2 Chronicles 1: 1-17

---

1  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² was strengthened²³⁸⁸ in⁵⁹²¹ his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and magnified¹⁴³¹ him exceedingly.⁴⁶⁰⁵

2  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and to the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ and to every³⁶⁰⁵ governor⁵³⁸⁷ in all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers.¹

3  So Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon;¹³⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ was¹⁹⁶¹ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ of God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

4  But⁶¹ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ had David¹⁷³² brought up⁵⁹²⁷ from Kirjath-jearim^{4480 7157} to the place which David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for it: for³⁵⁸⁸ he had pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ a tent¹⁶⁸ for it at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  Moreover the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ Bezaleel¹²¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Uri,²²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hur,²³⁵⁴ had made,⁶²¹³ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ and the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ unto it.

6  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither⁸⁰³³ to⁵⁹²¹ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ was at the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ it.

7  In that¹⁹³¹ night³⁹¹⁵ did God⁴³⁰ appear⁷²⁰⁰ unto Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Ask⁷⁵⁹² what⁴¹⁰⁰ I shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee.

8  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Thou⁸⁵⁹ hast showed⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and hast made me to reign⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

9  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ let thy promise¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father¹ be established:⁵³⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ hast made me king⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ like the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in multitude.⁷²²⁷

10  Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me now⁶²⁵⁸ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge,⁴⁰⁹³ that I may go out³³¹⁸ and come in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ can judge⁸¹⁹⁹ this^{2088 853} thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that is so great?¹⁴¹⁹

11  And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because^{3282 834} this²⁰⁶³ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart,³⁸²⁴ and thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ asked⁷⁵⁹² riches,⁶²³⁹ wealth,⁵²³³ or honor,³⁵¹⁹ nor the life⁵³¹⁵ of thine enemies,⁸¹³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ yet¹⁵⁷¹ hast asked⁷⁵⁹² long life;^{7227 3117} but hast asked⁷⁵⁹² wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ for thyself, that⁸³⁴ thou mayest judge^{8199 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ over⁵⁹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ I have made thee king:⁴⁴²⁷

12  Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ is granted⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thee; and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee riches,⁶²³⁹ and wealth,⁵²³³ and honor,³⁵¹⁹ such as^{834 3651} none³⁸⁰⁸ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ have had¹⁹⁶¹ that⁸³⁴ have been before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall there any after³¹⁰ thee have¹⁹⁶¹ the like.³⁶⁵¹

13  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ from his journey to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Gibeon¹³⁹¹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ from before^{4480 6440} the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

14  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gathered⁶²² chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ which he placed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

15  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as plenteous as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the vale⁸²¹⁹ for abundance.⁷²³⁰

16  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had horses⁵⁴⁸³ brought out⁴¹⁶¹ of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and linen yarn:⁴⁷²³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ merchants⁵⁵⁰³ received³⁹⁴⁷ the linen yarn⁴⁷²³ at a price.⁴²⁴²

17  And they fetched up,⁵⁹²⁷ and brought forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt^{4480 4714} a chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ for six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a horse⁵⁴⁸³ for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty:²⁵⁷² and so³⁶⁵¹ brought they out³³¹⁸ horses for all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and for the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ by their means.³⁰²⁷

2 Chronicles 2: 1-18

---

1  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ determined⁵⁵⁹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸

2  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told out⁵⁶⁰⁸ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ to bear burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand^{505 376} to hew²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ to oversee^{5329 5921} them.

3  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁶⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ As⁸³⁴ thou didst deal⁶²¹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and didst send⁷⁹⁷¹ him cedars⁷³⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ him a house¹⁰⁰⁴ to dwell³⁴²⁷ therein, even so deal with me.

4  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ to the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to dedicate⁶⁹⁴² it to him, and to burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and for the continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ shewbread,⁴⁶³⁵ and for the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ morning¹²⁴² and evening,⁶¹⁵³ on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts⁴¹⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God.⁴³⁰ This²⁰⁶³ is an ordinance forever⁵⁷⁶⁹ to⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  And the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ build¹¹²⁹ is great:¹⁴¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ great¹⁴¹⁹ is our God⁴³⁰ above all^{4480 3605} gods.⁴³⁰

6  But who⁴³¹⁰ is able^{6113 3581} to build¹¹²⁹ him a house,¹⁰⁰⁴ seeing³⁵⁸⁸ the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ him? who⁴³¹⁰ am I⁵⁸⁹ then, that⁸³⁴ I should build¹¹²⁹ him a house,¹⁰⁰⁴ save only^{3588 518} to burn sacrifice⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him?

7  Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore a man³⁷⁶ cunning²⁴⁵⁰ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ and in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and in iron,¹²⁷⁰ and in purple,⁷¹⁰ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and that can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to grave^{6605 6603} with⁵⁹⁷³ the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ that⁸³⁴ are with⁵⁹⁷³ me in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ whom⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² my father¹ did provide.³⁵⁵⁹

8  Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me also cedar⁷³⁰ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ fir trees,¹²⁶⁵ and algum trees,⁴¹⁸ out of Lebanon:^{4480 3844} for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ know³⁰⁴⁵ that⁸³⁴ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to cut³⁷⁷² timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in Lebanon;³⁸⁴⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall be with⁵⁹⁷³ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰

9  Even to prepare³⁵⁵⁹ me timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in abundance:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am about to build¹¹²⁹ shall be wonderful⁶³⁸¹ great.¹⁴¹⁹

10  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ to thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ the hewers²⁴⁰⁴ that cut³⁷⁷² timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of beaten⁴³⁴⁷ wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of oil.⁸⁰⁸¹

11  Then Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre⁶⁸⁶⁵ answered⁵⁵⁹ in writing,³⁷⁹¹ which he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath loved^{160 853} his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he hath made⁵⁴¹⁴ thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ them.

12  Huram²³⁶¹ said⁵⁵⁹ moreover, Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ made^{6213 853} heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and earth,⁷⁷⁶ who⁸³⁴ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ to David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ a wise²⁴⁵⁰ son,¹¹²¹ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with prudence⁷⁹²² and understanding,⁹⁹⁸ that⁸³⁴ might build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸

13  And now⁶²⁵⁸ I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a cunning²⁴⁵⁰ man,³⁷⁶ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with understanding,⁹⁹⁸ of Huram²³⁶¹ my father's,¹

14  The son¹¹²¹ of a woman⁸⁰² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the daughters¹³²³ of Dan,¹⁸³⁵ and his father¹ was a man³⁷⁶ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁷⁶ skillful³⁰⁴⁵ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ in iron,¹²⁷⁰ in stone,⁶⁸ and in timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ in purple,⁷¹³ in blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and in fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and in crimson;³⁷⁵⁸ also to grave⁶⁶⁰⁵ any manner³⁶⁰⁵ of graving,⁶⁶⁰³ and to find out²⁸⁰³ every³⁶⁰⁵ device⁴²⁸⁴ which⁸³⁴ shall be put⁵⁴¹⁴ to him, with⁵⁹⁷³ thy cunning men,²⁴⁵⁰ and with the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ of my lord¹¹³ David¹⁷³² thy father.¹

15  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore the wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and the barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ the oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and the wine,³¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ my lord¹¹³ hath spoken⁵⁵⁹ of, let him send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto his servants:⁵⁶⁵⁰

16  And we⁵⁸⁷ will cut³⁷⁷² wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ as much as thou³⁶⁰⁵ shalt need:⁶⁸⁷⁸ and we will bring⁹³⁵ it to thee in floats⁷⁵¹³ by⁵⁹²¹ sea³²²⁰ to Joppa;³³⁰⁵ and thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt carry it up^{5927 853} to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

17  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the strangers^{376 1616} that⁸³⁴ were in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ after³¹⁰ the numbering⁵⁶¹⁰ wherewith⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² his father¹ had numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ them; and they were found⁴⁶⁷² a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

18  And he set⁶²¹³ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them to be bearers of burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ to be hewers²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ overseers⁵³²⁹ to set^{5647 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ a work.

2 Chronicles 3: 1-17

1  Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ began²⁴⁹⁰ to build^{1129 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in mount²⁰²² Moriah,⁴¹⁷⁹ where⁸³⁴ the LORD appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto David¹⁷³² his father,¹ in the place⁴⁷²⁵ that⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ in the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ of Ornan⁷⁷¹ the Jebusite.²⁹⁸³

2  And he began²⁴⁹⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ in the fourth⁷⁰² year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴³⁸

3  Now these⁴²⁸ are the things wherein Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was instructed³²⁴⁵ for the building^{1129 853} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ The length⁷⁵³ by cubits⁵²⁰ after the first⁷²²³ measure⁴⁰⁶⁰ was threescore⁸³⁴⁶ cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits.⁵²⁰

4  And the porch¹⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ was in⁵⁹²¹ the front⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the house, the length⁷⁵³ of it was according to^{5921 6440} the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the height¹³⁶³ was a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty:⁶²⁴² and he overlaid⁶⁸²³ it within^{4480 6441} with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹

5  And the greater¹⁴¹⁹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ he ceiled²⁶⁴⁵ with fir¹²⁶⁵ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ which he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and set⁵⁹²⁷ thereon⁵⁹²¹ palm trees⁸⁵⁶¹ and chains.⁸³³³

6  And he garnished^{6823 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ with precious³³⁶⁸ stones⁶⁸ for beauty:⁸⁵⁹⁷ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ was gold²⁰⁹¹ of Parvaim.⁶⁵¹⁶

7  He overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ also ⁸⁵³ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the beams,⁶⁹⁸² the posts,⁵⁵⁹² and the walls⁷⁰²³ thereof, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof, with gold;²⁰⁹¹ and graved⁶⁶⁰⁵ cherubims³⁷⁴² on⁵⁹²¹ the walls.⁷⁰²³

8  And he made^{6213 853} the most holy^{6944 6944} house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the length⁷⁵³ whereof was according to^{5921 6440} the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ it with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ amounting to six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents.³⁶⁰³

9  And the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the nails⁴⁵⁴⁸ was fifty²⁵⁷² shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of gold.²⁰⁹¹ And he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ the upper chambers⁵⁹⁴⁴ with gold.²⁰⁹¹

10  And in the most holy^{6944 6944} house¹⁰⁰⁴ he made⁶²¹³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² of image⁶⁸¹⁶ work,⁴⁶³⁹ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ them with gold.²⁰⁹¹

11  And the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims³⁷⁴² were twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ long:⁷⁵³ one²⁵⁹ wing³⁶⁷¹ of the one cherub was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was likewise five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²

12  And one wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other²⁵⁹ cherub³⁷⁴² was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ also, joining¹⁶⁹⁵ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²

13  The wings³⁶⁷¹ of these⁴²⁸ cherubims³⁷⁴² spread themselves forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and they¹⁹⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ their feet,⁷²⁷² and their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴

14  And he made^{6213 853} the veil⁶⁵³² of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and purple,⁷¹³ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and wrought⁵⁹²⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² thereon.⁵⁹²¹

15  Also he made⁶²¹³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars⁵⁹⁸² of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁷⁵³ and the chapiter⁶⁸⁵⁸ that⁸³⁴ was on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of each of them was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits.⁵²⁰

16  And he made⁶²¹³ chains,⁸³³³ as in the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on⁵⁹²¹ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸² and made⁶²¹³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates,⁷⁴¹⁶ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on the chains.⁸³³³

17  And he reared up^{6965 853} the pillars⁵⁹⁸² before^{5921 6440} the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ one²⁵⁹ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and the other²⁵⁹ on the left;^{4480 8040} and called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the right hand³²²⁷ Jachin,³¹⁹⁹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the left⁸⁰⁴² Boaz.¹¹⁶²

2 Chronicles 4: 1-22

1  Moreover he made⁶²¹³ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the length⁷⁵³ thereof, and twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof, and ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof.

2  Also he made^{6213 853} a molten³³³² sea³²²⁰ of ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ from brim^{4480 8193} to⁴¹³ brim,⁸¹⁹³ round⁵⁶⁹⁶ in compass,⁵⁴³⁹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof; and a line⁶⁹⁵⁷ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ cubits⁵²⁰ did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about.⁵⁴³⁹

3  And under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it was the similitude¹⁸²³ of oxen,¹²⁴¹ which did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about:^{5439 5439} ten⁶²³⁵ in a cubit,⁵²⁰ compassing^{5362 853} the sea³²²⁰ round about.⁵⁴³⁹ Two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of oxen¹²⁴¹ were cast,³³³² when it was cast.⁴¹⁶⁶

4  It stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ twelve^{8147 6240} oxen,¹²⁴¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the west,³²²⁰ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the east:⁴²¹⁷ and the sea³²²⁰ was set above^{4480 4605} upon⁵⁹²¹ them, and all³⁶⁰⁵ their hinder parts²⁶⁸ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴

5  And the thickness⁵⁶⁷² of it was a handbreadth,²⁹⁴⁷ and the brim⁸¹⁹³ of it like the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the brim⁸¹⁹³ of a cup,³⁵⁶³ with flowers⁶⁵²⁵ of lilies;⁷⁷⁹⁹ and it received²³⁸⁸ and held³⁵⁵⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths.¹³²⁴

6  He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ lavers,³⁵⁹⁵ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left,^{4480 8040} to wash⁷³⁶⁴ in them: ⁸⁵³ such things as they offered⁴⁶³⁹ for the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ they washed¹⁷⁴⁰ in them; but the sea³²²⁰ was for the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ in.

7  And he made^{6213 853} ten⁶²³⁵ candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ according to their form,⁴⁹⁴¹ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.^{4480 8040}

8  He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ tables,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and placed⁵¹¹⁷ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right side,^{4480 3225} and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.^{4480 8040} And he made⁶²¹³ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ basins⁴²¹⁹ of gold.²⁰⁹¹

9  Furthermore he made⁶²¹³ the court²⁶⁹¹ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the great¹⁴¹⁹ court,⁵⁸³⁵ and doors¹⁸¹⁷ for the court,⁵⁸³⁵ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of them with brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

10  And he set⁵⁴¹⁴ the sea³²²⁰ on the right³²³³ side^{4480 3802} of the east end,⁶⁹²⁴ over against^{4480 4136} the south.⁵⁰⁴⁵

11  And Huram²³⁶¹ made^{6213 853} the pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the basins.⁴²¹⁹ And Huram²³⁶¹ finished the work^{3615 6213 853 4399} that⁸³⁴ he was to make⁶²¹³ for king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God;⁴³⁰

12  To wit, the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the pommels,¹⁵⁴³ and the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which were on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths⁷⁶³⁹ to cover^{3680 853} the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ were on⁵⁹²¹ the top⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸²

13  And four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths;⁷⁶³⁹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on each²⁵⁹ wreath,⁷⁶³⁹ to cover^{3680 853} the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ were upon^{5921 6440} the pillars.⁵⁹⁸²

14  He made⁶²¹³ also bases,⁴³⁵⁰ and lavers³⁵⁹⁵ made⁶²¹³ he upon⁵⁹²¹ the bases;⁴³⁵⁰

15  ⁸⁵³ One²⁵⁹ sea,³²²⁰ and twelve^{8147 6240} oxen¹²⁴¹ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it.

