2 Kings 23

KJV

1  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and they gathered⁶²² unto⁴¹³ him all³⁶⁰⁵ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

2  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ him, and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ both small^{4480 6996} and great:¹⁴¹⁹ and he read⁷¹²¹ in their ears^{241 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ which was found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ a pillar,⁵⁹⁸² and made^{3772 853} a covenant¹²⁸⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ his commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ and his testimonies⁵⁷¹⁵ and his statutes²⁷⁰⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart³⁸²⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul,⁵³¹⁵ to perform^{6965 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ covenant¹²⁸⁵ that were written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ book.⁵⁶¹² And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ to the covenant.¹²⁸⁵

4  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded^{6680 853} Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the second order,⁴⁹³² and the keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of the door,⁵⁵⁹² to bring forth³³¹⁸ out of the temple^{4480 1964} of the LORD^{3068 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ that were made⁶²¹³ for Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and for the grove,⁸⁴² and for all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven:⁸⁰⁶⁴ and he burned⁸³¹³ them without^{4480 2351} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in the fields⁷⁷⁰⁹ of Kidron,⁶⁹³⁹ and carried^{5375 853} the ashes⁶⁰⁸³ of them unto Bethel.¹⁰⁰⁸

5  And he put down^{7673 853} the idolatrous priests,³⁶⁴⁹ whom⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ had ordained⁵⁴¹⁴ to burn incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ in the high places¹¹¹⁶ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and in the places round about⁴⁵²⁴ Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ them also that burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ to the sun,⁸¹²¹ and to the moon,³³⁹⁴ and to the planets,⁴²⁰⁸ and to all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

6  And he brought out^{3318 853} the grove⁸⁴² from the house^{4480 1004} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ without^{4480 2351} Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ unto⁴¹³ the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron,⁶⁹³⁹ and burned⁸³¹³ it at the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron,⁶⁹³⁹ and stamped it small¹⁸⁵⁴ to powder,⁶⁰⁸³ and cast^{7993 853} the powder⁶⁰⁸³ thereof upon⁵⁹²¹ the graves⁶⁹¹³ of the children¹¹²¹ of the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

7  And he broke down^{5422 853} the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of the sodomites,⁶⁹⁴⁵ that⁸³⁴ were by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ where^{834 8033} the women⁸⁰² wove⁷⁰⁷ hangings¹⁰⁰⁴ for the grove.⁸⁴²

8  And he brought^{935 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ out of the cities^{4480 5892} of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and defiled^{2930 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ where^{834 8033} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ had burned incense,⁶⁹⁹⁹ from Geba^{4480 1387} to⁵⁷⁰⁴ Beer-sheba,⁸⁸⁴ and broke down^{5422 853} the high places¹¹¹⁶ of the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ that⁸³⁴ were in the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Joshua³⁰⁹¹ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ were on⁵⁹²¹ a man's³⁷⁶ left hand⁸⁰⁴⁰ at the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of the city.⁵⁸⁹²

9  Nevertheless³⁸⁹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the high places¹¹¹⁶ came not up^{5927 3808} to⁴¹³ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ but^{3588 518} they did eat³⁹⁸ of the unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² among⁸⁴³² their brethren.²⁵¹

10  And he defiled^{2930 853} Topheth,⁸⁶¹² which⁸³⁴ is in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of the children¹¹²¹ of Hinnom,²⁰¹¹ that no¹¹¹⁵ man³⁷⁶ might make ⁸⁵³ his son¹¹²¹ or his daughter¹³²³ to pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the fire⁷⁸⁴ to Molech.⁴⁴³²

11  And he took away^{7673 853} the horses⁵⁴⁸³ that⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ had given⁵⁴¹⁴ to the sun,⁸¹²¹ at the entering in^{4480 935} of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ by⁴¹³ the chamber³⁹⁵⁷ of Nathan-melech⁵⁴¹⁹ the chamberlain,⁵⁶³¹ which⁸³⁴ was in the suburbs,⁶⁵⁰³ and burned⁸³¹³ the chariots⁴⁸¹⁸ of the sun⁸¹²¹ with fire.⁷⁸⁴

