1

And the king <H4428> sent, <H7971> and they gathered <H0622> unto him all the elders <H2205> of Judah <H3063> and of Jerusalem. <H3389>

2

And the king <H4428> went up <H5927> into the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and all the men <H0376> of Judah <H3063> and all the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> with him, and the priests, <H3548> and the prophets, <H5030> and all the people, <H5971> both small <H6996> and great: <H1419> and he read <H7121> in their ears <H0241> all the words <H1697> of the book <H5612> of the covenant <H1285> which was found <H4672> in the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>

3

And the king <H4428> stood <H5975> by a pillar, <H5982> and made <H3772> a covenant <H1285> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> to walk <H3212> after <H0310> the LORD, <H3068> and to keep <H8104> his commandments <H4687> and his testimonies <H5715> and his statutes <H2708> with all [their] heart <H3820> and all [their] soul, <H5315> to perform <H6965> the words <H1697> of this covenant <H1285> that were written <H3789> in this book. <H5612> And all the people <H5971> stood <H5975> to the covenant. <H1285>

4

And the king <H4428> commanded <H6680> Hilkiah <H2518> the high <H1419> priest, <H3548> and the priests <H3548> of the second order, <H4932> and the keepers <H8104> of the door, <H5592> to bring forth <H3318> out of the temple <H1964> of the LORD <H3068> all the vessels <H3627> that were made <H6213> for Baal, <H1168> and for the grove, <H0842> and for all the host <H6635> of heaven: <H8064> and he burned <H8313> them without <H2351> Jerusalem <H3389> in the fields <H7709> of Kidron, <H6939> and carried <H5375> the ashes <H6083> of them unto Bethel. <H1008>

5

And he put down <H7673> the idolatrous priests, <H3649> whom the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> had ordained <H5414> to burn incense <H6999> in the high places <H1116> in the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> and in the places round about <H4524> Jerusalem; <H3389> them also that burned incense <H6999> unto Baal, <H1168> to the sun, <H8121> and to the moon, <H3394> and to the planets, <H4208> and to all the host <H6635> of heaven. <H8064>

6

And he brought out <H3318> the grove <H0842> from the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> without <H2351> Jerusalem, <H3389> unto the brook <H5158> Kidron, <H6939> and burned <H8313> it at the brook <H5158> Kidron, <H6939> and stamped [it] small <H1854> to powder, <H6083> and cast <H7993> the powder <H6083> thereof upon the graves <H6913> of the children <H1121> of the people. <H5971>

7

And he brake down <H5422> the houses <H1004> of the sodomites, <H6945> that [were] by the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> where the women <H0802> wove <H0707> hangings <H1004> for the grove. <H0842>

8

And he brought <H0935> all the priests <H3548> out of the cities <H5892> of Judah, <H3063> and defiled <H2930> the high places <H1116> where the priests <H3548> had burned incense, <H6999> from Geba <H1387> to Beersheba, <H0884> and brake down <H5422> the high places <H1116> of the gates <H8179> that [were] in the entering in <H6607> of the gate <H8179> of Joshua <H3091> the governor <H8269> of the city, <H5892> which [were] on a man's <H0376> left hand <H8040> at the gate <H8179> of the city. <H5892>

9

Nevertheless the priests <H3548> of the high places <H1116> came not up <H5927> to the altar <H4196> of the LORD <H3068> in Jerusalem, <H3389> but they did eat <H0398> of the unleavened bread <H4682> among <H8432> their brethren. <H0251>

10

And he defiled <H2930> Topheth, <H8612> which [is] in the valley <H1516> of the children <H1121> <H1121> of Hinnom, <H2011> that no man <H0376> might make his son <H1121> or his daughter <H1323> to pass <H5674> through the fire <H0784> to Molech. <H4432>

11

And he took away <H7673> the horses <H5483> that the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> had given <H5414> to the sun, <H8121> at the entering in <H0935> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> by the chamber <H3957> of Nathanmelech <H5419> the chamberlain, <H5631> which [was] in the suburbs, <H6503> and burned <H8313> the chariots <H4818> of the sun <H8121> with fire. <H0784>

