> eleven<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>:


text:
and he did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>; he didn<S>3665</S>'t humble himself before<S>6440</S> Jeremiah<S>3414</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> speaking from the mouth<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
He also rebelled<S>4775</S> against king<S>4428</S> Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S>, who had made him swear<S>7650</S> by God<S>430</S>: but he stiffened<S>7185</S> his neck<S>6203</S>, and hardened<S>553</S> his heart<S>3824</S> against turning<S>7725</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Moreover all the chiefs<S>8269</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, and the people<S>5971</S>, trespassed<S>4603</S> very<S>4604</S> greatly<S>7235</S> after all the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>; and they polluted<S>2930</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> which he had made holy<S>6942</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, sent<S>7971</S> to them by<S>3027</S> his messengers<S>4397</S>, rising up early<S>7925</S> and sending<S>7971</S>, because he had compassion<S>2550</S> on his people<S>5971</S>, and on his dwelling place<S>4583</S>:


text:
but they mocked<S>3931</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, and despised<S>959</S> his words<S>1697</S>, and scoffed<S>8591</S> at his prophets<S>5030</S>, until the wrath<S>2534</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> arose<S>5927</S> against his people<S>5971</S>, until there was no remedy<S>4832</S>.


text:
Therefore he brought<S>5927</S> on them the king<S>4428</S> of the Chaldeans<S>3778</S>, who killed<S>2026</S> their young men<S>970</S> with the sword<S>2719</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of their sanctuary<S>4720</S>, and had no compassion<S>2550</S> on young man<S>970</S> or virgin<S>1330</S>, old man<S>2205</S> or gray-headed<S>3486</S>: he gave<S>5414</S> them all into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
All the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, and of his princes<S>8269</S>, all these he brought<S>935</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>.


text:
They burnt<S>8313</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and broke down<S>5422</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> all its palaces<S>759</S> with fire<S>784</S>, and destroyed<S>7843</S> all the goodly<S>4261</S> vessels of it<S>3627</S>.


text:
He carried those who had escaped<S>7611</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> away<S>1540</S> to Babylon<S>894</S>; and they were servants<S>5650</S> to him and his sons<S>1121</S> until the reign<S>4427</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>:


text:
to fulfill<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> by the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S>, until the land<S>776</S> had enjoyed<S>7521</S> its Sabbaths<S>7676</S>. As<S>3117</S> long as it lay desolate<S>8074</S> it kept Sabbath<S>7673</S>, to fulfill<S>4390</S> seventy<S>7657</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Now in the first<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> of Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> by the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jeremiah<S>3414</S> might be accomplished<S>3615</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> stirred up<S>5782</S> the spirit<S>7307</S> of Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, so that he made a proclamation<S>5674</S> throughout all his kingdom<S>4438</S>, and put it also in writing<S>4385</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Thus says<S>559</S> Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, <S>3068</S> 'Yahweh, the God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, has given<S>5414</S> all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> of the earth<S>776</S> to me<S>6485</S>; and he has commanded me to build<S>1129</S> him a house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which is in Judah<S>3063</S>. Whoever there is among you of all his people<S>5971</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> be with him<S>5927</S>, and let him go up.'"


text:
Then he made<S>6213</S> an altar<S>4196</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> its length<S>753</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> its breadth<S>7341</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> its height<S>6967</S>.


text:
Also he made<S>6213</S> the molten<S>3332</S> sea<S>3220</S> of ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> from brim<S>8193</S> to brim<S>8193</S>, round<S>5696</S> in compass<S>5439</S>; and its height<S>6967</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and a line<S>6957</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S> encircled<S>5437</S> it<S>5439</S>.


text:
Under it was the likeness<S>1823</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, which encircled<S>5437</S> it<S>5439</S>, for ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>, encircling<S>5362</S> the<S>5439</S> sea<S>3220</S>. The oxen<S>1241</S> were in two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S>, cast<S>3332</S> when it was cast<S>3332</S>.


text:
It stood<S>5975</S> on twelve<S>8147</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the north<S>6828</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the west<S>3220</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the south<S>5045</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the east<S>4217</S>: and the sea<S>3220</S> was set on them above<S>4605</S>, and all their hinder parts<S>268</S> were inward<S>1004</S>.