12  And the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were on⁵⁹²¹ the top¹⁴⁰⁶ of the upper chamber⁵⁹⁴⁴ of Ahaz,²⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ had made,⁶²¹³ and the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ had made⁶²¹³ in the two⁸¹⁴⁷ courts²⁶⁹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ beat down,⁵⁴²² and broke them down⁷³²³ from thence,^{4480 8033} and cast^{7993 853} the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of them into⁴¹³ the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

13  And the high places¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were before^{5921 6440} Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ which⁸³⁴ were on the right hand^{4480 3225} of the mount²⁰²² of corruption,⁴⁸⁸⁹ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ had built¹¹²⁹ for Ashtoreth⁶²⁵³ the abomination⁸²⁵¹ of the Zidonians,⁶⁷²² and for Chemosh³⁶⁴⁵ the abomination⁸²⁵¹ of the Moabites,⁴¹²⁴ and for Milcom⁴⁴⁴⁵ the abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ defile.²⁹³⁰

14  And he broke in pieces^{7665 853} the images,⁴⁶⁷⁶ and cut down^{3772 853} the groves,⁸⁴² and filled^{4390 853} their places⁴⁷²⁵ with the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of men.¹²⁰

15  Moreover^{1571 853} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was at Bethel,¹⁰⁰⁸ and the high place¹¹¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ who⁸³⁴ made ⁸⁵³ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to sin,²³⁹⁸ had made,⁶²¹³ both^{1571 853} that¹⁹³¹ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ and the high place¹¹¹⁶ he broke down,⁵⁴²² and burned^{8313 853} the high place,¹¹¹⁶ and stamped it small¹⁸⁵⁴ to powder,⁶⁰⁸³ and burned⁸³¹³ the grove.⁸⁴²

16  And as Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ turned⁶⁴³⁷ himself, he spied^{7200 853} the sepulchers⁶⁹¹³ that⁸³⁴ were there⁸⁰³³ in the mount,²⁰²² and sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and took^{3947 853} the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sepulchers,⁶⁹¹³ and burned⁸³¹³ them upon⁵⁹²¹ the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and polluted²⁹³⁰ it, according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ proclaimed,⁷¹²¹ who⁸³⁴ proclaimed^{7121 853} these⁴²⁸ words.¹⁶⁹⁷

17  Then he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ title⁶⁷²⁵ is that¹⁹⁷⁵ that⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ see?⁷²⁰⁰ And the men³⁷⁶ of the city⁵⁸⁹² told^{559 413} him, It is the sepulcher⁶⁹¹³ of the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ from Judah,^{4480 3063} and proclaimed^{7121 853} these⁴²⁸ things¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ thou hast done⁶²¹³ against⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of Bethel.¹⁰⁰⁸

18  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Let him alone;⁵¹¹⁷ let no⁴⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ move⁵¹²⁸ his bones.⁶¹⁰⁶ So they let his bones alone,^{4422 6106} with⁸⁵⁴ the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ out of Samaria.^{4480 8111}

19  And ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ also¹⁵⁷¹ of the high places¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Samaria,⁸¹¹¹ which⁸³⁴ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ had made⁶²¹³ to provoke the LORD to anger,³⁷⁰⁷ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ took away,⁵⁴⁹³ and did⁶²¹³ to them according to all³⁶⁰⁵ the acts⁴⁶³⁹ that⁸³⁴ he had done⁶²¹³ in Bethel.¹⁰⁰⁸

20  And he slew^{2076 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the high places¹¹¹⁶ that⁸³⁴ were there⁸⁰³³ upon⁵⁹²¹ the altars,⁴¹⁹⁶ and burned^{8313 853} men's¹²⁰ bones⁶¹⁰⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ them, and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

21  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded^{6680 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God,⁴³⁰ as it is written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of this²⁰⁸⁸ covenant.¹²⁸⁵

