11-1 KINGS
11-1:3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a
Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
11-1:9 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the
stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all
his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of
Judah the king’s servants:
11-1:19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in
abundance, and hath called all the sons of the
king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not
called.
11-1:20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell
them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
11-1:25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and
fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all
the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and,
behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
11-1:29 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that
hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
11-1:39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the
tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
11-1:40 And all the people came
up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so
that the earth rent with the sound of them.
11-1:41 And Adonijah and all
the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And
when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of
the city being in an uproar?
11-1:49 And all the guests that
were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
11-2:2 I go the way of all the
earth: be thou strong therefore, and
shew thyself a man;
11-2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in
his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and
his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper
in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou
turnest thyself:
11-2:4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake
concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before
me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a
man on the throne of Israel.
11-2:15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine,
and that all Israel set their faces on me, that
I should reign: howbeit the kingdom
is turned about, and is become my brother’s:
for it was his from the LORD.
11-2:26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee
to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee
to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father,
and because thou hast been afflicted in all
wherein my father was afflicted.
11-2:44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that
thou didst to David my father: therefore
the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
11-3:13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not
asked, both riches, and honour: so
that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
11-3:15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he
came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
11-3:28 And all Israel heard of
the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God
was in him, to do judgment.
11-4:1 So king Solomon was king over all
Israel.
11-4:7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and
his household: each man his month in
a year made provision.
11-4:10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh,
and all the land of Hepher:
11-4:11 The son of Abinadab, in all
the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
11-4:12 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and
Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah
beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is
beyond Jokneam:
11-4:21 And Solomon reigned over all
kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border
of Egypt: they brought presents, and
served Solomon all the days of his life.
11-4:24 For he had dominion over all
the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
11-4:25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his
vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
11-4:27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon,
and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table,
every man in his month: they lacked
nothing.
11-4:30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
11-4:31 For he was wiser than all
men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of
Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
11-4:34 And there came of all
people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all
kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
11-5:6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar
trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for
thy servants according to all that thou shalt
appoint: for thou knowest that there
is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
11-5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered
the things which thou sentest to me for:
and I will do all thy desire concerning timber
of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
11-5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees
according to all his desire.
11-5:13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
11-6:10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11-6:12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou
wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I
perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
11-6:18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with
knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
11-6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he
had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with
gold.
11-6:29 And he carved all the walls
of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and
open flowers, within and without.
11-6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is
the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all
the parts thereof, and according to all the
fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
11-7:1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
11-7:5 And all the doors and
posts were square, with the windows:
and light was against light in three ranks.
11-7:9 All
these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed
with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so
on the outside toward the great court.
11-7:14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his
father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass:
and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and
wrought all his work.
11-7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim
to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did
compass it round about.
11-7:25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the
north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south,
and three looking toward the east:
and the sea was set above upon them, and all
their hinder parts were inward.
11-7:33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a
chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their
naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all
molten.
11-7:37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of
them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
11-7:40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons.
So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that
he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
11-7:45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all
these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were
of bright brass.
11-7:47 And Solomon left all
the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
11-7:48 And Solomon made all
the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread
was,
11-7:51 So was ended all the
work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in
the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold,
and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
11-8:1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers
of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might
bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is
Zion.
11-8:2 And all the men of
Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month
Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
11-8:3 And all the elders of
Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
11-8:4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the
tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy
vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites
bring up.
11-8:5 And king Solomon, and all
the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before
the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for
multitude.
11-8:14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of
Israel stood;)
11-8:16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel
out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the
tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose
David to be over my people Israel.
11-8:22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the
presence of all the congregation of Israel, and
spread forth his hands toward heaven:
11-8:23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like
thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with
thy servants that walk before thee with all
their heart:
11-8:38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any
man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know
every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this
house:
11-8:39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and
forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou
knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
11-8:40 That they may fear thee all
the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
11-8:43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to
thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear
thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I
have builded, is called by thy name.
11-8:48 And so return unto thee with all
their heart, and with all their soul, in the
land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward
their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast
chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
11-8:50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee,
and all their transgressions wherein they have
transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried
them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
11-8:52 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of
thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto
them in all that they call for unto thee.
11-8:53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance,
as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our
fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
11-8:54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of
praying all this prayer and supplication unto
the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his
knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
11-8:55 And he stood, and blessed all
the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
11-8:56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his
people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of
Moses his servant.
11-8:58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his
statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
11-8:59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made
supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that
he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
11-8:60 That all the people of
the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
11-8:62 And the king, and all
Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
11-8:63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,
which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred
and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all
the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
11-8:65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the
entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven
days and seven days, even fourteen days.
