2 Chronicles - Chapter 34

2Ch 34:1	¶	Josiah ²⁹⁷⁷ [was] eight ⁸⁰⁸³ years ⁸¹⁴¹ old ¹¹²¹ when he began to reign ⁴⁴²⁷ , and he reigned ⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ one ²⁵⁹ and thirty ⁷⁹⁷⁰ years ⁸¹⁴¹.
2Ch 34:2		And he did ⁶²¹³ [that which was] right ³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight ⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and walked ³²¹² in the ways ¹⁸⁷⁰ of David ¹⁷³² his father ¹, and declined ⁵⁴⁹³ [neither] to the right hand ³²²⁵, nor to the left ⁸⁰⁴⁰.
2Ch 34:3		For in the eighth ⁸⁰⁸³ year ⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign ⁴⁴²⁷ , while he was yet young ⁵²⁸⁸, he began ²⁴⁹⁰ to seek ¹⁸⁷⁵ after the God ⁴³⁰ of David ¹⁷³² his father ¹: and in the twelfth ⁸¹⁴⁷ ⁶²⁴⁰ year ⁸¹⁴¹ he began ²⁴⁹⁰ to purge ²⁸⁹¹ Judah ³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ from the high places ¹¹¹⁶, and the groves ⁸⁴², and the carved images ⁶⁴⁵⁶, and the molten images ⁴⁵⁴¹.
2Ch 34:4		And they brake down ⁵⁴²² the altars ⁴¹⁹⁶ of Baalim ¹¹⁶⁸ in his presence ⁶⁴⁴⁰; and the images ²⁵⁵³, that [were] on high above them ⁴⁶⁰⁵, he cut down ¹⁴³⁸ ; and the groves ⁸⁴², and the carved images ⁶⁴⁵⁶, and the molten images ⁴⁵⁴¹, he brake in pieces ⁷⁶⁶⁵ , and made dust ¹⁸⁵⁴ [of them], and strowed ²²³⁶ [it] upon ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the graves ⁶⁹¹³ of them that had sacrificed ²⁰⁷⁶ unto them.
2Ch 34:5		And he burnt ⁸³¹³ the bones ⁶¹⁰⁶ of the priests ³⁵⁴⁸ upon their altars ⁴¹⁹⁶, and cleansed ²⁸⁹¹ Judah ³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
2Ch 34:6		And [so did he] in the cities ⁵⁸⁹² of Manasseh ⁴⁵¹⁹, and Ephraim ⁶⁶⁹, and Simeon ⁸⁰⁹⁵, even unto Naphtali ⁵³²¹, with their mattocks ²⁷¹⁹ round about ⁵⁴³⁹.
2Ch 34:7		And when he had broken down ⁵⁴²² the altars ⁴¹⁹⁶ and the groves ⁸⁴², and had beaten ³⁸⁰⁷ the graven images ⁶⁴⁵⁶ into powder ¹⁸⁵⁴ , and cut down ¹⁴³⁸ all the idols ²⁵⁵³ throughout all the land ⁷⁷⁶ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, he returned ⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
2Ch 34:8	¶	Now in the eighteenth ⁸⁰⁸³ ⁶²⁴⁰ year ⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign ⁴⁴²⁷ , when he had purged ²⁸⁹¹ the land ⁷⁷⁶, and the house ¹⁰⁰⁴, he sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ the son ¹¹²¹ of Azaliah ⁶⁸³, and Maaseiah ⁴⁶⁴¹ the governor ⁸²⁶⁹ of the city ⁵⁸⁹², and Joah ³⁰⁹⁸ the son ¹¹²¹ of Joahaz ³⁰⁹⁹ the recorder ²¹⁴² , to repair ²³⁸⁸ the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ his God ⁴³⁰.
2Ch 34:9		And when they came ⁹³⁵ to Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸ the high ¹⁴¹⁹ priest ³⁵⁴⁸, they delivered ⁵⁴¹⁴ the money ³⁷⁰¹ that was brought ⁹³⁵ into the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of God ⁴³⁰, which the Levites ³⁸⁸¹ that kept ⁸¹⁰⁴ the doors ⁵⁵⁹² had gathered ⁶²² of the hand ³⁰²⁷ of Manasseh ⁴⁵¹⁹ and Ephraim ⁶⁶⁹, and of all the remnant ⁷⁶¹¹ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, and of all Judah ³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin ¹¹⁴⁴; and they returned ⁷⁷²⁵ ³⁴²⁷ to Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
2Ch 34:10		And they put ⁵⁴¹⁴ [it] in the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the workmen ⁶²¹³ ⁴³⁹⁹ that had the oversight ⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and they gave ⁵⁴¹⁴ it to the workmen ⁶²¹³ ⁴³⁹⁹ that wrought ⁶²¹³ in the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, to repair ⁹¹⁸ and amend ²³⁸⁸ the house ¹⁰⁰⁴:
2Ch 34:11		Even to the artificers ²⁷⁹⁶ and builders ¹¹²⁹ gave ⁵⁴¹⁴ they [it], to buy ⁷⁰⁶⁹ hewn ⁴²⁷⁴ stone ⁶⁸, and timber ⁶⁰⁸⁶ for couplings ⁴²²⁶, and to floor ⁷¹³⁶ the houses ¹⁰⁰⁴ which the kings ⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah ³⁰⁶³ had destroyed ⁷⁸⁴³ .