16  The pots⁵⁵¹⁸ also, and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the fleshhooks,⁴²⁰⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ their instruments,³⁶²⁷ did Huram²³⁶¹ his father¹ make⁶²¹³ to king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of bright⁴⁸³⁸ brass.⁵¹⁷⁸

17  In the plain³⁶⁰³ of Jordan³³⁸³ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ cast³³³² them, in the clay⁴⁵⁶⁸ ground¹²⁷ between⁹⁹⁶ Succoth⁵⁵²³ and Zeredathah.⁶⁸⁶⁸

18  Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ vessels³⁶²⁷ in great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance:⁷²³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ could not³⁸⁰⁸ be found out.²⁷¹³

19  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ were for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ the golden²⁰⁹¹ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ also, and the tables⁷⁹⁷⁹ whereon⁵⁹²¹ the shewbread^{3899 6440} was set;

20  Moreover the candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ with their lamps,⁵²¹⁶ that they should burn¹¹⁹⁷ after the manner⁴⁹⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold;²⁰⁹¹

21  And the flowers,⁶⁵²⁵ and the lamps,⁵²¹⁶ and the tongs,⁴⁴⁵⁷ made he of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and that¹⁹³¹ perfect⁴³⁵⁷ gold;²⁰⁹¹

22  And the snuffers,⁴²¹² and the basins,⁴²¹⁹ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and the censers,⁴²⁸⁹ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ and the entry⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the inner⁶⁴⁴² doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof for the most holy^{6944 6944} place, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ were of gold.²⁰⁹¹

2 Chronicles 5: 1-14

1  Thus all³⁶⁰⁵ the work⁴³⁹⁹ that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was finished:⁷⁹⁹⁹ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought in^{935 853} all the things⁶⁹⁴⁴ that David¹⁷³² his father¹ had dedicated;⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the instruments,³⁶²⁷ put⁵⁴¹⁴ he among the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

2  Then²²⁷ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ assembled^{6950 853} the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the tribes,⁴²⁹⁴ the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of the fathers¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto⁴¹³ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to bring up^{5927 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ out of the city^{4480 5892} of David,¹⁷³² which¹⁹³¹ is Zion.⁶⁷²⁶

3  Wherefore all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ assembled themselves⁶⁹⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the feast²²⁸² which¹⁹³¹ was in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month.²³²⁰

4  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came;⁹³⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ took up^{5375 853} the ark.⁷²⁷

5  And they brought up^{5927 853} the ark,⁷²⁷ and the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ vessels³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ were in the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ these did the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ bring up.⁵⁹²⁷

6  Also king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were assembled³²⁵⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark,⁷²⁷ sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen,¹²⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ be told⁵⁶⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ numbered⁴⁴⁸⁷ for multitude.^{4480 7230}

7  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ brought in^{935 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ his place,⁴⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ the oracle¹⁶⁸⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ into⁴¹³ the most holy^{6944 6944} place, even under^{413 8478} the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims:³⁷⁴²

8  For the cherubims³⁷⁴² spread forth^{1961 6566} their wings³⁶⁷¹ over⁵⁹²¹ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the ark,⁷²⁷ and the cherubims³⁷⁴² covered^{3680 5921} the ark⁷²⁷ and the staves⁹⁰⁵ thereof above.^{4480 4605}

9  And they drew out⁷⁴⁸ the staves⁹⁰⁵ of the ark, that the ends⁷²¹⁸ of the staves⁹⁰⁵ were seen⁷²⁰⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ before^{5921 6440} the oracle;¹⁶⁸⁷ but they were not³⁸⁰⁸ seen⁷²⁰⁰ without.²³⁵¹ And there⁸⁰³³ it is¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

10  There was nothing³⁶⁹ in the ark⁷²⁷ save⁷⁵³⁵ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ tables³⁸⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² put⁵⁴¹⁴ therein at Horeb,²⁷²² when⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ made³⁷⁷² a covenant with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when they came out³³¹⁸ of Egypt.^{4480 4714}

11  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the priests³⁵⁴⁸ were come out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place: (for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² were sanctified,⁶⁹⁴² and did not³⁶⁹ then wait⁸¹⁰⁴ by course:⁴²⁵⁶

12  Also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ which were the singers,⁷⁸⁹¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ of them of Asaph,⁶²³ of Heman,¹⁹⁶⁸ of Jeduthun,³⁰³⁸ with their sons¹¹²¹ and their brethren,²⁵¹ being arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ in white linen,⁹⁴⁸ having cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ and harps,³⁶⁵⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at the east end⁴²¹⁷ of the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounding²⁶⁹⁰ with trumpets:)²⁶⁸⁹

13  It came even to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as the trumpeters²⁶⁹⁰ and singers⁷⁸⁹¹ were as one,²⁵⁹ to make one²⁵⁹ sound⁶⁹⁶³ to be heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in praising¹⁹⁸⁴ and thanking³⁰³⁴ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and when they lifted up⁷³¹¹ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ with the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ and cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and instruments³⁶²⁷ of music,⁷⁸⁹² and praised¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For³⁵⁸⁸ he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ that then the house¹⁰⁰⁴ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ even the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸

14  So that the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to minister⁸³³⁴ by reason of^{4480 6440} the cloud:⁶⁰⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled^{4390 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

2 Chronicles 6: 1-42

---

1  Then²²⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said⁵⁵⁹ that he would dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the thick darkness.⁶²⁰⁵

2  But I⁵⁸⁹ have built¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ of habitation²⁰⁷³ for thee, and a place⁴³⁴⁹ for thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned^{5437 853} his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and blessed^{1288 853} the whole³⁶⁰⁵ congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵

4  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who hath with his hands³⁰²⁷ fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ that which⁸³⁴ he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ with his mouth⁶³¹⁰ to⁸⁵⁴ my father¹ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹

5  Since⁴⁴⁸⁰ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I brought forth^{3318 853} my people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ I chose⁹⁷⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ city⁵⁸⁹² among all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ in, that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ neither³⁸⁰⁸ chose⁹⁷⁷ I any man³⁷⁶ to be¹⁹⁶¹ a ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸

6  But I have chosen⁹⁷⁷ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ there;⁸⁰³³ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ David¹⁷³² to be¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  Now it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ the heart³⁸²⁴ of David¹⁷³² my father¹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

8  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ Forasmuch^{3588 834} as it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ thou didst well²⁸⁹⁵ in that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart:³⁸²⁴

9  Notwithstanding⁷⁵³⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ build¹¹²⁹ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ but³⁵⁸⁸ thy son¹¹²¹ which shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ thy loins,²⁵⁰⁴ he¹⁹³¹ shall build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name.⁸⁰³⁴

10  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ therefore hath performed^{6965 853} his word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ he hath spoken:¹⁶⁹⁶ for I am risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the room⁸⁴⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and am set³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ promised,¹⁶⁹⁶ and have built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

11  And in it⁸⁰³³ have I put^{7760 853} the ark,⁷²⁷ wherein^{834 8033} is the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ he made³⁷⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

12  And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the presence of⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands:³⁷⁰⁹

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ a brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ scaffold,³⁵⁹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ long,⁷⁵³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ broad,⁷³⁴¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁶⁹⁶⁷ and had set⁵⁴¹⁴ it in the midst⁸⁴³² of the court:⁵⁸³⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ it he stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and kneeled down¹²⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ his knees¹²⁹⁰ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴

14  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ God⁴³⁰ like thee³⁶⁴⁴ in the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ nor in the earth;⁷⁷⁶ which keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and showest mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their hearts:³⁸²⁰

15  Thou which⁸³⁴ hast kept⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him; and spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it with thine hand,³⁰²⁷ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that which⁸³⁴ thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ in my sight^{4480 6440} to sit³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ yet so⁷⁵³⁵ that thy children¹¹²¹ take heed^{8104 853} to their way¹⁸⁷⁰ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ as⁸³⁴ thou hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.

17  Now⁶²⁵⁸ then, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ which⁸³⁴ thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David.¹⁷³²

18  But³⁵⁸⁸ will God⁴³⁰ in very deed⁵⁵² dwell³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ men¹²⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ the earth?⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ thee; how much less⁶³⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built!¹¹²⁹

19  Have respect⁶⁴³⁷ therefore to⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to⁴¹³ his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ and the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee:

20  That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be¹⁹⁶¹ open⁶⁶⁰⁵ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ day³¹¹⁹ and night,³⁹¹⁵ upon⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ whereof⁸³⁴ thou hast said⁵⁵⁹ that thou wouldest put⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ there;⁸⁰³³ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

21  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore unto⁴¹³ the supplications⁸⁴⁶⁹ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ they shall make⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place:⁴⁷²⁵ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4725} even from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and when thou hearest,⁸⁰⁸⁵ forgive.⁵⁵⁴⁵

22  If⁵¹⁸ a man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and an oath⁴²³ be laid⁵³⁷⁵ upon him to make him swear,⁴²² and the oath⁴²³ come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

23  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and do,⁶²¹³ and judge^{8199 853} thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ by requiting⁷⁷²⁵ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ by recompensing⁵⁴¹⁴ his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon his own head;⁷²¹⁸ and by justifying⁶⁶⁶³ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² by giving⁵⁴¹⁴ him according to his righteousness.⁶⁶⁶⁶

24  And if⁵¹⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; and shall return⁷⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee in this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

25  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ to them and to their fathers.¹

26  When the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ is shut up,⁶¹¹³ and there is¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; yet if they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their sin,^{4480 2403} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou dost afflict⁶⁰³¹ them;

27  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taught³³⁸⁴ them the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein⁸³⁴ they should walk;¹⁹⁸⁰ and send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ for an inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹

28  If³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ blasting,⁷⁷¹¹ or mildew,³⁴²⁰ locusts,⁶⁹⁷ or caterpillars;²⁶²⁵ if³⁵⁸⁸ their enemies³⁴¹ besiege⁶⁸⁸⁷ them in the cities⁸¹⁷⁹ of their land;⁷⁷⁶ whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sore⁵⁰⁶¹ or whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sickness⁴²⁴⁵ there be:

29  Then what³⁶⁰⁵ prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ or what³⁶⁰⁵ supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ soever⁸³⁴ shall be made¹⁹⁶¹ of any³⁶⁰⁵ man,¹²⁰ or of all³⁶⁰⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when⁸³⁴ every one³⁷⁶ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ his own sore⁵⁰⁶¹ and his own grief,⁴³⁴¹ and shall spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

30  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and forgive,⁵⁵⁴⁵ and render⁵⁴¹⁴ unto every man³⁷⁶ according unto all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,^{1870 853} whose heart³⁸²⁴ thou knowest;³⁰⁴⁵ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ only⁹⁰⁵ knowest^{3045 853} the hearts³⁸²⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of men:)¹²⁰

31  That⁴⁶¹⁶ they may fear³³⁷² thee, to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in thy ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ so long^{3605 3117} as⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² live²⁴¹⁶ in^{5921 6440} the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers.¹

32  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ concerning⁴¹³ the stranger,⁵²³⁷ which⁸³⁴ is not³⁸⁰⁸ of thy people^{4480 5971} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ but is come⁹³⁵ from a far⁷³⁵⁰ country^{4480 776} for thy great name's sake,^{4616 1419 8034} and thy mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and thy stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm;²²²⁰ if they come⁹³⁵ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ in⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

33  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349} and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the stranger⁵²³⁷ calleth⁷¹²¹ to⁴¹³ thee for; that⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know^{3045 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and fear³³⁷² thee, as doth thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ is called⁷¹²¹ by thy name.⁸⁰³⁴

34  If³⁵⁸⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ go out³³¹⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ their enemies³⁴¹ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that⁸³⁴ thou shalt send⁷⁹⁷¹ them, and they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee toward¹⁸⁷⁰ this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name;⁸⁰³⁴

35  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens^{8064 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause.⁴⁹⁴¹

36  If³⁵⁸⁸ they sin²³⁹⁸ against thee, (for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ man¹²⁰ which⁸³⁴ sinneth²³⁹⁸ not,)³⁸⁰⁸ and thou be angry⁵⁹⁹ with them, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them over before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ and they carry them away captives^{7617 7617} unto⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ far off⁷³⁵⁰ or¹⁷⁶ near;⁷¹³⁸

37  Yet if they bethink themselves^{7725 413 3824} in the land⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} they are carried captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ and pray²⁶⁰³ unto⁴¹³ thee in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ we have done amiss,⁵⁷⁵³ and have dealt wickedly;⁷⁵⁶¹

38  If they return⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁰ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul⁵³¹⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ whither⁸³⁴ they have carried them captives,^{7617 853} and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ their land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers,¹ and toward the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and toward the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

39  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,^{4480 4349 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplications,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause,⁴⁹⁴¹ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

40  Now,⁶²⁵⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ let, I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ be¹⁹⁶¹ open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and let thine ears²⁴¹ be attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

41  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ into thy resting place,⁵¹¹⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and the ark⁷²⁷ of thy strength:⁵⁷⁹⁷ let thy priests,³⁵⁴⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ be clothed³⁸⁴⁷ with salvation,⁸⁶⁶⁸ and let thy saints²⁶²³ rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in goodness.²⁸⁹⁶

42  O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ turn not away^{7725 408} the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of thine anointed:⁴⁸⁹⁹ remember²¹⁴² the mercies²⁶¹⁷ of David¹⁷³² thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

2 Chronicles 7: 1-22

---

1  Now when Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of praying,⁶⁴¹⁹ the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down³³⁸¹ from heaven,^{4480 8064} and consumed³⁹⁸ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and the sacrifices;²⁰⁷⁷ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ filled^{4390 853} the house.¹⁰⁰⁴

2  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ enter⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled^{4390 853} the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

3  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ how the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down,³³⁸¹ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they bowed³⁷⁶⁶ themselves with their faces⁶³⁹ to the ground⁷⁷⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the pavement,⁷⁵³¹ and worshiped,⁷⁸¹² and praised³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For³⁵⁸⁸ he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

4  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ offered²⁰⁷⁶ sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered^{2076 853} a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ of twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ oxen,¹²⁴¹ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ so the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ dedicated^{2596 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

6  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ waited⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ their offices:⁴⁹³¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ also with instruments³⁶²⁷ of music⁷⁸⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ had made⁶²¹³ to praise³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ when David¹⁷³² praised¹⁹⁸⁴ by their ministry;³⁰²⁷ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded²⁶⁹⁰ trumpets before⁵⁰⁴⁸ them, and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵

7  Moreover Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ hallowed^{6942 853} the middle⁸⁴³² of the court²⁶⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ he offered⁶²¹³ burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² because³⁵⁸⁸ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ was not able^{3201 3808} to receive^{3557 853} the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and the fat.²⁴⁵⁹

8  Also at the same¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ kept^{6213 853} the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ from the entering in^{4480 935} of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

9  And in the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ they made⁶²¹³ a solemn assembly:⁶¹¹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they kept⁶²¹³ the dedication²⁵⁹⁸ of the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.³¹¹⁷

10  And on the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ and twentieth⁶²⁴² day³¹¹⁷ of the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month²³²⁰ he sent^{7971 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ away into their tents,¹⁶⁸ glad⁸⁰⁵⁶ and merry²⁸⁹⁶ in heart³⁸²⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ the goodness²⁸⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had showed⁶²¹³ unto David,¹⁷³² and to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and to Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ finished^{3615 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that came⁹³⁵ into⁵⁹²¹ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ to make⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and in his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he prosperously effected.⁶⁷⁴³

12  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ to⁴¹³ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I have heard^{8085 853} thy prayer,⁸⁶⁰⁵ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ this²⁰⁸⁸ place⁴⁷²⁵ to myself for a house¹⁰⁰⁴ of sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷

