1 And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.

3 And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.

4 And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.

5 And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem,) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.

6 And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.

7 And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that are in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.

8 And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that are at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that is on a man`s left hand at the gate of the city;

9 only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.

10 And he hath defiled Topheth, that is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.

11 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that is in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.

12 And the altars that are on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.

13 And the high places that are on the front of Jerusalem, that are on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.

14 And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;

15 and also the altar that is in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place -- he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.

16 And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that are there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth them on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

17 And he saith, `What is this sign that I see?` and the men of the city say unto him, `The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.`

18 And he saith, `Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;` and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

19 And also all the houses of the high places that are in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.

20 And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who are there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.

21 And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, `Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.`

22 Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;

23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

24 And also, those having 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, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.

25 And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.

26 Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,

27 and Jehovah saith, `Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen -- Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.`

28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

29 In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.

30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.

31 A son of twenty and three years is Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,

32 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,

33 and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land -- a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

34 And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.

35 And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.

36 A son of twenty and five years is Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,

37 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.

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

35 And Jehoiakim ^H3079 gave ^H5414 the silver ^H3701 and the gold ^H2091 to Pharaoh; ^H6547 but ^H389 he taxed ^H6186 ^H853 the land ^H776 to give ^H5414 ^H853 the money ^H3701 according ^H5921 to the commandment ^H6310 of Pharaoh: ^H6547 he exacted ^H5065 ^H853 the silver ^H3701 and the gold ^H2091 of ^H853 the people ^H5971 of the land, ^H776 of every one ^H376 according to his taxation, ^H6187 to give ^H5414 it unto Pharaoh Necho. ^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 ^H259 ^H6240 years ^H8141 in Jerusalem. ^H3389 And his mother's ^H517 name ^H8034 was Zebudah, ^H2080 the daughter ^H1323 of Pedaiah ^H6305 of ^H4480 Rumah. ^H7316

37 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