12

And the altars <H4196> that [were] on the top <H1406> of the upper chamber <H5944> of Ahaz, <H0271> which the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> had made, <H6213> and the altars <H4196> which Manasseh <H4519> had made <H6213> in the two <H8147> courts <H2691> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> did the king <H4428> beat down, <H5422> and brake [them] down <H7323> from thence, and cast <H7993> the dust <H6083> of them into the brook <H5158> Kidron. <H6939>

13

And the high places <H1116> that [were] before <H6440> Jerusalem, <H3389> which [were] on the right hand <H3225> of the mount <H2022> of corruption, <H4889> which Solomon <H8010> the king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> had builded <H1129> for Ashtoreth <H6253> the abomination <H8251> of the Zidonians, <H6722> and for Chemosh <H3645> the abomination <H8251> of the Moabites, <H4124> and for Milcom <H4445> the abomination <H8441> of the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> did the king <H4428> defile. <H2930>

14

And he brake <H7665> in pieces the images, <H4676> and cut down <H3772> the groves, <H0842> and filled <H4390> their places <H4725> with the bones <H6106> of men. <H0120>

15

Moreover the altar <H4196> that [was] at Bethel, <H1008> [and] the high place <H1116> which Jeroboam <H3379> the son <H1121> of Nebat, <H5028> who made Israel <H3478> to sin, <H2398> had made, <H6213> both that altar <H4196> and the high place <H1116> he brake down, <H5422> and burned <H8313> the high place, <H1116> [and] stamped [it] small <H1854> to powder, <H6083> and burned <H8313> the grove. <H0842>

16

And as Josiah <H2977> turned <H6437> himself, he spied <H7200> the sepulchres <H6913> that [were] there in the mount, <H2022> and sent, <H7971> and took <H3947> the bones <H6106> out of the sepulchres, <H6913> and burned <H8313> [them] upon the altar, <H4196> and polluted <H2930> it, according to the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> which the man <H0376> of God <H0430> proclaimed, <H7121> who proclaimed <H7121> these words. <H1697>

17

Then he said, <H0559> What title <H6725> [is] that <H1975> that I see? <H7200> And the men <H0582> of the city <H5892> told <H0559> him, [It is] the sepulchre <H6913> of the man <H0376> of God, <H0430> which came <H0935> from Judah, <H3063> and proclaimed <H7121> these things <H1697> that thou hast done <H6213> against the altar <H4196> of Bethel. <H1008>

18

And he said, <H0559> Let him alone; <H3240> let no man <H0376> move <H5128> his bones. <H6106> So they let his bones <H6106> alone, <H4422> with the bones <H6106> of the prophet <H5030> that came <H0935> out of Samaria. <H8111>

19

And all the houses <H1004> also of the high places <H1116> that [were] in the cities <H5892> of Samaria, <H8111> which the kings <H4428> of Israel <H3478> had made <H6213> to provoke [the LORD] to anger, <H3707> Josiah <H2977> took away, <H5493> and did <H6213> to them according to all the acts <H4639> that he had done <H6213> in Bethel. <H1008>

20

And he slew <H2076> all the priests <H3548> of the high places <H1116> that [were] there upon the altars, <H4196> and burned <H8313> men's <H0120> bones <H6106> upon them, and returned <H7725> to Jerusalem. <H3389>

21

And the king <H4428> commanded <H6680> all the people, <H5971> saying, <H0559> Keep <H6213> the passover <H6453> unto the LORD <H3068> your God, <H0430> as [it is] written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of this covenant. <H1285>

22

Surely there was not holden <H6213> such a passover <H6453> from the days <H3117> of the judges <H8199> that judged <H8199> Israel, <H3478> nor in all the days <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Israel, <H3478> nor of the kings <H4428> of Judah; <H3063>

23

But in the eighteenth <H8083> <H6240> year <H8141> of king <H4428> Josiah, <H2977> [wherein] this passover <H6453> was holden <H6213> to the LORD <H3068> in Jerusalem. <H3389>

