1 Ahaz H271 was twenty H6242 years H8141 NFS old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 , and he reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 W-RFS years H8141 NFS in Jerusalem H3389 : but he did H6213 VQQ3MS not H3808 W-NPAR that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , like David H1732 his father H1 :
2 For he walked H1980 W-VQY3MS in the ways H1870 of the kings H4428 CMP of Israel H3478 , and made H6213 VQQ3MS also H1571 W-CONJ molten images H4541 for Baalim H1168 .
3 Moreover he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS burnt incense H6999 in the valley H1516 of the son H1121 CMS of Hinnom H2011 , and burnt H1197 his children H1121 CMP-3MS in the fire H784 , after the abominations H8441 of the heathen H1471 D-NMP whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 had cast out H3423 before H6440 M-CMP the children H1121 CMS of Israel H3478 LMS .
4 He sacrificed H2076 also and burnt incense H6999 in the high places H1116 , and on H5921 W-PREP the hills H1389 , and under H8478 every H3605 NMS green H7488 tree H6086 NMS .
5 Wherefore the LORD H3068 EDS his God H430 CMP-3MS delivered H5414 him into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Syria H758 EMS ; and they smote H5221 W-VHY3MP him , and carried away H7617 a great H1419 AFS multitude of H4480 M-PREP-3MS them captives H7633 , and brought H935 them to Damascus H1834 . And he was also H1571 W-CONJ delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , who smote H5221 W-VHY3MS him with a great H1419 AFS slaughter H4347 .
6 For Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 slew H2026 in Judah H3063 a hundred H3967 MFS and twenty H6242 W-MMP thousand H505 W-BMS in one H259 MMS day H3117 B-NMS , which were all H3605 valiant men H1121 ; because they had forsaken H5800 the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 CMP-3MP .
7 And Zichri H2147 , a mighty man H1368 AMS of Ephraim H669 , slew H2026 Maaseiah H4641 the king H4428 D-NMS \'s son H1121 , and Azrikam H5840 the governor H5057 of the house H1004 , and Elkanah H511 that was next H4932 to the king H4428 .
8 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 carried away captive H7617 of their brethren H251 two hundred H3967 MFD thousand H505 W-BMS , women H802 GFP , sons H1121 NMP , and daughters H1323 W-CFP , and took also away H962 much H7227 AMS spoil H7998 from H4480 them , and brought H935 the spoil H7998 to Samaria H8111 .
9 But a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS was H1961 VQQ3MS there H8033 W-ADV , whose name H8034 CMS-3MS was Oded H5752 : and he went out H3318 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP the host H6635 that came H935 to Samaria H8111 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Behold H2009 IJEC , because the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 of your fathers H1 was wroth H2534 with H5921 PREP Judah H3063 , he hath delivered H5414 them into your hand H3027 B-CFS-2MP , and ye have slain H2026 them in a rage H2197 that reacheth up H5060 unto H5704 PREP heaven H8064 LD-NMP .
10 And now H6258 W-ADV ye H859 PPRO-2MS purpose H559 to keep under H3533 the children H1121 of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 for bondmen H5650 and bondwomen H8198 unto you : but are there not H3808 I-NADV with H5973 PREP-3MP you , even H7535 ADV with you H859 PPRO-2MS , sins H819 against the LORD H3068 L-EDS your God H430 ?
11 Now H6258 W-ADV hear H8085 me therefore , and deliver H7725 the captives H7633 again , which H834 RPRO ye have taken captive H7617 of your brethren H251 : for H3588 CONJ the fierce H2740 CMS wrath H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is upon H5921 PREP-2MP you .
12 Then certain H376 NMP of the heads H7218 of the children H1121 of Ephraim H669 , Azariah H5838 the son H1121 CMS of Johanan H3076 , Berechiah H1296 the son H1121 CMS of Meshillemoth H4919 , and Jehizkiah H3169 the son H1121 of Shallum H7967 , and Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Hadlai H2311 , stood up H6965 against H5921 PREP them that came H935 from H4480 PREP the war H6635 ,
13 And said H559 W-VQY3MP unto them , Ye shall not H3808 NADV bring in the captives H7633 hither H2008 ADV : for whereas H3588 CONJ we have offended against H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS already , ye H859 PPRO-2MS intend H559 to add H3254 more to H5921 PREP our sins H2403 and to H5921 PREP our trespass H819 : for H3588 CONJ our trespass H819 is great H7227 AFS , and there is fierce H2740 wrath H639 NMS against H5921 PREP Israel H3478 LMS .
