2 Chronicles 28

1AhazH271 was twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 sixteenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 notH3808 that whichH5869 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1: 2but he walked in the waysH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, and madeH6213 also molten imagesH4541 for the Baalim. 3Moreover he burntH6999 incenseH6999 in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, and burntH6999 his childrenH1121 in the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathen, whomH834 the LORDH3069 castH3423 outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4And he sacrificedH2076 and burntH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086. 5Wherefore the LORDH3068 his GodH430 deliveredH5414 him intoH935 the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758; and they smoteH5221 him, and carriedH7617 awayH7617 of his a greatH1419 multitude of captivesH7633, and broughtH935 them to DamascusH1834. And he was also deliveredH5414 intoH935 the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 him with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. 6For PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 slewH2026 in JudahH3063 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in one dayH3117, allH3605 of them valiantH2428 menH1121; becauseH3117 they had forsaken the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. 7And ZichriH2147, a mightyH1368 manH1368 of EphraimH669, slewH2026 MaaseiahH4641 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, and AzrikamH5840 the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004, and ElkanahH511 that was nextH4932 to the kingH4428. 8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 carriedH7617 awayH7617 captiveH7617 of their brethrenH251 twoH3967 hundredH3967 thousandH505, womenH802, sonsH1121, and daughtersH1323, and tookH7617 also awayH7617 muchH7227 spoilH7998 from them, and broughtH935 the spoilH7998 to SamariaH8111. 9But a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 was there, whoseH8034 nameH8034 was OdedH5752: and he wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH6440 the hostH6635 that cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and saidH559 unto them, BeholdH2009, becauseH5921 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, was wroth with JudahH3063, he hath deliveredH5414 them intoH935 your handH3027, and ye have slainH2026 them in a rageH2534 whichH8033 hath reachedH935 upH5704 unto heavenH8064. 10And nowH6258 ye purpose to keep underH3389 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmen and bondwomen unto youH859: but are there notH3808 evenH3808 with youH859 trespasses of your ownH5973 againstH5973 the LORDH3068 your GodH430? 11NowH6258 hearH8085 meH7725 therefore, and send backH7725 the captivesH7633, whichH834 ye have takenH7617 captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 is uponH5921 youH834. 12Then certainH376 of the headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 JohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919, and JehizkiahH3169 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311, stoodH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 them that cameH935 from the warH6635, 13and saidH559 unto them, Ye shall notH3808 bringH935 in the captivesH7633 hither: for ye purpose that which will bringH935 uponH5921 usH5921 a trespass againstH5921 the LORDH3068, to addH3254 unto our sinsH2403 and to our trespass: for our trespass is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 againstH5921 IsraelH3478. 14SoH6440 the armedH2502 menH3605 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the spoilH961 beforeH6440 the princesH8269 and allH3605 the congregationH6951. 15And the menH376 whichH834 have been expressed by nameH8034 roseH6965 upH6965, and tookH2388 the captivesH7633, and with the spoilH7998 clothedH3847 allH3605 that were nakedH4636 among them, and arrayedH3847 them, and shod them, and gaveH8248 them to eatH398 and to drinkH8248, and anointed them, and carriedH2388 allH3605 the feebleH3782 of them uponH935 asses, and broughtH935 them to JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palmH8558 treesH8558, unto their brethrenH251: then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111. 16At that time did kingH4428 AhazH271 sendH7971 unto the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 to helpH5826 him. 17For againH5750 the EdomitesH130 had comeH935 and smittenH5221 JudahH3063, and carriedH7617 awayH7617 captivesH7628. 18The PhilistinesH6430 also had invadedH6584 the citiesH5892 of the lowlandH8219, and of the SouthH5045 of JudahH3063, and had takenH3920 Beth-shemeshH1053, and AijalonH357, and GederothH1450, and SocoH7755 with the townsH1323 thereof, and TimnahH8553 with the townsH1323 thereof, GimzoH1579 also and the townsH1323 thereof: and they dweltH3427 there. 19For the LORDH3068 brought JudahH3063 low becauseH3588 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; for he had dealt wantonly in JudahH3063, and trespassed sore againstH4604 the LORDH3068. 20And Tilgath-pilneserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 unto him, and distressed him, but strengthenedH2388 him notH3808. 21For AhazH271 tookH853 away a portion outH853 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and outH853 of the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, and gaveH5414 it unto the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804: but it helped him notH3808. 22And in the time of his distress didH3254 he trespass yet moreH3254 against the LORDH3068, this sameH1931 kingH4428 AhazH271. 23For he sacrificedH2076 unto the godsH430 of DamascusH1834, which smoteH5221 him: and he saidH559, BecauseH3588 the godsH430 of the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758 helpH5826 them, therefore will I sacrificeH2076 to them, that they may helpH5826 meH5221. But they were the ruin of him, and of allH3605 IsraelH3478. 24And AhazH271 gatheredH622 togetherH622 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and cutH7112 in piecesH7112 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and shutH5462 upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and he madeH6213 him altarsH4196 in everyH3605 cornerH6438 of JerusalemH3389. 25And in everyH3605 several cityH5892 of JudahH3063 he madeH6213 highH1116 placesH1116 to burnH6999 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and provokedH3707 to angerH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of his fathersH1. 26NowH2005 the restH3499 of his actsH1697, and allH3605 his waysH1870, firstH7223 and lastH314, beholdH2005, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. 27And AhazH271 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892, evenH3588 in JerusalemH3389; for they broughtH935 him notH3808 intoH935 the sepulchres of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478: and HezekiahH2396 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
