¹⁹ Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named named Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