13  If²⁰⁰⁵ I shut up⁶¹¹³ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ that there be¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ or if²⁰⁰⁵ I command^{6680 5921} the locusts²²⁸⁴ to devour³⁹⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ or if⁵¹⁸ I send⁷⁹⁷¹ pestilence¹⁶⁹⁸ among my people;⁵⁹⁷¹

14  If my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ are called^{7121 5921} by my name,⁸⁰³⁴ shall humble themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ and pray,⁶⁴¹⁹ and seek¹²⁴⁵ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ ways;^{4480 1870} then will I⁵⁸⁹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and will forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ their sin,²⁴⁰³ and will heal^{7495 853} their land.⁷⁷⁶

15  Now⁶²⁵⁸ mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and mine ears²⁴¹ attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

16  For now⁶²⁵⁸ have I chosen⁹⁷⁷ and sanctified^{6942 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ may be¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁰³³ forever:^{5704 5769} and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and mine heart³⁸²⁰ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ there⁸⁰³³ perpetually.^{3605 3117}

17  And as for thee,⁸⁵⁹ if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, as⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² thy father¹ walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee, and shalt observe⁸¹⁰⁴ my statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and my judgments;⁴⁹⁴¹

18  Then will I establish^{6965 853} the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of thy kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ according as⁸³⁴ I have covenanted³⁷⁷² with David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ to be ruler⁴⁹¹⁰ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

19  But if⁵¹⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ turn away,⁷⁷²⁵ and forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ my statutes²⁷⁰⁸ and my commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worship⁷⁸¹² them;

20  Then will I pluck them up by the roots⁵⁴²⁸ out of^{4480 5921} my land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them; and this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have sanctified⁶⁹⁴² for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ will I cast out⁷⁹⁹³ of^{4480 5921} my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and will make⁵⁴¹⁴ it to be a proverb⁴⁹¹² and a byword⁸¹⁴⁸ among all³⁶⁰⁵ nations.⁵⁹⁷¹

21  And this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ is¹⁹⁶¹ high,⁵⁹⁴⁵ shall be an astonishment⁸⁰⁷⁴ to every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ it; so that he shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ done⁶²¹³ thus³⁶⁰² unto this²⁰⁶³ land,⁷⁷⁶ and unto this²⁰⁸⁸ house?¹⁰⁰⁴

22  And it shall be answered,⁵⁵⁹ Because^{5921 834} they forsook^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ which⁸³⁴ brought them forth³³¹⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and laid hold²³⁸⁸ on other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² them, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them: therefore^{5921 3651} hath he brought^{935 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

2 Chronicles 8: 1-18

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end^{4480 7093} of twenty⁶²⁴² years,⁸¹⁴¹ wherein⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴

2  That the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ Huram²⁴³⁸ had restored⁵⁴¹⁴ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ built¹¹²⁹ them, and caused ⁸⁵³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to dwell³⁴²⁷ there.⁸⁰³³

3  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Hamath-zobah,²⁵⁷⁸ and prevailed²³⁸⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ it.

4  And he built^{1129 853} Tadmor⁸⁴¹² in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ he built¹¹²⁹ in Hamath.²⁵⁷⁴

5  Also he built^{1129 853} Beth-horon¹⁰³² the upper,⁵⁹⁴⁵ and Beth-horon¹⁰³² the nether,⁸⁴⁸¹ fenced⁴⁶⁹² cities,⁵⁸⁹² with walls,²³⁴⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars;¹²⁸⁰

6  And Baalath,¹¹⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had,¹⁹⁶¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ desired^{2837 2836} to build¹¹²⁹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of his dominion.⁴⁴⁷⁵

7  As for all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were left³⁴⁹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and the Perizzites,⁶⁵²² and the Hivites,²³⁴⁰ and the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ which⁸³⁴ were not³⁸⁰⁸ of Israel,^{4480 3478}

8  But of⁴⁴⁸⁰ their children,¹¹²¹ who⁸³⁴ were left³⁴⁹⁸ after³¹⁰ them in the land,⁷⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ consumed³⁶¹⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ them did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make to pay⁵⁹²⁷ tribute⁴⁵²² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

9  But of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make⁵⁴¹⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for his work;⁴³⁹⁹ but³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ and chief⁸²⁶⁹ of his captains,⁷⁹⁹¹ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of his chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen.⁶⁵⁷¹

10  And these⁴²⁸ were the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ officers,⁵³²⁴ even two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty,²⁵⁷² that bore rule⁷²⁸⁷ over the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

11  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ out of the city^{4480 5892} of David¹⁷³² unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built¹¹²⁹ for her: for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ My wife⁸⁰² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ dwell³⁴²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ the places are holy,⁶⁹⁴⁴ whereunto^{834 413} the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath come.⁹³⁵

12  Then²²⁷ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ on⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he had built¹¹²⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the porch,¹⁹⁷

13  Even after a certain rate¹⁶⁹⁷ every day,^{3117 3117} offering⁵⁹²⁷ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times⁶⁴⁷¹ in the year,⁸¹⁴¹ even in the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread,⁴⁶⁸² and in the feast²²⁸² of weeks,⁷⁶²⁰ and in the feast²²⁸² of tabernacles.⁵⁵²¹

14  And he appointed,⁵⁹⁷⁵ according to the order⁴⁹⁴¹ of David¹⁷³² his father,^{1 853} the courses⁴²⁵⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ their service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to⁵⁹²¹ their charges,⁴⁹³¹ to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ and minister⁸³³⁴ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ as the duty¹⁶⁹⁷ of every day required:^{3117 3117} the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ also by their courses⁴²⁵⁶ at every gate:^{8179 8179} for³⁵⁸⁸ so³⁶⁵¹ had David¹⁷³² the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ commanded.⁴⁶⁸⁷

15  And they departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and Levites³⁸⁸¹ concerning any³⁶⁰⁵ matter,¹⁶⁹⁷ or concerning the treasures.²¹⁴

16  Now all³⁶⁰⁵ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was prepared³⁵⁵⁹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the day³¹¹⁷ of the foundation⁴¹⁴³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and until⁵⁷⁰⁴ it was finished.³⁶¹⁵ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was perfected.⁸⁰⁰³

17  Then²²⁷ went¹⁹⁸⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Ezion-geber,⁶¹⁰⁰ and to⁴¹³ Eloth,³⁵⁹ at⁵⁹²¹ the sea³²²⁰ side⁸¹⁹³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom.¹²³

18  And Huram²³⁶¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him by the hands³⁰²⁷ of his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ ships,⁵⁹¹ and servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ of the sea;³²²⁰ and they went⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Ophir,²¹¹ and took³⁹⁴⁷ thence^{4480 8033} four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ them to⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

2 Chronicles 9: 1-31

---

1  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ heard^{8085 853} of the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she came⁹³⁵ to prove^{5254 853} Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ with hard questions²⁴²⁰ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹⁵ company,²⁴²⁸ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ that bore⁵³⁷⁵ spices,¹³¹⁴ and gold²⁰⁹¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ him ⁸⁵³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ her heart.³⁸²⁴

2  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ her questions:¹⁶⁹⁷ and there was nothing^{3808 1697} hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from Solomon^{4480 8010} which⁸³⁴ he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her not.³⁸⁰⁸

3  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ had seen^{7200 853} the wisdom²⁴⁵¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built,¹¹²⁹

4  And the meat³⁹⁷⁸ of his table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the sitting⁴¹⁸⁶ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the attendance⁴⁶¹² of his ministers,⁸³³⁴ and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ his cupbearers⁴⁹⁴⁵ also, and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ and his ascent⁵⁹⁴⁴ by which⁸³⁴ he went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in her.

5  And she said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ It was a true⁵⁷¹ report¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in mine own land⁷⁷⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ thine acts,¹⁶⁹⁷ and of⁵⁹²¹ thy wisdom:²⁴⁵¹

6  Howbeit I believed⁵³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their words,¹⁶⁹⁷ until^{5704 834} I came,⁹³⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ it: and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the one half²⁶⁷⁷ of the greatness⁴⁷⁶⁸ of thy wisdom²⁴⁵¹ was not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: for thou exceedest^{3254 5921} the fame⁸⁰⁵² that⁸³⁴ I heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

7  Happy⁸³⁵ are thy men,³⁷⁶ and happy⁸³⁵ are these⁴²⁸ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and hear^{8085 853} thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

8  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ delighted²⁶⁵⁴ in thee to set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ to be king⁴⁴²⁸ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God:⁴³⁰ because thy God⁴³⁰ loved^{160 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to establish⁵⁹⁷⁵ them forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ therefore made⁵⁴¹⁴ he thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ them, to do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice.⁶⁶⁶⁶

9  And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of spices¹³¹⁴ great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ there any such¹⁹³¹ spice¹³¹⁴ as⁸³⁴ the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

10  And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ of Huram,²⁴³⁸ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ which⁸³⁴ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ from Ophir,^{4480 211} brought⁹³⁵ algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones.⁶⁸

11  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{6213 853} of the algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ terraces⁴⁵⁴⁶ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ palace,¹⁰⁰⁴ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ for singers:⁷⁸⁹¹ and there were none³⁸⁰⁸ such¹⁹⁹² seen⁷²⁰⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

12  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba^{7614 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ her desire,²⁶⁵⁶ whatsoever⁸³⁴ she asked,⁷⁵⁹² beside^{4480 905} that which⁸³⁴ she had brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸ So she turned,²⁰¹⁵ and went away¹⁹⁸⁰ to her own land,⁷⁷⁶ she¹⁹³¹ and her servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

13  Now the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and six⁸³³⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of gold;²⁰⁹¹

14  Beside⁹⁰⁵ that which chapmen^{4480 376 8446} and merchants⁵⁵⁰³ brought.⁹³⁵ And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Arabia⁶¹⁵² and governors⁶³⁴⁶ of the country⁷⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver³⁷⁰¹ to Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

15  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ targets⁶⁷⁹³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ target.⁶⁷⁹³

16  And three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shields⁴⁰⁴³ made he of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ shield.⁴⁰⁴³ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon.³⁸⁴⁴

17  Moreover the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ a great¹⁴¹⁹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ of ivory,⁸¹²⁷ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ it with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹

18  And there were six⁸³³⁷ steps⁴⁶⁰⁹ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ with a footstool³⁵³⁴ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ which were fastened²⁷⁰ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and stays³⁰²⁷ on each side^{4480 2088 4480 2088} of⁵⁹²¹ the sitting⁷⁶⁷⁵ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ lions⁷³⁸ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁶⁸¹ the stays:³⁰²⁷

19  And twelve^{8147 6240} lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ there⁸⁰³³ on the one side^{4480 2088} and on the other^{4480 2088} upon⁵⁹²¹ the six⁸³³⁷ steps.⁴⁶⁰⁹ There was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like³⁶⁵¹ made⁶²¹³ in any³⁶⁰⁵ kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

20  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the drinking⁴⁹⁴⁵ vessels³⁶²⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ were of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ none³⁶⁹ were of silver;³⁷⁰¹ it was not any thing³⁹⁷² accounted²⁸⁰³ of in the days³¹¹⁷ of Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ ships⁵⁹¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Huram:²³⁶¹ every three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ once²⁵⁹ came⁹³⁵ the ships⁵⁹¹ of Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ bringing⁵³⁷⁵ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ ivory,⁸¹⁴³ and apes,⁶⁹⁷¹ and peacocks.⁸⁵⁰⁰

22  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ passed¹⁴³¹ all^{4480 3605} the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in riches⁶²³⁹ and wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

23  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ sought^{1245 853} the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ to hear^{8085 853} his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ had put⁵⁴¹⁴ in his heart.³⁸²⁰

24  And they¹⁹⁹² brought⁹³⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his present,⁴⁵⁰³ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁰⁰⁸ harness,⁵⁴⁰² and spices,¹³¹⁴ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ a rate¹⁶⁹⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year.⁸¹⁴¹

25  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had¹⁹⁶¹ four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ stalls⁷²³ for horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots,⁴⁸¹⁸ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen;⁶⁵⁷¹ whom he bestowed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

26  And he reigned^{1961 4910} over all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river⁵¹⁰⁴ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the border¹³⁶⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

27  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the low plains⁸²¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

28  And they brought³³¹⁸ unto Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ horses⁵⁴⁸³ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and out of all^{4480 3605} lands.⁷⁷⁶

29  Now the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and in⁵⁹²¹ the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite,⁷⁸⁸⁸ and in the visions²³⁷⁸ of Iddo³²⁶⁰ the seer²³⁷⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat?⁵⁰²⁸

30  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

31  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and he was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 10: 1-19

---

1  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Shechem:⁷⁹²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ to Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ were all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ come⁹³⁵ to make him king.^{4427 853}

2  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ who¹⁹³¹ was in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ whither⁸³⁴ he had fled¹²⁷² from the presence^{4480 6440} of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ out of Egypt.^{4480 4714}

3  And they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called⁷¹²¹ him. So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Thy father¹ made ⁸⁵³ our yoke⁵⁹²³ grievous:⁷¹⁸⁵ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore ease⁷⁰⁴³ thou somewhat the grievous⁷¹⁸⁶ servitude^{4480 5656} of thy father,¹ and his heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke^{4480 5923} that⁸³⁴ he put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, and we will serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee.

5  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Come again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me after⁵⁷⁵⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days.³¹¹⁷ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ departed.¹⁹⁸⁰

6  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ the old men²²⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ had¹⁹⁶¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his father¹ while he yet lived,^{1961 2416} saying,⁵⁵⁹ What³⁴⁹ counsel give³²⁸⁹ ye⁸⁵⁹ me to return⁷⁷²⁵ answer¹⁶⁹⁷ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people?⁵⁹⁷¹

7  And they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ thou be¹⁹⁶¹ kind²⁸⁹⁶ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and please⁷⁵²¹ them, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ words¹⁶⁹⁷ to⁴¹³ them, they will be¹⁹⁶¹ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ forever.^{3605 3117}

8  But he forsook^{5800 853} the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ which⁸³⁴ the old men²²⁰⁵ gave³²⁸⁹ him, and took counsel³²⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ the young men³²⁰⁶ that⁸³⁴ were brought up¹⁴³¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him, that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

9  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, What⁴¹⁰⁰ advice give³²⁸⁹ ye⁸⁵⁹ that we may return⁷⁷²⁵ answer^{1697 853} to this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ease⁷⁰⁴³ somewhat⁴⁴⁸⁰ the yoke⁵⁹²³ that⁸³⁴ thy father¹ did put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ us?

