1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

2 The king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Yahweh.

3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.

4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the temple of Yahweh all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the sky, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel.

5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the sky.

6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of Yahweh, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast the dust of it on the graves of the common people.

7 He broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Yahweh, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.

8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn't come up to the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.

10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

12 The altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, and beat them down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 The high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.

16 As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 Then he said, What monument is that which I see? The men of the city told him, It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.

18 He said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.

20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

21 The king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.

22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to Yahweh in Jerusalem.

24 Moreover those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Yahweh.

25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

26 Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn't turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.

27 Yahweh said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.

31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

32 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done.

33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.

36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

37 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done.

1 And the king ^H4428 sent, ^H7971 and they gathered ^H622 unto ^H413 him all ^H3605 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 ^H3605 the men ^H376 of Judah ^H3063 and all ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 with ^H854 him , and the priests, ^H3548 and the prophets, ^H5030 and all ^H3605 the people, ^H5971 both small ^H4480 ^H6996 and great: ^H1419 and he read ^H7121 in their ears ^H241 ^H853 all ^H3605 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 ^H5921 a pillar, ^H5982 and made ^H3772 ^H853 a covenant ^H1285 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 to walk ^H1980 after ^H310 the LORD, ^H3068 and to keep ^H8104 his commandments ^H4687 and his testimonies ^H5715 and his statutes ^H2708 with all ^H3605 their heart ^H3820 and all ^H3605 their soul, ^H5315 to perform ^H6965 ^H853 the words ^H1697 of this ^H2063 covenant ^H1285 that were written ^H3789 in ^H5921 this ^H2088 book. ^H5612 And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 stood ^H5975 to the covenant. ^H1285

4 And the king ^H4428 commanded ^H6680 ^H853 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 ^H4480 ^H1964 of the LORD ^H3068 ^H853 all ^H3605 the vessels ^H3627 that were made ^H6213 for Baal, ^H1168 and for the grove, ^H842 and for all ^H3605 the host ^H6635 of heaven: ^H8064 and he burned ^H8313 them without ^H4480 ^H2351 Jerusalem ^H3389 in the fields ^H7709 of Kidron, ^H6939 and carried ^H5375 ^H853 the ashes ^H6083 of them unto Bethel. ^H1008

5 And he put down ^H7673 ^H853 the idolatrous priests, ^H3649 whom ^H834 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 ^H3605 the host ^H6635 of heaven. ^H8064

6 And he brought out ^H3318 ^H853 the grove ^H842 from the house ^H4480 ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 without ^H4480 ^H2351 Jerusalem, ^H3389 unto ^H413 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 ^H853 the powder ^H6083 thereof upon ^H5921 the graves ^H6913 of the children ^H1121 of the people. ^H5971

7 And he broke down ^H5422 ^H853 the houses ^H1004 of the sodomites, ^H6945 that ^H834 were by the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 where ^H834 ^H8033 the women ^H802 wove ^H707 hangings ^H1004 for the grove. ^H842

8 And he brought ^H935 ^H853 all ^H3605 the priests ^H3548 out of the cities ^H4480 ^H5892 of Judah, ^H3063 and defiled ^H2930 ^H853 the high places ^H1116 where ^H834 ^H8033 the priests ^H3548 had burned incense, ^H6999 from Geba ^H4480 ^H1387 to ^H5704 Beer- ^H884 sheba , and broke down ^H5422 ^H853 the high places ^H1116 of the gates ^H8179 that ^H834 were in the entering in ^H6607 of the gate ^H8179 of Joshua ^H3091 the governor ^H8269 of the city, ^H5892 which ^H834 were on ^H5921 a man's ^H376 left hand ^H8040 at the gate ^H8179 of the city. ^H5892

9 Nevertheless ^H389 the priests ^H3548 of the high places ^H1116 came not up ^H5927 ^H3808 to ^H413 the altar ^H4196 of the LORD ^H3068 in Jerusalem, ^H3389 but ^H3588 ^H518 they did eat ^H398 of the unleavened bread ^H4682 among ^H8432 their brethren. ^H251

10 And he defiled ^H2930 ^H853 Topheth, ^H8612 which ^H834 is in the valley ^H1516 of the children ^H1121 of Hinnom, ^H2011 that no ^H1115 man ^H376 might make ^H853 his son ^H1121 or his daughter ^H1323 to pass through ^H5674 the fire ^H784 to Molech. ^H4432

