³² In the second year of Phakee son of Romelias, king of Israel, Joatham son of Azarias, king of Juda, began to reign.

¹ In the seventeenth year of Phakee, son of Romelias, Achaz son of Joatham king of Juda, began to reign. ² Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, but he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God with fidelity like David his father. ³ He indeed walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made his son pass through fire according to the abominable acts of the nations which the Lord had removed from before the Israelites. ⁴ He sacrificed also and burned incense on the high places, and on the mounts and under every shady tree. ⁵ Then came up Raasson, king of Syria, and Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel, against Jerusalem for war, and besieged Achaz but could not bring him to battle. ⁶ At that time Raasson, king of Syria, recovered Ailath for Syria; and when he had driven the Jews out of Ailath the Idumeans went to Ailath, and have dwelt there to this day. ⁷ Then Achaz sent messengers to Thalgathphellasar, king of the Assyrians, saying, I am thy servant and thy son. Come up: Save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up against me. ⁸ And Achaz took the silver and the gold which was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and sent gifts to the king. ⁹ Whereupon the king of the Assyrians hearkened to him and came up against Damascus and took it, and having removed the inhabitants thereof he put king Raasson to death. ¹⁰ Then Achaz went up to Damascus to meet Thalgathphellasar king of the Assyrians, at that place. And having taken a view of the altar at Damascus, king Achaz sent a model of it with its proportions and workmanship to Ourias the priest. ¹¹ And Ourias the priest built an altar according to all that king Achaz sent from Damascus. ¹² And when the king saw the altar he went up to it ¹³ and offered thereon his whole burnt offering, and his sacrifice and his libation, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offering upon that altar. ¹⁴ As for the brasen altar which was before the Lord he brought it forward towards the front of the house of the Lord, from between this altar and the house of the Lord and put it upon the north side of this altar. ¹⁵ And king Achaz commanded Ourias the priest saying, Offer the morning and evening whole burnt offering with its sacrifice, and the whole burnt offering of the kin" with his sacrifice, and the whole burnt offering of the whole people with their sacrifice and their libation on this great altar, and pour out on it all the blood of the whole burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. And the brasen altar shall be for me for the morning. ¹⁶ So Ourias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him. ¹⁷ And king Achaz cut off the embossments of the mechonoths and took away from them the lavers, and took down the brasen sea from the oxen of brass that were under it, and set it on a base of stone. ¹⁸ He built also the foundation of the seat in the house of the Lord, and altered the way of the king's coming into the house of the Lord on account of the king of the Assyrians. ¹⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Achaz and all that he did, are they not written in the journal of the kings of Juda? ²⁰ And when Achaz slept with his fathers he was buried in the city of David, and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.

¹ Now in the third year of Osea son of Ela king of Israel, Ezekias son of Achaz king of Juda acted as king. ² He was twenty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty nine years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Abu, a daughter of Zacharias. ³ He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. ⁴ He removed the high places and broke in pieces the pillars and destroyed the bowers and the brasen serpent which Moses made. Because in those days the Israelites were burning incense to it, therefore he called it Neesthan. ⁵ He trusted in the Lord God of Israel, so that there was not after him one like him among the kings of Juda, nor among those who were before him. ⁶ For he cleaved to the Lord and departed not from following him, and kept all his commandments which he had given in charge to Moses. ⁷ And the Lord was with him and assisted him in all that he did. And he revolted from the king of Assyria and would not serve him. ⁸ He smote the Philistines even to Gaza and the border thereof, from the watch tower to the fenced city. ⁹ Now in the fourth year of Ezekias which was the seventh year of Osea son of Ela king of Israel, Salamanasser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it, ¹⁰ and took it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Ezekias, which was the ninth of Osea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. ¹¹ And the king of Assyria removed the Samaritans to Assyria, and placed them along the Alae and the Abor, a river of Gozan, and on the mountains of the Medes, ¹² because they had not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant; and, with regard to all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, had neither hearkened to them nor done them. ¹³ And in the fourteenth of king Ezekias, Sennacherim the king of the Assyrians came up against the fortified cities of Juda, and when he had taken some of them, ¹⁴ Ezekias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of Assyria at Lachis, saying, I have done wrong. Depart from me. Whatever thou imposest on me I will bear. Thereupon the king of Assyria imposed on Ezekias king of Juda, three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. ¹⁵ And Ezekias gave him all the silver which was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasury of the king's house. ¹⁶ At that time Ezekias cut up the doors of the temple, and the braces which he, Ezekias king of Juda, had overlaid with gold, and gave them to the king of Assyria. ¹⁷ Nevertheless the king of Assyria sent Tharthan and Raphis, and Rapsakes of Lachis, to king Ezekias with a great army against Jerusalem. And when they had marched up and arrived at Jerusalem they halted at the conduit of the upper pool, which is by the high way to the fuller's field, ¹⁸ and cried to Ezekias. And there went out to him Eliakim son of Chelkias, the steward, and Somnas the secretary, and Joas son of Saphat, the recorder. ¹⁹ And Rapsakes said to them, Say, I pray you, to Ezekias, Thus saith the king, the great king of the Assyrians, Of what avail is that confidence on which thou hast relied? ²⁰ Thou saidst; but they were vain words; I have counsel and strength for war. ²¹ Now therefore on whom dost thou rely that thou shouldst rebel against me? Perhaps thou leanest on that staff; that broken reed; on Egypt; on which if any one lean, it will enter his hand and pierce it. ²² Such is Pharao king of Egypt to all who trust in him. As to thy telling me, We have relied on the Lord God; Is not this he, whose high places and whose altars Ezekias hath pulled down, saying to Juda and Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? ²³ Though you were now in close connexion with my master the king of Assyria, and I were to give thee two thousand horses, couldst thou, I pray thee, mount for thyself riders on them? ²⁴ How then canst thou turn back the face of a petty governor; one of the lowest servants of my lord, relying on Egypt for chariots and horsemen? ²⁵ And now are we come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord hath said to me, Go up against that land and destroy it. ²⁶ Then Eliakim son of Chelkias, and Somnas and Joas, said to Kapsakes, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it. Therefore speak not to us in the Jewish language. Why shouldst thou speak to the ears of the people on the wall? ²⁷ Thereupon Rapsakes said to them, Did my master send me to thy master or to thee, to deliver this message? Was it not to those men who are set on that wall that they may eat their own ordure and drink their own urine? ²⁸ Then Rapsakes stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language and said, Hear the words of the great king of the Assyrians. ²⁹ Thus saith the king, Let not Ezekias deceive you; for he cannot deliver you out of his hand. ³⁰ Neither let Ezekias cause you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will deliver us; this city shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians. ³¹ Hearken not to Ezekias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians, Make peace with me and come out to me. And every one shall drink of his own vine, and every one shall eat of his own fig tree, and drink the water of his own cistern; ³² until. I come and take you to a land like your own; a land of corn and wine, and bread and vineyards; a land of olive oil and honey, that you may live and not die. Hearken not to Ezekias: for he deceiveth you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. ³³ Have the gods of the nations delivered their respective countries out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians? ³⁴ Where is the God of Aimath and Arphad? Where the god of Seppharuaim, Ana and Aba? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? ³⁵ Who is there among all the gods of these countries who have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of it? ³⁶ But they held their peace and answered him not a word, For this was the king's command, Make him no answer. ³⁷ Then came Eliakim son of Chelkias the steward, and Somnas the secretary, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder to Ezekias, with their clothes rent and told him the words of Rapsakes.