10  And the young men³²⁰⁶ that⁸³⁴ were brought up¹⁴³¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou answer⁵⁵⁹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thy father¹ made our yoke heavy,^{3513 853 5923} but make thou it somewhat lighter^{859 7043} for^{4480 5921} us; thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, My little⁶⁹⁹⁵ finger shall be thicker⁵⁶⁶⁶ than my father's¹ loins.^{4480 4975}

11  For whereas⁶²⁵⁸ my father¹ put⁶⁰⁰⁶ a heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke⁵⁹²³ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, I⁵⁸⁹ will put more³²⁵⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ your yoke:⁵⁹²³ my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I⁵⁸⁹ will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷

12  So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ as⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ bade,¹⁶⁹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ me on the third⁷⁹⁹² day.³¹¹⁷

13  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ them roughly;⁷¹⁸⁶ and king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ forsook^{5800 853} the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the old men,²²⁰⁵

14  And answered^{1696 413} them after the advice⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the young men,³²⁰⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ My father¹ made your yoke heavy,^{3513 853 5923} but I⁵⁸⁹ will add³²⁵⁴ thereto:⁵⁹²¹ my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I⁵⁸⁹ will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷

15  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the cause⁵²⁵² was¹⁹⁶¹ of^{4480 5973} God,⁴³⁰ that⁴⁶¹⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ might perform^{6965 853} his word,¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite⁷⁸⁸⁸ to⁴¹³ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat.⁵⁰²⁸

16  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw that³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto them, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered^{7725 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ portion²⁵⁰⁶ have we in David?¹⁷³² and we have none³⁸⁰⁸ inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse:³⁴⁴⁸ every man³⁷⁶ to your tents,¹⁶⁸ O Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and now,⁶²⁵⁸ David,¹⁷³² see⁷²⁰⁰ to thine own house.¹⁰⁰⁴ So all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to their tents.¹⁶⁸

17  But as for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ them.

18  Then king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ sent^{7971 853} Hadoram¹⁹¹³ that⁸³⁴ was over⁵⁹²¹ the tribute;⁴⁵²² and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones,⁶⁸ that he died.⁴¹⁹¹ But king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made speed⁵⁵³ to get him up⁵⁹²⁷ to his chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ to flee⁵¹²⁷ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

19  And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ rebelled⁶⁵⁸⁶ against the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

---

2 Chronicles 11: 1-23

---

1  And when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was come⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ he gathered^{6950 853} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men, which were warriors,^{6213 4421} to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he might bring^{7725 853} the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ again to Rehoboam.⁷³⁴⁶

2  But the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹

3  Speak⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ go up,⁵⁹²⁷ nor³⁸⁰⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ your brethren:²⁵¹ return⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his house:¹⁰⁰⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is done¹⁹⁶¹ of^{4480 854} me. And they obeyed^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ from going^{4480 1980} against⁴¹³ Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹

5  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and built¹¹²⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² for defense⁴⁶⁹² in Judah.³⁰⁶³

6  He built¹¹²⁹ even ⁸⁵³ Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ and Etam,⁵⁸⁶² and Tekoa,⁸⁶²⁰

7  And Beth-zur,¹⁰⁴⁹ and Shoco,⁷⁷⁵⁵ and Adullam,⁵⁷²⁵

8  And Gath,¹⁶⁶¹ and Mareshah,⁴⁷⁶² and Ziph,²¹²⁸

9  And Adoraim,¹¹⁵ and Lachish,³⁹²³ and Azekah,⁵⁸²⁵

10  And Zorah,⁶⁶⁸¹ and Aijalon,³⁵⁷ and Hebron,²²⁷⁵ which⁸³⁴ are in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities.⁵⁸⁹²

11  And he fortified^{2388 853} the strongholds,⁴⁶⁹⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ captains⁵⁰⁵⁷ in them, and store²¹⁴ of victual,³⁹⁷⁸ and of oil⁸⁰⁸¹ and wine.³¹⁹⁶

12  And in every³⁶⁰⁵ several city^{5892 5892} he put shields⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ and made them exceeding strong,^{2388 7235 3966} having¹⁹⁶¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ on his side.

13  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that⁸³⁴ were in all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ resorted³³²⁰ to⁵⁹²¹ him out of all^{4480 3605} their coasts.¹³⁶⁶

14  For³⁵⁸⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ left^{5800 853} their suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ and their possession,²⁷² and came¹⁹⁸⁰ to Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and his sons¹¹²¹ had cast them off²¹⁸⁶ from executing the priest's office^{4480 3547} unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸

15  And he ordained⁵⁹⁷⁵ him priests³⁵⁴⁸ for the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and for the devils,⁸¹⁶³ and for the calves⁵⁶⁹⁵ which⁸³⁴ he had made.⁶²¹³

16  And after³¹⁰ them out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ such as set^{5414 853} their hearts³⁸²⁴ to seek^{1245 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

17  So they strengthened^{2388 853} the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made ⁸⁵³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ strong,⁵⁵³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years:⁸¹⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ they walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of David¹⁷³² and Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

18  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ him ⁸⁵³ Mahalath⁴²⁵⁸ the daughter¹³²³ of Jerimoth³⁴⁰⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² to wife,⁸⁰² and Abihail³² the daughter¹³²³ of Eliab⁴⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse;³⁴⁴⁸

19  Which bore³²⁰⁵ him children;^{1121 853} Jeush,³²⁶⁶ and Shamariah,⁸¹¹⁴ and Zaham.²⁰⁹³

20  And after³¹⁰ her he took^{3947 853} Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom;⁵³ which bore³²⁰⁵ him ⁸⁵³ Abijah,²⁹ and Attai,⁶²⁶² and Ziza,²¹²⁴ and Shelomith.⁸⁰¹⁹

21  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ loved^{157 853} Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom⁵³ above all^{4480 3605} his wives⁸⁰² and his concubines:⁶³⁷⁰ (for³⁵⁸⁸ he took⁵³⁷⁵ eighteen^{8083 6240} wives,⁸⁰² and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ concubines;⁶³⁷⁰ and begot³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and eight⁸⁰⁸³ sons,¹¹²¹ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ daughters.)¹³²³

22  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made^{5975 853} Abijah²⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the chief,⁷²¹⁸ to be ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ among his brethren:²⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he thought to make him king.⁴⁴²⁷

23  And he dealt wisely,⁹⁹⁵ and dispersed⁶⁵⁵⁵ of all^{4480 3605} his children¹¹²¹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the countries⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ unto every³⁶⁰⁵ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ city:⁵⁸⁹² and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them victual⁴²⁰² in abundance.⁷²³⁰ And he desired⁷⁵⁹² many¹⁹⁹⁵ wives.⁸⁰²

2 Chronicles 12: 1-16

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ had established³⁵⁵⁹ the kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and had strengthened²³⁹⁴ himself, he forsook^{5800 853} the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

2  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they had transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

3  With twelve hundred^{505 3967} chariots,⁷³⁹³ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were without³⁶⁹ number⁴⁵⁵⁷ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him out of Egypt;^{4480 4714} the Lubims,³⁸⁶⁴ the Sukkiims,⁵⁵²⁵ and the Ethiopians.³⁵⁶⁹

4  And he took^{3920 853} the fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ pertained to Judah,³⁰⁶³ and came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

5  Then came⁹³⁵ Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ to⁴¹³ Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ and to the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were gathered together⁶²² to⁴¹³ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ because of^{4480 6440} Shishak,⁷⁸⁹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye⁸⁵⁹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and therefore have I⁵⁸⁹ also⁶³⁷ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ you in the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵

6  Whereupon the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ humbled themselves;³⁶⁶⁵ and they said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is righteous.⁶⁶⁶²

7  And when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ they humbled themselves,³⁶⁶⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ They have humbled themselves;³⁶⁶⁵ therefore I will not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ them, but I will grant⁵⁴¹⁴ them some⁴⁵⁹² deliverance;⁶⁴¹³ and my wrath²⁵³⁴ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵

8  Nevertheless³⁵⁸⁸ they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ his servants;⁵⁶⁵⁰ that they may know³⁰⁴⁵ my service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the countries.⁷⁷⁶

9  So Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and took away^{3947 853} the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ he took^{3947 853} all:³⁶⁰⁵ he carried away^{3947 853} also the shields⁴⁰⁴³ of gold²⁰⁹¹ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made.⁶²¹³

10  Instead of⁸⁴⁷⁸ which king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made⁶²¹³ shields⁴⁰⁴³ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and committed⁶⁴⁸⁵ them to⁵⁹²¹ the hands³⁰²⁷ of the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard,⁷³²³ that kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the entrance⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

11  And when^{4480 1767} the king⁴⁴²⁸ entered into^{1961 935} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the guard⁷³²³ came⁹³⁵ and fetched⁵³⁷⁵ them, and brought them again⁷⁷²⁵ into⁴¹³ the guard⁷³²³ chamber.⁸³⁷²

12  And when he humbled himself,³⁶⁶⁵ the wrath⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, that he would not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy⁷⁸⁴³ him altogether:³⁶¹⁷ and also¹⁵⁷¹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ things¹⁶⁹⁷ went¹⁹⁶¹ well.²⁸⁹⁶

13  So king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ strengthened himself²³⁸⁸ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and reigned:⁴⁴²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was one²⁵⁹ and forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ seventeen^{7651 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had chosen⁹⁷⁷ out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to put^{7760 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ there.⁸⁰³³ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Naamah⁵²⁷⁹ an Ammonitess.⁵⁹⁸⁴

14  And he did⁶²¹³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ he prepared³⁵⁵⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ his heart³⁸²⁰ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  Now the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and of Iddo⁵⁷¹⁴ the seer²³⁷⁴ concerning genealogies?³¹⁸⁷ And there were wars⁴⁴²¹ between Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ and Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ continually.^{3605 3117}

16  And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Abijah²⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 13: 1-22

1  Now in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ began Abijah²⁹ to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  He reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Michaiah⁴³²² the daughter¹³²³ of Uriel²²² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Gibeah.¹³⁹⁰ And there was¹⁹⁶¹ war⁴⁴²¹ between⁹⁹⁶ Abijah²⁹ and Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹

3  And Abijah²⁹ set^{631 853} the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array with an army²⁴²⁸ of valiant men¹³⁶⁸ of war,⁴⁴²¹ even four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men:³⁷⁶ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ also set the battle in array^{6186 4421} against⁵⁹⁷³ him with eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men,³⁷⁶ being mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

4  And Abijah²⁹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ upon^{4480 5921} mount²⁰²² Zemaraim,⁶⁷⁸⁷ which⁸³⁴ is in mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, thou Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸

5  Ought ye not³⁸⁰⁸ to know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to David¹⁷³² forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ even to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ by a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of salt?⁴⁴¹⁷

6  Yet Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David,¹⁷³² is risen up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and hath rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ his lord.¹¹³

7  And there are gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ him vain⁷³⁸⁶ men,³⁷⁶ the children¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ and have strengthened themselves⁵⁵³ against⁵⁹²¹ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was¹⁹⁶¹ young⁵²⁸⁸ and tenderhearted,^{7390 3824} and could not³⁸⁰⁸ withstand^{2388 6440} them.

8  And now⁶²⁵⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ think⁵⁵⁹ to withstand²³⁸⁸ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the sons¹¹²¹ of David;¹⁷³² and ye⁸⁵⁹ be a great⁷²²⁷ multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and there are with⁵⁹⁷³ you golden²⁰⁹¹ calves,⁵⁶⁹⁵ which⁸³⁴ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ made⁶²¹³ you for gods.⁴³⁰

9  Have ye not³⁸⁰⁸ cast out^{5080 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,^{3068 853} the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and have made⁶²¹³ you priests³⁵⁴⁸ after the manner of the nations⁵⁹⁷¹ of other lands?⁷⁷⁶ so that whosoever³⁶⁰⁵ cometh⁹³⁵ to consecrate^{4390 3027} himself with a young^{1121 1241} bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams,³⁵² the same may be¹⁹⁶¹ a priest³⁵⁴⁸ of them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods.⁴³⁰

10  But as for us,⁵⁸⁷ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is our God,⁴³⁰ and we have not³⁸⁰⁸ forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him; and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ which minister⁸³³⁴ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ wait upon their business:⁴³⁹⁹

11  And they burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ every morning^{1242 1242} and every evening^{6153 6153} burnt sacrifices⁵⁹³⁰ and sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense:⁷⁰⁰⁴ the shewbread^{3899 4635} also set they in order upon⁵⁹²¹ the pure²⁸⁸⁹ table;⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the candlestick⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the lamps⁵²¹⁶ thereof, to burn¹¹⁹⁷ every evening:^{6153 6153} for³⁵⁸⁸ we⁵⁸⁷ keep^{8104 853} the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ but ye⁸⁵⁹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him.

12  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ God⁴³⁰ himself is with⁵⁹⁷³ us for our captain,⁷²¹⁸ and his priests³⁵⁴⁸ with sounding⁸⁶⁴³ trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to cry alarm⁷³²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ you. O children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not⁴⁰⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers;¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

13  But Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ caused^{5437 853} an ambushment³⁹⁹³ to come about⁹³⁵ behind^{4480 310} them: so they were¹⁹⁶¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the ambushment³⁹⁹³ was behind^{4480 310} them.

14  And when Judah³⁰⁶³ looked back,⁶⁴³⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the battle⁴⁴²¹ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ and behind:²⁶⁸ and they cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded²⁶⁹⁰ with the trumpets.²⁶⁸⁹

15  Then the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ gave a shout:⁷³²¹ and as the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shouted,⁷³²¹ it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that God⁴³⁰ smote^{5062 853} Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abijah²⁹ and Judah.³⁰⁶³

16  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fled⁵¹²⁷ before^{4480 6440} Judah:³⁰⁶³ and God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into their hand.³⁰²⁷

17  And Abijah²⁹ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ slew⁵²²¹ them with a great⁷²²⁷ slaughter:⁴³⁴⁷ so there fell down⁵³⁰⁷ slain²⁴⁹¹ of Israel^{4480 3478} five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men.³⁷⁶

18  Thus the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were brought under³⁶⁶⁵ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ prevailed,⁵⁵³ because³⁵⁸⁸ they relied⁸¹⁷² upon⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

19  And Abijah²⁹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and took³⁹²⁰ cities⁵⁸⁹² from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, ⁸⁵³ Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Jeshanah³⁴⁶⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Ephrain⁶⁰⁸⁵ with the towns¹³²³ thereof.

20  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ did Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ recover⁶¹¹³ strength³⁵⁸¹ again⁵⁷⁵⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of Abijah:²⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² him, and he died.⁴¹⁹¹

21  But Abijah²⁹ waxed mighty,²³⁸⁸ and married⁵³⁷⁵ fourteen^{702 6240} wives,⁸⁰² and begot³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ and sixteen^{8337 6240} daughters.¹³²³

22  And the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Abijah,²⁹ and his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sayings,¹⁶⁹⁷ are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Iddo.⁵⁷¹⁴

2 Chronicles 14: 1-15

---

1  So Abijah²⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸ In his days³¹¹⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ was quiet⁸²⁵² ten⁶²³⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ did⁶²¹³ that which was good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God:⁴³⁰

3  For he took away^{5493 853} the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ of the strange⁵²³⁶ gods, and the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and broke down^{7665 853} the images,⁴⁶⁷⁶ and cut down^{1438 853} the groves:⁸⁴²

4  And commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and to do⁶²¹³ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ and the commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷

5  Also he took away⁵⁴⁹³ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah^{3063 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and the images:²⁵⁵³ and the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was quiet⁸²⁵² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.

6  And he built¹¹²⁹ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest,⁸²⁵² and he had no³⁶⁹ war⁴⁴²¹ in those⁴²⁸ years;⁸¹⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given him rest.⁵¹¹⁷

7  Therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Judah,³⁰⁶³ Let us build^{1129 853} these⁴²⁸ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and make about⁵⁴³⁷ them walls,²³⁴⁶ and towers,⁴⁰²⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars,¹²⁸⁰ while the land⁷⁷⁶ is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us; because³⁵⁸⁸ we have sought^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ we have sought¹⁸⁷⁵ him, and he hath given us rest⁵¹¹⁷ on every side.^{4480 5439} So they built¹¹²⁹ and prospered.⁶⁷⁴³

8  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ had¹⁹⁶¹ an army²⁴²⁸ of men that bore⁵³⁷⁵ targets⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Judah³⁰⁶³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and out of Benjamin,^{4480 1144} that bore⁵³⁷⁵ shields⁴⁰⁴³ and drew¹⁸⁶⁹ bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

9  And there came out³³¹⁸ against⁴¹³ them Zerah²²²⁶ the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ with a host²⁴²⁸ of a thousand⁵⁰⁵ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots;⁴⁸¹⁸ and came⁹³⁵ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

10  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ went out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, and they set the battle in array^{6186 4421} in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of Zephathah⁶⁸⁵⁹ at Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²

11  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ cried⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ it is nothing³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee to help,⁵⁸²⁶ whether⁹⁹⁶ with many,⁷²²⁷ or with them that have no³⁶⁹ power:³⁵⁸¹ help⁵⁸²⁶ us, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ we rest⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ thee, and in thy name⁸⁰³⁴ we go⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ multitude.¹⁹⁹⁵ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art our God;⁴³⁰ let not⁴⁰⁸ man⁵⁸² prevail⁶¹¹³ against⁵⁹⁷³ thee.