11 And he took away ^H7673 ^H853 the horses ^H5483 that ^H834 the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 had given ^H5414 to the sun, ^H8121 at the entering in ^H4480 ^H935 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 by ^H413 the chamber ^H3957 of Nathan- ^H5419 melech the chamberlain, ^H5631 which ^H834 was in the suburbs, ^H6503 and burned ^H8313 the chariots ^H4818 of the sun ^H8121 with fire. ^H784

12 And the altars ^H4196 that ^H834 were on ^H5921 the top ^H1406 of the upper chamber ^H5944 of Ahaz, ^H271 which ^H834 the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 had made, ^H6213 and the altars ^H4196 which ^H834 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 broke them down ^H7323 from thence ^H4480 ^H8033 , and cast ^H7993 ^H853 the dust ^H6083 of them into ^H413 the brook ^H5158 Kidron. ^H6939

13 And the high places ^H1116 that ^H834 were before ^H5921 ^H6440 Jerusalem, ^H3389 which ^H834 were on the right hand ^H4480 ^H3225 of the mount ^H2022 of corruption, ^H4889 which ^H834 Solomon ^H8010 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 had built ^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 broke in pieces ^H7665 ^H853 the images, ^H4676 and cut down ^H3772 ^H853 the groves, ^H842 and filled ^H4390 ^H853 their places ^H4725 with the bones ^H6106 of men. ^H120

15 Moreover ^H1571 ^H853 the altar ^H4196 that ^H834 was at Bethel, ^H1008 and the high place ^H1116 which ^H834 Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat, ^H5028 who ^H834 made ^H853 Israel ^H3478 to sin, ^H2398 had made, ^H6213 both ^H1571 ^H853 that ^H1931 altar ^H4196 and the high place ^H1116 he broke down, ^H5422 and burned ^H8313 ^H853 the high place, ^H1116 and stamped it small ^H1854 to powder, ^H6083 and burned ^H8313 the grove. ^H842

16 And as Josiah ^H2977 turned ^H6437 himself , he spied ^H7200 ^H853 the sepulchers ^H6913 that ^H834 were there ^H8033 in the mount, ^H2022 and sent, ^H7971 and took ^H3947 ^H853 the bones ^H6106 out of ^H4480 the sepulchers, ^H6913 and burned ^H8313 them upon ^H5921 the altar, ^H4196 and polluted ^H2930 it , according to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 which ^H834 the man ^H376 of God ^H430 proclaimed, ^H7121 who ^H834 proclaimed ^H7121 ^H853 these ^H428 words. ^H1697

17 Then he said, ^H559 What ^H4100 title ^H6725 is that ^H1975 that ^H834 I ^H589 see ^H7200 ? And the men ^H376 of the city ^H5892 told ^H559 ^H413 him, It is the sepulcher ^H6913 of the man ^H376 of God, ^H430 which ^H834 came ^H935 from Judah ^H4480 ^H3063 , and proclaimed ^H7121 ^H853 these ^H428 things ^H1697 that ^H834 thou hast done ^H6213 against ^H5921 the altar ^H4196 of Bethel. ^H1008

18 And he said, ^H559 Let him alone; ^H5117 let no ^H408 man ^H376 move ^H5128 his bones. ^H6106 So they let his bones alone ^H4422 ^H6106 , with ^H854 the bones ^H6106 of the prophet ^H5030 that ^H834 came ^H935 out of Samaria ^H4480 ^H8111 .

19 And ^H853 all ^H3605 the houses ^H1004 also ^H1571 of the high places ^H1116 that ^H834 were in the cities ^H5892 of Samaria, ^H8111 which ^H834 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 ^H3605 the acts ^H4639 that ^H834 he had done ^H6213 in Bethel. ^H1008

20 And he slew ^H2076 ^H853 all ^H3605 the priests ^H3548 of the high places ^H1116 that ^H834 were there ^H8033 upon ^H5921 the altars, ^H4196 and burned ^H8313 ^H853 men's ^H120 bones ^H6106 upon ^H5921 them , and returned ^H7725 to Jerusalem. ^H3389

21 And the king ^H4428 commanded ^H6680 ^H853 all ^H3605 the people, ^H5971 saying, ^H559 Keep ^H6213 the passover ^H6453 unto the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 as it is written ^H3789 in ^H5921 the book ^H5612 of this ^H2088 covenant. ^H1285

22 Surely ^H3588 there was not ^H3808 holden ^H6213 such ^H2088 a passover ^H6453 from the days ^H4480 ^H3117 of the judges ^H8199 that ^H834 judged ^H8199 ^H853 Israel, ^H3478 nor in all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of the kings ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 nor of the kings ^H4428 of Judah; ^H3063

