  2 H4428 And the king H5927 went up [H8799]   H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD H376 , and all the men H3063 of Judah H3427 and all the inhabitants [H8802]   H3389 of Jerusalem H3548 with him, and the priests H5030 , and the prophets H5971 , and all the people H6996 , both small H1419 and great H7121 : and he read [H8799]   H241 in their ears H1697 all the words H5612 of the book H1285 of the covenant H4672 which was found [H8737]   H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD.
  3 H4428 And the king H5975 stood [H8799]   H5982 by a pillar H3772 , and made [H8799]   H1285 a covenant H6440 before H3068 the LORD H3212 , to walk [H8800]   H310 after H3068 the LORD H8104 , and to keep [H8800]   H4687 his commandments H5715 and his testimonies H2708 and his statutes H3820 with all their heart H5315 and all their soul H6965 , to perform [H8687]   H1697 the words H1285 of this covenant H3789 that were written [H8803]   H5612 in this book H5971 . And all the people H5975 stood [H8799]   H1285 to the covenant.
  4 H4428 And the king H6680 commanded [H8762]   H2518 Hilkiah H1419 the high H3548 priest H3548 , and the priests H4932 of the second order H8104 , and the keepers [H8802]   H5592 of the door H3318 , to bring forth [H8687]   H1964 out of the temple H3068 of the LORD H3627 all the vessels H6213 that were made [H8803]   H1168 for Baal H842 , and for the grove H6635 , and for all the host H8064 of heaven H8313 : and he burned [H8799]   H2351 them without H3389 Jerusalem H7709 in the fields H6939 of Kidron H5375 , and carried [H8804]   H6083 the ashes H1008 of them unto Bethel.
  5 H7673 And he put down [H8689]   H3649 the idolatrous priests H4428 , whom the kings H3063 of Judah H5414 had ordained [H8804]   H6999 to burn incense [H8762]   H1116 in the high places H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah H4524 , and in the places round about H3389 Jerusalem H6999 ; them also that burned incense [H8764]   H1168 unto Baal H8121 , to the sun H3394 , and to the moon H4208 , and to the planets H6635 , and to all the host H8064 of heaven.
  6 H3318 And he brought out [H8686]   H842 the grove H1004 from the house H3068 of the LORD H2351 , without H3389 Jerusalem H5158 , unto the brook H6939 Kidron H8313 , and burned [H8799]   H5158 it at the brook H6939 Kidron H1854 , and stamped it small [H8686]   H6083 to powder H7993 , and cast [H8686]   H6083 the powder H6913 thereof upon the graves H1121 of the children H5971 of the people.
  7 H5422 And he brake down [H8799]   H1004 the houses H6945 of the sodomites H1004 , that were by the house H3068 of the LORD H802 , where the women H707 wove [H8802]   H1004 hangings H842 for the grove.
  8 H935 And he brought [H8686]   H3548 all the priests H5892 out of the cities H3063 of Judah H2930 , and defiled [H8762]   H1116 the high places H3548 where the priests H6999 had burned incense [H8765]   H1387 , from Geba H884 to Beersheba H5422 , and brake down [H8804]   H1116 the high places H8179 of the gates H6607 that were in the entering in H8179 of the gate H3091 of Joshua H8269 the governor H5892 of the city H376 , which were on a man's H8040 left hand H8179 at the gate H5892 of the city.
  9 H3548 Nevertheless the priests H1116 of the high places H5927 came not up [H8799]   H4196 to the altar H3068 of the LORD H3389 in Jerusalem H398 , but they did eat [H8804]   H4682 of the unleavened bread H8432 among H251 their brethren.
  10 H2930 And he defiled [H8765]   H8612 Topheth H1516 , which is in the valley H1121 of the children [H8675]   H1121   H2011 of Hinnom H376 , that no man H1121 might make his son H1323 or his daughter H5674 to pass through [H8687]   H784 the fire H4432 to Molech.
  11 H7673 And he took away [H8686]   H5483 the horses H4428 that the kings H3063 of Judah H5414 had given [H8804]   H8121 to the sun H935 , at the entering in [H8800]   H1004 of the house H3068 of the LORD H3957 , by the chamber H5419 of Nathanmelech H5631 the chamberlain H6503 , which was in the suburbs H8313 , and burned [H8804]   H4818 the chariots H8121 of the sun H784 with fire.