22  Surely³⁵⁸⁸ there was not³⁸⁰⁸ holden⁶²¹³ such²⁰⁸⁸ a passover⁶⁴⁵³ from the days^{4480 3117} of the judges⁸¹⁹⁹ that⁸³⁴ judged^{8199 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ nor in all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ nor of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah;³⁰⁶³

23  But^{3588 518} in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ wherein this²⁰⁸⁸ passover⁶⁴⁵³ was holden⁶²¹³ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

24  Moreover^{1571 853} the workers with familiar spirits,¹⁷⁸ and the wizards,³⁰⁴⁹ and the images,⁸⁶⁵⁵ and the idols,¹⁵⁴⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the abominations⁸²⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ were spied⁷²⁰⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ did Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ put away,¹¹⁹⁷ that⁴⁶¹⁶ he might perform^{6965 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ which were written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² that⁸³⁴ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ found⁴⁶⁷² in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

25  And like unto him³⁶⁴⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ there no³⁸⁰⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, that⁸³⁴ turned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ his heart,³⁸²⁴ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ his soul,⁵³¹⁵ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ his might,³⁹⁶⁶ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses;⁴⁸⁷² neither³⁸⁰⁸ after³¹⁰ him arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ there any like him.³⁶⁴⁴

26  Notwithstanding³⁸⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ from the fierceness^{4480 2740} of his great¹⁴¹⁹ wrath,⁶³⁹ wherewith⁸³⁴ his anger⁶³⁹ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against Judah,³⁰⁶³ because⁵⁹²¹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the provocations³⁷⁰⁸ that⁸³⁴ Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ had provoked³⁷⁰⁷ him withal.

27  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ I will remove^{5493 853} Judah³⁰⁶³ also¹⁵⁷¹ out of^{4480 5921} my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ as⁸³⁴ I have removed^{5493 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and will cast off^{3988 853} this²⁰⁶³ city^{5892 853} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ which⁸³⁴ I have chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of which⁸³⁴ I said,⁵⁵⁹ My name⁸⁰³⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ there.⁸⁰³³

28  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he did,⁶²¹³ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the chronicles^{1697 3117} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah?³⁰⁶³

29  In his days³¹¹⁷ Pharaoh Necho⁶⁵⁴⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ went up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ to⁵⁹²¹ the river⁵¹⁰⁴ Euphrates:⁶⁵⁷⁸ and king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ went¹⁹⁸⁰ against⁷¹²² him; and he slew⁴¹⁹¹ him at Megiddo,⁴⁰²³ when he had seen⁷²⁰⁰ him.

30  And his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ carried⁷³⁹² him in a chariot dead⁴¹⁹¹ from Megiddo,^{4480 4023} and brought⁹³⁵ him to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and buried⁶⁹¹² him in his own sepulcher.⁶⁹⁰⁰ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land⁷⁷⁶ took^{3947 853} Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ and anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ him, and made him king^{4427 853} in his father's stead.^{8478 1}

31  Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ was twenty⁶²⁴² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign;⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ months²³²⁰ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Hamutal,²⁵³⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ of Libnah.^{4480 3841}

32  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his fathers¹ had done.⁶²¹³

33  And Pharaoh Necho⁶⁵⁴⁹ put him in bands⁶³¹ at Riblah⁷²⁴⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Hamath,²⁵⁷⁴ that he might not reign^{4480 4427} in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ and put^{5414 5921} the land⁷⁷⁶ to a tribute⁶⁰⁶⁶ of a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a talent³⁶⁰³ of gold.²⁰⁹¹

34  And Pharaoh Necho⁶⁵⁴⁹ made^{4427 853} Eliakim⁴⁷¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ king⁴⁴²⁷ in the room⁸⁴⁷⁸ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ his father,¹ and turned^{5437 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ to Jehoiakim,³⁰⁷⁹ and took³⁹⁴⁷ Jehoahaz³⁰⁵⁹ away: and he came⁹³⁵ to Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and died⁴¹⁹¹ there.⁸⁰³³