12  So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote^{5062 853} the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ fled.⁵¹²⁷

13  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ were with⁵⁹⁷³ him pursued⁷²⁹¹ them unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Gerar:¹⁶⁴² and the Ethiopians^{4480 3569} were overthrown,⁵³⁰⁷ that they could not³⁶⁹ recover⁴²⁴¹ themselves; for³⁵⁸⁸ they were destroyed⁷⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his host;⁴²⁶⁴ and they carried away⁵³⁷⁵ very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ spoil.⁷⁹⁹⁸

14  And they smote^{5221 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² round about⁵⁴³⁹ Gerar;¹⁶⁴² for³⁵⁸⁸ the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: and they spoiled^{962 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities;⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ exceeding much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁹⁶¹ in them.

15  They smote⁵²²¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ the tents¹⁶⁸ of cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2 Chronicles 15: 1-19

1  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Oded:⁵⁷⁵²

2  And he went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye me, Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁵⁹⁷³ you, while ye be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him; and if⁵¹⁸ ye seek¹⁸⁷⁵ him, he will be found⁴⁶⁷² of you; but if⁵¹⁸ ye forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ him, he will forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ you.

3  Now for a long season^{7227 3117} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath been without³⁸⁰⁸ the true⁵⁷¹ God,⁴³⁰ and without³⁸⁰⁸ a teaching³³⁸⁴ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and without³⁸⁰⁸ law.⁸⁴⁵¹

4  But when they in their trouble⁶⁸⁶² did turn⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and sought¹²⁴⁵ him, he was found⁴⁶⁷² of them.

5  And in those¹⁹⁹² times⁶²⁵⁶ there was no³⁶⁹ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to him that went out,³³¹⁸ nor to him that came in,⁹³⁵ but³⁵⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ vexations⁴¹⁰³ were upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the countries.⁷⁷⁶

6  And nation¹⁴⁷¹ was destroyed³⁸⁰⁷ of nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and city⁵⁸⁹² of city:⁵⁸⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ did vex²⁰⁰⁰ them with all³⁶⁰⁵ adversity.⁶⁸⁶⁹

7  Be ye strong^{859 2388} therefore, and let not⁴⁰⁸ your hands³⁰²⁷ be weak:⁷⁵⁰³ for³⁵⁸⁸ your work⁶⁴⁶⁸ shall be³⁴²⁶ rewarded.⁷⁹³⁹

8  And when Asa⁶⁰⁹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Oded⁵⁷⁵² the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ he took courage,²³⁸⁸ and put away⁵⁶⁷⁴ the abominable idols⁸²⁵¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ he had taken³⁹²⁰ from mount^{4480 2022} Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and renewed^{2318 853} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the porch¹⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  And he gathered^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ and the strangers¹⁴⁸¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ them out of Ephraim^{4480 669} and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ and out of Simeon:^{4480 8095} for³⁵⁸⁸ they fell⁵³⁰⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ him out of Israel^{4480 3478} in abundance,⁷²³⁰ when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

10  So they gathered themselves together⁶⁹⁰⁸ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in the third⁷⁹⁹² month,²³²⁰ in the fifteenth^{2568 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa.⁶⁰⁹

11  And they offered²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the same¹⁹³¹ time,³¹¹⁷ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ which they had brought,⁹³⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ oxen¹²⁴¹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

12  And they entered⁹³⁵ into a covenant¹²⁸⁵ to seek^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers¹ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁴ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul;⁵³¹⁵

13  That whosoever^{3605 834} would not³⁸⁰⁸ seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ should be put to death,⁴¹⁹¹ whether⁴⁴⁸⁰ small⁶⁹⁹⁶ or⁵⁷⁰⁴ great,¹⁴¹⁹ whether man^{4480 376} or⁵⁷⁰⁴ woman.⁸⁰²

14  And they swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ and with shouting,⁸⁶⁴³ and with trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ and with cornets.⁷⁷⁸²

15  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ rejoiced⁸⁰⁵⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ the oath:⁷⁶²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they had sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart,³⁸²⁴ and sought¹²⁴⁵ him with their whole³⁶⁰⁵ desire;⁷⁵²² and he was found⁴⁶⁷² of them: and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ gave them rest⁵¹¹⁷ round about.^{4480 5439}

16  And also¹⁵⁷¹ concerning Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ he removed⁵⁴⁹³ her from being queen,^{4480 1377} because⁸³⁴ she had made⁶²¹³ an idol⁴⁶⁵⁶ in a grove:⁸⁴² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ cut down^{3772 853} her idol,⁴⁶⁵⁶ and stamped¹⁸⁵⁴ it, and burnt⁸³¹³ it at the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

17  But the high places¹¹¹⁶ were not³⁸⁰⁸ taken away⁵⁴⁹³ out of Israel:^{4480 3478} nevertheless⁷⁵³⁵ the heart³⁸²⁴ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ was¹⁹⁶¹ perfect⁸⁰⁰³ all³⁶⁰⁵ his days.³¹¹⁷

18  And he brought into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God^{430 853} the things that his father¹ had dedicated,⁶⁹⁴⁴ and that he himself had dedicated,⁶⁹⁴⁴ silver,³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ and vessels.³⁶²⁷

19  And there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more war⁴⁴²¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the five²⁵⁶⁸ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa.⁶⁰⁹

2 Chronicles 16: 1-14

---

1  In the six⁸³³⁷ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ Baasha¹²⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and built^{1129 853} Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ to the intent that he might let⁵⁴¹⁴ none¹¹¹⁵ go out³³¹⁸ or come in⁹³⁵ to Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

2  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ brought out³³¹⁸ silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ out of the treasures^{4480 214} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ and of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Ben-hadad¹¹³⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Damascus,¹⁸³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

3  There is a league¹²⁸⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ me and thee, as there was between⁹⁹⁶ my father¹ and thy father:¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ thee silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold;²⁰⁹¹ go,¹⁹⁸⁰ break⁶⁵⁶⁵ thy league¹²⁸⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ Baasha¹²⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he may depart⁵⁹²⁷ from^{4480 5921} me.

4  And Ben-hadad¹¹³⁰ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and sent^{7971 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of his⁸³⁴ armies²⁴²⁸ against⁴¹³ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and they smote^{5221 853} Ijon,⁵⁸⁵⁹ and Dan,¹⁸³⁵ and Abel-maim,⁶⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Naphtali.⁵³²¹

5  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Baasha¹²⁰¹ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that he left off²³⁰⁸ building^{4480 1129 853} of Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ and let ⁸⁵³ his work⁴³⁹⁹ cease.⁷⁶⁷³

6  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ took^{3947 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and they carried away^{5375 853} the stones⁶⁸ of Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ and the timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ thereof, wherewith⁸³⁴ Baasha¹²⁰¹ was building;¹¹²⁹ and he built¹¹²⁹ therewith ⁸⁵³ Geba¹³⁸⁷ and Mizpah.⁴⁷⁰⁹

7  And at that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ Hanani²⁶⁰⁷ the seer⁷²⁰³ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Because thou hast relied⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ and not³⁸⁰⁸ relied⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ therefore^{5921 3651} is the host²⁴²⁸ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ escaped⁴⁴²² out of thine hand.^{4480 3027}

8  Were¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ and the Lubims³⁸⁶⁴ a huge⁷²³⁰ host,²⁴²⁸ with very³⁹⁶⁶ many⁷²³⁵ chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen?⁶⁵⁷¹ yet, because thou didst rely⁸¹⁷² on⁵⁹²¹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into thine hand.³⁰²⁷

9  For³⁵⁸⁸ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ run to and fro⁷⁷⁵¹ throughout the whole³⁶⁰⁵ earth,⁷⁷⁶ to show himself strong²³⁸⁸ in the behalf of⁵⁹⁷³ them whose heart³⁸²⁴ is perfect⁸⁰⁰³ toward⁴¹³ him. Herein^{5921 2063} thou hast done foolishly:⁵⁵²⁸ therefore³⁵⁸⁸ from henceforth^{4480 6258} thou shalt have³⁴²⁶ wars.⁴⁴²¹

10  Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ was wroth³⁷⁰⁷ with⁴¹³ the seer,⁷²⁰³ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him in a prison⁴¹¹⁵ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ he was in a rage²¹⁹⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ him because of⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ thing. And Asa⁶⁰⁹ oppressed⁷⁵³³ some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ the same¹⁹³¹ time.⁶²⁵⁶

11  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Asa,⁶⁰⁹ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

12  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ in the thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and ninth⁸⁶⁷² year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign⁴⁴³⁸ was diseased²⁴⁵⁶ in his feet,⁷²⁷² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ his disease²⁴⁸³ was exceeding⁴⁶⁰⁵ great: yet¹⁵⁷¹ in his disease²⁴⁸³ he sought¹⁸⁷⁵ not^{3808 853} to the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but³⁵⁸⁸ to the physicians.⁷⁴⁹⁵

13  And Asa⁶⁰⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and died⁴¹⁹¹ in the one²⁵⁹ and fortieth⁷⁰⁵ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴²⁷

14  And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in his own sepulchers,⁶⁹¹³ which⁸³⁴ he had made³⁷³⁸ for himself in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² and laid⁷⁹⁰¹ him in the bed⁴⁹⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with sweet odors¹³¹⁴ and divers kinds²¹⁷⁷ of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art:^{7543 4842 4639} and they made⁸³¹³ a very^{5704 3966} great¹⁴¹⁹ burning⁸³¹⁶ for him.

2 Chronicles 17: 1-19

---

1  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead,⁸⁴⁷⁸ and strengthened himself²³⁸⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  And he placed⁵⁴¹⁴ forces²⁴²⁸ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ garrisons⁵³³³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ which⁸³⁴ Asa⁶⁰⁹ his father¹ had taken.³⁹²⁰

3  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² because³⁵⁸⁸ he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the first⁷²²³ ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of his father¹ David,¹⁷³² and sought¹⁸⁷⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ unto Baalim;¹¹⁶⁸

4  But³⁵⁸⁸ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ to the LORD God⁴³⁰ of his father,¹ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in his commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ and not³⁸⁰⁸ after the doings⁴⁶³⁹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Therefore the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ established^{3559 853} the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ brought⁵⁴¹⁴ to Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² presents;⁴⁵⁰³ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor³⁵¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

6  And his heart³⁸²⁰ was lifted up¹³⁶¹ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ moreover⁵⁷⁵⁰ he took away^{5493 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ and groves⁸⁴² out of Judah.^{4480 3063}

7  Also in the third⁷⁹⁶⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign⁴⁴²⁷ he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ even to Ben-hail,¹¹³⁴ and to Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² and to Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and to Nethaneel,⁵⁴¹⁷ and to Michaiah,⁴³²² to teach³⁹²⁵ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

8  And with⁵⁹⁷³ them he sent Levites,³⁸⁸¹ even Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ and Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ and Zebadiah,²⁰⁶⁹ and Asahel,⁶²¹⁴ and Shemiramoth,⁸⁰⁷⁰ and Jehonathan,³⁰⁸³ and Adonijah,¹³⁸ and Tobijah,²⁹⁰⁰ and Tob-adonijah,²⁸⁹⁹ Levites;³⁸⁸¹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them Elishama⁴⁷⁶ and Jehoram,³⁰⁸⁸ priests.³⁵⁴⁸

9  And they taught³⁹²⁵ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and had the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ them, and went about⁵⁴³⁷ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and taught³⁹²⁵ the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

10  And the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ fell¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the lands⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were round about⁵⁴³⁹ Judah,³⁰⁶³ so that they made no war^{3898 3808} against⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoshaphat.³⁰⁹²

11  Also some of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ brought⁹³⁵ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² presents,⁴⁵⁰³ and tribute⁴⁸⁵³ silver;³⁷⁰¹ and¹⁵⁷¹ the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ brought⁹³⁵ him flocks,⁶⁶²⁹ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ rams,³⁵² and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ he goats.⁸⁴⁹⁵

12  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² waxed^{1961 1980} great¹⁴³² exceedingly;^{5704 4605} and he built¹¹²⁹ in Judah³⁰⁶³ castles,¹⁰⁰³ and cities⁵⁸⁹² of store.⁴⁵⁴³

13  And he had¹⁹⁶¹ much⁷²²⁷ business⁴³⁹⁹ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah:³⁰⁶³ and the men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor,²⁴²⁸ were in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

14  And these⁴²⁸ are the numbers⁶⁴⁸⁶ of them according to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers:¹ Of Judah,³⁰⁶³ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands;⁵⁰⁵ Adnah⁵⁷³⁴ the chief,⁸²⁶⁹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

15  And next^{5921 3027} to him was Jehohanan³⁰⁷⁶ the captain,⁸²⁶⁹ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

16  And next^{5921 3027} him was Amasiah⁶⁰⁰⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ who willingly offered himself⁵⁰⁶⁸ unto the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and with him⁵⁹⁷³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor.²⁴²⁸

17  And of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴ Eliada⁴⁵⁰ a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ of valor,²⁴²⁸ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him armed men⁵⁴⁰¹ with bow⁷¹⁹⁸ and shield⁴⁰⁴³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

18  And next^{5921 3027} him was Jehozabad,³⁰⁷⁵ and with⁵⁹⁷³ him a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ ready prepared²⁵⁰² for the war.⁶⁶³⁵

19  These⁴²⁸ waited on^{8334 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ beside^{4480 905} those whom⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ in the fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities⁵⁸⁹² throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah.³⁰⁶³

2 Chronicles 18: 1-34

1  Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² had¹⁹⁶¹ riches⁶²³⁹ and honor³⁵¹⁹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and joined affinity²⁸⁵⁹ with Ahab.²⁵⁶

2  And after⁷⁰⁹³ certain years⁸¹⁴¹ he went down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ Ahab²⁵⁶ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹ And Ahab²⁵⁶ killed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen¹²⁴¹ for him in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ he had with⁵⁹⁷³ him, and persuaded⁵⁴⁹⁶ him to go up⁵⁹²⁷ with him to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead.⁷⁴³³

3  And Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Wilt thou go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ me to Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And he answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I³⁶⁴⁴ am as thou³⁶⁴⁴ art, and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ as thy people;⁵⁹⁷¹ and we will be with⁵⁹⁷³ thee in the war.⁴⁴²¹

4  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Inquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ at ⁸⁵³ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ today.³¹¹⁷

5  Therefore the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered together^{6908 853} of prophets⁵⁰³⁰ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Shall we go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up;⁵⁹²⁷ for God⁴³⁰ will deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ hand.³⁰²⁷

6  But Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not³⁶⁹ here⁶³¹¹ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ besides,⁵⁷⁵⁰ that we might inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of him?^{4480 854}