24

Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits, <H0178> and the wizards, <H3049> and the images, <H8655> and the idols, <H1544> and all the abominations <H8251> that were spied <H7200> in the land <H0776> of Judah <H3063> and in Jerusalem, <H3389> did Josiah <H2977> put away, <H1197> that he might perform <H6965> the words <H1697> of the law <H8451> which were written <H3789> in the book <H5612> that Hilkiah <H2518> the priest <H3548> found <H4672> in the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>

25

And like unto him was there no king <H4428> before <H6440> him, that turned <H7725> to the LORD <H3068> with all his heart, <H3824> and with all his soul, <H5315> and with all his might, <H3966> according to all the law <H8451> of Moses; <H4872> neither after <H0310> him arose <H6965> there [any] like him.

26

Notwithstanding the LORD <H3068> turned <H7725> not from the fierceness <H2740> of his great <H1419> wrath, <H0639> wherewith his anger <H0639> was kindled <H2734> against Judah, <H3063> because of all the provocations <H3708> that Manasseh <H4519> had provoked <H3707> him withal.

27

And the LORD <H3068> said, <H0559> I will remove <H5493> Judah <H3063> also out of my sight, <H6440> as I have removed <H5493> Israel, <H3478> and will cast off <H3988> this city <H5892> Jerusalem <H3389> which I have chosen, <H0977> and the house <H1004> of which I said, <H0559> My name <H8034> shall be there.

28

Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Josiah, <H2977> and all that he did, <H6213> [are] they not written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the chronicles <H1697> <H3117> of the kings <H4428> of Judah? <H3063>

29

In his days <H3117> Pharaohnechoh <H6549> king <H4428> of Egypt <H4714> went up <H5927> against the king <H4428> of Assyria <H0804> to the river <H5104> Euphrates: <H6578> and king <H4428> Josiah <H2977> went <H3212> against <H7125> him; and he slew <H4191> him at Megiddo, <H4023> when he had seen <H7200> him.

30

And his servants <H5650> carried <H7392> him in a chariot dead <H4191> from Megiddo, <H4023> and brought <H0935> him to Jerusalem, <H3389> and buried <H6912> him in his own sepulchre. <H6900> And the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> took <H3947> Jehoahaz <H3059> the son <H1121> of Josiah, <H2977> and anointed <H4886> him, and made him king <H4427> in his father's <H0001> stead.

31

Jehoahaz <H3059> [was] twenty <H6242> and three <H7969> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign; <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> three <H7969> months <H2320> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Hamutal, <H2537> the daughter <H1323> of Jeremiah <H3414> of Libnah. <H3841>

32

And he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> according to all that his fathers <H0001> had done. <H6213>

33

And Pharaohnechoh <H6549> put him in bands <H0631> at Riblah <H7247> in the land <H0776> of Hamath, <H2574> that he might not reign <H4427> in Jerusalem; <H3389> and put <H5414> the land <H0776> to a tribute <H6066> of an hundred <H3967> talents <H3603> of silver, <H3701> and a talent <H3603> of gold. <H2091>

34

And Pharaohnechoh <H6549> made Eliakim <H0471> the son <H1121> of Josiah <H2977> king <H4427> in the room of Josiah <H2977> his father, <H0001> and turned <H5437> his name <H8034> to Jehoiakim, <H3079> and took Jehoahaz <H3059> away: <H3947> and he came <H0935> to Egypt, <H4714> and died <H4191> there.

35

And Jehoiakim <H3079> gave <H5414> the silver <H3701> and the gold <H2091> to Pharaoh; <H6547> but he taxed <H6186> the land <H0776> to give <H5414> the money <H3701> according to the commandment <H6310> of Pharaoh: <H6547> he exacted <H5065> the silver <H3701> and the gold <H2091> of the people <H5971> of the land, <H0776> of every one <H0376> according to his taxation, <H6187> to give <H5414> [it] unto Pharaohnechoh. <H6549>

36

Jehoiakim <H3079> [was] twenty <H6242> and five <H2568> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign; <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> eleven <H0259> <H6240> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Zebudah, <H2080> the daughter <H1323> of Pedaiah <H6305> of Rumah. <H7316>

37

And he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> according to all that his fathers <H0001> had done. <H6213>
