14:028:001 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he
           reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which
           was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

14:028:002 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made
           also molten images for Baalim.

14:028:003 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
           and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of
           the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of
           Israel.

14:028:004 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and
           on the hills, and under every green tree.

14:028:005 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the
           king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great
           multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And
           he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who
           smote him with a great slaughter.

14:028:006 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and
           twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men;
           because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

14:028:007 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's
           son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that
           was next to the king.

14:028:008 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their
           brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and
           took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to
           Samaria.

14:028:009 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and
           he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said
           unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was
           wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and
           ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

14:028:010 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and
           Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there
           not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

14:028:011 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which
           ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath
           of the LORD is upon you.

14:028:012 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah
           the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and
           Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai,
           stood up against them that came from the war,

14:028:013 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither:
           for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye
           intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our
           trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

14:028:014 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the
           princes and all the congregation.

14:028:015 And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the
           captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among
           them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat
           and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of
           them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm
           trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

14:028:016 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to
           help him.

14:028:017 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried
           away captives.

14:028:018 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low
           country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh,
           and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages
           thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and
           the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.

14:028:019 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel;
           for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the
           LORD.

14:028:020 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and
           distressed him, but strengthened him not.

14:028:021 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and
           out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it
           unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

14:028:022 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more
           against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.

14:028:023 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him:
           and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them,
           therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But
           they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

14:028:024 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God,
           and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up
           the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in
           every corner of Jerusalem.

14:028:025 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn
           incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of
           his fathers.

14:028:026 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last,
           behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and
           Israel.

14:028:027 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
           city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the
           sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son
           reigned in his stead.
 

14:029:001 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old,
           and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his
           mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

14:029:002 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD,
           according to all that David his father had done.

14:029:003 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened
           the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

14:029:004 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered
           them together into the east street,

14:029:005 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now
           yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your
           fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

14:029:006 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil
           in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and
           have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD,
           and turned their backs.

14:029:007 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the
           lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings
           in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

14:029:008 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem,
           and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to
           hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

14:029:009 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons
           and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

14:029:010 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God
           of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

14:029:011 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to
           stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister
           unto him, and burn incense.

14:029:012 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the
           son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons
           of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of
           Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and
           Eden the son of Joah:

14:029:013 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the
           sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

14:029:014 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons
           of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.

14:029:015 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves,
           and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the
           words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

14:029:016 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the
           LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that
           they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the
           house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out
           abroad into the brook Kidron.

14:029:017 Now they began on the first day of the first month to
           sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the
           porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in
           eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they
           made an end.

14:029:018 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have
           cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt
           offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread
           table, with all the vessels thereof.

14:029:019 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did
           cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and
           sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the
           LORD.

14:029:020 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of
           the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

14:029:021 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven
           lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom,
           and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the
           priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the
           LORD.

14:029:022 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the
           blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had
           killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they
           killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the
           altar.

14:029:023 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering
           before the king and the congregation; and they laid their
           hands upon them:

14:029:024 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with
           their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all
           Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the
           sin offering should be made for all Israel.

14:029:025 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals,
           with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment
           of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet:
           for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

14:029:026 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the
           priests with the trumpets.

14:029:027 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the
           altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD
           began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments
           ordained by David king of Israel.

14:029:028 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and
           the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt
           offering was finished.

14:029:029 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all
           that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

14:029:030 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the
           Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David,
           and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness,
           and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

14:029:031 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated
           yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and
           thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the
           congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as
           many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

14:029:032 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation
           brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and
           two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the
           LORD.

14:029:033 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three
           thousand sheep.

14:029:034 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all
           the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did
           help them, till the work was ended, and until the other
           priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more
           upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

14:029:035 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat
           of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every
           burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was
           set in order.

14:029:036 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had
           prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