  12 H4196 And the altars H1406 that were on the top H5944 of the upper chamber H271 of Ahaz H4428 , which the kings H3063 of Judah H6213 had made [H8804]   H4196 , and the altars H4519 which Manasseh H6213 had made [H8804]   H8147 in the two H2691 courts H1004 of the house H3068 of the LORD H4428 , did the king H5422 beat down [H8804]   H7323 , and brake them down [H8799]   H7993 from thence, and cast [H8689]   H6083 the dust H5158 of them into the brook H6939 Kidron.
  13 H1116 And the high places H6440 that were before H3389 Jerusalem H3225 , which were on the right hand H2022 of the mount H4889 of corruption H8010 , which Solomon H4428 the king H3478 of Israel H1129 had builded [H8804]   H6253 for Ashtoreth H8251 the abomination H6722 of the Zidonians H3645 , and for Chemosh H8251 the abomination H4124 of the Moabites H4445 , and for Milcom H8441 the abomination H1121 of the children H5983 of Ammon H4428 , did the king H2930 defile [H8765]  .
  14 H7665 And he brake in pieces [H8765]   H4676 the images H3772 , and cut down [H8799]   H842 the groves H4390 , and filled [H8762]   H4725 their places H6106 with the bones H120 of men.
  15 H4196 Moreover the altar H1008 that was at Bethel H1116 , and the high place H3379 which Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H3478 , who made Israel H2398 to sin [H8689]   H6213 , had made [H8804]   H4196 , both that altar H1116 and the high place H5422 he brake down [H8804]   H8313 , and burned [H8799]   H1116 the high place H1854 , and stamped [H8689]   H6083 it small to powder H8313 , and burned [H8804]   H842 the grove.
  16 H2977 And as Josiah H6437 turned [H8799]   H7200 himself, he spied [H8799]   H6913 the sepulchres H2022 that were there in the mount H7971 , and sent [H8799]   H3947 , and took [H8799]   H6106 the bones H6913 out of the sepulchres H8313 , and burned [H8799]   H4196 them upon the altar H2930 , and polluted [H8762]   H1697 it, according to the word H3068 of the LORD H376 which the man H430 of God H7121 proclaimed [H8804]   H7121 , who proclaimed [H8804]   H1697 these words.
  17 H559 Then he said [H8799]   H6725 , What title H1975 is that H7200 that I see [H8802]   H582 ? And the men H5892 of the city H559 told [H8799]   H6913 him, It is the sepulchre H376 of the man H430 of God H935 , which came [H8804]   H3063 from Judah H7121 , and proclaimed [H8799]   H1697 these things H6213 that thou hast done [H8804]   H4196 against the altar H1008 of Bethel.
  18 H559 And he said [H8799]   H3240 , Let him alone [H8685]   H376 ; let no man H5128 move [H8686]   H6106 his bones H6106 . So they let his bones H4422 alone [H8762]   H6106 , with the bones H5030 of the prophet H935 that came out [H8804]   H8111 of Samaria.
  19 H1004 And all the houses H1116 also of the high places H5892 that were in the cities H8111 of Samaria H4428 , which the kings H3478 of Israel H6213 had made [H8804]   H3707 to provoke the LORD to anger [H8687]   H2977 , Josiah H5493 took away [H8689]   H6213 , and did [H8799]   H4639 to them according to all the acts H6213 that he had done [H8804]   H1008 in Bethel.
  20 H2076 And he slew [H8799]   H3548 all the priests H1116 of the high places H4196 that were there upon the altars H8313 , and burned [H8799]   H120 men's H6106 bones H7725 upon them, and returned [H8799]   H3389 to Jerusalem.
  21 H4428 And the king H6680 commanded [H8762]   H5971 all the people H559 , saying [H8800]   H6213 , Keep [H8798]   H6453 the passover H3068 unto the LORD H430 your God H3789 , as it is written [H8803]   H5612 in the book H1285 of this covenant.
  22 H6213 Surely there was not holden [H8738]   H6453 such a passover H3117 from the days H8199 of the judges [H8802]   H8199 that judged [H8804]   H3478 Israel H3117 , nor in all the days H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel H4428 , nor of the kings H3063 of Judah;
  23 H8083 But in the eighteenth H6240   H8141 year H4428 of king H2977 Josiah H6453 , wherein this passover H6213 was holden [H8738]   H3068 to the LORD H3389 in Jerusalem.
  24 H178 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits H3049 , and the wizards H8655 , and the images H1544 , and the idols H8251 , and all the abominations H7200 that were spied [H8738]   H776 in the land H3063 of Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem H2977 , did Josiah H1197 put away [H8765]   H6965 , that he might perform [H8687]   H1697 the words H8451 of the law H3789 which were written [H8803]   H5612 in the book H2518 that Hilkiah H3548 the priest H4672 found [H8804]   H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD.