23 But ^H3588 ^H518 in the eighteenth ^H8083 ^H6240 year ^H8141 of king ^H4428 Josiah, ^H2977 wherein this ^H2088 passover ^H6453 was holden ^H6213 to the LORD ^H3068 in Jerusalem. ^H3389

24 Moreover ^H1571 ^H853 the workers with familiar spirits, ^H178 and the wizards, ^H3049 and the images, ^H8655 and the idols, ^H1544 and all ^H3605 the abominations ^H8251 that ^H834 were spied ^H7200 in the land ^H776 of Judah ^H3063 and in Jerusalem, ^H3389 did Josiah ^H2977 put away, ^H1197 that ^H4616 he might perform ^H6965 ^H853 the words ^H1697 of the law ^H8451 which were written ^H3789 in ^H5921 the book ^H5612 that ^H834 Hilkiah ^H2518 the priest ^H3548 found ^H4672 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

25 And like unto him ^H3644 was ^H1961 there no ^H3808 king ^H4428 before ^H6440 him, that ^H834 turned ^H7725 to ^H413 the LORD ^H3068 with all ^H3605 his heart, ^H3824 and with all ^H3605 his soul, ^H5315 and with all ^H3605 his might, ^H3966 according to all ^H3605 the law ^H8451 of Moses; ^H4872 neither ^H3808 after ^H310 him arose ^H6965 there any like him. ^H3644

26 Notwithstanding ^H389 the LORD ^H3068 turned ^H7725 not ^H3808 from the fierceness ^H4480 ^H2740 of his great ^H1419 wrath, ^H639 wherewith ^H834 his anger ^H639 was kindled ^H2734 against Judah, ^H3063 because ^H5921 of all ^H3605 the provocations ^H3708 that ^H834 Manasseh ^H4519 had provoked ^H3707 him withal.

27 And the LORD ^H3068 said, ^H559 I will remove ^H5493 ^H853 Judah ^H3063 also ^H1571 out of ^H4480 ^H5921 my sight, ^H6440 as ^H834 I have removed ^H5493 ^H853 Israel, ^H3478 and will cast off ^H3988 ^H853 this ^H2063 city ^H5892 ^H853 Jerusalem ^H3389 which ^H834 I have chosen, ^H977 and the house ^H1004 of which ^H834 I said, ^H559 My name ^H8034 shall be ^H1961 there. ^H8033

28 Now the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Josiah, ^H2977 and all ^H3605 that ^H834 he did, ^H6213 are they ^H1992 not ^H3808 written ^H3789 in ^H5921 the book ^H5612 of the chronicles ^H1697 ^H3117 of the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 ?

29 In his days ^H3117 Pharaoh Necho ^H6549 king ^H4428 of Egypt ^H4714 went up ^H5927 against ^H5921 the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 to ^H5921 the river ^H5104 Euphrates: ^H6578 and king ^H4428 Josiah ^H2977 went ^H1980 against ^H7122 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 ^H4480 ^H4023 , and brought ^H935 him to Jerusalem, ^H3389 and buried ^H6912 him in his own sepulcher. ^H6900 And the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 took ^H3947 ^H853 Jehoahaz ^H3059 the son ^H1121 of Josiah, ^H2977 and anointed ^H4886 him , and made him king ^H4427 ^H853 in his father's stead ^H8478 ^H1 .

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 ^H517 name ^H8034 was Hamutal, ^H2537 the daughter ^H1323 of Jeremiah ^H3414 of Libnah ^H4480 ^H3841 .

32 And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 according to all ^H3605 that ^H834 his fathers ^H1 had done. ^H6213

33 And Pharaoh Necho ^H6549 put him in bands ^H631 at Riblah ^H7247 in the land ^H776 of Hamath, ^H2574 that he might not reign ^H4480 ^H4427 in Jerusalem; ^H3389 and put ^H5414 ^H5921 the land ^H776 to a tribute ^H6066 of a hundred ^H3967 talents ^H3603 of silver, ^H3701 and a talent ^H3603 of gold. ^H2091

34 And Pharaoh Necho ^H6549 made ^H4427 ^H853 Eliakim ^H471 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977 king ^H4427 in the room ^H8478 of Josiah ^H2977 his father, ^H1 and turned ^H5437 ^H853 his name ^H8034 to Jehoiakim, ^H3079 and took ^H3947 Jehoahaz ^H3059 away : and he came ^H935 to Egypt, ^H4714 and died ^H4191 there. ^H8033
