CHAPTER 22
II KINGS 22:1
1 A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he
hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of
Adaiah of Boskath,
II KINGS 22:2
2 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in all
the way of David his father, and hath not turned aside - right or left. II
KINGS 22:3
3 And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath
sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of
Jehovah, saying,
II KINGS 22:4
4 'Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is
brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have
gathered from the people,
II KINGS 22:5
5 and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in
the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that [is] in
the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach of the house, II KINGS 22:6
6 to artificers, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the wall, and to buy
wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house; II KINGS 22:7
7 only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for
in faithfulness they are dealing. II KINGS 22:8
8 And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, 'A book of the law
I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto
Shaphan, and he readeth it.
II KINGS 22:9
9 And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back
word, and saith, 'Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found
in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the
inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.' II KINGS 22:10
10 And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, 'A book hath Hilkiah
the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth it before the king. II KINGS 22:11
11 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the book of the
law, that he rendeth his garments,
II KINGS 22:12
12 and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and
Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the
king, saying,
II KINGS 22:13
13 'Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning
the words of this book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that
is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the
words of this book, to do according to all that is written for us.'
II KINGS 22:14
14 And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and
Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of
Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second,
and they speak unto her.
II KINGS 22:15
15 And she saith unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man
who hath sent you unto me:
II KINGS 22:16
16 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its
inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read, II
KINGS 22:17
17 because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to
provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath been
kindled against this place, and it is not quenched. II KINGS 22:18
18 'And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye
say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast heard
-
II KINGS 22:19
19 because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in
thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its
inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy
garments, and weep before Me - I also have heard - the affirmation of Jehovah -
II KINGS 22:20
20 therefore, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been
gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil
that I am bringing in on this place;' and they bring the king back word.
CHAPTER 23
II KINGS 23:1
1 And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and
Jerusalem,
II KINGS 23:2
2 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and
all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets,
and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the
words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
II KINGS 23:3
3 And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah,
to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His
statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of
this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the
covenant.
II KINGS 23:4
4 And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the
second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of
Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all
the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in
the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El. II KINGS 23:5
5 And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah
have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and
suburbs of Jerusalem,) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the
moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens. II KINGS 23:6
6 And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of
Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and
beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the
people.
II KINGS 23:7
7 And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house
of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine. II KINGS 23:8
8 And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth
the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba,
and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of
the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man's left hand at the
gate of the city;
II KINGS 23:9
9 only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in
Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their
brethren.
II KINGS 23:10
10 And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to
Molech.
II KINGS 23:11
11 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the
sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of
Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun
he hath burnt with fire.
II KINGS 23:12
12 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the
kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the
house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast
their dust unto the brook Kidron. II KINGS 23:13
13 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the
right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to
Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to
Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled. II KINGS 23:14
14 And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the
shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men; II KINGS 23:15
15 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of
Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he
hath broken down, and doth burn the high place - he hath beat it small to dust,
and hath burnt the shrine. II KINGS 23:16
16 And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and
sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the
altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God
proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. II KINGS 23:17
17 And he saith, 'What [is] this sign that I see?' and the men of the city say
unto him, 'The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and
proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.'
II KINGS 23:18
18 And he saith, 'Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;' and they let his
bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria. II KINGS
23:19
19 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of
Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned
aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
II KINGS 23:20
20 And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the
altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
II KINGS 23:21
21 And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, 'Make ye a passover
to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.'
II KINGS 23:22
22 Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the
judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the
kings of Judah;
II KINGS 23:23
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to
Jehovah in Jerusalem.
II KINGS 23:24
24 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim,
and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah,
and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the
law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the
house of Jehovah.
II KINGS 23:25
25 And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto
Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might,
according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like
him.
II KINGS 23:26
26 Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger
with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with
which Manasseh provoked him,
II KINGS 23:27
27 and Jehovah saith, 'Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned
Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen - Jerusalem, and
the house of which I said, My name is there.' II KINGS 23:28
28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not
written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? II KINGS 23:29
29 In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of
Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he
putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him. II KINGS 23:30
30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to
Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take
Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his
father.
II KINGS 23:31
31 A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three
months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal
daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
II KINGS 23:32
32 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his
fathers did,
II KINGS 23:33
33 and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from
reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land - a hundred talents of
silver, and a talent of gold.
II KINGS 23:34
34 And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah
his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away,
and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there. II KINGS 23:35
35 And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued
the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to
his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land,
to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh. II KINGS 23:36
36 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven
years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah
daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
II KINGS 23:37
37 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his
fathers did.
CHAPTER 24
II KINGS 24:1
1 In his days hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and Jehoiakim is to
him a servant three years; and he turneth and rebelleth against him, II KINGS
24:2
2 and Jehovah sendeth against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops
of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He
sendeth them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah,
that He spake by the hand of His servants the prophets; II KINGS 24:3
3 only, by the command of Jehovah it hath been against Judah to turn [them]
aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he
did,
II KINGS 24:4
4 and also the innocent blood that he hath shed, and he filleth Jerusalem with
innocent blood, and Jehovah was not willing to forgive. II KINGS 24:5
5 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not
written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? II KINGS 24:6
6 And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigneth in his
stead.