35  And Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the silver³⁷⁰¹ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ to Pharaoh;⁶⁵⁴⁷ but³⁸⁹ he taxed^{6186 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ to give^{5414 853} the money³⁷⁰¹ according⁵⁹²¹ to the commandment⁶³¹⁰ of Pharaoh:⁶⁵⁴⁷ he exacted^{5065 853} the silver³⁷⁰¹ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ of ⁸⁵³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ of every one³⁷⁶ according to his taxation,⁶¹⁸⁷ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ it unto Pharaoh Necho.⁶⁵⁴⁹

36  Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ was twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign;⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eleven^{259 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Zebudah,²⁰⁸⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of Pedaiah⁶³⁰⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Rumah.⁷³¹⁶

37  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his fathers¹ had done.⁶²¹³

1 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ συνήγαγεν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ

2 καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ιουδα καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ προφῆται καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου καὶ ἀνέγνω ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ εὑρεθέντος ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

3 καὶ ἔστη ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν στῦλον καὶ διέθετο διαθήκην ἐνώπιον κυρίου τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω κυρίου καὶ τοῦ φυλάσσειν τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ψυχῇ τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο καὶ ἔστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ

4 καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χελκια τῷ ἱερεῖ τῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τῆς δευτερώσεως καὶ τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὸν σταθμὸν τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ κυρίου πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ πεποιημένα τῷ Βααλ καὶ τῷ ἄλσει καὶ πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέκαυσεν αὐτὰ ἔξω Ιερουσαλημ ἐν σαδημωθ Κεδρων καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν εἰς Βαιθηλ

5 καὶ κατέπαυσεν τοὺς χωμαριμ οὓς ἔδωκαν βασιλεῖς Ιουδα καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ τοῖς περικύκλῳ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τοὺς θυμιῶντας τῷ Βααλ καὶ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ τῇ σελήνῃ καὶ τοῖς μαζουρωθ καὶ πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

6 καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν τὸ ἄλσος ἐξ οἴκου κυρίου ἔξωθεν Ιερουσαλημ εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρων καὶ κατέκαυσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κεδρων καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν εἰς χοῦν καὶ ἔρριψεν τὸν χοῦν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν τάφον τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ λαοῦ

7 καὶ καθεῖλεν τὸν οἶκον τῶν καδησιμ τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου οὗ αἱ γυναῖκες ὕφαινον ἐκεῖ χεττιιν τῷ ἄλσει

8 καὶ ἀνήγαγεν πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐκ πόλεων Ιουδα καὶ ἐμίανεν τὰ ὑψηλά οὗ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἀπὸ Γαβαα καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεε καὶ καθεῖλεν τὸν οἶκον τῶν πυλῶν τὸν παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πύλης Ιησου ἄρχοντος τῆς πόλεως τῶν ἐξ ἀριστερῶν ἀνδρὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῆς πόλεως

9 πλὴν οὐκ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κυρίου ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἔφαγον ἄζυμα ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν

10 καὶ ἐμίανεν τὸν Ταφεθ τὸν ἐν φάραγγι υἱοῦ Εννομ τοῦ διάγειν ἄνδρα τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄνδρα τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Μολοχ ἐν πυρί

11 καὶ κατέπαυσεν τοὺς ἵππους οὓς ἔδωκαν βασιλεῖς Ιουδα τῷ ἡλίῳ ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ οἴκου κυρίου εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον Ναθαν βασιλέως τοῦ εὐνούχου ἐν φαρουριμ καὶ τὸ ἅρμα τοῦ ἡλίου κατέκαυσεν πυρί

12 καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος τοῦ ὑπερῴου Αχαζ ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ιουδα καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια ἃ ἐποίησεν Μανασσης ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου καὶ καθεῖλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ κατέσπασεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἔρριψεν τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρων

13 καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον Ιερουσαλημ τὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Μοσοαθ ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν Σαλωμων βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ προσοχθίσματι Σιδωνίων καὶ τῷ Χαμως προσοχθίσματι Μωαβ καὶ τῷ Μολχολ βδελύγματι υἱῶν Αμμων ἐμίανεν ὁ βασιλεύς