  25 H4428 And like unto him was there no king H6440 before H7725 him, that turned [H8804]   H3068 to the LORD H3824 with all his heart H5315 , and with all his soul H3966 , and with all his might H8451 , according to all the law H4872 of Moses H310 ; neither after H6965 him arose [H8804]   there any like him.
  26 H3068 Notwithstanding the LORD H7725 turned [H8804]   H2740 not from the fierceness H1419 of his great H639 wrath H639 , wherewith his anger H2734 was kindled [H8804]   H3063 against Judah H3708 , because of all the provocations H4519 that Manasseh H3707 had provoked [H8689]   him withal.
  27 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H5493 , I will remove [H8686]   H3063 Judah H6440 also out of my sight H5493 , as I have removed [H8689]   H3478 Israel H3988 , and will cast off [H8804]   H5892 this city H3389 Jerusalem H977 which I have chosen [H8804]   H1004 , and the house H559 of which I said [H8804]   H8034 , My name shall be there.
  28 H3499 Now the rest H1697 of the acts H2977 of Josiah H6213 , and all that he did [H8804]   H3789 , are they not written [H8803]   H5612 in the book H1697 of the chronicles H3117   H4428 of the kings H3063 of Judah?
  29 H3117 In his days H6549 Pharaohnechoh H4428 king H4714 of Egypt H5927 went up [H8804]   H4428 against the king H804 of Assyria H5104 to the river H6578 Euphrates H4428 : and king H2977 Josiah H3212 went [H8799]   H7125 against [H8800]   H4191 him; and he slew [H8686]   H4023 him at Megiddo H7200 , when he had seen [H8800]   him.
  30 H5650 And his servants H7392 carried him in a chariot [H8686]   H4191 dead [H8801]   H4023 from Megiddo H935 , and brought [H8686]   H3389 him to Jerusalem H6912 , and buried [H8799]   H6900 him in his own sepulchre H5971 . And the people H776 of the land H3947 took [H8799]   H3059 Jehoahaz H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4886 , and anointed [H8799]   H4427 him, and made him king [H8686]   H1 in his father's stead.
  31 H3059 Jehoahaz H6242 was twenty H7969 and three H8141 years H1121 old H4427 when he began to reign [H8800]   H4427 ; and he reigned [H8804]   H7969 three H2320 months H3389 in Jerusalem H517 . And his mother's H8034 name H2537 was Hamutal H1323 , the daughter H3414 of Jeremiah H3841 of Libnah.
  32 H6213 And he did [H8799]   H7451 that which was evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H1 , according to all that his fathers H6213 had done [H8804]  .
  33 H6549 And Pharaohnechoh H631 put him in bands [H8799]   H7247 at Riblah H776 in the land H2574 of Hamath H4427 , that he might not reign [H8800]   H3389 in Jerusalem H5414 ; and put [H8799]   H776 the land H6066 to a tribute H3967 of an hundred H3603 talents H3701 of silver H3603 , and a talent H2091 of gold.
  34 H6549 And Pharaohnechoh H471 made Eliakim H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4427 king [H8686]   H2977 in the room of Josiah H1 his father H5437 , and turned [H8686]   H8034 his name H3079 to Jehoiakim H3947 , and took H3059 Jehoahaz H3947 away [H8804]   H935 : and he came [H8799]   H4714 to Egypt H4191 , and died [H8799]   there.
  35 H3079 And Jehoiakim H5414 gave [H8804]   H3701 the silver H2091 and the gold H6547 to Pharaoh H6186 ; but he taxed [H8689]   H776 the land H5414 to give [H8800]   H3701 the money H6310 according to the commandment H6547 of Pharaoh H5065 : he exacted [H8804]   H3701 the silver H2091 and the gold H5971 of the people H776 of the land H376 , of every one H6187 according to his taxation H5414 , to give [H8800]   H6549 it unto Pharaohnechoh.
  36 H3079 Jehoiakim H6242 was twenty H2568 and five H8141 years H1121 old H4427 when he began to reign [H8800]   H4427 ; and he reigned [H8804]   H259 eleven H6240   H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem H517 . And his mother's H8034 name H2080 was Zebudah H1323 , the daughter H6305 of Pedaiah H7316 of Rumah.
  37 H6213 And he did [H8799]   H7451 that which was evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H1 , according to all that his fathers H6213 had done [H8804]  .
