^32:33And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ^‖chiefest of the Sepulchres of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.

^33:1MANASSEH was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

^33:1¶ Manasseh ^* was twelue yeeres old when he began to reigne, and he reigned fiftie and fiue yeres in Ierusalem:

^33:2But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

^33:2But did that which was euil in the sight of the LORD, like vnto the abominations of the heathen, ^*whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

^33:3¶ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

^33:3¶ For ^†hee built againe the high places, which Hezekiah his father had ^*broken downe, and he reared vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the host of heauen, and serued them.

^33:4Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

^33:4Also hee built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had saide, ^*In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.

^33:5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

^33:5And he built altars for all the host of heauen, in the two Courts of the house of the LORD.

^33:6And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

^33:6And he caused his children to passe through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he obserued times, and vsed inchantments, and vsed witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much euill in the sight of the LORD, to prouoke him to anger.

^33:7And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

^33:7And hee set a carued image (the idole which he had made) in the house of God, of which God had said to Dauid, and to Solomon his sonne: In ^*this house, and in Ierusalem which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.

^33:8Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

^33:8Neither will I any more remoue the foot ^*of Israel from out of the land which I haue appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to doe all that I haue commanded them, according to the whole Law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

^33:9So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.

^33:9So Manasseh made Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

^33:10And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

^33:10And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

^33:11¶ Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

^33:11¶ Wherfore the LORD brought vpon them the captaines of the host ^†of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thornes, & bound him with ^‖fetters, & caried him to Babylon.

^33:12And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

^33:12And when hee was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himselfe greatly before the God of his fathers,

^33:13And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.

^33:13And prayed vnto him, and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD hee was God.

^33:14Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

^33:14Now after this, hee built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon, in the valley, euen to the entring in at the fish-gate, and compassed about ^‖Ophel, and raised it vp a very great height, and put captaines of warre in all the fenced cities of Iudah.

^33:15And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

^33:15And hee tooke away the strange gods and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.

^33:16And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

^33:16And hee repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and thanke offerings, and commaunded Iudah to serue the LORD God of Israel.

^33:17Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.

^33:17Neuerthelesse, the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet vnto the LORD their God only.

^33:18¶ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

^33:18¶ Nowe the rest of the actes of Manasseh, & his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the booke of the kings of Israel:

^33:19His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

^33:19His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built high places, and set vp groues and grauen images before hee was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of ^‖the Seers.

^33:20¶ So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

^33:20¶ So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne reigned in his stead.

^33:21¶ ^*Amon was two and twentie yeeres old, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned two yeares in Ierusalem.

^33:22But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

^33:22But he did that which was euill in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed vnto all the carued images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued them;

^33:23And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

^33:23And humbled not himselfe before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but Amon ^†trespassed more and more.

^33:24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

^33:24And his seruants conspired against him, and slew him in his owne house.

^33:25¶ But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

^33:25¶ But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon, and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne, king in his stead.

^34:2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and declined neither to the right hand nor to the left.

^34:3¶ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

^34:3¶ For in the eight yeare of his reigne, while he was yet young, hee beganne to seeke after the God of Dauid his father: and in the twelfth yeere hee beganne to ^*purge Iudah and Ierusalem from the high places and the groues, and the carued images, and the molten images.

^34:4And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

^34:4*And they brake downe the altars of Baalim in his presence, and ^‖the images that were on high aboue them, he cut downe, and the groues, and the carued images, and the molten images he brake in peeces, and made dust of them, and strowed it vpon the ^†graues of them, that had sacrificed vnto them.

^34:5And hee burnt the bones of the priests vpon their altars, and cleansed Iudah and Ierusalem.

^34:6And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

^34:6And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, euen vnto Naphtali, with their ^‖mattockes, round about.

^34:7And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

^34:7And when he had broken downe the altars and the groues, and had beaten the grauen images ^†into pouder, and cut downe all the idoles throughout all the land of Israel, hee returned to Ierusalem.

^34:8¶ Now in the eighteenth yeere of his reigne, when hee had purged the land, and the house; he sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah, and Maasiah the gouernour of the citie, and Ioah the sonne of Ioahaz the recorder, to repaire the house of the LORD his God.

^34:9And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

^34:10And they put it in the hand of the workemen that had the ouersight of the house of the LORD, and they gaue it to the workemen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repaire and mend the house.

^34:11Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

^34:11Euen to the artificers and builders gaue they it, to buy hewen stone, and timber for couplings, and ^‖to floore the houses, which the kings of Iudah had destroyed.