text:
It was a handbreadth<S>2947</S> thick<S>5672</S>; and its brim<S>8193</S> was worked<S>4639</S> like the brim<S>8193</S> of a cup<S>3563</S>, like the flower<S>6525</S> of a lily<S>7799</S>: it received<S>2388</S> and held<S>3557</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also ten<S>6235</S> basins<S>3595</S>, and put<S>5414</S> five<S>2568</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>, to wash<S>7364</S> in them<S>4639</S>; such things as belonged to the burnt offering<S>4639</S> they washed<S>1740</S> in them<S>3220</S>; but the sea was for the priests<S>3548</S> to wash in<S>7364</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the ten<S>6235</S> lampstands<S>4501</S> of gold<S>2091</S> according to the ordinance<S>4941</S> concerning them<S>5414</S>; and he set them in the temple<S>1964</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also ten<S>6235</S> tables<S>7979</S>, and placed<S>3240</S> them in the temple<S>1964</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right side<S>3225</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S>. He made<S>6213</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> basins<S>4219</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Furthermore he made<S>6213</S> the court<S>2691</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, and the great<S>1419</S> court<S>5835</S>, and doors<S>1817</S> for the court<S>5835</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> their doors<S>1817</S> with brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
He set<S>5414</S> the sea<S>3220</S> on the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house eastward<S>6924</S>, toward<S>4136</S> the south<S>5045</S>.


text:
Huram<S>2361</S> made<S>6213</S> the pots<S>5518</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>. So Huram<S>2361</S> made<S>3615</S> an end of doing the work<S>4399</S> that he did<S>6213</S> for king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>:

the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, and the bowls<S>1543</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> capitals<S>3805</S> which were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> networks to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>,

and the four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S> for the two<S>8147</S> networks<S>7639</S>; two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> of pomegranates<S>7416</S> for each<S>259</S> network<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on<S>6440</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> also the bases<S>4350</S>, and the basins<S>3595</S> made<S>6213</S> he on the bases<S>4350</S>;


text:
Huram<S>2361</S> his father<S>1</S> also made<S>6213</S> the pots<S>5518</S>, the shovels<S>3257</S>, the forks<S>4207</S>, and all its vessels<S>3627</S> for king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> of bright<S>4838</S> brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> cast<S>3332</S> them in the plain<S>3603</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S>, in the clay<S>5645</S> ground<S>127</S> between Succoth<S>5523</S> and Zeredah<S>6868</S>.


text:
Thus Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all these vessels<S>3627</S> in great<S>3966</S> abundance<S>7230</S>: for the weight<S>4948</S> of the brass<S>5178</S> could not be found out<S>2713</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, the golden<S>2091</S> altar<S>4196</S> also<S>7979</S>, and the tables with the show bread on them<S>3899</S>;


text:
and the lampstands<S>4501</S> with their lamps<S>5216</S>, to burn<S>1197</S> according to the ordinance<S>4941</S> before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>;


text:
and the flowers<S>6525</S>, and the lamps<S>5216</S>, and the tongs<S>4457</S>, of gold<S>2091</S>, and that perfect<S>4357</S> gold<S>2091</S>;


text:
and the snuffers<S>4212</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>, and the spoons<S>3709</S>, and the fire pans<S>4289</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: and as for the entry<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the inner<S>6442</S> doors<S>1817</S> of it for the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>1817</S>, and the doors of the main hall<S>1004</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> were of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Thus all the work<S>4399</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> did<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was finished<S>7999</S>. Solomon<S>8010</S> brought<S>935</S> in the things<S>6944</S> that David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, even the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in the treasuries<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> assembled<S>6950</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and all the heads<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>4294</S>, the princes<S>5387</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' households of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to bring up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, which is Zion<S>6726</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled<S>6950</S> themselves to the king<S>4428</S> at the feast<S>2282</S>, which was in the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
All the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>: and the Levites<S>3881</S> took up<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S>;


text:
and they brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S>, and all the holy<S>6944</S> vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the Tent<S>168</S>; these the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> brought up<S>5927</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> and all the congregation<S>5712</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that were assembled<S>3259</S> to him<S>6440</S>, were before the ark<S>727</S>, sacrificing<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and cattle<S>1241</S>, that could not be counted<S>5608</S> nor numbered<S>4487</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
For the cherubim<S>3742</S> spread forth<S>6566</S> their wings<S>3671</S> over the place<S>4725</S> of the ark<S>727</S>, and the cherubim<S>3742</S> covered<S>3680</S> the ark<S>727</S> and its poles<S>905</S> above<S>4605</S>.


