⁸ And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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 Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ So Ben-hadad 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 Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Manasseh was twelve twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Jehoiachin was eighteen eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Manasseh was twelve twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, for she was the sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers. seers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ But 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.