2Ch 34:12		And the men ⁵⁸² did ⁶²¹³ the work ⁴³⁹⁹ faithfully ⁵³⁰: and the overseers ⁵³²⁹ of them [were] Jahath ³¹⁸⁹ and Obadiah ⁵⁶⁶², the Levites ³⁸⁸¹, of the sons ¹¹²¹ of Merari ⁴⁸⁴⁷; and Zechariah ²¹⁴⁸ and Meshullam ⁴⁹¹⁸, of the sons of the Kohathites ⁶⁹⁵⁶, to set [it] forward ⁶⁴⁸⁵ ; and [other of] the Levites ³⁸⁸¹, all that could skill ⁹⁹⁵ of instruments ³⁶²⁷ of musick ⁷⁸⁹².
2Ch 34:13		Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens ⁵⁴⁴⁹, and [were] overseers ⁵³²⁹ of all that wrought ⁶²¹³ the work ⁴³⁹⁹ in any manner of service ⁵⁶⁵⁶: and of the Levites ³⁸⁸¹ [there were] scribes ⁵⁶⁰⁸ , and officers ⁷⁸⁶⁰ , and porters ⁷⁷⁷⁸.
2Ch 34:14	¶	And when they brought out ³³¹⁸ the money ³⁷⁰¹ that was brought into ⁹³⁵ the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸ the priest ³⁵⁴⁸ found ⁴⁶⁷² a book ⁵⁶¹² of the law ⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ [given] by ³⁰²⁷ Moses ⁴⁸⁷².
2Ch 34:15		And Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸ answered ⁶⁰³⁰ and said ⁵⁵⁹ to Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ the scribe ⁵⁶⁰⁸ , I have found ⁴⁶⁷² the book ⁵⁶¹² of the law ⁸⁴⁵¹ in the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸. And Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸ delivered ⁵⁴¹⁴ the book ⁵⁶¹² to Shaphan ⁸²²⁷.
2Ch 34:16		And Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ carried ⁹³⁵ the book ⁵⁶¹² to the king ⁴⁴²⁸, and brought ⁷⁷²⁵ ⁰ the king ⁴⁴²⁸ word ¹⁶⁹⁷ back ⁷⁷²⁵ again, saying ⁵⁵⁹ , All that was committed ⁵⁴¹⁴ to ³⁰²⁷ thy servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰, they do ⁶²¹³ [it].
2Ch 34:17		And they have gathered together ⁵⁴¹³ the money ³⁷⁰¹ that was found ⁴⁶⁷² in the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and have delivered ⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the overseers ⁶⁴⁸⁵ , and to the hand ³⁰²⁷ of the workmen ⁶²¹³ ⁴³⁹⁹.
2Ch 34:18		Then Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ the scribe ⁵⁶⁰⁸ told ⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king ⁴⁴²⁸, saying ⁵⁵⁹ , Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸ the priest ³⁵⁴⁸ hath given ⁵⁴¹⁴ me a book ⁵⁶¹². And Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ read ⁷¹²¹ it before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king ⁴⁴²⁸.
2Ch 34:19	¶	And it came to pass, when the king ⁴⁴²⁸ had heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the law ⁸⁴⁵¹, that he rent ⁷¹⁶⁷ his clothes ⁸⁹⁹.
2Ch 34:20		And the king ⁴⁴²⁸ commanded ⁶⁶⁸⁰ Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸, and Ahikam ²⁹⁶ the son ¹¹²¹ of Shaphan ⁸²²⁷, and Abdon ⁵⁶⁵⁸ the son ¹¹²¹ of Micah ⁴³¹⁸, and Shaphan ⁸²²⁷ the scribe ⁵⁶⁰⁸ , and Asaiah ⁶²²² a servant ⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the king's ⁴⁴²⁸, saying ⁵⁵⁹ ,
2Ch 34:21		Go ³²¹² , enquire ¹⁸⁷⁵ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ for me, and for them that are left ⁷⁶⁰⁴ in Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ and in Judah ³⁰⁶³, concerning the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book ⁵⁶¹² that is found ⁴⁶⁷² : for great ¹⁴¹⁹ [is] the wrath ²⁵³⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ that is poured out ⁵⁴¹³ upon us, because our fathers ¹ have not kept ⁸¹⁰⁴ the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, to do ⁶²¹³ after all that is written ³⁷⁸⁹ in this book ⁵⁶¹².
2Ch 34:22	¶	And Hilkiah ²⁵¹⁸, and [they] that the king ⁴⁴²⁸ [had appointed], went ³²¹² to Huldah ²⁴⁶⁸ the prophetess ⁵⁰³¹, the wife ⁸⁰² of Shallum ⁷⁹⁶⁷ the son ¹¹²¹ of Tikvath ⁸⁶¹⁶ ⁸⁴⁴⁵, the son ¹¹²¹ of Hasrah ²⁶⁴¹, keeper ⁸¹⁰⁴ of the wardrobe ⁸⁹⁹; (now she dwelt ³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ in the college ⁴⁹³²:) and they spake ¹⁶⁹⁶ to her to that [effect].