7  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² There is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ one²⁵⁹ man,³⁷⁶ by whom^{4480 854} we may inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but I⁵⁸⁹ hate⁸¹³⁰ him; for³⁵⁸⁸ he never³⁶⁹ prophesied⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me, but³⁵⁸⁸ always^{3605 3117} evil:⁷⁴⁵¹ the same¹⁹³¹ is Micaiah⁴³²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹ And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ so.³⁶⁵¹

8  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ called⁷¹²¹ for⁴¹³ one²⁵⁹ of his officers,⁵⁶³¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Fetch quickly⁴¹¹⁶ Micaiah⁴³¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹

9  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ sat³⁴²⁷ either³⁷⁶ of them on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ in their robes,⁸⁹⁹ and they sat³⁴²⁷ in a void place¹⁶³⁷ at the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

10  And Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ him horns⁷¹⁶¹ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ With these⁴²⁸ thou shalt push^{5055 853} Syria⁷⁵⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they be consumed.³⁶¹⁵

11  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² so,³⁶⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramoth-gilead,⁷⁴³³ and prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to call⁷¹²¹ Micaiah⁴³²¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ declare good²⁸⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ with one²⁵⁹ assent;⁶³¹⁰ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ therefore, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be¹⁹⁶¹ like one²⁵⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ theirs, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ thou good.²⁸⁹⁶

13  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ even^{3588 853} what⁸³⁴ my God⁴³⁰ saith,⁵⁵⁹ that will I speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

14  And when he was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Micaiah,⁴³¹⁸ shall we go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go ye up,⁵⁹²⁷ and prosper,⁶⁷⁴³ and they shall be delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into your hand.³⁰²⁷

15  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ him, How many^{5704 4100} times⁶⁴⁷¹ shall I⁵⁸⁹ adjure⁷⁶⁵⁰ thee that⁸³⁴ thou say¹⁶⁹⁶ nothing³⁸⁰⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ the truth⁵⁷¹ to⁴¹³ me in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸

16  Then he said,⁵⁵⁹ I did see^{7200 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ scattered⁶³²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the mountains,²⁰²² as sheep⁶⁶²⁹ that⁸³⁴ have no³⁶⁹ shepherd:⁷⁴⁶² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ These⁴²⁸ have no³⁸⁰⁸ master;¹¹³ let them return⁷⁷²⁵ therefore every man³⁷⁶ to his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

17  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Did I not³⁸⁰⁸ tell^{559 413} thee that he would not³⁸⁰⁸ prophesy⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁵⁹²¹ me, but^{3588 518} evil?⁷⁴⁵¹

18  Again he said,⁵⁵⁹ Therefore³⁶⁵¹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I saw^{7200 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ his right hand³²²⁵ and on his left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

19  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ shall entice^{6601 853} Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ and fall⁵³⁰⁷ at Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And one²⁰⁸⁸ spoke⁵⁵⁹ saying⁵⁵⁹ after this manner,³⁶⁰² and another²⁰⁸⁸ saying⁵⁵⁹ after that manner.³⁶⁰²

20  Then there came out³³¹⁸ a spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ will entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him. And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Wherewith?⁴¹⁰⁰

21  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go out,³³¹⁸ and be¹⁹⁶¹ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of all³⁶⁰⁵ his prophets.⁵⁰³⁰ And the LORD said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him, and thou shalt also¹⁵⁷¹ prevail:³²⁰¹ go out,³³¹⁸ and do⁶²¹³ even so.³⁶⁵¹

22  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath put⁵⁴¹⁴ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of these⁴²⁸ thy prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thee.

23  Then Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ came near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and smote^{5221 853} Micaiah⁴³²¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ the cheek,³⁸⁹⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Which^{335 2088} way¹⁸⁷⁰ went⁵⁶⁷⁴ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ from^{4480 854} me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ thee?

24  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ on that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ when⁸³⁴ thou shalt go⁹³⁵ into an inner chamber^{2315 2315} to hide thyself.²²⁴⁴

25  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ ye ⁸⁵³ Micaiah,⁴³²¹ and carry him back⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Amon⁵²⁶ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and to⁴¹³ Joash³¹⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son;¹¹²¹

26  And say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Put⁷⁷⁶⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ fellow in the prison,^{1004 3608} and feed³⁹⁸ him with bread³⁸⁹⁹ of affliction³⁹⁰⁶ and with water⁴³²⁵ of affliction,³⁹⁰⁶ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ I return⁷⁷²⁵ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

27  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ thou certainly return^{7725 7725} in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ then hath not³⁸⁰⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ by me. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken,⁸⁰⁸⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ ye people.⁵⁹⁷¹

28  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead.⁷⁴³³

29  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² I will disguise myself,²⁶⁶⁴ and will go⁹³⁵ to the battle;⁴⁴²¹ but put thou on^{859 3847} thy robes.⁸⁹⁹ So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ disguised himself;²⁶⁶⁴ and they went⁹³⁵ to the battle.⁴⁴²¹

30  Now the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ had commanded^{6680 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ that⁸³⁴ were with him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not³⁸⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ small⁶⁹⁹⁶ or⁸⁵⁴ great,¹⁴¹⁹ save^{3588 518} only⁹⁰⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

31  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ saw^{7200 853} Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² that they¹⁹⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ It¹⁹³¹ is the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ Therefore they compassed⁵⁴³⁷ about⁵⁹²¹ him to fight:³⁸⁹⁸ but Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² cried out,²¹⁹⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ helped⁵⁸²⁶ him; and God⁴³⁰ moved⁵⁴⁹⁶ them to depart from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

32  For it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that, when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ perceived⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ they turned back again⁷⁷²⁵ from pursuing^{4480 310} him.

33  And a certain man³⁷⁶ drew⁴⁹⁰⁰ a bow⁷¹⁹⁸ at a venture,⁸⁵³⁷ and smote^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ the joints¹⁶⁹⁴ of the harness:⁸³⁰² therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ to his chariot man,⁷³⁹⁵ Turn²⁰¹⁵ thine hand,³⁰²⁷ that thou mayest carry me out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the host;⁴²⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am wounded.²⁴⁷⁰

34  And the battle⁴⁴²¹ increased⁵⁹²⁷ that¹⁹³¹ day:³¹¹⁷ howbeit the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stayed himself up^{1961 5975} in his chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ against⁵²²⁷ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the even:⁶¹⁵³ and about the time⁶²⁵⁶ of the sun⁸¹²¹ going down⁹³⁵ he died.⁴¹⁹¹

1  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  And Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hanani²⁶⁰⁷ the seer²³⁷⁴ went out³³¹⁸ to meet^{413 6440} him, and said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Shouldest thou help⁵⁸²⁶ the ungodly,⁷⁵⁶³ and love¹⁵⁷ them that hate⁸¹³⁰ the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ therefore²⁰⁶³ is wrath⁷¹¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ thee from before^{4480 6440} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  Nevertheless⁶¹ there are good²⁸⁹⁶ things¹⁶⁹⁷ found⁴⁶⁷² in⁵⁹⁷³ thee, in that³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast taken away¹¹⁹⁷ the groves⁸⁴² out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and hast prepared³⁵⁵⁹ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ God.⁴³⁰

4  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² dwelt³⁴²⁷ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ and he went out³³¹⁸ again⁷⁷²⁵ through the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from Beer-sheba^{4480 884} to⁵⁷⁰⁴ mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and brought them back⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

5  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ judges⁸¹⁹⁹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the fenced¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² by city,⁵⁸⁹²

6  And said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ Take heed⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ ye⁸⁵⁹ do:⁶²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye judge⁸¹⁹⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ for man,¹²⁰ but³⁵⁸⁸ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ who is with⁵⁹⁷³ you in the judgment.^{1697 4941}

7  Wherefore now⁶²⁵⁸ let the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you; take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ and do⁶²¹³ it: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ nor respect⁴⁸⁵⁶ of persons,⁶⁴⁴⁰ nor taking⁴⁷²⁷ of gifts.⁷⁸¹⁰

8  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ did Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² set⁵⁹⁷⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and of the chief^{4480 7218} of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ for the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and for controversies,⁷³⁷⁹ when they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

9  And he charged^{6680 5921} them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye do⁶²¹³ in the fear³³⁷⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ faithfully,⁵³⁰ and with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

10  And what cause soever^{3605 7379 834} shall come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ you of your brethren^{4480 251} that dwell³⁴²⁷ in their cities,⁵⁸⁹² between⁹⁹⁶ blood¹⁸¹⁸ and blood,¹⁸¹⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ law⁸⁴⁵¹ and commandment,⁴⁶⁸⁷ statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ ye shall even warn²⁰⁹⁴ them that they trespass⁸¹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and so wrath⁷¹¹⁰ come¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, and upon⁵⁹²¹ your brethren:²⁵¹ this³⁵⁴¹ do,⁶²¹³ and ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ trespass.⁸¹⁶

11  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Amariah⁵⁶⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest³⁵⁴⁸ is over⁵⁹²¹ you in all³⁶⁰⁵ matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and Zebadiah²⁰⁶⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ishmael,³⁴⁵⁸ the ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ matters:¹⁶⁹⁷ also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall be officers⁷⁸⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you. Deal⁶²¹³ courageously,²³⁸⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the good.²⁸⁹⁶

2 Chronicles 20: 1-37

1  It came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this³⁶⁵¹ also, that the children¹¹²¹ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and with⁵⁹⁷³ them other beside⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Ammonites,⁵⁹⁸⁴ came⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² to battle.⁴⁴²¹

2  Then there came⁹³⁵ some that told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ There cometh⁹³⁵ a great⁷²²⁷ multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ thee from beyond^{4480 5676} the sea³²²⁰ on this side Syria;^{4480 758} and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they be in Hazazon-tamar,²⁶⁸⁸ which¹⁹³¹ is En-gedi.⁵⁸⁷²

3  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² feared,³³⁷² and set^{5414 853} himself⁶⁴⁴⁰ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and proclaimed⁷¹²¹ a fast⁶⁶⁸⁵ throughout⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah.³⁰⁶³

4  And Judah³⁰⁶³ gathered themselves together,⁶⁹⁰⁸ to ask¹²⁴⁵ help of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ they came⁹³⁵ to seek^{1245 853} the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the new²³¹⁹ court,²⁶⁹¹

6  And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of our fathers,¹ art not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ God⁴³⁰ in heaven?⁸⁰⁶⁴ and rulest⁴⁹¹⁰ not thou⁸⁵⁹ over all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the heathen?¹⁴⁷¹ and in thine hand³⁰²⁷ is there not power³⁵⁸¹ and might,¹³⁶⁹ so that none³⁶⁹ is able to withstand^{3320 5973} thee?

7  Art not³⁸⁰⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ our God,⁴³⁰ who didst drive out^{3423 853} the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ land⁷⁷⁶ before^{4480 6440} thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ it to the seed²²³³ of Abraham⁸⁵ thy friend¹⁵⁷ forever?⁵⁷⁶⁹

8  And they dwelt³⁴²⁷ therein, and have built¹¹²⁹ thee a sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ therein for thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

9  If,⁵¹⁸ when evil⁷⁴⁵¹ cometh⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us, as the sword,²⁷¹⁹ judgment,⁸¹⁹⁶ or pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ or famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ we stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and in thy presence,⁶⁴⁴⁰ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ is in this²⁰⁸⁸ house,)¹⁰⁰⁴ and cry²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee in our affliction,^{4480 6869} then thou wilt hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ and help.³⁴⁶⁷

10  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab⁴¹²⁴ and mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ whom⁸³⁴ thou wouldest not³⁸⁰⁸ let⁵⁴¹⁴ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ invade,⁹³⁵ when they came⁹³⁵ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ but³⁵⁸⁸ they turned⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5921} them, and destroyed⁸⁰⁴⁵ them not;³⁸⁰⁸

11  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I say, how they¹⁹⁹² reward^{1580 5921} us, to come⁹³⁵ to cast us out¹⁶⁴⁴ of thy possession,^{4480 3425} which⁸³⁴ thou hast given us to inherit.³⁴²³

12  O our God,⁴³⁰ wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ judge⁸¹⁹⁹ them? for³⁵⁸⁸ we have no³⁶⁹ might³⁵⁸¹ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ company¹⁹⁹⁵ that cometh⁹³⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ us; neither³⁸⁰⁸ know³⁰⁴⁵ we⁵⁸⁷ what⁴¹⁰⁰ to do:⁶²¹³ but³⁵⁸⁸ our eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ are upon⁵⁹²¹ thee.

13  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ with¹⁵⁷¹ their little ones,²⁹⁴⁵ their wives,⁸⁰² and their children.¹¹²¹

14  Then upon⁵⁹²¹ Jahaziel³¹⁶⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Benaiah,¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeiel,³²⁷³ the son¹¹²¹ of Mattaniah,⁴⁹⁸³ a Levite³⁸⁸¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sons¹¹²¹ of Asaph,⁶²³ came¹⁹⁶¹ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the midst⁸⁴³² of the congregation;⁶⁹⁵¹

15  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken⁷¹⁸¹ ye, all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and ye inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and thou king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto you, Be not afraid^{859 3372 408} nor⁴⁰⁸ dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ by reason of^{4480 6440} this²⁰⁸⁸ great⁷²²⁷ multitude;¹⁹⁹⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ the battle⁴⁴²¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ yours, but³⁵⁸⁸ God's.⁴³⁰

16  Tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ go ye down³³⁸¹ against⁵⁹²¹ them: behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they come up⁵⁹²⁷ by the cliff⁴⁶⁰⁸ of Ziz;⁶⁷³² and ye shall find⁴⁶⁷² them at the end⁵⁴⁹⁰ of the brook,⁵¹⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Jeruel.³³⁸⁵

17  Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ need to fight³⁸⁹⁸ in this²⁰⁶³ battle: set yourselves,³³²⁰ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ ye still, and see^{7200 853} the salvation³⁴⁴⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ you, O Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ fear³³⁷² not,⁴⁰⁸ nor⁴⁰⁸ be dismayed;²⁸⁶⁵ tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ go out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ them: for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will be with⁵⁹⁷³ you.