text:
The poles<S>905</S> were so long<S>748</S> that the ends<S>7218</S> of the poles<S>905</S> were seen<S>7200</S> from the ark<S>727</S> before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>; but they were not seen<S>7200</S> outside<S>2351</S>: and there it is to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
There was nothing in the ark<S>727</S> except the two<S>8147</S> tables<S>3871</S> which Moses<S>4872</S> put<S>5414</S> at Horeb<S>2722</S>, when Yahweh<S>3068</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3548</S>, when the priests had come out<S>3318</S> of the holy<S>6944</S> place<S>3548</S>, (for all the priests who were present<S>4672</S> had sanctified<S>6942</S> themselves<S>8104</S>, and didn't keep their divisions<S>4256</S>;


text:
also the Levites<S>3881</S> who were the singers<S>7891</S>, all of them<S>623</S>, even Asaph, Heman<S>1968</S>, Jeduthun<S>3038</S>, and their sons<S>1121</S> and their brothers<S>251</S>, arrayed<S>3847</S> in fine linen<S>948</S>, with cymbals<S>4700</S> and stringed instruments<S>5035</S> and harps<S>3658</S>, stood<S>5975</S> at the east end<S>4217</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>, and with them one hundred<S>3967</S> twenty<S>6242</S> priests<S>3548</S> sounding<S>2690</S> with trumpets<S>2689</S>;)


text:
it happened<S>2690</S>, when the trumpeters and singers<S>7891</S> were as one<S>259</S>, to make one<S>259</S> sound<S>6963</S> to be heard<S>8085</S> in praising<S>1984</S> and thanking<S>3034</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and when they lifted up<S>7311</S> their voice<S>6963</S> with the trumpets<S>2689</S> and cymbals<S>4700</S> and instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S>, and praised<S>1984</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>2896</S>, "For he is good; for his loving kindness<S>2617</S> endures forever<S>5769</S>!" that then the house<S>1004</S> was filled<S>4390</S> with a cloud<S>6051</S>, even the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
so that the priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not stand<S>5975</S> to minister<S>8334</S> by reason<S>6440</S> of the cloud<S>6051</S>: for the glory<S>3519</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
But I have built<S>1129</S> you a house<S>1004</S> of habitation<S>2073</S>, and a place<S>4349</S> for you to dwell<S>3427</S> in forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stood<S>5975</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> be Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who spoke<S>1696</S> with his mouth<S>6310</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and has with his hands<S>3027</S> fulfilled<S>4390</S> it<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
<S>3117</S> 'Since the day that I brought forth<S>3318</S> my people<S>5971</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, I chose<S>977</S> no city<S>5892</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> in<S>8034</S>, that my name might be there<S>977</S>; neither chose I any man<S>376</S> to be prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>:


text:
but I have chosen<S>977</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> might be there<S>977</S>; and have chosen David<S>1732</S> to be over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.'


text:
Now it was in the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, <S>3824</S> 'Whereas it was in your heart to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, you did well<S>2895</S> that it was in your heart<S>3824</S>:


text:
nevertheless<S>7535</S> you shall not build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>; but your son<S>1121</S> who shall come forth<S>3318</S> out of your body<S>2504</S>, he shall build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>.'


text:
"Yahweh<S>3068</S> has performed<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> that he spoke<S>1696</S>; for I have risen up<S>6965</S> in the place of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> promised<S>1696</S>, and have built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
There<S>8033</S> I have set<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S>, in which is the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he made<S>3772</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
He stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in the presence of all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S>


text:
(for Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> a bronze<S>5178</S> scaffold<S>3595</S>, five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> long<S>753</S>, and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and three<S>7969</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>, and had set<S>5414</S> it in the midst<S>8432</S> of the court<S>5835</S>; and on it he stood<S>5975</S>, and kneeled down<S>1288</S> on his knees<S>1290</S> before all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S>;)

and he said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, there is no God<S>430</S> like you<S>8064</S>, in heaven, or on earth<S>776</S>; you who keep<S>8104</S> covenant<S>1285</S> and loving kindness<S>2617</S> with your servants<S>5650</S>, who walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you with all their heart<S>3820</S>;

who have kept<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you promised<S>1696</S> him<S>1696</S>: yes, you spoke with your mouth<S>6310</S>, and have fulfilled<S>4390</S> it with your hand<S>3027</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
"Now therefore<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, keep<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you have promised<S>1696</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>3772</S> 'There shall not fail you a man<S>376</S> in my sight<S>6440</S> to sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, if only<S>7535</S> your children<S>1121</S> take heed<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in my law<S>8451</S> as you have walked<S>3212</S> before me<S>6440</S>.'

