2Chronicles:28-36




ylt@2Chronicles:28:1 @A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not done that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, as David his father,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:2 @and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also, molten images hath made for Baalim,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:3 @and himself hath made perfume in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burneth his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:4 @and sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and on the heights, and under every green tree.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:5 @And Jehovah his God giveth him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they smite him, and take captive from him a great captivity, and bring [them] in to Damascus, and also into the hand of the king of Israel he hath been given, and he smiteth him -- a great smiting.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:6 @And Pekah son of Remaliah slayeth in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day (the whole [are] sons of valour), because of their forsaking Jehovah, God of their fathers.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:7 @And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slayeth Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second to the king.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:8 @And the sons of Israel take captive of their brethren, two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, and also much spoil they have seized from them, and they bring in the spoil to Samaria.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:9 @And there hath been there a prophet of Jehovah (Oded [is] his name), and he goeth out before the host that hath come in to Samaria, and saith to them, 'Lo, in the fury of Jehovah God of your fathers against Judah, He hath given them into your hand, and ye slay among them in rage -- unto the heavens it hath come;

ylt@2Chronicles:28:10 @and now, sons of Judah and Jerusalem ye are saying to subdue for men-servants and for maid-servants to you; but are there not with you causes of guilt before Jehovah your God?

ylt@2Chronicles:28:11 @and now, hear me, and send back the captives whom ye have taken captive of your brethren, for the heat of the anger of Jehovah [is] upon you.'

ylt@2Chronicles:28:12 @And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:13 @and say to them, 'Ye do not bring in the captives hither, for, to guilt against Jehovah on us, ye are saying to add unto our sin and unto our guilt? for abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.'

ylt@2Chronicles:28:14 @And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;

ylt@2Chronicles:28:15 @and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and all their naked ones they have clothed from the spoil, yea, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on asses, even every feeble one, and bring them in to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brethren, and turn back to Samaria.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:16 @At that time hath king Ahaz sent unto the king of Asshur to give help to him;

ylt@2Chronicles:28:17 @and again the Edomites have come, and smite in Judah, and take captive a captivity.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell there,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:19 @for Jehovah hath humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:20 @And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur cometh in unto him, and doth distress him, and hath not strengthened him,

ylt@2Chronicles:28:21 @though Ahaz hath taken a portion [out] of the house of Jehovah, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and giveth to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:22 @And in the time of his distress -- he addeth to trespass against Jehovah, (this king Ahaz),

ylt@2Chronicles:28:23 @and he sacrificeth to the gods of Damascus -- those smiting him, and saith, 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, to them I sacrifice, and they help me,' and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:24 @And Ahaz gathereth the vessels of the house of God, and cutteth in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shutteth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and maketh to himself altars in every corner in Jerusalem.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:25 @And in every city and city of Judah he hath made high places to make perfume to other gods, and provoketh Jehovah, God of his fathers.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:26 @And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him in to the graves of the kings of Israel, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his stead.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:1 @Hezekiah hath reigned -- a son of twenty and five years, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abijah daughter of Zechariah;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:2 @and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father did.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:3 @He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, hath opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and strengtheneth them,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:4 @and bringeth in the priests and the Levites, and gathereth them to the broad place to the east.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:5 @And he saith to them, 'Hear me, O Levites, now, sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, God of your fathers, and bring out the impurity from the sanctuary,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:6 @for our fathers have trespassed, and done that which is evil in the eyes of Jehovah our God, and forsake him, and turn round their faces from the tabernacle of Jehovah, and give the neck.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:7 @'Also -- they have shut the doors of the porch, and quench the lamps, and perfume they have not made, and burnt-offering have not caused to ascend in the sanctuary to the God of Israel,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:8 @and the wrath of Jehovah is on Judah and Jerusalem, and He giveth them for a trembling, for an astonishment, and for a hissing, as ye are seeing with your eyes.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:9 @And lo, fallen have our fathers by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives [are] in captivity for this.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:10 @'Now -- with my heart -- to make a covenant before Jehovah, God of Israel, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from us.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:11 @My sons, be not now at rest, for on you hath Jehovah fixed to stand before Him, to serve Him, and to be to Him ministering and making perfume.'

ylt@2Chronicles:29:12 @And the Levites rise -- Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathite; and of the sons of Merari: Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehalelel; and of the Gershonite: Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:13 @and of the sons of Elizaphan: Shimri, and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph: Zechariah and Mattaniah;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:14 @and of the sons of Heman: Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel --

ylt@2Chronicles:29:15 @and they gather their brethren, and sanctify themselves, and come in, according to the command of the king in the matters of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:16 @and the priests come in to the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse [it], and bring out all the uncleanness that they have found in the temple of Jehovah to the court of the house of Jehovah, and the Levites receive [it], to take [it] out to the brook Kidron without.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:17 @And they begin on the first of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they have come to the porch of Jehovah, and they sanctify the house of Jehovah in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they have finished.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:18 @And they come in within unto Hezekiah the king, and say, 'We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and the table of the arrangement, and all its vessels,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:19 @and all the vessels that king Ahaz cast away in his reign -- in his trespass -- we have prepared and sanctified, and lo, they [are] before the altar of Jehovah.'

