2 Chronicles 29:1-11

1HezekiahH2396 began to reignH4427 when he was fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121; and he reignedH4427 nineH8672 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AbijahH29 the daughterH1323 of ZechariahH2148.

2And he didH6213 that whichH834 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to allH3605 that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had doneH6213.

3He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and repairedH2388 them.

4And he broughtH935 in the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gatheredH622 them togetherH622 intoH935 the broad placeH935 on the eastH4217,

5and saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 meH4480, ye LevitesH3881; nowH6258 sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carryH3318 forthH3318 the filthiness outH3318 of the holyH6944 placeH6944.

6For our fathersH1 have trespassed, and doneH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsaken him, and have turnedH5437 awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitation of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5437 their backsH6203.

7Also they have shutH5462 upH5927 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and putH5927 outH853 the lampsH5216, and have notH3808 burnedH6999 incenseH7004 norH3808 offeredH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH3478 in the holyH6944 placeH6944 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

8Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was uponH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and an hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869.

9For, loH2009, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.

10NowH6258 it is in mineH4480 heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from usH7725.

11My sonsH1121, be notH408 nowH6258 negligent: for the LORDH3068 hath chosen youH3588 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to ministerH8334 unto him, and that ye should be his ministersH8334, and burnH6999 incenseH6999.