Now therefore<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, let your word<S>1697</S> be verified<S>539</S>, which you spoke<S>1696</S> to your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S>.

"Moreover concerning the foreigner<S>5237</S>, who is not of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, when he shall come<S>935</S> from a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S> for your great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>'s sake<S>2389</S>, and your mighty hand<S>3027</S>, and your outstretched<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>; when they shall come<S>935</S> and pray<S>6419</S> toward this house<S>1004</S>:

then hear<S>8085</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, even from your dwelling<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, and do<S>6213</S> according to all that the foreigner<S>5237</S> calls<S>7121</S> to you for<S>5971</S>; that all the peoples of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> your name<S>8034</S>, and fear<S>3372</S> you<S>5971</S>, as does your people Israel<S>3478</S>, and that they may know<S>3045</S> that this house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> is called<S>7121</S> by your name<S>8034</S>.

"If your people<S>5971</S> go out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against their enemies<S>341</S>, by whatever way<S>1870</S> you shall send<S>7971</S> them<S>6419</S>, and they pray to you toward<S>1870</S> this city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>;

then hear<S>8085</S> from heaven<S>8064</S> their prayer<S>8605</S> and their supplication<S>8467</S>, and maintain<S>6213</S> their cause<S>4941</S>.

"If they sin<S>2398</S> against you<S>120</S> (for there is no man who doesn<S>2398</S>'t sin), and you are angry<S>599</S> with them<S>5414</S>, and deliver them to<S>6440</S> the enemy<S>341</S>, so that they carry them away<S>7617</S> captive<S>7617</S> to a land<S>776</S> far off<S>7350</S> or near<S>7138</S>;


text:
yet if they shall repent<S>7725</S> themselves in the land<S>776</S> where they are carried captive<S>7617</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> again<S>2603</S>, and make supplication to you in the land<S>776</S> of their captivity<S>7628</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>2398</S> 'We have sinned, we have done perversely<S>7561</S>, and have dealt wickedly<S>7561</S>;'

if they return<S>7725</S> to you with all their heart<S>3820</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S> in the land<S>776</S> of their captivity<S>7628</S>, where they have carried them captive<S>7617</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> toward<S>1870</S> their land<S>776</S>, which you gave<S>5414</S> to their fathers<S>1</S>, and the city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and toward the house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>:

then hear<S>8085</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, even from your dwelling<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, their prayer<S>8605</S> and their petitions<S>8467</S>, and maintain<S>6213</S> their cause<S>4941</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> your people<S>5971</S> who have sinned against you<S>2398</S>.

"Now<S>430</S>, my God, let<S>5869</S>, I beg you, your eyes be open<S>6605</S>, and let your ears<S>241</S> be attentive<S>7183</S>, to the prayer<S>8605</S> that is made in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
"Now therefore arise<S>6965</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, into your resting<S>5118</S> place<S>727</S>, you, and the ark of your strength<S>5797</S>: let your priests<S>3548</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, be clothed<S>3847</S> with salvation<S>8668</S>, and let your saints<S>2623</S> rejoice<S>8055</S> in goodness<S>2896</S>.


text:
"Yahweh<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, don<S>7725</S>'t turn away the face<S>6440</S> of your anointed<S>4899</S>. Remember<S>2142</S> your loving kindnesses<S>2617</S> to David<S>1732</S> your servant<S>5650</S>."


text:
Now when Solomon<S>8010</S> had made an end<S>3615</S> of praying<S>6419</S>, the fire<S>784</S> came down<S>3381</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> and the sacrifices<S>2077</S>; and the glory<S>3519</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not enter<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, because the glory<S>3519</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> filled<S>4390</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
All the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> looked<S>7200</S> on<S>784</S>, when the fire came down<S>3381</S>, and the glory<S>3519</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was on the house<S>1004</S>; and they bowed<S>3766</S> themselves with their faces<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S> on the pavement<S>7531</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S>, and gave thanks<S>3034</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>2896</S>, "For he is good; for his loving kindness<S>2617</S> endures for ever<S>5769</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>2076</S> a sacrifice<S>2077</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> head of cattle<S>1241</S>, and a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> dedicated<S>2596</S> the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> stood<S>5975</S>, according to their positions<S>4931</S>; the Levites<S>3881</S> also with instruments<S>3627</S> of music<S>7892</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which David<S>1732</S> the king<S>4428</S> had made<S>6213</S> to give thanks<S>3034</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, when David<S>1732</S> praised<S>3034</S> by their ministry<S>3027</S>, saying<S>2617</S> "For his loving kindness endures for ever<S>5769</S>." The priests<S>3548</S> sounded trumpets<S>2690</S> before them<S>3478</S>; and all Israel stood<S>5975</S>.