ylt@2Chronicles:29:20 @And Hezekiah the king riseth early, and gathereth the heads of the city, and goeth up to the house of Jehovah;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:21 @and they bring in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven young he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah; and he saith to sons of Aaron, the priests, to cause [them] to ascend on the altar of Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:22 @And they slaughter the oxen, and the priests receive the blood, and sprinkle on the altar; and they slaughter the rams, and sprinkle the blood on the altar; and they slaughter the lambs, and sprinkle the blood on the altar;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:23 @and they bring nigh the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the assembly, and they lay their hands upon them;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:24 @and the priests slaughter them, and make a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel, for 'For all Israel,' said the king, '[is] the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.'

ylt@2Chronicles:29:25 @And he appointeth the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, by the command of David, and of Gad, seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet, for by the hand of Jehovah [is] the command, by the hand of His prophets;

ylt@2Chronicles:29:26 @and the Levites stand with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah saith to cause the burnt-offering to ascend on the altar; and at the time the burnt-offering began -- began the song of Jehovah, and the trumpets, even by the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:28 @And all the assembly are doing obeisance, and the singers singing, and the trumpeters blowing; the whole [is] till the completion of the burnt-offering.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:29 @And at the completion of the offering up bowed have the king and all those found with him, and do obeisance.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:30 @And Hezekiah the king saith, and the princes, to the Levites to give praise to Jehovah in the words of David, and of Asaph the seer, and they praise -- unto joy, and they bow, and do obeisance.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:31 @And Hezekiah answereth and saith, 'Now ye have filled your hand to Jehovah, come nigh, and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah;' and the assembly bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings, and every willing-hearted one -- burnt-offerings.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:32 @And the number of the burnt-offerings that the assembly have brought in, is seventy oxen, a hundred rams, lambs two hundred; for a burnt-offering to Jehovah [are] all these.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:33 @And the sanctified things [are] oxen six hundred, and sheep three thousand.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:34 @Only, the priests have become few, and have not been able to strip the whole of the burnt-offerings, and their brethren the Levites strengthen them till the completion of the work, and till the priests sanctify themselves, for the Levites [are] more upright of heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

ylt@2Chronicles:29:35 @And also, burnt-offerings [are] in abundance, with fat of the peace-offerings, and with oblations for the burnt-offering; and the service of the house of Jehovah is established,

ylt@2Chronicles:29:36 @and rejoice doth Hezekiah and all the people, because of God's giving preparation to the people, for the thing hath been suddenly.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:1 @And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:2 @And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make the passover in the second month,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:3 @for they have not been able to make it at that time, for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and the people have not been gathered to Jerusalem.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:4 @And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:5 @and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done as it is written.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:6 @And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads, into all Israel and Judah, even according to the command of the king, saying, 'O sons of Israel, turn back unto Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;

ylt@2Chronicles:30:7 @and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do see.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:8 @'Now, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you;

ylt@2Chronicles:30:9 @for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto Him.'

ylt@2Chronicles:30:10 @And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at them,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:11 @only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:12 @Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;

ylt@2Chronicles:30:13 @and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month -- a mighty assembly for multitude.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:14 @And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside, and cast [them] to the brook Kidron;

ylt@2Chronicles:30:15 @and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:16 @And they stand on their station according to their ordinance; according to the law of Moses the man of God the priests are sprinkling the blood out of the hand of the Levites,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:17 @for many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him] to Jehovah:

ylt@2Chronicles:30:18 @for a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written; but Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, 'Jehovah, who [is] good, doth receive atonement for every one

ylt@2Chronicles:30:19 @who hath prepared his heart to seek God -- Jehovah, God of his fathers -- yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary;'

ylt@2Chronicles:30:20 @and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:21 @And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:22 @And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, God of their fathers.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:23 @And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days [with] joy;

ylt@2Chronicles:30:24 @for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.

ylt@2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the assembly of Judah rejoice, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from Israel, and the sojourners, those coming in from the land of Israel, and those dwelling in Judah,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:26 @and there is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this in Jerusalem,

ylt@2Chronicles:30:27 @and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:1 @And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:2 @And Hezekiah appointeth the courses of the priests, and of the Levites, by their courses, each according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:3 @And a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:4 @And he saith to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests, and of the Levites, so that they are strengthened in the law of Jehovah;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:5 @and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of Israel multiplied the first-fruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe of the whole in abundance they have brought in.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:6 @And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have brought in, and they give -- heaps, heaps;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:7 @in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:8 @And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and bless Jehovah and His people Israel,

ylt@2Chronicles:31:9 @and Hezekiah inquireth at the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,

ylt@2Chronicles:31:10 @and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok, speaketh unto him, and saith, 'From the beginning of the bringing of the heave-offering to the house of Jehovah, [there is] to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for Jehovah hath blessed His people, and that left [is] this store.'