2Ch 34:23		And she answered ⁵⁵⁹ them, Thus saith ⁵⁵⁹ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, Tell ⁵⁵⁹ ye the man ³⁷⁶ that sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ you to me,
2Ch 34:24		Thus saith ⁵⁵⁹ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, Behold, I will bring ⁹³⁵ evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ upon this place ⁴⁷²⁵, and upon the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ thereof, [even] all the curses ⁴²³ that are written ³⁷⁸⁹ in the book ⁵⁶¹² which they have read ⁷¹²¹ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah ³⁰⁶³:
2Ch 34:25		Because they have forsaken ⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have burned incense ⁶⁹⁹⁹ ⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other ³¹² gods ⁴³⁰, that they might provoke me to anger ³⁷⁰⁷ with all the works ⁴⁶³⁹ of their hands ³⁰²⁷; therefore my wrath ²⁵³⁴ shall be poured out ⁵⁴¹³ upon this place ⁴⁷²⁵, and shall not be quenched ³⁵¹⁸ .
2Ch 34:26		And as for ⁴¹³ the king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah ³⁰⁶³, who sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ you to enquire ¹⁸⁷⁵ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, so shall ye say ⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Thus saith ⁵⁵⁹ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ God ⁴³⁰ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ [concerning] the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ which thou hast heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ ;
2Ch 34:27		Because thine heart ³⁸²⁴ was tender ⁷⁴⁰¹ , and thou didst humble ³⁶⁶⁵ thyself before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ God ⁴³⁰, when thou heardest ⁸⁰⁸⁵ his words ¹⁶⁹⁷ against this place ⁴⁷²⁵, and against the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ thereof, and humbledst ³⁶⁶⁵ thyself before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, and didst rend ⁷¹⁶⁷ thy clothes ⁸⁹⁹, and weep ¹⁰⁵⁸ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; I have even heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ [thee] also, saith ⁵⁰⁰² the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸.
2Ch 34:28		Behold, I will gather ⁶²² thee to thy fathers ¹, and thou shalt be gathered ⁶²² to thy grave ⁶⁹¹³ in peace ⁷⁹⁶⁵, neither shall thine eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ see ⁷²⁰⁰ all the evil ⁷⁴⁵¹ that I will bring ⁹³⁵ upon this place ⁴⁷²⁵, and upon the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ of the same. So they brought ⁷⁷²⁵ ⁰ the king ⁴⁴²⁸ word ¹⁶⁹⁷ again ⁷⁷²⁵ .
2Ch 34:29	¶	Then the king ⁴⁴²⁸ sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ and gathered together ⁶²² all the elders ²²⁰⁵ of Judah ³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
2Ch 34:30		And the king ⁴⁴²⁸ went up ⁵⁹²⁷ into the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and all the men ³⁷⁶ of Judah ³⁰⁶³, and the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹, and the priests ³⁵⁴⁸, and the Levites ³⁸⁸¹, and all the people ⁵⁹⁷¹, great ¹⁴¹⁹ and small ⁶⁹⁹⁶: and he read ⁷¹²¹ in their ears ²⁴¹ all the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book ⁵⁶¹² of the covenant ¹²⁸⁵ that was found ⁴⁶⁷² in the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸.
2Ch 34:31		And the king ⁴⁴²⁸ stood ⁵⁹⁷⁵ in his place ⁵⁹⁷⁷, and made ³⁷⁷² a covenant ¹²⁸⁵ before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, to walk ³²¹² after ³¹⁰ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, and to keep ⁸¹⁰⁴ his commandments ⁴⁶⁸⁷, and his testimonies ⁵⁷¹⁵, and his statutes ²⁷⁰⁶, with all his heart ³⁸²⁴, and with all his soul ⁵³¹⁵, to perform ⁶²¹³ the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the covenant ¹²⁸⁵ which are written ³⁷⁸⁹ in this book ⁵⁶¹².
2Ch 34:32		And he caused all that were present ⁴⁶⁷² in Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ and Benjamin ¹¹⁴⁴ to stand ⁵⁹⁷⁵ [to it]. And the inhabitants ³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ did ⁶²¹³ according to the covenant ¹²⁸⁵ of God ⁴³⁰, the God ⁴³⁰ of their fathers ¹.
2Ch 34:33		And Josiah ²⁹⁷⁷ took away ⁵⁴⁹³ all the abominations ⁸⁴⁴¹ out of all the countries ⁷⁷⁶ that [pertained] to the children ¹¹²¹ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸, and made all that were present ⁴⁶⁷² in Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ to serve ⁵⁶⁴⁷ , [even] to serve ⁵⁶⁴⁷ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ their God ⁴³⁰. [And] all his days ³¹¹⁷ they departed ⁵⁴⁹³ not from following ³¹⁰ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, the God ⁴³⁰ of their fathers ¹.
