Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in the house of God.
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
He stationed all the troops, with their weapons in hand, surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
Then they brought out the king’s son,
and put upon him the crown,
and gave him the testimony,
and made him king.
And Jehoiada
and his sons
anointed him,
and said, God save the king.
Then Jehoiada
and his sons brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony,
and proclaimed him king. They
anointed him
and shouted, “Long live the king!”
Now when
Athaliah heard the noise of the people running
and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
When
Athaliah heard the noise of the people running
and cheering the king, she went out to them in the house of the LORD.
And she looked,
and, behold, the king stood at his
pillar at the entering in,
and the princes
and the
trumpets by the king:
and all the people of the land
rejoiced,
and sounded with
trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick,
and such as taught to sing praise. Then
Athaliah rent her clothes,
and said, Treason, Treason.
And she looked out
and saw the king standing by his
pillar at the entrance. The officers
and trumpeters were beside the king,
and all the people of the land were
rejoicing and blowing
trumpets, while the singers with musical instruments were leading the praises. Then
Athaliah tore her clothes
and screamed, “Treason, treason!”
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host,
and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges:
and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said,
Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
And Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks,
and put to the sword
anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
So they laid hands on her;
and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king’s house, they
slew her there.
So they seized
Athaliah as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate to the palace grounds,
and there they put her to death.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’S people.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people.
Then all the people went to the house of
Baal,
and brake it down,
and brake his altars
and his images in pieces,
and slew Mattan the priest of
Baal before the altars.
So all the people went to the temple of
Baal and tore it down. They
smashed the altars
and idols to pieces
and killed Mattan the priest of
Baal in front of the altars.
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with
rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
Moreover, Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of the LORD into the hands of the
Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as is written in the Law of Moses, with
rejoicing and song, as ordained by David.
And he set the
porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.