11-8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went
unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all
the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his
people.
11-9:1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the
building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
11-9:4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father
walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my
statutes and my judgments:
11-9:6 But if ye shall at all
turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments
and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and
worship them:
11-9:7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I
have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast
out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
11-9:9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their
God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken
hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon
them all this evil.
11-9:11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with
cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all
his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of
Galilee.
11-9:19 And all the cities of
store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his
horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon,
and in all the land of his dominion.
11-9:20 And all the people that
were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which
were not of the children of Israel,
11-10:2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train,
with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she
communed with him of all that was in her heart.
11-10:3 And Solomon told her all
her questions: there was not any
thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
11-10:4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,
11-10:13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that
which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own
country, she and her servants.
11-10:15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the
traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the
kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
11-10:21 And all king Solomon’s
drinking vessels were of gold, and all the
vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of
silver: it was nothing accounted of
in the days of Solomon.
11-10:23 So king Solomon exceeded all
the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
11-10:24 And all the earth
sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
11-10:29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six
hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all
the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out
by their means.
11-11:8 And likewise did he for all
his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
11-11:13 Howbeit I will not rend away all
the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake,
and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
11-11:16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
11-11:25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that
Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel,
and reigned over Syria.
11-11:28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that
he was industrious, he made him ruler over all
the charge of the house of Joseph.
11-11:32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s
sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
11-11:34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his
hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake,
whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
11-11:37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according
to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king
over Israel.
11-11:38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and
do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David
my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I
built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
11-11:41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written
in the book of the acts of Solomon?
11-11:42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
11-12:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to
Shechem to make him king.
11-12:3 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto
Rehoboam, saying,
11-12:12 So Jeroboam and all the
people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come
to me again the third day.
11-12:16 So when all Israel saw
that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying,
What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So
Israel departed unto their tents.
11-12:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the
tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones,
that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot,
to flee to Jerusalem.
11-12:20 And it came to pass, when all
Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto
the congregation, and made him king over all
Israel: there was none that followed
the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
11-12:21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an
hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight
against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of
Solomon.
11-12:23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of
Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and
Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
11-13:11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons
came and told him all the works that the man of
God had done that day in Bethel: the
words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
11-13:32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD
against the altar in Bethel, and against all the
houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come
to pass.
11-14:8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and
gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been
as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine
eyes;
11-14:9 But hast done evil above all
that were before thee: for thou hast
gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and
hast cast me behind thy back:
11-14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and
him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the
house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11-14:13 And all Israel shall
mourn for him, and bury him: for he
only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some
good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
11-14:18 And they buried him; and all
Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by
the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
11-14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.
Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And
his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
11-14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they
provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
11-14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD
cast out before the children of Israel.
11-14:26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the
LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he
took away all the shields of gold which Solomon
had made.
11-14:29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
11-14:30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
11-15:3 And he walked in all
the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart
of David his father.
11-15:5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of
the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of
Uriah the Hittite.
11-15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
11-15:7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and
Jeroboam.
11-15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and
removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
11-15:14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect
with the LORD all his days.
11-15:16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of
Israel all their days.
11-15:18 Then Asa took all the
silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD,
and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his
servants: and king Asa sent them to
Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at
Damascus, saying,
11-15:20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the
captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote
Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all
Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
11-15:22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof,
wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin,
and Mizpah.
11-15:23 The rest of all the
acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
11-15:27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar,
conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the
Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege
to Gibbethon.
11-15:29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any
that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the
LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
11-15:31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel?
11-15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of
Israel all their days.
11-15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha
the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in
Tirzah, twenty and four years.
11-16:7 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of
Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even
for all the evil that he did in the sight of the
LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the
house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
11-16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon
as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the
house of Baasha: he left him not one
that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
11-16:12 Thus did Zimri destroy all
the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against
Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
11-16:13 For all the sins of
Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they
made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their
vanities.
11-16:14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
11-16:16 And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri
hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri,
the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
11-16:17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
11-16:25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did
worse than all that were before him.
11-16:26 For he walked in all
the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel
to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
11-16:30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the
LORD above all that were before him.
11-16:33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke
the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the
kings of Israel that were before him.
11-18:5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks:
peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose
not all the beasts.
11-18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal
four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat
at Jezebel’s table.
11-18:20 So Ahab sent unto all
the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
11-18:21 And Elijah came unto all
the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be
God, follow him: but if Baal, then
follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
11-18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call
on the name of the LORD: and the God
that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the
people answered and said, It is well spoken.