text:
Moreover Solomon<S>8010</S> made the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>2691</S> holy<S>6942</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for there he offered<S>6213</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>, because the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S> was not able<S>3201</S> to receive<S>3557</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and the meal offering<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> held<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> at that time<S>6256</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>3966</S>, a very great<S>1419</S> assembly<S>6951</S>, from the entrance<S>935</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
On the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> they held<S>6213</S> a solemn assembly<S>6116</S>: for they kept<S>6213</S> the dedication<S>2598</S> of the altar<S>4196</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, and the feast<S>2282</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
On the three<S>7969</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> day<S>3117</S> of the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S> to their tents<S>168</S>, joyful<S>2896</S> and glad<S>8056</S> of heart<S>3820</S> for the goodness<S>2896</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> had shown<S>6213</S> to David<S>1732</S>, and to Solomon<S>8010</S>, and to Israel<S>3478</S> his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Thus Solomon<S>8010</S> finished<S>3615</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and he successfully completed<S>6743</S> all that came<S>935</S> into Solomon<S>8010</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> to make<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and in his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "I have heard your prayer<S>8605</S>, and have chosen<S>977</S> this place<S>4725</S> to myself for a house<S>1004</S> of sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
"If<S>2005</S> I shut up<S>6113</S> the sky<S>8064</S> so that there is no rain<S>4306</S>, or if I command<S>6680</S> the locust<S>2284</S> to devour<S>398</S> the land<S>776</S>, or if I send<S>7971</S> pestilence<S>1698</S> among my people<S>5971</S>;


text:
if my people<S>5971</S>, who are called<S>7121</S> by my name<S>8034</S>, shall humble<S>3665</S> themselves<S>6419</S>, and pray, and seek<S>1245</S> my face<S>6440</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> from their wicked<S>7451</S> ways<S>1870</S>; then will I hear<S>8085</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and will forgive<S>5545</S> their sin<S>2403</S>, and will heal<S>7495</S> their land<S>776</S>.


text:
Now my eyes<S>5869</S> shall be open<S>6605</S>, and my ears<S>241</S> attentive<S>7183</S>, to the prayer<S>8605</S> that is made in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
For now have I chosen<S>977</S> and made this house<S>1004</S> holy<S>6942</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> may be there<S>5704</S> forever<S>5769</S>; and my eyes<S>5869</S> and my heart<S>3820</S> shall be there perpetually<S>3117</S>.


text:
"As for you<S>3212</S>, if you will walk before<S>6440</S> me as David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S> walked<S>3212</S>, and do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>8104</S>, and will keep my statutes<S>2706</S> and my ordinances<S>4941</S>;


text:
then I will establish<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of your kingdom<S>4438</S>, according as I covenanted<S>3772</S> with David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3772</S> 'There shall not fail you a man<S>376</S> to be ruler<S>4910</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.'


text:
But if you turn away<S>7725</S>, and forsake<S>5800</S> my statutes<S>2708</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S> which I have set<S>5414</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>1980</S>, and shall go and serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worship them<S>7812</S>;


text:
then I will pluck them up by the roots<S>5428</S> out of my land<S>127</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> them<S>1004</S>; and this house, which I have made holy<S>6942</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, I will cast out<S>7993</S> of my sight<S>6440</S>, and I will make<S>5414</S> it a proverb<S>4912</S> and a byword<S>8148</S> among all peoples<S>5971</S>.


text:
This house<S>1004</S>, which is so high<S>5945</S>, everyone who passes<S>5674</S> by it shall be astonished<S>8074</S>, and shall say<S>559</S>, <S>3068</S> 'Why has Yahweh done<S>6213</S> thus to this land<S>776</S>, and to this house<S>1004</S>?'


text:
They shall answer<S>559</S>, <S>5800</S> 'Because they abandoned Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, who brought them forth<S>3318</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and took<S>2388</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, worshiped<S>7812</S> them<S>5647</S>, and served them<S>935</S>. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them<S>7451</S>.'"