14 καὶ συνέτριψεν τὰς στήλας καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσεν τὰ ἄλση καὶ ἔπλησεν τοὺς τόπους αὐτῶν ὀστέων ἀνθρώπων

15 καί γε τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἐν Βαιθηλ τὸ ὑψηλόν ὃ ἐποίησεν Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸς Ναβατ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ καί γε τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐκεῖνο καὶ τὸ ὑψηλὸν κατέσπασεν καὶ συνέτριψεν τοὺς λίθους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν εἰς χοῦν καὶ κατέκαυσεν τὸ ἄλσος

16 καὶ ἐξένευσεν Ιωσιας καὶ εἶδεν τοὺς τάφους τοὺς ὄντας ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἀπέστειλεν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὰ ὀστᾶ ἐκ τῶν τάφων καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐμίανεν αὐτὸ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ ἑστάναι Ιεροβοαμ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπιστρέψας ἦρεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τάφον τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ λαλήσαντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους

17 καὶ εἶπεν τί τὸ σκόπελον ἐκεῖνο ὃ ἐγὼ ὁρῶ καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν ὁ ἐξεληλυθὼς ἐξ Ιουδα καὶ ἐπικαλεσάμενος τοὺς λόγους τούτους οὓς ἐπεκαλέσατο ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Βαιθηλ

18 καὶ εἶπεν ἄφετε αὐτό ἀνὴρ μὴ κινησάτω τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐρρύσθησαν τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὀστῶν τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ ἥκοντος ἐκ Σαμαρείας

19 καί γε εἰς πάντας τοὺς οἴκους τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας οὓς ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ παροργίζειν κύριον ἀπέστησεν Ιωσιας καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Βαιθηλ

20 καὶ ἐθυσίασεν πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ὄντας ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν θυσιαστηρίων καὶ κατέκαυσεν τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπ᾽ αὐτά καὶ ἐπεστράφη εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

21 καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς παντὶ τῷ λαῷ λέγων ποιήσατε τὸ πασχα τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ἡμῶν καθὼς γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης ταύτης

22 ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη τὸ πασχα τοῦτο ἀφ᾽ ἡμερῶν τῶν κριτῶν οἳ ἔκρινον τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ βασιλέων Ιουδα

23 ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ βασιλέως Ιωσια ἐγενήθη τὸ πασχα τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

24 καί γε τοὺς θελητὰς καὶ τοὺς γνωριστὰς καὶ τὰ θεραφιν καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ πάντα τὰ προσοχθίσματα τὰ γεγονότα ἐν γῇ Ιουδα καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐξῆρεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωσιας ἵνα στήσῃ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ τοῦ βιβλίου οὗ εὗρεν Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

25 ὅμοιος αὐτῷ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ βασιλεύς ὃς ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς κύριον ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον Μωυσῆ καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀνέστη ὅμοιος αὐτῷ

26 πλὴν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη κύριος ἀπὸ θυμοῦ ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου οὗ ἐθυμώθη ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ιουδα ἐπὶ τοὺς παροργισμούς οὓς παρώργισεν αὐτὸν Μανασσης

27 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος καί γε τὸν Ιουδαν ἀποστήσω ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου μου καθὼς ἀπέστησα τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπώσομαι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ἣν ἐξελεξάμην τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὸν οἶκον οὗ εἶπον ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ

28 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωσιου καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα

29 ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Φαραω Νεχαω βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιωσιας εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν Νεχαω ἐν Μαγεδδω ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτόν

30 καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ νεκρὸν ἐκ Μαγεδδω καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ιωαχας υἱὸν Ιωσιου καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ

31 υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἦν Ιωαχας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ τρίμηνον ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αμιταλ θυγάτηρ Ιερεμιου ἐκ Λεμνα