11-18:30 And Elijah said unto all
the people, Come near unto me. And all the
people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was
broken down.
11-18:36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the
evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of
Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in
Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
11-18:39 And when all the people
saw it, they fell on their faces:
and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
11-19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all
that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all
the prophets with the sword.
11-19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and
every mouth which hath not kissed him.
11-20:1 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and
chariots: and he went up and
besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
11-20:4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O
king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all
that I have.
11-20:7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how
this man seeketh mischief: for he
sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my
gold; and I denied him not.
11-20:8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him,
nor consent.
11-20:9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad,
Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send
for to thy servant at the first I will do:
but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word
again.
11-20:10 And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so
unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11-20:13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of
Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all
this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and
thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
11-20:15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the
provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the
people, even all the children of Israel, being
seven thousand.
11-20:27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little
flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
11-20:28 And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king
of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD
is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver
all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye
shall know that I am the LORD.
11-21:26 And he did very abominably in following idols,
according to all things as did the Amorites,
whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
11-22:10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of
Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the
entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the
prophets prophesied before them.
11-22:12 And all the prophets
prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand.
11-22:17 And he said, I saw all
Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no
master: let them return every man to
his house in peace.
11-22:19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne,
and all the host of heaven standing by him on his
right hand and on his left.
11-22:22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I
will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade
him, and prevail also: go forth, and
do so.
11-22:23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying
spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets,
and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
11-22:28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he
said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
11-22:39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made,
and all the cities that he built, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
11-22:43 And he walked in all
the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was
right in the eyes of the LORD:
nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and
burnt incense yet in the high places.
11-22:53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked
to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all
that his father had done.
A,406 all
12-2 KINGS
12-3:6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time,
and numbered all Israel.
12-3:19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice
city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all
wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
12-3:21 And when all the
Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered
all that were able to put on armour, and upward,
and stood in the border.
12-3:25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece
of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees:
only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went
about it, and smote it.
12-4:3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a
few.
12-4:4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door
upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all
those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
12-4:13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou
hast been careful for us with all this care;
what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the
captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
12-5:12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in
them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
12-5:15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that
there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a
blessing of thy servant.
12-5:21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw
him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said,
Is all well?
12-5:22 And he said, All is
well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from
mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of
garments.
12-6:24 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of
Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and
besieged Samaria.
12-7:13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some
take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city,
(behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel
that are left in it: behold, I say,
they are even as all the multitude of the
Israelites that are consumed:) and
let us send and see.
12-7:15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all
the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in
their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
12-8:4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man
of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the
great things that Elisha hath done.
12-8:6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So
the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all
the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
12-8:21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him
about, and the captains of the chariots:
and the people fled into their tents.
12-8:23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-9:5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host
were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said,
Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O
captain.
12-9:7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master,
that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
12-9:11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And
he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12-9:14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi
conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
12-10:5 And he that was over the house, and he that was over
the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu,
saying, We are thy servants, and will do all
that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
12-10:9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out,
and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be
righteous: behold, I conspired
against my master, and slew him: but
who slew all these?
12-10:11 So Jehu slew all that
remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all
his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none
remaining.
12-10:17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed
him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
12-10:18 And Jehu gathered all
the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu
shall serve him much.
12-10:19 Now therefore call unto me all
the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to
Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in
subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
12-10:21 And Jehu sent through all
Israel: and all
the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not.
And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one
end to another.
12-10:22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring
forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal.
And he brought them forth vestments.
12-10:30 And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done
well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house
of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart,
thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
12-10:31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD
God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of
Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
12-10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
12-10:33 From Jordan eastward, all
the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from
Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
12-10:34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all
his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
12-11:1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the
seed royal.
12-11:7 And two parts of all
you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house
of the LORD about the king.
12-11:9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were
to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and
came to Jehoiada the priest.
12-11:14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a
pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with
trumpets: and Athaliah rent her
clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
12-11:18 And all the people of
the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his
images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal
before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the
LORD.
12-11:19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the
captains, and the guard, and all the people of
the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came
by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the
throne of the kings.
12-11:20 And all the people of
the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
12-12:2 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of
the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the
priest instructed him.
12-12:4 And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought
into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the
account, the money that every man is set at, and all
the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
12-12:9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole
in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh
into the house of the LORD: and the
priests that kept the door put therein all the
money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
12-12:12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber
and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
12-12:18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah,
his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the
house of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
12-12:19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-13:3 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel,
and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand
of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
12-13:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12-13:11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD; he departed not from all the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
12-13:12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against
Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Israel?
12-13:22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
12-14:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the
LORD, yet not like David his father:
he did according to all things as Joash his
father did.
