ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven eleven years in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
