14-1:1 And
Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was
with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
14-1:3 So
Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the
tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
14-1:5 Moreover
the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he
put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon
and the congregation sought unto it.
14-1:6 And
Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD,
which was at the tabernacle of the
congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
14-1:9 Now,
O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father
be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the
earth in multitude.
14-2:1 And
Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
14-2:4 Behold,
I build an house to the name of the LORD my God,
to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense,
and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and
evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the
LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
14-2:11 Then
Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because
the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made
thee king over them.
14-2:12 Huram
said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who
hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and
understanding, that might build an house for the LORD,
and an house for his kingdom.
14-2:14 The
son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in
brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen,
and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every
device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning
men of my lord David thy father.
14-2:15 Now
therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
14-3:1 Then
Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at
Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place
that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
14-4:16 The
pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did
Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
14-5:1 Thus
all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD
was finished: and Solomon brought in all the
things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and
all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
14-5:2 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 Jerusalem, to bring up the
ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city
of David, which is Zion.
14-5:7 And
the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD
unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the
cherubims:
14-5:10 There was nothing in the ark save the
two tables which Moses put therein at
Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of
Egypt.
14-5:13 It
came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking
the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and
cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD,
saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth
for ever: that then the house was
filled with a cloud, even the house
of the LORD;
14-5:14 So
that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the
glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
14-6:1 Then
said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would
dwell in the thick darkness.
14-6:4 And
he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my
father David, saying,
14-6:7 Now
it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
14-6:8 But
the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as
it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it
was in thine heart:
14-6:10 The
LORD therefore hath performed his word that he
hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on
the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and
have built the house for the name of the LORD
God of Israel.
14-6:11 And
in it have I put the ark, wherein is the
covenant of the LORD, that he made with the
children of Israel.
14-6:12 And
he stood before the altar of the LORD in the
presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
14-6:14 And
said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which
keepest covenant, and shewest mercy
unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
14-6:16 Now
therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy
servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall
not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that
thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked
before me.
14-6:17 Now
then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be
verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
14-6:19 Have
respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer
which thy servant prayeth before thee:
14-6:41 Now
therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting
place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy
saints rejoice in goodness.
14-6:42 O
LORD God, turn not away the face of thine
anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
14-7:1 Now
when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and
consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
14-7:2 And
the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD,
because the glory of the LORD had filled the
LORD’S house.
14-7:3 And
when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of
the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves
with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised
the LORD, saying,
For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
14-7:4 Then
the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
14-7:6 And
the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of
musick of the LORD, which David the king had
made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by
their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel
stood.
14-7:7 Moreover
Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD:
for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings,
because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the
burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
14-7:10 And
on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away
into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to
Israel his people.
14-7:11 Thus
Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the
king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of
the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously
effected.
14-7:12 And
the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said
unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an
house of sacrifice.
14-7:21 And
this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth
by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD
done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
14-7:22 And
it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD
God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and
laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath
he brought all this evil upon them.
14-8:1 And
it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house
of the LORD, and his own house,
14-8:11 And
Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the
house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the
house of David king of Israel, because the
places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD
hath come.
14-8:12 Then
Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on
the altar of the LORD, which he had built before
the porch,
14-8:16 Now
all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the
house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
14-9:4 And
the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of
his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and
his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD;
there was no more spirit in her.
14-9:8 Blessed
be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to
set thee on his throne, to be king
for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved
Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to
do judgment and justice.
14-9:11 And
the king made of the algum trees
terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the
king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such
seen before in the land of Judah.
14-10:15 So
the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the
hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
14-11:2 But
the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of
God, saying,
14-11:4 Thus
saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight
against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of
me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and
returned from going against Jeroboam.
14-11:14 For
the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and
Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the
priest’s office unto the LORD:
14-11:16 And
after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the
LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to
sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
14-12:1 And
it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had
strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD,
and all Israel with him.
14-12:2 And
it came to pass, that in the fifth
year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because
they had transgressed against the LORD,
14-12:5 Then
came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to
the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of
Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD,
Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
14-12:6 Whereupon
the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
14-12:7 And
when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves,
the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying,
They have humbled themselves; therefore I
will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath
shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
14-12:9 So
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of
the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the
king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which
Solomon had made.
14-12:11 And
when the king entered into the house of the LORD,
the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
14-12:12 And
when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD
turned from him, that he would not destroy him
altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
14-12:13 So
king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the
LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,
to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
14-12:14 And
he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
14-13:5 Ought
ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave
the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even
to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
14-13:6 Yet
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen
up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
14-13:8 And
now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD
in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be
a great multitude, and there are with
you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
14-13:9 Have
ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the
sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of
the nations of other lands? so that whosoever
cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
14-13:10 But
as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which
minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
14-13:11 And
they burn unto the LORD every morning and every
evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table;
and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for
we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye
have forsaken him.
14-13:12 And,
behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with
sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not
against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye
shall not prosper.
14-13:14 And
when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was
before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD,
and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
14-13:18 Thus
the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of
Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD
God of their fathers.
14-13:20 Neither
did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
14-14:2 And
Asa did that which was good and right
in the eyes of the LORD his God:
14-14:4 And
commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their
fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
14-14:6 And
he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in
those years; because the LORD had given him
rest.
14-14:7 Therefore
he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars,
while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and
prospered.
14-14:11 And
Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing
with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us,
O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy
name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against
thee.
14-14:12 So
the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and
before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
14-14:13 And
Asa and the people that were with him
pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could
not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very
much spoil.