14 So the armed men H2502 left H5800 the captives H7633 and the spoil H961 before H6440 L-CMP the princes H8269 and all H3605 W-CMS the congregation H6951 .
15 And the men H376 D-NMP which H834 RPRO were expressed H5344 by name H8034 rose up H6965 , and took H2388 the captives H7633 , and with H4480 PREP the spoil H7998 clothed H3847 all H3605 that were naked H4636 among them , and arrayed H3847 them , and shod H5274 them , and gave them to eat H398 and to drink H8248 , and anointed H5480 them , and carried H5095 all H3605 L-CMS the feeble H3782 VQPMS of them upon asses H2543 , and brought H935 them to Jericho H3405 , the city of palm trees H5899 , to H681 their brethren H251 : then they returned H7725 to Samaria H8111 .
16 At that H1931 time H6256 did king H4428 D-NMS Ahaz H271 send H7971 VQQ3MS unto H5921 PREP the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 GFS to help H5826 him .
17 For again H5750 W-ADV the Edomites H130 had come H935 VQQ3MP and smitten H5221 W-VHY3MP Judah H3063 , and carried away H7617 captives H7628 .
18 The Philistines H6430 also had invaded H6584 the cities H5892 B-CFP of the low country H8219 , and of the south H5045 of Judah H3063 , and had taken H3920 Beth H1053 - shemesh , and Ajalon H357 , and Gederoth H1450 , and Shocho H7755 with the villages H1323 CFP-3FS thereof , and Timnah H8553 with the villages H1323 CFP-3FS thereof , Gimzo H1579 also and the villages H1323 thereof : and they dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MP there H8033 ADV .
19 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS brought H3665 Judah H3063 low because of H5668 B-NMS Ahaz H271 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 ; for H3588 CONJ he made Judah naked H6544 , and transgressed H4603 sore H4604 against the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
20 And Tiglath H8407 - pileser king H4428 NMS of Assyria H804 GFS came H935 W-VQY3MS unto H5921 PREP-3MS him , and distressed H6696 him , but strengthened H2388 him not H3808 W-NPAR .
21 For H3588 CONJ Ahaz H271 took away a portion H2505 VQQ3MS out of the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and out of the house H1004 CMS of the king H4428 D-NMS , and of the princes H8269 , and gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS it unto the king H4428 L-CMS of Assyria H804 GFS : but he helped H5833 him not H3808 W-NPAR .
22 And in the time H6256 of his distress H6887 did he trespass H4603 yet more H3254 against the LORD H3068 : this H1931 PPRO-3MS is that king H4428 D-NMS Ahaz H271 .
23 For he sacrificed H2076 unto the gods H430 of Damascus H1834 , which smote H5221 him : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Because H3588 CONJ the gods H430 CDP of the kings H4428 of Syria H758 EMS help H5826 them , therefore will I sacrifice H2076 to them , that they may help H5826 me . But they H1992 PPRO-3MP were H1961 the ruin H3782 of him , and of all H3605 Israel H3478 LMS .
24 And Ahaz H271 gathered together H622 the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 CMS of God H430 D-NAME-4MS , and cut in pieces H7112 the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 CMS of God H430 D-NAME-4MP , and shut up H5462 W-VQY3MS the doors H1817 of the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and he made H6213 W-VQY3MS him altars H4196 in every H3605 B-CMS corner H6438 of Jerusalem H3389 .
25 And in every H3605 WB-CMS several city H5892 GFS of Judah H3063 he made H6213 VQQ3MS high places H1116 to burn incense H6999 unto other H312 AMP gods H430 L-NMP , and provoked to anger H3707 the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of his fathers H1 .
26 Now the rest H3499 of his acts H1697 CMP-3MS and of all H3605 W-CMS his ways H1870 CMP-3MS , first H7223 and last H314 , behold H2009 , they are written H3789 in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 .
27 And Ahaz H271 slept H7901 W-VQY3MS with H5973 PREP his fathers H1 , and they buried H6912 him in the city H5892 BD-NFS , even in Jerusalem H3389 : but H3588 CONJ they brought H935 him not H3808 NADV into the sepulchers H6913 of the kings H4428 CMP of Israel H3478 : and Hezekiah H3169 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