32 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ

33 καὶ μετέστησεν αὐτὸν Φαραω Νεχαω ἐν Δεβλαθα ἐν γῇ Εμαθ τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἔδωκεν ζημίαν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα χρυσίου

34 καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Φαραω Νεχαω ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τὸν Ελιακιμ υἱὸν Ιωσιου βασιλέως Ιουδα ἀντὶ Ιωσιου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ιωακιμ καὶ τὸν Ιωαχας ἔλαβεν καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ

35 καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἔδωκεν Ιωακιμ τῷ Φαραω πλὴν ἐτιμογράφησεν τὴν γῆν τοῦ δοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ στόματος Φαραω ἀνὴρ κατὰ τὴν συντίμησιν αὐτοῦ ἔδωκαν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς δοῦναι τῷ Φαραω Νεχαω

36 υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν Ιωακιμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἕνδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ιελδαφ θυγάτηρ Φεδεϊα ἐκ Ρουμα

37 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ

Vul

1 Et renuntiaverunt regi quod dixerat. Qui misit: et congregati sunt ad eum omnes senes Juda et Jerusalem.

2 Ascenditque rex templum Domini, et omnes viri Juda, universique qui habitabant in Jerusalem cum eo sacerdotes et prophetæ, et omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum: legitque, cunctis audientibus, omnia verba libri fœderis, qui inventus est in domo Domini.

3 Stetitque rex super gradum: et fœdus percussit coram Domino, ut ambularent post Dominum, et custodirent præcepta ejus, et testimonia, et cæremonias in omni corde, et in tota anima, et suscitarent verba fœderis hujus, quæ scripta erant in libro illo: acquievitque populus pacto.

4 Et præcepit rex Helciæ pontifici, et sacerdotibus secundi ordinis, et janitoribus, ut projicerent de templo Domini omnia vasa quæ facta fuerant Baal, et in luco, et universæ militiæ cæli: et combussit ea foris Jerusalem in convalle Cedron, et tulit pulverem eorum in Bethel.

5 Et delevit aruspices quos posuerant reges Juda ad sacrificandum in excelsis per civitates Juda, et in circuitu Jerusalem: et eos qui adolebant incensum Baal, et soli, et lunæ, et duodecim signis, et omni militiæ cæli.

6 Et efferri fecit lucum de domo Domini foras Jerusalem in convalle Cedron, et combussit eum ibi, et redegit in pulverem, et projecit super sepulchra vulgi.

7 Destruxit quoque ædiculas effeminatorum quæ erant in domo Domini, pro quibus mulieres texebant quasi domunculas luci.

8 Congregavitque omnes sacerdotes de civitatibus Juda, et contaminavit excelsa ubi sacrificabant sacerdotes de Gabaa usque Bersabee, et destruxit aras portarum in introitu ostii Josue principis civitatis, quod erat ad sinistram portæ civitatis.

9 Verumtamen non ascendebant sacerdotes excelsorum ad altare Domini in Jerusalem: sed tantum comedebant azyma in medio fratrum suorum.

10 Contaminavit quoque Topheth, quod est in convalle filii Ennom, ut nemo consecraret filium suum aut filiam per ignem, Moloch.

11 Abstulit quoque equos quos dederant reges Juda soli in introitu templi Domini juxta exedram Nathanmelech eunuchi, qui erat in Pharurim: currus autem solis combussit igni.

12 Altaria quoque quæ erant super tecta cœnaculi Achaz, quæ fecerant reges Juda, et altaria quæ fecerat Manasses in duobus atriis templi Domini, destruxit rex, et cucurrit inde, et dispersit cinerem eorum in torrentem Cedron.

13 Excelsa quoque, quæ erant in Jerusalem ad dexteram partem montis offensionis, quæ ædificaverat Salomon rex Israël Astaroth idolo Sidoniorum, et Chamos offensioni Moab, et Melchom abominationi filiorum Ammon, polluit rex.

