2 Kings 21 — Scripture text (King James Version)
4519 was twelve8147 6240 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and reigned4427 fifty2572 and five2568 years8141 in 3389. And his mother's517 name8034 was Hephzibah2657. And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, after the abominations8441 of the heathen1471, whom the LORD3068 cast out3423 before6440 the children1121 of 3478. For he built up1129 again7725 the high places1116 which 2396 his father1 had destroyed6; and he reared up6965 altars4196 for Baal1168, and made6213 a grove842, as did6213 256 king4428 of 3478; and worshipped7812 all the host6635 of heaven8064, and served5647 them. And he built1129 altars4196 in the house1004 of the LORD3068, of which the LORD3068 said559, In 3389 will I 7760 my name8034. And he built1129 altars4196 for all the host6635 of heaven8064 in the two8147 courts2691 of the house1004 of the LORD3068. And he made his son1121 pass5674 through the fire784, and observed times6049, and used enchantments5172, and dealt6213 with familiar spirits178 and wizards3049: he wrought6213 much7235 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, to provoke him to anger3707. And he set7760 a graven image6459 of the grove842 that he had made6213 in the house1004, of which the LORD3068 said559 to 1732, and to 8010 his son1121, In this house1004, and in 3389, which I have chosen977 out of all tribes7626 of 3478, will I 7760 my name8034 for ever5769: Neither will I make the feet7272 of 3478 move5110 any more3254 out of the land127 which I gave5414 their fathers1; only if they will observe8104 to do6213 according to all that I have commanded6680 them, and according to all 8451 that my servant5650 4872 commanded6680 them. But they hearkened8085 not: and 4519 seduced8582 them to do6213 more evil7451 than did the nations1471 whom the LORD3068 destroyed8045 before6440 the children1121 of 3478. And the LORD3068 spake1696 by3027 his servants5650 the prophets5030, saying559, Because 4519 king4428 of 3063 hath done6213 these abominations8441, and hath done wickedly7489 above all that the 567 did6213, which were before6440 him, and hath made 3063 also to sin2398 with his idols1544: Therefore thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of 3478, Behold, I am bringing935 such evil7451 upon 3389 and 3063, that whosoever heareth8085 of it, both8147 his ears241 shall tingle6750. And I will stretch5186 over 3389 the line6957 of 8111, and the plummet4949 of the house1004 of 256: and I will wipe4229 3389 as a man wipeth4229 a dish6747, wiping4229 it, and turning2015 it upside down6440. wiping: Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof And I will forsake5203 the 7611 of mine inheritance5159, and deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of their enemies341; and they shall become a prey957 and a spoil4933 to all their enemies341; Because they have done6213 that which was evil7451 in my sight5869, and have provoked4480 me to anger3707, since the day3117 their fathers1 came forth3318 out of 4714, even unto this day3117. Moreover 4519 shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 very3966 much7235, till he had filled4390 3389 from one end6310 to another6310; beside his sin2403 wherewith he made 3063 to sin2398, in doing6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068. from: Heb. from mouth to mouth Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of 4519, and all that he did6213, and his sin2403 that he sinned2398, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3063? And 4519 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 in 1588 of his own house1004, in 1588 of Uzza5798: and Amon526 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. Amon526 was twenty6242 and two8147 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 two8147 years8141 in 3389. And his mother's517 name8034 was Meshullemeth4922, the daughter1323 of Haruz2743 of Jotbah3192. And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, as his father1 4519 did6213. And he walked3212 in all the way1870 that his father1 walked in1980, and served5647 the idols1544 that his father1 served5647, and worshipped7812 them: And he forsook5800 the LORD3068 God430 of his fathers1, and walked1980 not in the way1870 of the LORD3068. And the servants5650 of Amon526 conspired7194 against him, and slew4191 the king4428 in his own house1004. And the people5971 of the land776 slew5221 all them that had conspired7194 against king4428 Amon526; and the people5971 of the land776 made 2977 his son1121 king4427 in his stead. Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Amon526 which he did6213, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3063? And he was buried6912 in his sepulchre6900 in 1588 of Uzza5798: and 2977 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead. : Gr. Josias