II KINGS 24:7
7 And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out from his own land,
for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river
Phrat, all that had been to the king of Egypt. II KINGS 24:8
8 A son of eighteen years [is] Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months he
hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta, daughter
of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
II KINGS 24:9
9 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his
fathers did.
II KINGS 24:10
10 At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to
Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege, II KINGS 24:11
11 and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the city, and his servants
are laying siege to it,
II KINGS 24:12
12 and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of Babylon, he, and his
mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of
Babylon taketh him in the eighth year of his reign, II KINGS 24:13
13 and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the
treasures of the house of the king, and cutteth in pieces all the vessels of
gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had
spoken.
II KINGS 24:14
14 And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty
ones of valour - ten thousand [is] the removal - and every artificer and
smith, none hath been left save the poor of the people of the land. II KINGS
24:15
15 And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the
wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land - he hath
caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon, II KINGS 24:16
16 and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the artificers and the smiths
a thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon
bringeth them in a captivity to Babylon. II KINGS 24:17
17 And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father's brother to reign in
his stead, and turneth his name to Zedekiah. II KINGS 24:18
18 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven
years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal
daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
II KINGS 24:19
19 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah according to all that
Jehoiakim did,
II KINGS 24:20
20 for, by the anger of Jehovah it hath been against Jerusalem and against
Judah, till he cast them out from His presence, that Zedekiah rebelleth against
the king of Babylon.
CHAPTER 25
II KINGS 25:1
1 And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in
the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, he and all
his force, against Jerusalem, and encampeth against it, and buildeth against it
a fortification round about. II KINGS 25:2
2 And the city entereth into siege till the eleventh year of king Zedekiah, II
KINGS 25:3
3 on the ninth of the month - when the famine is severe in the city, and there
hath not been bread for the people of the land, II KINGS 25:4
4 then the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of
the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the
Chaldeans [are] against the city round about, and [the king] goeth the way of
the plain.
II KINGS 25:5
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the
plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him; II KINGS
25:6
6 and they seize the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon, to
Riblah, and they speak with him - judgment. II KINGS 25:7
7 And the sons of Zedekiah they have slaughtered before his eyes, and the eyes
of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and bindeth him with brazen fetters, and they
bring him to Babylon.
II KINGS 25:8
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth
year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), hath Nebuzaradan chief of the
executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, come to Jerusalem,
II KINGS 25:9
9 and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the
houses of Jerusalem, yea, every great house he hath burned with fire; II KINGS
25:10
10 and the walls of Jerusalem round about have all the forces of the Chaldeans,
who [are] with the chief of the executioners, broken down. II KINGS 25:11
11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who
have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, hath
Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners removed; II KINGS 25:12
12 and of the poor of the land hath the chief of the executioners left for
vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
II KINGS 25:13
13 And the pillars of brass that [are] in the house of Jehovah, and the bases,
and the sea of brass, that [is] in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans
broken in pieces, and bear away their brass to Babylon. II KINGS 25:14
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the
vessels of brass with which they minister they have taken, II KINGS 25:15
15 and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, hath the chief
of the executioners taken.
II KINGS 25:16
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house
of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these vessels; II KINGS
25:17
17 eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the chapiter on it
[is] of brass, and the height of the chapiter [is] three cubits, and the net
and the pomegranates [are] on the chapiter round about - the whole [is] of
brass; and like these hath the second pillar, with the net. II KINGS 25:18
18 And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and
Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold, II KINGS
25:19
19 and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch who is appointed over the
men of war, and five men of those seeing the king's face who have been found in
the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the
land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city,
II KINGS 25:20
20 and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners taketh them, and causeth them to
go unto the king of Babylon, to Libnah, II KINGS 25:21
21 and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah,
in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its land. II KINGS 25:22
22 And the people that is left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon hath left - he appointeth over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of
Shaphan.
II KINGS 25:23
23 And all the heads of the forces hear - they and the men - that the king of
Babylon hath appointed Gedaliah, and they come in unto Gedaliah, to Mizpah,
even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraia h son of
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite - they and
their men;
II KINGS 25:24
24 and Gedaliah sweareth to them, and to their men, and saith to them, 'Be not
afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king
of Babylon, and it is good for you.' II KINGS 25:25
25 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath Ishmael son of
Nathaniah, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him,
and they smite Gedaliah, and he dieth, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have
been with him in Mizpah.
II KINGS 25:26
26 And all the people rise, from small even unto great, and the heads of the
forces, and come in to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the
Chaldeans.
II KINGS 25:27
27 And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of
Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and seventh of
the month hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his
reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
II KINGS 25:28
28 and speaketh with him good things and putteth his throne above the throne of
the kings who [are] with him in Babylon, II KINGS 25:29
29 and hath changed the garments of his restraint, and he hath eaten bread
continually before him all days of his life, II KINGS 25:30
30 and his allowance - a continual allowance - hath been given to him from the
king, the matter of a day in its day, all days of his life. _