¹ And all the people of the country took Ozias when he was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amasias. ² He had rebuilt Ailath and restored it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers. ³ Ozias was sixteen years old when be began to reign, and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Jechelia, of Jerusalem. ⁴ And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amasias had done; ⁵ and he continued to seek the Lord all the days of Zacharias, who instructed him in the fear of the Lord. In his days indeed he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him. ⁶ And he went out and warred against the Philistines, and demolished the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and rebuilt the cities of Azotus, and among the Philistines. ⁷ And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabs, who dwelt in Petra, and against the Minaians. ⁸ So that the Minaians gave gifts to Ozias; for his fame reached even to the entrance of Egypt; for he was very powerful. ⁹ And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem; that over the gate of the corner, and that over the gate of the valley, and those on the corners. And when he had fortified it, ¹⁰ he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many wells, for he bad much cattle at Sephale, and in the plains, and vine dressers in the hilly country, and on Karmel, for he was fond of husbandry. ¹¹ Moreover Ozias had an army of fighting men, which went out in array for battle, and came in, in array, to be numbered. And they were numbered by Jeiel the scribe and Maasias the judge, under the direction of Ananias the king's lieutenant. ¹² The whole number of the chiefs, the officers of the army, was two thousand six hundred; ¹³ and the army of fighting men with them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred. These were trained for battle to assist the king against enemies. ¹⁴ And Ozias provided for them; for all this army, shields and spears, and helmets, and breast plates, and bows, and slings to cast stones. ¹⁵ And he made in Jerusalem machines, contrived with great art, to be placed in the towers and at the corners, for shooting darts and throwing huge stones. And the fame of his preparations was spread far and wide, for he was wonderfully assisted until he became exceeding strong. ¹⁶ But when he became strong his heart was elated to his destruction; for he trespassed against the Lord his God and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. ¹⁷ And Azarias the priest went in after him and with him eighty priests of the Lord, valiant men. ¹⁸ And they withstood king Ozias and said to him, it doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord; but only to the priests the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for thou hast revolted from the Lord, and this will not be for honour to thee from the Lord God. ¹⁹ At this Ozias was inflamed with wrath, and had in his hand the censer to burn incense in the temple. But when his anger kindled against the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense. ²⁰ And when Azarias the chief priest, with the other priests, turned towards him, behold he was leprous on the forehead, so they hurried him out thence. He indeed himself hasted to go out, because the Lord had convicted him. ²¹ So Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and as a leper, dwelt in the house of Apphusoth; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord, and Joatham, his son, was over the kingdom, administering justice to the people of the land. ²² Now the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, are written by Jessias the prophet. ²³ And when Ozias slept with his fathers, they buried him in the field of the burying place of the kings; for they said he is a leper. And Joatham his son, reigned in his stead.
