CHAPTER 33
2 Chronicles 33:1
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty
and five years in Jerusalem:
2 Chronicles 33:2
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the
abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of
Israel.
2 Chronicles 33:3
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down,
and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the
host of heaven, and served them. 2 Chronicles 33:4
4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In
Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 2 Chronicles 33:5
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house
of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 33:6
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son
of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft,
and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in
the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 2 Chronicles 33:7
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God,
of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in
Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put
my name for ever:
2 Chronicles 33:8
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which
I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I
have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the
ordinances by the hand of Moses. 2 Chronicles 33:9
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do
worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of
Israel.
2 Chronicles 33:10
10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not
hearken.
2 Chronicles 33:11
11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of
Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and
carried him to Babylon. 2 Chronicles 33:12
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled
himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 2 Chronicles 33:13
13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his
supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then
Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God. 2 Chronicles 33:14
14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side
of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and
compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put
captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. 2 Chronicles 33:15
15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the
LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the
LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 2 Chronicles 33:16
16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace
offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of
Israel.
2 Chronicles 33:17
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the
LORD their God only.
2 Chronicles 33:18
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the
words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel,
behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. 2 Chronicles
33:19
19 His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his
trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and
graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the
sayings of the seers.
2 Chronicles 33:20
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house:
and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chronicles 33:21
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two
years in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 33:22
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his
father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his
father had made, and served them; 2 Chronicles 33:23
23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled
himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. 2 Chronicles 33:24
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 2
Chronicles 33:25
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king
Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. CHAPTER
34
2 Chronicles 34:1
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in
Jerusalem one and thirty years.
2 Chronicles 34:2
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the
ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the
left.
2 Chronicles 34:3
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek
after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge
Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved
images, and the molten images. 2 Chronicles 34:4
4 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images,
that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved
images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and
strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them. 2
Chronicles 34:5
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah
and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 34:6
6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto
Naphtali, with their mattocks round about. 2 Chronicles 34:7
7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the
graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land
of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 34:8
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the
house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the
city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the
LORD his God.
2 Chronicles 34:9
9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that
was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had
gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of
Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 34:10
10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the
house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of
the LORD, to repair and amend the house: 2 Chronicles 34:11
11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and
timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had
destroyed.
2 Chronicles 34:12
12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath
and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam,
of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites,
all that could skill of instruments of musick. 2 Chronicles 34:13
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that
wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were
scribes, and officers, and porters. 2 Chronicles 34:14
14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the
LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
2 Chronicles 34:15
15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book
of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to
Shaphan.
2 Chronicles 34:16
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back
again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it. 2
Chronicles 34:17
17 And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the
LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of
the workmen.
2 Chronicles 34:18
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given
me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 2 Chronicles 34:19
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he
rent his clothes.
2 Chronicles 34:20
20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the
son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's,
saying,
2 Chronicles 34:21
21 Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in
Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath
of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept
the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
2 Chronicles 34:22
22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the
prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper
of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they
spake to her to that effect.
2 Chronicles 34:23
23 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man
that sent you to me,
2 Chronicles 34:24
24 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the
inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which
they have read before the king of Judah: 2 Chronicles 34:25
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that
they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my
wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
2 Chronicles 34:26
26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall
ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which
thou hast heard;
2 Chronicles 34:27
27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God,
when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants
thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep
before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD. 2 Chronicles 34:28
28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy
grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring
upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king
word again.
2 Chronicles 34:29
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and
Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 34:30
30 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the
people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the
book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 34:31
31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to
walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and
his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the
words of the covenant which are written in this book. 2 Chronicles 34:32
32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to
it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the
God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles 34:33
33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that
pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel
to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed
not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers. CHAPTER 35
2 Chronicles 35:1
1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed
the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 Chronicles 35:2
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service
of the house of the LORD,
2 Chronicles 35:3
3 And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the
LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of
Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now
the LORD your God, and his people Israel, 2 Chronicles 35:4
4 And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses,
according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing
of Solomon his son.
2 Chronicles 35:5
5 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the
fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of
the Levites.
2 Chronicles 35:6
6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren,
that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 2
Chronicles 35:7
7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the
passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty
thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
2 Chronicles 35:8
8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the
Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave
unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred
small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 2 Chronicles 35:9
9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and
Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover
offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen. 2 Chronicles
35:10
10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the
Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment. 2 Chronicles
35:11
11 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their
hands, and the Levites flayed them. 2 Chronicles 35:12
12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the
divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is
written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen. 2 Chronicles 35:13
13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the
other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and
divided them speedily among all the people. 2 Chronicles 35:14
14 And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because
the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and
the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the
priests the sons of Aaron. 2 Chronicles 35:15
15 And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the
commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and
the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service;
for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 2 Chronicles 35:16
16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the
passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to
the commandment of king Josiah.
2 Chronicles 35:17
17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time,
and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 2 Chronicles 35:18
18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of
Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as
Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel
that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 35:19
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. 2
Chronicles 35:20
20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt
came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against
him.
2 Chronicles 35:21
21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou
king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house
wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from
meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not. 2 Chronicles
35:22
22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself,
that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from
the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. 2 Chronicles
35:23
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have
me away; for I am sore wounded. 2 Chronicles 35:24
24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the
second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and
was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and
Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
2 Chronicles 35:25
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing
women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an
ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations. 2
Chronicles 35:26
26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that
which was written in the law of the LORD, 2 Chronicles 35:27
27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah.
CHAPTER 36
2 Chronicles 36:1
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him
king in his father's stead in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:2
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 36:3
3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an
hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 2 Chronicles 36:4
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,
and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and
carried him to Egypt. 2 Chronicles 36:5
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight
of the LORD his God.
2 Chronicles 36:6
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters,
to carry him to Babylon.
2 Chronicles 36:7
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to
Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 2 Chronicles 36:8
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and
that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings
of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 2
Chronicles 36:9
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three
months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight
of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 36:10
10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to
Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah
his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:11
11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned
eleven years in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 36:12
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled
not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 36:13
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by
God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the
LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 36:14
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very
much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the
LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 2 Chronicles 36:15
15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up
betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his
dwelling place:
2 Chronicles 36:16
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused
his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there
was no remedy.
2 Chronicles 36:17
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their
young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion
upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them
all into his hand.
2 Chronicles 36:18
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures
of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes;
all these he brought to Babylon. 2 Chronicles 36:19
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and
burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels
thereof.
2 Chronicles 36:20
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where
they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of
Persia:
2 Chronicles 36:21
21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had
enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to
fulfil threescore and ten years. 2 Chronicles 36:22
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD
spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all
his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Chronicles 36:23
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD
God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in
Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The
LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