ylt@2Chronicles:31:11 @And Hezekiah saith to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah, and they prepare,

ylt@2Chronicles:31:12 @and they bring in the heave-offering, and the tithe, and the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother [is] second;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:13 @and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, [are] inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah leader of the house of God.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:14 @And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east, [is] over the willing-offerings of God, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, and the most holy things.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:15 @And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great so the small,

ylt@2Chronicles:31:16 @apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three years and upward, to every one who hath gone in to the house of Jehovah, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service in their charges, according to their courses;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:17 @and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and upward, in their charges, in their courses;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:18 @and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:19 @And to sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the suburb of their cities, in every city and city, [are] men who have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among the priests, and to every one who reckoned himself by genealogy among the Levites.

ylt@2Chronicles:31:20 @And Hezekiah doth thus in all Judah, and doth that which is good, and that which is right, and that which is true, before Jehovah his God;

ylt@2Chronicles:31:21 @and in every work that he hath begun for the service of the house of God, and for the law, and for the command, to seek to his God, with all his heart he hath wrought and prospered.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:1 @After these things and this truth, come hath Sennacherib king of Asshur, yea, he cometh in to Judah, and encampeth against the cities of the bulwarks, and saith to rend them unto himself.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:2 @And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:3 @and he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside of the city -- and they help him,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:4 @and much people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, 'Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?'

ylt@2Chronicles:32:5 @And he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken, and causeth [it] to ascend unto the towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and strengtheneth Millo, [in] the city of David, and maketh darts in abundance, and shields.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:6 @And he putteth heads of war over the people, and gathereth them unto him, unto the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaketh unto their heart, saying,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:7 @'Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than with him.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:8 @With him [is] an arm of flesh, and with us [is] Jehovah our God, to help us, and to fight our battles;' and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:9 @After this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his servants to Jerusalem -- and he [is] by Lachish, and all his power with him -- against Hezekiah king of Judah, and against all Judah, who [are] in Jerusalem, saying,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:10 @'Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem?

ylt@2Chronicles:32:11 @'Is not Hezekiah persuading you, to give you up to die by famine, and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God doth deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur?

ylt@2Chronicles:32:12 @Hath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places, and His altars, and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar ye bow yourselves, and on it ye make perfume?

ylt@2Chronicles:32:13 @'Do ye not know what I have done -- I and my fathers -- to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?

ylt@2Chronicles:32:14 @Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?

ylt@2Chronicles:32:15 @'And, now, let not Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God doth not deliver you from my hand!'

ylt@2Chronicles:32:16 @And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God, and against Hezekiah His servant,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:17 @and letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, 'As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver His people from my hand.'

ylt@2Chronicles:32:18 @And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish, against the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:19 @and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land -- work of the hands of man.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:20 @And Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:21 @and Jehovah sendeth a messenger, and cutteth off every mighty one of valour -- both leader and head -- in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turneth back with shame of face to his land, and entereth the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:22 @And Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur, and from the hand of all, and He leadeth them round about;

ylt@2Chronicles:32:23 @and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:24 @In those days hath Hezekiah been sick even unto death, and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and He speaketh to him, and a wonder hath appointed for him;

ylt@2Chronicles:32:25 @and Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed [done] unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem;

ylt@2Chronicles:32:26 @and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of Jehovah hath not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:27 @And Hezekiah hath riches and honour very much, and treasures he hath made to himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:28 @and storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for stalls;

ylt@2Chronicles:32:29 @and cities he hath made for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God hath given to him very much substance.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:30 @And Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work;

ylt@2Chronicles:32:31 @and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending unto him to inquire of the wonder that hath been in the land, God hath left him to try him, to know all in his heart,

ylt@2Chronicles:32:32 @And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and his kind acts, lo, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:32:33 @And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the uppermost of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honour to him at his death, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:1 @A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

ylt@2Chronicles:33:2 @and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

ylt@2Chronicles:33:3 @and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:4 @And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, 'In Jerusalem is My name to the age.'

ylt@2Chronicles:33:5 @And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:6 @And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:7 @And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, 'In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,

ylt@2Chronicles:33:8 @and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them -- to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'

ylt@2Chronicles:33:9 @And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:10 @And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,

ylt@2Chronicles:33:11 @and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:12 @And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,

ylt@2Chronicles:33:13 @and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah -- He [is] God.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:14 @And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:17 @but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only -- to Jehovah their God.

ylt@2Chronicles:33:18 @And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters of the kings of Israel;

ylt@2Chronicles:33:23 @and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.