text:
It happened at the end<S>7093</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>, in which Solomon<S>8010</S> had built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and his own house<S>1004</S>,


text:
that the cities<S>5892</S> which Huram<S>2361</S> had given<S>5414</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> them<S>1121</S>, and caused the children of Israel<S>3478</S> to dwell there<S>3427</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> Tadmor<S>8412</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and all the storage<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S>, which he built<S>1129</S> in Hamath<S>2574</S>.


text:
Also he built<S>1129</S> Beth Horon<S>1032</S> the upper<S>5945</S>, and Beth Horon<S>1032</S> the lower<S>8481</S>, fortified<S>4692</S> cities<S>5892</S>, with walls<S>2346</S>, gates<S>1817</S>, and bars<S>1280</S>;


text:
and Baalath<S>1191</S>, and all the storage<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> had<S>5892</S>, and all the cities for his chariots<S>7393</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> for his horsemen<S>6571</S>, and all that Solomon<S>8010</S> desired<S>2836</S> to build<S>1129</S> for his pleasure in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and in all the land<S>776</S> of his dominion<S>4475</S>.


text:
As for all the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>3498</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the Amorites<S>567</S>, and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, and the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, who were not of Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
of their children<S>1121</S> who were left<S>3498</S> after<S>310</S> them in the land<S>776</S>, whom the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> didn<S>3615</S>'t consume, of them Solomon<S>8010</S> conscripted<S>5927</S> forced labor<S>4522</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>5414</S> no servants<S>5650</S> for his work<S>4399</S>; but they were men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and chief<S>8269</S> of his captains<S>7991</S>, and rulers<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S> and of his horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
These were the chief<S>8269</S> officers<S>5324</S> of king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, even two<S>3967</S> - hundred fifty<S>2572</S>, who ruled<S>7287</S> over the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Pharaoh<S>6547</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> to the house<S>1004</S> that he had built<S>1129</S> for her<S>559</S>; for he said, "My wife<S>802</S> shall not dwell<S>3427</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, because the places where the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> has come<S>935</S> are holy<S>6944</S>."


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> on the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he had built<S>1129</S> before<S>6440</S> the porch<S>197</S>,


text:
even as the duty<S>1697</S> of every day<S>3117</S> required<S>5927</S>, offering according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, on the Sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and on the new moons<S>2320</S>, and on the set feasts<S>4150</S>, three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S> in the year<S>8141</S>, in the feast<S>2282</S> of unleavened bread<S>4682</S>, and in the feast<S>2282</S> of weeks<S>7620</S>, and in the feast<S>2282</S> of tents<S>5521</S>.


text:
He appointed<S>5975</S>, according to the ordinance<S>4941</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>, the divisions<S>4256</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> to their service<S>5656</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> to their offices<S>4931</S>, to praise<S>1984</S>, and to minister<S>8334</S> before the priests<S>3548</S>, as the duty<S>1697</S> of every day<S>3117</S> required<S>3117</S>; the doorkeepers<S>7778</S> also by their divisions<S>4256</S> at every gate<S>8179</S>: for so had David<S>1732</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> commanded<S>4687</S>.


text:
They didn<S>5493</S>'t depart from the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> to the priests<S>3548</S> and Levites<S>3881</S> concerning any matter<S>1697</S>, or concerning the treasures<S>214</S>.


text:
Now all the work<S>4399</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> was prepared<S>3559</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of the foundation<S>4143</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and until it was finished<S>3615</S>. So the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was completed<S>8003</S>.


text:
Then went<S>1980</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> to Ezion Geber<S>6100</S>, and to Eloth<S>359</S>, on the<S>3220</S> seashore<S>8193</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.