And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
He also took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people,
and all the people of the land,
and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD
and entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate. They seated King
Joash on the royal throne,
And all the people of the land
rejoiced:
and the city was quiet, after that they had slain
Athaliah with the sword.
and all the people of the land
rejoiced.
And the city was quiet, because
Athaliah had been put to the sword.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Zibiah of Beer-
sheba.
Joash was seven years old when he became king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from
Beersheba.
And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
And Joash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
And Jehoiada took for him two wives;
and he
begat sons
and daughters.
Jehoiada took for him two wives, and he had sons and daughters.
And it came to pass after this, that
Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
Some time later,
Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.
And he gathered together the priests
and the Levites,
and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah,
and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year,
and see that ye
hasten the matter.
Howbeit the Levites
hastened it not.
So he gathered the priests
and Levites
and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah
and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make
haste.
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”
For the sons of
Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God;
and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they
bestow upon
Baalim.
For the sons of that wicked woman
Athaliah had broken into the house of God
and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals.
And at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD.
And they made a
proclamation through Judah
and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
And a
proclamation was issued in Judah
and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.
And all the princes
and all the people
rejoiced,
and brought in,
and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
All the officers
and all the people
rejoiced and brought their contributions,
and they dropped them in the chest until it was full.
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites,
and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s
scribe and the high priest’s officer came
and emptied the chest,
and took it,
and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day,
and gathered money in abundance.
Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers
and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal
scribe and the officer of the high priest would come
and empty the chest
and carry it back to its place. They did this daily
and gathered the money in abundance.
And the king
and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD,
and hired masons
and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD,
and also such as wrought iron
and brass to
mend the house of the LORD.
Then the king
and Jehoiada would give the money to those who
supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to
hire stonecutters
and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron
and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
So the workmen labored,
and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications,
and they
reinforced it.
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king
and Jehoiada,
whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister,
and to offer
withal,
and spoons,
and vessels of gold
and silver.
And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD.
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
When Jehoiada was old and full of years, he died at the age of 130.
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
And Jehoiada was buried with the kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah,
and made
obeisance to the king. Then the king
hearkened unto them.
After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came
and paid
homage to the king,
and he
listened to them.
And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers,
and served groves
and idols:
and wrath came upon Judah
and Jerusalem for this their
trespass.
They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD;
and they
testified against them: but they would not give ear.
Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him
and to
testify against them; but they would not
listen.
And the Spirit of God came upon
Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people,
and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why
transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot
prosper? because ye have
forsaken the LORD, he hath also
forsaken you.
Then the Spirit of God came upon
Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood up before the people
and said to them, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you
transgress the commandments of the LORD so that you cannot
prosper? Because you have
forsaken the LORD, He has
forsaken you.’”
And they
conspired against him,
and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
Thus
Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but
slew his son.
And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it,
and require it.
Thus King
Joash failed to remember the kindness that
Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead,
Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying,
Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this
and call you to account.”
And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him:
and they came to Judah
and Jerusalem,
and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people,
and sent all the
spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
In the spring, the army of
Aram went to war against
Joash. They entered Judah
and Jerusalem
and destroyed all the leaders of the people,
and they sent all the
plunder to their king in Damascus.
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men,
and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had
forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against
Joash.
Although the
Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army. Because Judah had
forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on
Joash.
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants
conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest,
and slew him on his bed,
and he died:
and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the
sepulchres of the kings.
And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left
Joash severely wounded. His own servants
conspired against him for
shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest,
and they killed him on his bed. So he died
and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
And these are they that
conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess,
and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a
Moabitess.
Those who
conspired against
Joash were Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess
and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the
Moabitess.
Now concerning his sons,
and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him,
and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings.
And Amaziah his son reigned in his
stead.
The accounts of the sons of
Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him
and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the Kings.
And his son
Amaziah reigned in his place.
Amaziah was twenty
and five years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned twenty
and nine years in Jerusalem.
And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
But he
slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
Moreover
Amaziah gathered Judah together,
and made them captains over thousands,
and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah
and Benjamin:
and he numbered them from twenty years old
and above,
and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle
spear and shield.
Then
Amaziah gathered the people of Judah
and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands
and of hundreds.
And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah
and Benjamin
and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the
spear and shield.
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
But if thou
wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help,
and to cast down.
Even if you go
and fight
bravely in battle, God will make you
stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help
and power to overthrow.”
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?
And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?”
And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
Then
Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly
kindled against Judah,
and they returned home in great anger.
So
Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim
and sent them home.
And they were
furious with Judah
and returned home in great anger.
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.
Amaziah, however, summoned his strength
and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of
Seir,
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.
and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a