12-14:14 And he took all the
gold and silver, and all the vessels that were
found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and
hostages, and returned to Samaria.
12-14:21 And all the people of
Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of
his father Amaziah.
12-14:24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin.
12-14:28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how
he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12-15:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the
LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah
had done;
12-15:6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-15:16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from
Tirzah: because they opened not to
him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein
that were with child he ripped up.
12-15:18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
12-15:20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty
shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria
turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
12-15:21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12-15:26 And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12-15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came
Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah,
and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all
the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
12-15:31 And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12-15:34 And he did that which was right in the sight of the
LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
12-15:36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-16:10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser
king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar,
and the pattern of it, according to all the
workmanship thereof.
12-16:11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against
king Ahaz came from Damascus.
12-16:15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying,
Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat
offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt
offering of all the people of the land, and
their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
12-16:16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
12-17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it
three years.
12-17:9 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that
were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to
the fenced city.
12-17:11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD
carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to
anger:
12-17:13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against
Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways,
and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all
the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants
the prophets.
12-17:16 And they left all the
commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two
calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the
host of heaven, and served Baal.
12-17:20 And the LORD rejected all
the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of
spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
12-17:22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed
not from them;
12-17:23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he
had said by all his servants the prophets. So
was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
12-17:39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall
deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
12-18:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the
LORD, according to all that David his father
did.
12-18:5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after
him was none like him among all the kings of
Judah, nor any that were before him.
12-18:12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their
God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that
Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
12-18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did
Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all
the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
12-18:15 And Hezekiah gave him all
the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the
king’s house.
12-18:21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this
bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his
hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh
king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
12-18:33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
12-18:35 Who are they among all
the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand,
that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
12-19:4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria
his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which
the LORD thy God hath heard:
wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
12-19:11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have
done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12-19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD
God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even
thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth;
thou hast made heaven and earth.
12-19:19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save
thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms
of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
12-19:24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the
sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers
of besieged places.
12-19:35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the
LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and
five thousand: and when they arose
early in the morning, behold, they were all dead
corpses.
12-20:13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and
the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor
in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them
not.
12-20:15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And
Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in
mine house have they seen: there is nothing
among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
12-20:17 Behold, the days come, that all
that is in thine house, and that
which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into
Babylon: nothing shall be left,
saith the LORD.
12-20:20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit,
and brought water into the city, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-21:3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah
his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove,
as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all
the host of heaven, and served them.
12-21:5 And he built altars for all
the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
12-21:7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had
made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In
this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
12-21:8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more
out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do
according to all that I have commanded them, and
according to all the law that my servant Moses
commanded them.
12-21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these
abominations, and hath done wickedly
above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah
also to sin with his idols:
12-21:14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance,
and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey
and a spoil to all their enemies;
12-21:17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-21:21 And he walked in all
the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served,
and worshipped them:
12-21:24 And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the
people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
12-22:2 And he did that
which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside
to the right hand or to the left.
12-22:13 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people,
and for all Judah, concerning the words of this
book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled
against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book,
to do according unto all that which is written
concerning us.
12-22:16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon
this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which
the king of Judah hath read:
12-22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense
unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall
be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
12-22:20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers,
and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not
see all the evil which I will bring upon this
place. And they brought the king word again.
12-23:1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
12-23:2 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, 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 the LORD.
12-23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant
before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all
their soul, to perform the words of
this covenant that were written in this book. And all
the people stood to the covenant.
12-23:4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and
the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth
out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels
that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all
the host of heaven: and he burned
them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them
unto Bethel.
12-23:5 And 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; them also that burned incense
unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
12-23:8 And 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 brake down the high
places of the gates that were in the
entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of
the city.
12-23:19 And all the houses also
of the high places that were in the
cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and
did to them according to all the acts that he
had done in Bethel.
12-23:20 And he slew all the priests
of the high places that were there
upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
12-23:21 And the king commanded all
the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this
covenant.
12-23:22 Surely there was not holden such a passover from the
days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all
the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
12-23:24 Moreover the workers
with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of
Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of
the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the
house of the LORD.
12-23:25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that
turned to the LORD 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.
12-23:26 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the
fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah,
because of all the provocations that Manasseh
had provoked him withal.
12-23:28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
12-23:32 And he did that
which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
12-23:37 And he did that
which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
12-24:3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of
Manasseh, according to all that he did;
12-24:5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house,
and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which
Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had
said.
12-24:14 And he carried away all
Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all
the craftsmen and smiths: none
remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

Babylon.

had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all
these vessels was without weight.
