ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

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

² And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

²³ But in the eighteenth eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