Huram<S>2361</S> sent<S>7971</S> him ships<S>591</S> and servants<S>5650</S> who had knowledge<S>3045</S> of the sea<S>3220</S> by the hands<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>; and they came<S>935</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> to Ophir<S>211</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> from there four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
When the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> heard<S>8085</S> of the fame<S>8088</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, she came<S>935</S> to prove<S>5254</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> with hard questions<S>2420</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>3515</S> train<S>2428</S>, and camels<S>1581</S> that bore<S>5375</S> spices<S>1314</S>, and gold<S>2091</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: and when she had come<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, she talked<S>1696</S> with him of all that was in her heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> told<S>5046</S> her all her questions<S>1697</S>; and there was not anything hidden<S>5956</S> from Solomon<S>8010</S> which he didn<S>5046</S>'t tell her.


text:
When the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> had seen<S>7200</S> the wisdom<S>2451</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> that he had built<S>1129</S>,


text:
and the food<S>3978</S> of his table<S>7979</S>, and the sitting<S>4186</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, and the attendance<S>4612</S> of his ministers<S>8334</S>, and their clothing<S>4403</S>, his cup bearers<S>8248</S> also<S>4403</S>, and their clothing, and his ascent<S>5944</S> by which he went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; there was no more spirit in her<S>7307</S>.


text:
However I didn<S>539</S>'t believe their words<S>1697</S>, until I came<S>935</S>, and my eyes<S>5869</S> had seen<S>7200</S> it<S>2677</S>; and behold, the half of the greatness<S>4768</S> of your wisdom<S>2451</S> was not told<S>5046</S> me<S>3254</S>: you exceed the fame<S>8052</S> that I heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
Happy<S>835</S> are your men<S>582</S>, and happy<S>835</S> are these your servants<S>5650</S>, who stand<S>5975</S> continually<S>8548</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>8085</S>, and hear your wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Blessed<S>1288</S> be Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, who delighted<S>2654</S> in you<S>5414</S>, to set you on his throne<S>3678</S>, to be king<S>4428</S> for Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>: because your God<S>430</S> loved<S>160</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, to establish<S>5975</S> them forever<S>5769</S>, therefore made<S>5414</S> he you king<S>4428</S> over them<S>6213</S>, to do justice<S>4941</S> and righteousness<S>6666</S>."


text:
She gave<S>5414</S> the king<S>4428</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and spices<S>1314</S> in great<S>3966</S> abundance<S>7230</S>, and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>: neither was there any such spice<S>1314</S> as the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> gave<S>5414</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
The servants<S>5650</S> also of Huram<S>2361</S>, and the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, who brought<S>935</S> gold<S>2091</S> from Ophir<S>211</S>, brought<S>935</S> algum<S>418</S> trees<S>6086</S> and precious<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> of the algum<S>418</S> trees<S>6086</S> terraces<S>4546</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and for the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and harps<S>3658</S> and stringed instruments<S>5035</S> for the singers<S>7891</S>: and there were none like these<S>1992</S> seen<S>7200</S> before<S>6440</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> to the queen<S>4436</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> all her desire<S>2656</S>, whatever she asked<S>7592</S>, besides that which she had brought<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>. So she turned<S>2015</S>, and went to<S>3212</S> her own land<S>776</S>, she and her servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Now the weight<S>4948</S> of gold<S>2091</S> that came<S>935</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in one<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> was six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and sixty<S>8346</S> - six<S>8337</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>,


text:
besides that which the traders<S>582</S> and merchants<S>5503</S> brought<S>935</S>: and all the kings<S>4428</S> of Arabia<S>6152</S> and the governors<S>6346</S> of the country<S>776</S> brought<S>935</S> gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> bucklers<S>6793</S> of beaten<S>7820</S> gold<S>2091</S>; six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of beaten<S>7820</S> gold<S>2091</S> went<S>5927</S> to one<S>259</S> buckler<S>6793</S>.


text:
He made three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shields<S>4043</S> of beaten<S>7820</S> gold<S>2091</S>; three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of gold<S>2091</S> went<S>5927</S> to one<S>259</S> shield<S>4043</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> them in the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>.


text:
Moreover the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> throne<S>3678</S> of ivory<S>8127</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> it with pure<S>2889</S> gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And there were six<S>8337</S> steps<S>4609</S> to the throne<S>3678</S>, with a footstool<S>3534</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which were fastened<S>270</S> to the throne<S>3678</S>, and stays<S>3027</S> on either side by the place<S>4725</S> of the seat<S>3427</S>, and two<S>8147</S> lions<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> beside<S>681</S> the stays<S>3027</S>.


text:
Twelve<S>8147</S> lions<S>738</S> stood<S>5975</S> there on the one side and on the other on the six<S>8337</S> steps<S>4609</S>: there was nothing like it made<S>6213</S> in any kingdom<S>4467</S>.