18  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² bowed his head⁶⁹¹⁵ with his face⁶³⁹ to the ground:⁷⁷⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ fell⁵³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ worshiping⁷⁸¹² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

19  And the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the Kohathites,⁶⁹⁵⁶ and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the children¹¹²¹ of the Korhites,⁷¹⁴⁵ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice⁶⁹⁶³ on high.⁴⁶⁰⁵

20  And they rose early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and went forth³³¹⁸ into the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Tekoa:⁸⁶²⁰ and as they went forth,³³¹⁸ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, O Judah,³⁰⁶³ and ye inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ Believe⁵³⁹ in the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ so shall ye be established;⁵³⁹ believe⁵³⁹ his prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ so shall ye prosper.⁶⁷⁴³

21  And when he had consulted³²⁸⁹ with⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he appointed⁵⁹⁷⁵ singers⁷⁸⁹¹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and that should praise¹⁹⁸⁴ the beauty¹⁹²⁷ of holiness,⁶⁹⁴⁴ as they went out³³¹⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the army,²⁵⁰² and to say,⁵⁵⁹ Praise³⁰³⁴ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

22  And when⁶²⁵⁶ they began²⁴⁹⁰ to sing⁷⁴⁴⁰ and to praise,⁸⁴¹⁶ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ set⁵⁴¹⁴ ambushments⁶⁹³ against⁵⁹²¹ the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ which were come⁹³⁵ against Judah;³⁰⁶³ and they were smitten.⁵⁰⁶²

23  For the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ and Moab⁴¹²⁴ stood up⁵⁹⁷⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of mount²⁰²² Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ utterly to slay²⁷⁶³ and destroy⁸⁰⁴⁵ them: and when they had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ every one³⁷⁶ helped⁵⁸²⁶ to destroy⁴⁸⁸⁹ another.⁷⁴⁵³

24  And when Judah³⁰⁶³ came⁹³⁵ toward⁵⁹²¹ the watch tower⁴⁷⁰⁷ in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ they looked⁶⁴³⁷ unto⁴¹³ the multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they were dead bodies⁶²⁹⁷ fallen⁵³⁰⁷ to the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and none³⁶⁹ escaped.⁶⁴¹³

25  And when Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to take away^{962 853} the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of them, they found⁴⁶⁷² among them in abundance⁷²³⁰ both riches⁷³⁹⁹ with the dead bodies,⁶²⁹⁷ and precious²⁵³⁰ jewels,³⁶²⁷ which they stripped off⁵³³⁷ for themselves, more than³⁶⁹ they could carry away:⁴⁸⁵³ and they were¹⁹⁶¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days³¹¹⁷ in gathering^{962 853} of the spoil,⁷⁹⁹⁸ it¹⁹³¹ was so much.⁷²²⁷

26  And on the fourth⁷²⁴³ day³¹¹⁷ they assembled themselves⁶⁹⁵⁰ in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Berachah;¹²⁹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ they blessed^{1288 853} the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ therefore^{5921 3651 853} the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the same¹⁹³¹ place⁴⁷²⁵ was called,⁷¹²¹ The valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Berachah,¹²⁹⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this day.³¹¹⁷

27  Then they returned,⁷⁷²⁵ every³⁶⁰⁵ man³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² in the forefront⁷²¹⁸ of them, to go again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with joy;⁸⁰⁵⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made them to rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ over their enemies.^{4480 341}

28  And they came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ unto⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

29  And the fear⁶³⁴³ of God⁴³⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ on⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of those countries,⁷⁷⁶ when they had heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ fought³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹⁷³ the enemies³⁴¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

30  So the realm⁴⁴³⁸ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² was quiet:⁸²⁵² for his God⁴³⁰ gave him rest⁵¹¹⁷ round about.^{4480 5439}

31  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah:³⁰⁶³ he was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Azubah⁵⁸⁰⁶ the daughter¹³²³ of Shilhi.⁷⁹⁷⁷

32  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ his father,¹ and departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it, doing⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

33  Howbeit³⁸⁹ the high places¹¹¹⁶ were not³⁸⁰⁸ taken away:⁵⁴⁹³ for as yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ had not³⁸⁰⁸ prepared³⁵⁵⁹ their hearts³⁸²⁴ unto the God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

34  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hanani,²⁶⁰⁷ who⁸³⁴ is mentioned⁵⁹²⁷ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

35  And after³¹⁰ this³⁶⁵¹ did Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ join himself²²⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ Ahaziah²⁷⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who¹⁹³¹ did very wickedly:^{7561 6213}

36  And he joined²²⁶⁶ himself with⁵⁹⁷³ him to make⁶²¹³ ships⁵⁹¹ to go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish:⁸⁶⁵⁹ and they made⁶²¹³ the ships⁵⁹¹ in Ezion-geber.⁶¹⁰⁰

37  Then Eliezer⁴⁶¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Dodavah¹⁷³⁵ of Mareshah^{4480 4762} prophesied⁵⁰¹² against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Because thou hast joined thyself²²⁶⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath broken^{6555 853} thy works.⁴⁶³⁹ And the ships⁵⁹¹ were broken,⁷⁶⁶⁵ that they were not able^{6113 3808} to go¹⁹⁸⁰ to⁴¹³ Tarshish.⁸⁶⁵⁹

2 Chronicles 21: 1-20

1  Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³² And Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2  And he had brethren²⁵¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Jehiel,³¹⁷¹ and Zechariah,²¹⁴⁸ and Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ and Michael,⁴³¹⁷ and Shephatiah:⁸²⁰³ all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ were the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

3  And their father¹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them great⁷²²⁷ gifts⁴⁹⁷⁹ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of precious things,⁴⁰³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ but the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ he to Jehoram;³⁰⁸⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was the firstborn.¹⁰⁶⁰

4  Now when Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ of his father,¹ he strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and slew^{2026 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ his brethren²⁵¹ with the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and divers also¹⁵⁷¹ of the princes^{4480 8269} of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

5  Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

6  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ like as⁸³⁴ did⁶²¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ he had¹⁹⁶¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Ahab²⁵⁶ to wife:⁸⁰² and he wrought⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  Howbeit the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ destroy^{7843 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² because of⁴⁶¹⁶ the covenant¹²⁸⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had made³⁷⁷² with David,¹⁷³² and as⁸³⁴ he promised⁵⁵⁹ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ a light⁵²¹⁶ to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ forever.^{3605 3117}

8  In his days³¹¹⁷ the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the dominion³⁰²⁷ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made^{4427 5921} themselves a king.⁴⁴²⁸

9  Then Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ went forth⁵⁶⁷⁴ with⁵⁹⁷³ his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his chariots⁷³⁹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ him: and he rose up^{1961 6965} by night,³⁹¹⁵ and smote^{5221 853} the Edomites¹²³ which compassed^{5437 413} him in, and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots.⁷³⁹³

10  So the Edomites¹²³ revolted⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} the hand³⁰²⁷ of Judah³⁰⁶³ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ The same¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ also did Libnah³⁸⁴¹ revolt⁶⁵⁸⁶ from under^{4480 8478} his hand;³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of his fathers.¹

11  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ he¹⁹³¹ made⁶²¹³ high places¹¹¹⁶ in the mountains²⁰²² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and caused ⁸⁵³ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to commit fornication,²¹⁸¹ and compelled^{5080 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ thereto.

12  And there came⁹³⁵ a writing⁴³⁸⁵ to⁴¹³ him from Elijah^{4480 452} the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ Because^{8478 834} thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² thy father,¹ nor in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³

13  But hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and hast made ⁸⁵³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ to go a whoring,²¹⁸¹ like to the whoredoms²¹⁸¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and also¹⁵⁷¹ hast slain^{2026 853} thy brethren²⁵¹ of thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which were better²⁸⁹⁶ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ thyself:

14  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ plague⁴⁰⁴⁶ will the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smite⁵⁰⁶² thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thy children,¹¹²¹ and thy wives,⁸⁰² and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy goods:⁷³⁹⁹

15  And thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt have great⁷²²⁷ sickness²⁴⁸³ by disease⁴²⁴⁵ of thy bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ thy bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fall out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sickness²⁴⁸³ day³¹¹⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ day.³¹¹⁷

16  Moreover the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ stirred up⁵⁷⁸² against⁵⁹²¹ Jehoram^{3088 853} the spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and of the Arabians,⁶¹⁶³ that⁸³⁴ were near^{5921 3027} the Ethiopians:³⁵⁶⁹

17  And they came up⁵⁹²⁷ into Judah,³⁰⁶³ and broke into¹²³⁴ it, and carried away^{7617 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the substance⁷³⁹⁹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and his sons¹¹²¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and his wives;⁸⁰² so that there was never³⁸⁰⁸ a son¹¹²¹ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ him, save^{3588 518} Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ of his sons.¹¹²¹

18  And after³¹⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵⁰⁶² him in his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ with an incurable^{369 4832} disease.²⁴⁸³

19  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that in process of time,^{3117 4480 3117} after the end^{6256 3318 7093} of two⁸¹⁴⁷ years,³¹¹⁷ his bowels⁴⁵⁷⁸ fell out³³¹⁸ by reason of⁵⁹⁷³ his sickness:²⁴⁸³ so he died⁴¹⁹¹ of sore⁷⁴⁵¹ diseases.⁸⁴⁶³ And his people⁵⁹⁷¹ made⁶²¹³ no³⁸⁰⁸ burning⁸³¹⁶ for him, like the burning⁸³¹⁶ of his fathers.¹

20  Thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years old¹¹²¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ he when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years,⁸¹⁴¹ and departed¹⁹⁸⁰ without³⁸⁰⁸ being desired.²⁵³² Howbeit they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but not³⁸⁰⁸ in the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸

2 Chronicles 22: 1-12

---

1  And the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ made ⁸⁵³ Ahaziah²⁷⁴ his youngest⁶⁹⁹⁶ son¹¹²¹ king⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead:⁸⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the band of men¹⁴¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ with the Arabians⁶¹⁶³ to the camp⁴²⁶⁴ had slain²⁰²⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the eldest.⁷²²³ So Ahaziah²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ reigned.⁴⁴²⁷

2  Forty⁷⁰⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was Ahaziah²⁷⁴ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Omri.⁶⁰¹⁸

3  He¹⁹³¹ also¹⁵⁷¹ walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ his mother⁵¹⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ his counselor³²⁸⁹ to do wickedly.⁷⁵⁶¹

4  Wherefore he did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab:²⁵⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² were¹⁹⁶¹ his counselors³²⁸⁹ after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of his father¹ to his destruction.⁴⁸⁸⁹

5  He walked¹⁹⁸⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ after their counsel,⁶⁰⁹⁸ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ at Ramoth-gilead:⁷⁴³³ and the Syrians⁷⁶¹ smote^{5221 853} Joram.³¹⁴¹

6  And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to be healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ in Jezreel³¹⁵⁷ because of³⁵⁸⁸ the wounds⁴³⁴⁷ which⁸³⁴ were given⁵²²¹ him at Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ when he fought^{3898 853} with Hazael²³⁷¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria.⁷⁵⁸ And Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went down³³⁸¹ to see^{7200 853} Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ at Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was sick.²⁴⁷⁰

7  And the destruction⁸³⁹⁵ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ of God^{4480 430} by coming⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Joram:³¹⁴¹ for when he was come,⁹³⁵ he went out³³¹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ against⁴¹³ Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nimshi,⁵²⁵⁰ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ to cut off^{3772 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab.²⁵⁶

8  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that, when Jehu³⁰⁵⁸ was executing judgment⁸¹⁹⁹ upon⁵⁹⁷³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and found^{4672 853} the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the sons¹¹²¹ of the brethren²⁵¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ that ministered⁸³³⁴ to Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ he slew²⁰²⁶ them.

9  And he sought^{1245 853} Ahaziah:²⁷⁴ and they caught³⁹²⁰ him, (for he¹⁹³¹ was hid²²⁴⁴ in Samaria,)⁸¹¹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ him to⁴¹³ Jehu:³⁰⁵⁸ and when they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ him, they buried⁶⁹¹² him: Because,³⁵⁸⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ they, he¹⁹³¹ is the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² who⁸³⁴ sought^{1875 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ his heart.³⁸²⁴ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ had no³⁶⁹ power³⁵⁸¹ to keep still⁶¹¹³ the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

10  But when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ the mother⁵¹⁷ of Ahaziah²⁷⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ her son¹¹²¹ was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ she arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and destroyed^{1696 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the seed²²³³ royal⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

11  But Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ took^{3947 853} Joash³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahaziah,²⁷⁴ and stole¹⁵⁸⁹ him from among^{4480 8432} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ sons¹¹²¹ that were slain,⁴¹⁹¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him and his nurse³²⁴³ in a bedchamber.^{2315 4296} So Jehoshabeath,³⁰⁹⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoram,³⁰⁸⁸ the wife⁸⁰² of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ (for³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ the sister²⁶⁹ of Ahaziah,)²⁷⁴ hid⁵⁶⁴¹ him from^{4480 6440} Athaliah,⁶²⁷¹ so that she slew⁴¹⁹¹ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

12  And he was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁸⁵⁴ them hid²²⁴⁴ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ six⁸³³⁷ years:⁸¹⁴¹ and Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ the land.⁷⁷⁶

2 Chronicles 23: 1-21

1  And in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jeroham,³³⁹⁵ and Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehohanan,³⁰⁷⁶ and Azariah⁵⁸³⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Obed,⁵⁷⁴⁴ and Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Adaiah,⁵⁷¹⁸ and Elishaphat⁴⁷⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Zichri,²¹⁴⁷ into covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

2  And they went about⁵⁴³⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and gathered^{6908 853} the Levites³⁸⁸¹ out of all^{4480 3605} the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

3  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son¹¹²¹ shall reign,⁴⁴²⁷ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ the sons¹¹²¹ of David.¹⁷³²

4  This²⁰⁸⁸ is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ ye shall do;⁶²¹³ A third part⁷⁹⁹² of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you entering⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ shall be porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ of the doors;⁵⁵⁹²

5  And a third part⁷⁹⁹² shall be at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and a third part⁷⁹⁹² at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the foundation:³²⁴⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall be in the courts²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  But let none⁴⁰⁸ come⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ save^{3588 518} the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and they that minister⁸³³⁴ of the Levites;³⁸⁸¹ they¹⁹⁹² shall go in,⁹³⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are holy:⁶⁹⁴⁴ but all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the watch⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

7  And the Levites³⁸⁸¹ shall compass^{5362 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ every man³⁷⁶ with his weapons³⁶²⁷ in his hand;³⁰²⁷ and whosoever else cometh⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he shall be put to death:⁴¹⁹¹ but be¹⁹⁶¹ ye with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ when he cometh in,⁹³⁵ and when he goeth out.³³¹⁸

8  So the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ did⁶²¹³ according to all things³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ had commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ and took³⁹⁴⁷ every man^{376 853} his men³⁷⁶ that were to come in⁹³⁵ on the sabbath,⁷⁶⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ them that were to go³³¹⁸ out on the sabbath:⁷⁶⁷⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ dismissed⁶³⁶² not^{3808 853} the courses.⁴²⁵⁶

9  Moreover Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds^{3967 853} spears,²⁵⁹⁵ and bucklers,⁴⁰⁴³ and shields,⁷⁹⁸² that⁸³⁴ had been king⁴⁴²⁸ David's,¹⁷³² which⁸³⁴ were in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

10  And he set^{5975 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ every man³⁷⁶ having his weapon⁷⁹⁷³ in his hand,³⁰²⁷ from the right³²³³ side^{4480 3802} of the temple¹⁰⁰⁴ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the left⁸⁰⁴² side³⁸⁰² of the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ along by the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ and the temple,¹⁰⁰⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

11  Then they brought out^{3318 853} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son,¹¹²¹ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ him ⁸⁵³ the crown,⁵¹⁴⁵ and gave him the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ and made him king.^{4427 853} And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ and his sons¹¹²¹ anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ him, and said,⁵⁵⁹ God save²⁴²¹ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  Now when Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ heard^{8085 853} the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ running⁷³²³ and praising^{1984 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ she came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸

13  And she looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at⁵⁹²¹ his pillar⁵⁹⁸² at the entering in,³⁹⁹⁶ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ by⁵⁹²¹ the king:⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁶ and sounded⁸⁶²⁸ with trumpets,²⁶⁸⁹ also the singers⁷⁸⁹¹ with instruments³⁶²⁷ of music,⁷⁸⁹² and such as taught³⁰⁴⁵ to sing praise.¹⁹⁸⁴ Then Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ rent^{7167 853} her clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Treason,⁷¹⁹⁵ Treason.⁷¹⁹⁵

14  Then Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ brought out^{3318 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds³⁹⁶⁷ that were set over⁶⁴⁸⁵ the host,²⁴²⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Have her forth³³¹⁸ of the ranges:^{413 4480 1004 7713} and whoso followeth^{935 310} her, let him be slain⁴¹⁹¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Slay⁴¹⁹¹ her not³⁸⁰⁸ in the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  So they laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ hands³⁰²⁷ on her; and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the entering³⁹⁹⁶ of the horse⁵⁴⁸³ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they slew⁴¹⁹¹ her there.⁸⁰³³

