II Chronicles 29 (kjv)

29

HezekiahH3169 began to reignH4427 when he was fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121, and he reignedH4427 nineH8672 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AbijahH29, the daughterH1323 of ZechariahH2148.2And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that DavidH1732 his fatherH1 had doneH6213.

3He in the firstH7223 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and repairedH2388 them.4And he brought inH935 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gathered them togetherH622 into the eastH4217 streetH7339,

5And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.6For our fathersH1 have trespassedH4603, and doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsakenH5800 him, and have turned awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitationH4908 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5414 their backsH6203.7Also they have shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put outH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.8Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189 H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869.9For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.10Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.11My sonsH1121, be not now negligentH7952: for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to serveH8334 him, and that ye should ministerH8334 unto him, and burn incenseH6999.

12Then the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965, MahathH4287 the sonH1121 of AmasaiH6022, and JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956: and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, KishH7027 the sonH1121 of AbdiH5660, and AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JehalelelH3094: and of the GershonitesH1649; JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of ZimmahH2155, and EdenH5731 the sonH1121 of JoahH3098:13And of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShimriH8113, and JeielH3273: and of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; ZechariahH2148, and MattaniahH4983:14And of the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968; JehielH3171, and ShimeiH8096: and of the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; ShemaiahH8098, and UzzielH5816.15And they gatheredH622 their brethrenH251, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and cameH935, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.16And the priestsH3548 wentH935 into the inner partH6441 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 it, and brought outH3318 all the uncleannessH2932 that they foundH4672 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068 into the courtH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the LevitesH3881 tookH6901 it, to carry it outH3318 abroadH2351 into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.17Now they beganH2490 on the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 to sanctifyH6942, and on the eighthH8083 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 cameH935 they to the porchH197 of the LORDH3068: so they sanctifiedH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in eightH8083 daysH3117; and in the sixteenthH8337 H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 they made an endH3615.18Then they wentH935 inH6441 to HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and saidH559, We have cleansedH2891 all the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and the shewbreadH4635 tableH7979, with all the vesselsH3627 thereof.19Moreover all the vesselsH3627, which kingH4428 AhazH271 in his reignH4438 did cast awayH2186 in his transgressionH4604, have we preparedH3559 and sanctifiedH6942, and, behold, they are beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.

20Then HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 rose earlyH7925, and gatheredH622 the rulersH8269 of the cityH5892, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.21And they broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499, and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, and sevenH7651 heH6842 goatsH5795, for a sin offeringH2403 for the kingdomH4467, and for the sanctuaryH4720, and for JudahH3063. And he commandedH559 the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 to offerH5927 them on the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.22So they killedH7819 the bullocksH1241, and the priestsH3548 receivedH6901 the bloodH1818, and sprinkledH2236 it on the altarH4196: likewise, when they had killedH7819 the ramsH352, they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196: they killedH7819 also the lambsH3532, and they sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196.23And they brought forthH5066 the he goatsH8163 for the sin offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the congregationH6951; and they laidH5564 their handsH3027 upon them:

24And the priestsH3548 killedH7819 them, and they made reconciliationH2398 with their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, to make an atonementH3722 for all IsraelH3478: for the kingH4428 commandedH559 that the burnt offeringH5930 and the sin offeringH2403 should be made for all IsraelH3478.25And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king'sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030: for so was the commandmentH4687 ofH3027 the LORDH3068 byH3027 his prophetsH5030.26And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.27And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.28And all the congregationH6951 worshippedH7812, and the singersH7892 sangH7891, and the trumpetersH2689 soundedH2690 H2690: and all this continued until the burnt offeringH5930 was finishedH3615.29And when they had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927, the kingH4428 and all that were presentH4672 with him bowedH3766 themselves, and worshippedH7812.30Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.31Then HezekiahH3169 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Now ye have consecratedH4390 H3027 yourselves unto the LORDH3068, come nearH5066 and bringH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And the congregationH6951 brought inH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank offeringsH8426; and as many as were of a freeH5081 heartH3820 burnt offeringsH5930.32And the numberH4557 of the burnt offeringsH5930, which the congregationH6951 broughtH935, was threescore and tenH7657 bullocksH1241, an hundredH3967 ramsH352, and two hundredH3967 lambsH3532: all these were for a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068.33And the consecrated thingsH6944 were sixH8337 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629.34But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548.35And also the burnt offeringsH5930 were in abundanceH7230, with the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, and the drink offeringsH5262 for every burnt offeringH5930. So the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was set in orderH3559.36And HezekiahH3169 rejoicedH8055, and all the peopleH5971, that GodH430 had preparedH3559 the peopleH5971: for the thingH1697 was done suddenlyH6597.