text:
All king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>'s drinking<S>4945</S> vessels<S>3627</S> were of gold<S>2091</S>, and all the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S> were of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: silver<S>3701</S> was nothing<S>3972</S> accounted<S>2803</S> of in the days<S>3117</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> had ships<S>591</S> that went<S>1980</S> to Tarshish<S>8659</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of Huram<S>2361</S>; once<S>259</S> every three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> came<S>935</S> the ships<S>591</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S>, bringing<S>5375</S> gold<S>2091</S>, and silver<S>3701</S>, ivory<S>8143</S>, and apes<S>6971</S>, and peacocks<S>8500</S>.


text:
So king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> exceeded<S>1431</S> all the kings<S>4428</S> of the earth<S>776</S> in riches<S>6239</S> and wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
All the kings<S>4428</S> of the earth<S>776</S> sought<S>1245</S> the presence<S>6440</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, to hear<S>8085</S> his wisdom<S>2451</S>, which God<S>430</S> had put<S>5414</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
They brought<S>935</S> every man<S>376</S> his tribute<S>4503</S>, vessels<S>3627</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and clothing<S>8008</S>, armor<S>5402</S>, and spices<S>1314</S>, horses<S>5483</S>, and mules<S>6505</S>, a rate<S>1697</S> year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> had four<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> stalls<S>723</S> for horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>4818</S>, and twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, that he stationed<S>3240</S> in the chariot<S>7393</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and with the king<S>4428</S> at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
He ruled<S>4910</S> over all the kings<S>4428</S> from the River<S>5104</S> even to the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and to the border<S>1366</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> made<S>5414</S> silver<S>3701</S> to be in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> as stones<S>68</S>, and he made<S>5414</S> cedars<S>730</S> to be as the sycamore trees<S>8256</S> that are in the lowland<S>8219</S>, for abundance<S>7230</S>.


text:
They brought<S>3318</S> horses<S>5483</S> for Solomon<S>8010</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and out of all lands<S>776</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>7605</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, first<S>7223</S> and last<S>314</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the history<S>1697</S> of Nathan<S>5416</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>, and in the prophecy<S>5016</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S>, and in the visions<S>2378</S> of Iddo<S>3260</S> the seer<S>2374</S> concerning Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>?


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and he was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Rehoboam<S>7346</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.

Therefore<S>5124</S> seeing<S>1223</S> we have<S>2192</S> this<S>3778</S> ministry<S>1248</S>, even as<S>2531</S> we obtained mercy<S>1653</S>, we don<S>3756</S>'t faint<S>1573</S>.

For<S>1063</S> we don<S>3756</S>'t preach<S>2784</S> ourselves<S>1438</S>, but<S>235</S> Christ<S>5547</S> Jesus<S>2424</S> as Lord<S>2962</S>, and<S>1161</S> ourselves<S>1438</S> as your<S>5216</S> servants<S>1401</S> for<S>1223</S> Jesus<S>2424</S>' sake;

We are pressed<S>2346</S> on<S>1722</S> every side<S>3956</S>, yet<S>235</S> not<S>3756</S> crushed<S>4729</S>; perplexed<S>639</S>, yet<S>235</S> not<S>3756</S> to despair<S>1820</S>;

For<S>1063</S> we<S>2249</S> who live<S>2198</S> are always<S>104</S> delivered<S>3860</S> to<S>1519</S> death<S>2288</S> for<S>1223</S> Jesus<S>2424</S>' sake<S>2443</S>, that the life<S>2222</S> also<S>2532</S> of Jesus<S>2424</S> may be revealed<S>5319</S> in<S>1722</S> our<S>2257</S> mortal<S>2349</S> flesh<S>4561</S>.

So then<S>5620</S> death<S>2288, Ezekiel3</S> works<S>1754</S> in<S>1722</S> us<S>2254</S>, but<S>1161</S> life<S>2222</S> in<S>1722</S> you<S>5213</S>.

For<S>1063</S> our<S>2257</S> light<S>1645</S> affliction<S>2347</S>, which is for the moment<S>3910</S>, works<S>2716</S> for us<S>2254, 2596</S> more and<S>5236</S> more<S>1519</S> exceedingly<S>5236</S> an eternal<S>166</S> weight<S>922</S> of glory<S>1391</S>;

For<S>1063</S> most certainly<S>2532</S> in<S>1722</S> this<S>5129</S> we groan<S>4727</S>, longing<S>1971</S> to be clothed<S>1902</S> with our<S>2257</S> habitation<S>3613</S> which is from<S>1537</S> heaven<S>3772</S>;