14-14:14 And
they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities;
for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
14-15:2 And
he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and
Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be
found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
14-15:4 But
when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD
God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
14-15:8 And
when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took
courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and
Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and
renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
14-15:9 And
he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and
Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance,
when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
14-15:11 And
they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the
spoil which they had brought, seven
hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
14-15:12 And
they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD
God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
14-15:13 That
whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel
should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14-15:14 And
they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and
with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
14-15:15 And
all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and
sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
14-16:2 Then
Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king’s house, and sent to Benhadad
king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
14-16:7 And
at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him,
Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of
Syria escaped out of thine hand.
14-16:8 Were
not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and
horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD,
he delivered them into thine hand.
14-16:9 For
the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout
the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect
toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou
shalt have wars.
14-16:12 And
Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until
his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not
to the LORD, but to the physicians.
14-17:3 And
the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked
in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
14-17:4 But
sought to the LORD
God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings
of Israel.
14-17:5 Therefore
the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and
all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in
abundance.
14-17:6 And
his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD:
moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
14-17:9 And
they taught in Judah, and had the
book of the law of the LORD with them, and went
about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
14-17:10 And
the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms
of the lands that were round about
Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
14-17:16 And
next him was Amasiah the son of
Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD;
and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
14-18:4 And
Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of
the LORD to day.
14-18:6 But
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a
prophet of the LORD besides, that we might
enquire of him?
14-18:7 And
the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There
is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD:
but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same
is Micaiah the son of Imla. And
Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
14-18:10 And
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith
the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until
they be consumed.
14-18:11 And
all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for
the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
14-18:13 And
Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I
speak.
14-18:15 And
the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing
but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?
14-18:16 Then
he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have
no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no
master; let them return therefore every
man to his house in peace.
14-18:18 Again
he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I
saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all
the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
14-18:19 And
the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of
Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after
this manner, and another saying after that manner.
14-18:20 Then
there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD,
and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto
him, Wherewith?
14-18:21 And
he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.
And the LORD
said, Thou shalt entice him, and
thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even
so.
14-18:22 Now
therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying
spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD
hath spoken evil against thee.
14-18:23 Then
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and
said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from
me to speak unto thee?
14-18:27 And
Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me.
And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
14-18:31 And
it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they
said, It is the king of Israel.
Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the
LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
14-19:2 And
Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king
Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is
wrath upon thee from before the LORD.
14-19:4 And
Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from
Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers.
14-19:6 And
said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the
LORD, who is
with you in the judgment.
14-19:7 Wherefore
now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take
heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of
gifts.
14-19:8 Moreover
in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the
judgment of the LORD, and for controversies,
when they returned to Jerusalem.
14-19:9 And
he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
14-19:10 And
what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their
cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and
judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath
come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
14-19:11 And,
behold, Amariah the chief priest is over
you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the
son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters:
also the Levites shall be officers
before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD
shall be with the good.
14-20:3 And
Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD,
and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
14-20:4 And
Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help
of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah
they came to seek the LORD.
14-20:5 And
Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of
the LORD, before the new court,
14-20:6 And
said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the
heathen? and in thine hand is there not power
and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
14-20:13 And
all Judah stood before the LORD, with their
little ones, their wives, and their children.
14-20:14 Then
upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the
son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
14-20:15 And
he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king
Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be
not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
14-20:17 Ye
shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be
dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD
will be with you.
14-20:18 And
Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face
to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
14-20:19 And
the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the
Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of
Israel with a loud voice on high.
14-20:20 And
they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa:
and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD
your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye
prosper.
14-20:21 And
when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness,
as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
14-20:22 And
when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD
set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were
come against Judah; and they were smitten.
14-20:26 And
on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for
there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name
of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
14-20:27 Then
they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront
of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD
had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
14-20:28 And
they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of
the LORD.
14-20:29 And
the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those
countries, when they had heard that the LORD
fought against the enemies of Israel.
14-20:32 And
he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the
LORD.
14-20:37 Then
Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying,
Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD
hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go
to Tarshish.
14-21:6 And
he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for
he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
14-21:7 Howbeit
the LORD would not destroy the house of David,
because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give
a light to him and to his sons for ever.
14-21:10 So
the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time
also did Libnah revolt from under his
hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of
his fathers.
14-21:12 And
there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not
walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of
Judah,
14-21:14 Behold,
with a great plague will the LORD smite thy
people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
14-21:16 Moreover
the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit
of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
14-21:18 And
after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels
with an incurable disease.
14-22:4 Wherefore
he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the
house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to
his destruction.
14-22:7 And
the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come,
he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
14-22:9 And
he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and
brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because,
said they, he is the son of
Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his
heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
14-23:3 And
all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he
said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
14-23:5 And
a third part shall be at the king’s
house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of
the LORD.
14-23:6 But
let none come into the house of the LORD, save
the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep
the watch of the LORD.
14-23:12 Now
when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she
came to the people into the house of the LORD:
14-23:14 Then
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the
host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth
her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the
house of the LORD.
14-23:18 Also
Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD
by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house
of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the
LORD, as it
is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
14-23:19 And
he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD,
that none which was unclean in any
thing should enter in.
14-23:20 And
he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people,
and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the
LORD: and they came through the high gate into
the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
14-24:2 And
Joash did that which was right in the
sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the
priest.
14-24:4 And
it came to pass after this, that Joash
was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
14-24:6 And
the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not
required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the
collection, according to the commandment of
Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the
congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
14-24:7 For
the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and
also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD
did they bestow upon Baalim.
14-24:8 And
at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of
the house of the LORD.
14-24:9 And
they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid
upon Israel in the wilderness.
14-24:12 And
the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the
house of the LORD, and hired masons and
carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and
also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
14-24:14 And
when they had finished it, they brought
the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels
for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they
offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD
continually all the days of Jehoiada.
14-24:18 And
they left the house of the LORD God of their
fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem
for this their trespass.
14-24:19 Yet
he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD;
and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
14-24:20 And
the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which
stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the
commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot
prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he
hath also forsaken you.