16  And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ him, and between⁹⁹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and between⁹⁹⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that they should be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

17  Then all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went to⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and broke it down,⁵⁴²² and broke his altars⁴¹⁹⁶ and his images⁶⁷⁵⁴ in pieces,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and slew²⁰²⁶ Mattan⁴⁹⁷⁷ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altars.⁴¹⁹⁶

18  Also Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ appointed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the offices⁶⁴⁸⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ whom⁸³⁴ David¹⁷³² had distributed²⁵⁰⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to offer⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² with rejoicing⁸⁰⁵⁷ and with singing,⁷⁸⁹² as it was ordained by^{5921 3027} David.¹⁷³²

19  And he set⁵⁹⁷⁵ the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ at⁵⁹²¹ the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that none³⁸⁰⁸ which was unclean²⁹³¹ in any³⁶⁰⁵ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ should enter in.⁹³⁵

20  And he took^{3947 853} the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and the nobles,¹¹⁷ and the governors⁴⁹¹⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and brought down^{3381 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ from the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and they came⁹³⁵ through⁸⁴³² the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and set^{3427 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

21  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ rejoiced:⁸⁰⁵⁵ and the city⁵⁸⁹² was quiet,⁸²⁵² after that they had slain⁴¹⁹¹ Athaliah⁶²⁷¹ with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

2 Chronicles 24: 1-27

1  Joash³¹⁰¹ was seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Zibiah⁶⁶⁴⁵ of Beer-sheba.^{4480 884}

2  And Joash³⁰⁷⁷ did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest.³⁵⁴⁸

3  And Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ took⁵³⁷⁵ for him two⁸¹⁴⁷ wives;⁸⁰² and he begot³²⁰⁵ sons¹¹²¹ and daughters.¹³²³

4  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ this,³⁶⁵¹ that Joash³¹⁰¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ minded^{5973 3820} to repair^{2318 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  And he gathered together^{6908 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ to them, Go out³³¹⁸ unto the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ of all^{4480 3605} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ money³⁷⁰¹ to repair^{2388 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of your God⁴³⁰ from^{4480 1767} year⁸¹⁴¹ to year,⁸¹⁴¹ and see that ye⁸⁵⁹ hasten⁴¹¹⁶ the matter.¹⁶⁹⁷ Howbeit the Levites³⁸⁸¹ hastened⁴¹¹⁶ it not.³⁸⁰⁸

6  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ called⁷¹²¹ for Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the chief,⁷²¹⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ hast thou not³⁸⁰⁸ required¹⁸⁷⁵ of⁵⁹²¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to bring in⁹³⁵ out of Judah^{4480 3063} and out of Jerusalem^{4480 3389 853} the collection,⁴⁸⁶⁴ according to the commandment of Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and of the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ for the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of witness?⁵⁷¹⁵

7  For³⁵⁸⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Athaliah,⁶²⁷¹ that wicked woman,⁴⁸⁴⁹ had broken up^{6555 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God;⁴³⁰ and also¹⁵⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the dedicated things⁶⁹⁴⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ did they bestow⁶²¹³ upon Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

8  And at the king's⁴⁴²⁸ commandment⁵⁵⁹ they made⁶²¹³ a²⁵⁹ chest,⁷²⁷ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ it without²³⁵¹ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

9  And they made⁵⁴¹⁴ a proclamation⁶⁹⁶³ through Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to bring in⁹³⁵ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ the collection⁴⁸⁶⁴ that Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of God⁴³⁰ laid upon⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

10  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ rejoiced,⁸⁰⁵⁵ and brought in,⁹³⁵ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ into the chest,⁷²⁷ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they had made an end.³⁶¹⁵

11  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that at what time^{6256 853} the chest⁷²⁷ was brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ office⁶⁴⁸⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ there was much⁷²²⁷ money,³⁷⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ and the high⁷²¹⁸ priest's³⁵⁴⁸ officer⁶⁴⁹⁶ came⁹³⁵ and emptied^{6168 853} the chest,⁷²⁷ and took⁵³⁷⁵ it, and carried⁷⁷²⁵ it to⁴¹³ his place⁴⁷²⁵ again. Thus³⁵⁴¹ they did⁶²¹³ day³¹¹⁷ by day,³¹¹⁷ and gathered⁶²² money³⁷⁰¹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

12  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ and Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it to⁴¹³ such as did⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hired^{1961 7936} masons²⁶⁷² and carpenters²⁷⁹⁶ to repair²³¹⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and also¹⁵⁷¹ such as wrought²⁷⁹⁶ iron¹²⁷⁰ and brass⁵¹⁷⁸ to mend^{2388 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  So the workmen^{6213 4399} wrought,⁶²¹³ and the work⁴³⁹⁹ was perfected^{5927 724} by³⁰²⁷ them, and they set^{5975 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ in⁵⁹²¹ his state,⁴⁹⁷¹ and strengthened⁵⁵³ it.

14  And when they had finished³⁶¹⁵ it, they brought^{935 853} the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the money³⁷⁰¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and Jehoiada,³⁰⁷⁷ whereof were made⁶²¹³ vessels³⁶²⁷ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ even vessels³⁶²⁷ to minister,⁸³³⁵ and to offer⁵⁹²⁷ withal, and spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver.³⁷⁰¹ And they offered^{1961 5927} burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of Jehoiada.³⁰⁷⁷

15  But Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ waxed old,²²⁰⁴ and was full⁷⁶⁴⁶ of days³¹¹⁷ when he died;⁴¹⁹¹ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ was he when he died.⁴¹⁹⁴

16  And they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² among⁵⁹⁷³ the kings,⁴⁴²⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ he had done⁶²¹³ good²⁸⁹⁶ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ both toward⁵⁹⁷³ God,⁴³⁰ and toward his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

17  Now after³¹⁰ the death⁴¹⁹⁴ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ came⁹³⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made obeisance⁷⁸¹² to the king.⁴⁴²⁸ Then²²⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ them.

18  And they left^{5800 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and served^{5647 853} groves⁸⁴² and idols:⁶⁰⁹¹ and wrath⁷¹¹⁰ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ for this²⁰⁶³ their trespass.⁸¹⁹

19  Yet he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ to them, to bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and they testified⁵⁷⁴⁹ against them: but they would not³⁸⁰⁸ give ear.²³⁸

20  And the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of God⁴³⁰ came upon^{3847 853} Zechariah²¹⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ which stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ above^{4480 5921} the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ God,⁴³⁰ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ transgress⁵⁶⁷⁴ ye^{859 853} the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that ye cannot³⁸⁰⁸ prosper?⁶⁷⁴³ because³⁵⁸⁸ ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he hath also forsaken^{5800 853} you.

21  And they conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him, and stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones⁶⁸ at the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

22  Thus Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ remembered²¹⁴² not³⁸⁰⁸ the kindness²⁶¹⁷ which⁸³⁴ Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ his father¹ had done⁶²¹³ to⁵⁹⁷³ him, but slew^{2026 853} his son.¹¹²¹ And when he died,⁴¹⁹¹ he said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ look upon⁷²⁰⁰ it, and require¹⁸⁷⁵ it.

23  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the end⁸⁶²² of the year,⁸¹⁴¹ that the host²⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ him: and they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and destroyed^{7843 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ from among the people,^{4480 5971} and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the spoil⁷⁹⁹⁸ of them unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Damascus.¹⁸³⁴

24  For³⁵⁸⁸ the army²⁴²⁸ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ came⁹³⁵ with a small company⁴⁷⁰⁵ of men,³⁷⁶ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²³⁰ host²⁴²⁸ into their hand,³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ they had forsaken^{5800 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹ So they executed⁶²¹³ judgment⁸²⁰¹ against⁸⁵⁴ Joash.³¹⁰¹

25  And when they were departed¹⁹⁸⁰ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, (for³⁵⁸⁸ they left⁵⁸⁰⁰ him in great⁷²²⁷ diseases,)⁴²⁵¹ his own servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him for the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada³⁰⁷⁷ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and slew²⁰²⁶ him on⁵⁹²¹ his bed,⁴²⁹⁶ and he died:⁴¹⁹¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² but they buried⁶⁹¹² him not³⁸⁰⁸ in the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸

26  And these⁴²⁸ are they that conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ him; Zabad²⁰⁶⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shimeath⁸¹⁰⁰ an Ammonitess,⁵⁹⁸⁴ and Jehozabad³⁰⁷⁵ the son¹¹²¹ of Shimrith⁸¹¹⁶ a Moabitess.⁴¹²⁵

27  Now concerning his sons,¹¹²¹ and the greatness⁷²³⁰ of the burdens⁴⁸⁵³ laid upon⁵⁹²¹ him, and the repairing³²⁴⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² of the kings.⁴⁴²⁸ And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

2 Chronicles 25: 1-28

---

1  Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and nine⁸⁶⁷² years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Jehoaddan³⁰⁸⁶ of Jerusalem.^{4480 3389}

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ with a perfect⁸⁰⁰³ heart.³⁸²⁴

3  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was established²³⁸⁸ to⁵⁹²¹ him, that he slew^{2026 853} his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had killed^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ his father.¹

4  But he slew⁴¹⁹¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their children,¹¹²¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ did as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in the law⁸⁴⁵¹ in the book⁵⁶¹² of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² where⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded,⁶⁶⁸⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The fathers¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the children,¹¹²¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall the children¹¹²¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ for⁵⁹²¹ the fathers,¹ but³⁵⁸⁸ every man³⁷⁶ shall die⁴¹⁹¹ for his own sin.²³⁹⁹

5  Moreover Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ gathered Judah together,^{6908 853 3063} and made⁵⁹⁷⁵ them captains⁸²⁶⁹ over thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ over hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ according to the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of their fathers,¹ throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ and he numbered⁶⁴⁸⁵ them from twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old^{4480 1121} and above,⁴⁶⁰⁵ and found⁴⁶⁷² them three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ choice⁹⁷⁷ men, able to go forth³³¹⁸ to war,⁶⁶³⁵ that could handle²⁷⁰ spear⁷⁴²⁰ and shield.⁶⁷⁹³

6  He hired⁷⁹³⁶ also a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valor²⁴²⁸ out of Israel^{4480 3478} for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver.³⁷⁰¹

7  But there came⁹³⁵ a man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ to⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ O king,⁴⁴²⁸ let not⁴⁰⁸ the army⁶⁶³⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ go⁹³⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee; for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is not³⁶⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to wit, with all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

8  But³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ wilt go,⁹³⁵ do⁶²¹³ it, be strong²³⁸⁸ for the battle:⁴⁴²¹ God⁴³⁰ shall make thee fall³⁷⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy:³⁴¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath³⁴²⁶ power³⁵⁸¹ to help,⁵⁸²⁶ and to cast down.³⁷⁸²

9  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ But what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall we do⁶²¹³ for the hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ which⁸³⁴ I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ to the army¹⁴¹⁶ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ And the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ answered,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is³⁴²⁶ able to give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee much more⁷²³⁵ than this.^{4480 2088}

10  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ separated⁹¹⁴ them, to wit, the army¹⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ him out of Ephraim,^{4480 669} to go¹⁹⁸⁰ home⁴⁷²⁵ again: wherefore their anger⁶³⁹ was greatly³⁹⁶⁶ kindled²⁷³⁴ against Judah,³⁰⁶³ and they returned⁷⁷²⁵ home⁴⁷²⁵ in great²⁷⁵⁰ anger.⁶³⁹

11  And Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ strengthened himself,²³⁸⁸ and led forth^{5090 853} his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of salt,⁴⁴¹⁷ and smote^{5221 853} of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir⁸¹⁶⁵ ten⁶²³⁵ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

12  And other ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ left alive²⁴¹⁶ did the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ carry away captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and brought⁹³⁵ them unto the top⁷²¹⁸ of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and cast them down⁷⁹⁹³ from the top^{4480 7218} of the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ that they all³⁶⁰⁵ were broken in pieces.¹²³⁴

13  But the soldiers¹¹²¹ of the army¹⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ sent back,⁷⁷²⁵ that they should not go^{4480 1980} with⁵⁹⁷³ him to battle,⁴⁴²¹ fell upon⁶⁵⁸⁴ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ from Samaria^{4480 8111} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beth-horon,¹⁰³² and smote⁵²²¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, and took⁹⁶² much⁷²²⁷ spoil.⁹⁶¹

14  Now it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ after that³¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ was come⁹³⁵ from the slaughter^{4480 5221 853} of the Edomites,¹³⁰ that he brought^{935 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the children¹¹²¹ of Seir,⁸¹⁶⁵ and set them up⁵⁹⁷⁵ to be his gods,⁴³⁰ and bowed down himself⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them, and burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto them.

15  Wherefore the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Amaziah,⁵⁵⁸ and he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ him a prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ which said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver^{5337 853} their own people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of thine hand?^{4480 3027}

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ him, that the king said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou made⁵⁴¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ counsel?³²⁸⁹ forbear;²³⁰⁸ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou be smitten?⁵²²¹ Then the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ forbore,²³⁰⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ hath determined³²⁸⁹ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thee, because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast done⁶²¹³ this,²⁰⁶³ and hast not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto my counsel.⁶⁰⁹⁸

17  Then Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ took advice,³²⁸⁹ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehu,³⁰⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ let us see one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

18  And Joash³¹⁰¹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The thistle²³³⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ the cedar⁷³⁰ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give^{5414 853} thy daughter¹³²³ to my son¹¹²¹ to wife:⁸⁰² and there passed by⁵⁶⁷⁴ a wild⁷⁷⁰⁴ beast²⁴¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and trod down^{7429 853} the thistle.²³³⁶

19  Thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou hast smitten^{5221 853} the Edomites;¹²³ and thine heart³⁸²⁰ lifteth thee up⁵³⁷⁵ to boast:³⁵¹³ abide³⁴²⁷ now⁶²⁵⁸ at home;¹⁰⁰⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ shouldest thou meddle¹⁶²⁴ to thine hurt,⁷⁴⁵¹ that thou shouldest fall,⁵³⁰⁷ even thou,⁸⁵⁹ and Judah³⁰⁶³ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee?

20  But Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ would not³⁸⁰⁸ hear;⁸⁰⁸⁵ for³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ came of God,^{4480 430} that⁴⁶¹⁶ he might deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies, because³⁵⁸⁸ they sought after^{1875 853} the gods⁴³⁰ of Edom.¹²³

21  So Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went up;⁵⁹²⁷ and they saw one another⁷²⁰⁰ in the face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ both he¹⁹³¹ and Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ which⁸³⁴ belongeth to Judah.³⁰⁶³

22  And Judah³⁰⁶³ was put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and they fled⁵¹²⁷ every man³⁷⁶ to his tent.¹⁶⁸

23  And Joash³¹⁰¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ took⁸⁶¹⁰ Amaziah⁵⁵⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ the son¹¹²¹ of Joash,³¹⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoahaz,³⁰⁵⁹ at Beth-shemesh,¹⁰⁵³ and brought⁹³⁵ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and broke down⁶⁵⁵⁵ the wall²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ from the gate^{4480 8179} of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the corner⁶⁴³⁸ gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ cubits.⁵²⁰

24  And he took all³⁶⁰⁵ the gold²⁰⁹¹ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that were found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God⁴³⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ Obed-edom,^5654<