14 Et contrivit statuas, et succidit lucos: replevitque loca eorum ossibus mortuorum.

15 Insuper et altare quod erat in Bethel, et excelsum quod fecerat Jeroboam filius Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israël: et altare illud, et excelsum destruxit, atque combussit, et comminuit in pulverem, succenditque etiam lucum.

16 Et conversus Josias, vidit ibi sepulchra quæ erant in monte: misitque et tulit ossa de sepulchris, et combussit ea super altare, et polluit illud juxta verbum Domini quod locutus est vir Dei, qui prædixerat verba hæc.

17 Et ait: Quis est titulus ille, quem video? Responderuntque ei cives urbis illius: Sepulchrum est hominis Dei, qui venit de Juda, et prædixit verba hæc, quæ fecisti super altare Bethel.

18 Et ait: Dimitte eum: nemo commoveat ossa ejus. Et intacta manserunt ossa illius cum ossibus prophetæ qui venerat de Samaria.

19 Insuper et omnia fana excelsorum quæ erant in civitatibus Samariæ, quæ fecerant reges Israël ad irritandum Dominum, abstulit Josias: et fecit eis secundum omnia opera quæ fecerat in Bethel.

20 Et occidit universos sacerdotes excelsorum qui erant ibi super altaria, et combussit ossa humana super ea: reversusque est Jerusalem.

21 Et præcepit omni populo, dicens: Facite Phase Domino Deo vestro, secundum quod scriptum est in libro fœderis hujus.

22 Nec enim factum est Phase tale a diebus judicum qui judicaverunt Israël, et omnium dierum regum Israël et regum Juda,

23 sicut in octavodecimo anno regis Josiæ factum est Phase istud Domino in Jerusalem.

24 Sed et pythones, et ariolos, et figuras idolorum, et immunditias, et abominationes, quæ fuerant in terra Juda et Jerusalem, abstulit Josias: ut statueret verba legis quæ scripta sunt in libro quem invenit Helcias sacerdos in templo Domini.

25 Similis illi non fuit ante eum rex, qui reverteretur ad Dominum in omni corde suo, et in tota anima sua, et in universa virtute sua juxta omnem legem Moysi: neque post eum surrexit similis illi.

26 Verumtamen non est aversus Dominus ab ira furoris sui magni quo iratus est furor ejus contra Judam propter irritationes quibus provocaverat eum Manasses.

27 Dixit itaque Dominus: Etiam Judam auferam a facie mea, sicut abstuli Israël: et projiciam civitatem hanc quam elegi Jerusalem, et domum de qua dixi: Erit nomen meum ibi.

28 Reliqua autem sermonum Josiæ, et universa quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Juda?

29 In diebus ejus ascendit Pharao Nechao rex Ægypti contra regem Assyriorum ad flumen Euphraten, et abiit Josias rex in occursum ejus: et occisus est in Mageddo cum vidisset eum.

30 Et portaverunt eum servi sui mortuum de Mageddo: et pertulerunt in Jerusalem, et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo. Tulitque populus terræ Joachaz filium Josiæ: et unxerunt eum, et constituerunt eum regem pro patre suo.

31 Viginti trium annorum erat Joachaz cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Amital filia Jeremiæ de Lobna.

32 Et fecit malum coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerant patres ejus.

33 Vinxitque eum Pharao Nechao in Rebla, quæ est in terra Emath, ne regnaret in Jerusalem: et imposuit mulctam terræ centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.

34 Regemque constituit Pharao Nechao Eliacim filium Josiæ pro Josia patre ejus: vertitque nomen ejus Joakim. Porro Joachaz tulit, et duxit in Ægyptum, et mortuus est ibi.

35 Argentum autem et aurum dedit Joakim Pharaoni, cum indixisset terræ per singulos, ut conferretur juxta præceptum Pharaonis: et unumquemque juxta vires suas exegit, tam argentum quam aurum, de populo terræ, ut daret Pharaoni Nechao.

36 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joakim cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Zebida filia Phadaia de Ruma.

37 Et fecit malum coram Domino juxta omnia quæ fecerant patres ejus.