cliff and threw them down so that all were
dashed to pieces.
But the soldiers of the army which
Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon,
and smote three thousand of them,
and took much
spoil.
Meanwhile the troops that
Amaziah had dismissed from battle
raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people
and carried off a great deal of
plunder.
Now it came to pass, after that
Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of
Seir,
and set them up to be his gods,
and bowed down himself before them,
and burned incense unto them.
When
Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them,
and burned sacrifices to them.
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was
kindled against
Amaziah,
and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against
Amaziah,
and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king’s counsel?
forbear; why shouldest thou be
smitten? Then the prophet
forbare,
and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this,
and hast not
hearkened unto my counsel.
While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the
counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this
and have not
heeded my advice.”
Then
Amaziah king of Judah took advice,
and sent to
Joash, the son of
Jehoahaz, the son of
Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
Then
Amaziah king of Judah took counsel
and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz, the son of
Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast
smitten the Edomites;
and thine heart lifteth thee up to
boast:
abide now at home; why shouldest thou
meddle to thine
hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou,
and Judah with thee?
You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated
Edom,’
and your heart has become proud
and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you
stir up trouble so that you fall—you
and Judah with you?”
So
Joash the king of Israel went up;
and they saw one another in the face, both he
and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
So Jehoash king of Israel advanced,
and he
and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
And Joash the king of Israel took
Amaziah king of Judah, the son of
Joash, the son of
Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh,
and brought him to Jerusalem,
and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured
Amaziah king of Judah, the son of
Joash, the son of
Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem
and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
And he took all the gold
and the silver,
and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-
edom,
and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also,
and returned to Samaria.
He took all the gold
and silver
and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-
edom and in the
treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
Amaziah son of
Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz king of Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of
Amaziah, first
and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah
and Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of
Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah
and Israel?
Now after the time that
Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a
conspiracy against him in Jerusalem;
and he fled to
Lachish: but they sent to
Lachish after him,
and slew him there.
From the time that
Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a
conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem,
and he fled to
Lachish. But men were sent after him to
Lachish,
and they killed him there.
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old,
and made him king in the room of his father
Amaziah.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old,
and made him king in place of his father
Amaziah.
He built Eloth,
and restored it to Judah, after that the king
slept with his fathers.
Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth
and restored it to Judah after King
Amaziah rested with his fathers.
Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father
Amaziah did.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father
Amaziah had done.
And he sought God in the days of
Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God:
and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to
prosper.
He sought God throughout the days of
Zechariah, who
instructed him in the fear of God.
And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
And he went forth
and warred against the Philistines,
and brake down the wall of
Gath,
and the wall of Jabneh,
and the wall of
Ashdod,
and built cities about
Ashdod,
and among the Philistines.
Uzziah went out to
wage war against the Philistines,
and he
tore down the walls of
Gath, Jabneh,
and Ashdod. Then he built cities near
Ashdod and among the Philistines.
And God helped him against the Philistines,
and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-
baal,
and the Mehunims.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-
baal,
and against the Meunites.
And the
Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah:
and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
The
Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah,
and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
Also he built towers in the desert,
and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country,
and in the plains:
husbandmen also,
and vine dressers in the mountains,
and in
Carmel: for he loved
husbandry.
Since he had much
livestock in the foothills
and in the plain, he built towers in the desert
and dug many cisterns.
And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers
and vinedressers in the hill country
and in the fertile fields.
Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the
scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the
scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers.
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of
valor was 2,600.
And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields,
and spears,
and helmets,
and habergeons,
and bows,
and slings to cast stones.
Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets,
armor, bows,
and slingstones.
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by
cunning men, to be on the towers
and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows
and great stones
withal.
And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
And in Jerusalem he made
skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows
and catapult large stones from the towers
and corners. So his fame spread far
and wide, for he was helped
tremendously so that he became powerful.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he
transgressed against the LORD his God,
and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
But when Uzziah grew powerful, his
arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
Then
Azariah the priest, along with eighty
brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
And they
withstood Uzziah the king,
and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast
trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
Then Uzziah was
wroth,
and had a
censer in his hand to burn incense:
and while he was
wroth with the priests, the
leprosy even rose up in his
forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
Uzziah, with a
censer in his hand to offer incense, was
enraged. But while he
raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense,
leprosy broke out on his
forehead.
And Azariah the chief priest,
and all the priests, looked upon him,
and, behold, he was
leprous in his
forehead,
and they thrust him out from thence;
yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had
smitten him.
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.
So King Uzziah was a
leper until the day of his death. He lived in
isolation,
leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to
govern the people of the land.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
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.
And Uzziah rested with his fathers
and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the kings; for the people said, “He was a

Zadok.

howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD.
And the people did yet corruptly.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still
behaved corruptly.
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
He fought also with the king of the
Ammonites,
and prevailed against them.
And the children of
Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver,
and ten thousand measures of wheat,
and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of
Ammon pay unto him, both the second year,
and the third.
Jotham
waged war against the king of the
Ammonites and defeated them,
and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat,

and third years.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

stead.
And Jotham rested with his fathers
and was buried in the City of David.
And his son
Ahaz reigned in his place.

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:
Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king,
and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel,
and made also
molten images for
Baalim.
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
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.
Moreover,
Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of
Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