^34:12And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

^34:12And the men did the worke faithfully, and the ouerseers of them were Iahath, and Obadiah, the Leuites, of the sonnes of Merari, and Sechariah, and Meshullam, of the sonnes of the Kohathites, to set it forward: and other of the Leuites, all that could skill of instruments of musicke.

^34:14¶ And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest ^*found a booke of the lawe of the LORD, giuen ^†by Moses.

^34:15And Hilkiah answered and saide to Shaphan the scribe: I haue found the booke of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah deliuered the booke to Shaphan:

^34:16And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.

^34:16And Shaphan caried the booke to the king, and brought the king word backe againe, saying, All that was committed ^†to thy seruants, they doe it.

^34:17And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

^34:17And they haue ^†gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and haue deliuered it into the hand of the ouerseers, and to the hand of the workemen.

^34:18Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

^34:18Then Shaphan the scribe tolde the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath giuen me a booke. And Shaphan read ^†it before the king.

^34:19And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

^34:20And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and ^‖Abdon the sonne of Mirah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a seruant of the kings, saying,

^34:21Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do after all that is written in this book.

^34:21Goe, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Iudah, concerning the wordes of the booke that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is powred out vpon vs, because our fathers haue not kept the word of the LORD, to doe after all that is written in this booke.

^34:22And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

^34:22And Hilkiah and they that the king had appointed went to Huldah the prophetesse, the wife of Shallum the sonne of Tikuath, the sonne of ^‖Hasrah, keeper of the ^†wardrobe (now she dwelt in Ierusalem in the ^‖colledge,) and they spake to her to that effect.

^34:23¶ And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

^34:23¶ And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

^34:24Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

^34:24Thus saith the LORD, behold, I will bring euill vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitants thereof, euen all the curses that are written in the booke which they haue read before the king of Iudah:

^34:25Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

^34:25Because they haue forsaken mee, and haue burned incense vnto other gods, that they might prouoke mee to anger with all the workes of their hands, therefore my wrath shall bee powred out vpon this place, and shall not be quenched.

^34:26And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

^34:26And as for the king of Iudah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shal ye say vnto him: Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, concerning the words which thou hast heard:

^34:27Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord.

^34:27Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thy selfe before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thy selfe before me, and diddest rend thy clothes, and weepe before me, I haue euen heard thee also, saith the LORD.

^34:28Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.

^34:28Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt bee gathered to thy graue in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the euill that I will bring vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word againe.

^34:29¶ Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

^34:29¶ ^*Then the king sent, and gathered together all the Elders of Iudah and Ierusalem.

^34:30And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

^34:30And the king went vp into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the priests and the Leuites, and all the people ^†great and small: and he read in their eares all the words of the booke of the couenant, that was found in the house of the LORD.

^34:31And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.

^34:32And he caused all that were ^†present in Ierusalem and Beniamin, to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God, the God of their fathers.

^34:33And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And all his days they departed not from following the Lord, the God of their fathers.

^34:33And Iosiah tooke away all the abominations out of all the countreys that perteined to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serue, euen to serue the LORD their God. And all his dayes they departed not ^†from folowing the LORD the God of their fathers.

^35:1MOREOVER Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

^35:1¶ Moreouer ^*Iosiah kept a Passeouer vnto y ^e LORD in Ierusalem: and they killed the Passeouer on the fourteenth ^* day of the first moneth.

^35:2And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord,

^35:2And hee set the Priestes in their charges, and encouraged them to the seruice of the house of the LORD,

^35:3And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Israel,

^35:3And said vnto the Leuites, that taught all Israel, which were holy vnto the LORD, Put the holy Arke in the house, which Solomon the sonne of Dauid king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden vpon your shoulders: serue now the LORD your God, and his people Israel.

^35:4And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

^35:4And prepare your selues by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the ^*writing of Dauid king of Israel, and according to the ^*writing of Solomon his sonne.

^35:5And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

^35:5And stand in the holy place according to the diuisions of the ^†families of the fathers of your ^†brethren the people, and after the diuision of the families of the Leuites.

^35:6So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

^35:6So kill the Passeouer, and sanctifie your selues, and prepare your brethren, that they may doe according to the word of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.

^35:7And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.

^35:7And Iosiah ^†gaue to the people, of the flocke, lambes and kiddes, all for the Passeouer-offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirtie thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the kings substance.

^35:8And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

^35:8And his Princes ^†gaue willingly vnto the people, to the Priests and to the Leuites: Hilkiah, and Zachariah, and Iehiel, rulers of the house of God, gaue vnto the Priests for the Passeouer-offerings, two thousand and sixe hundred small cattell, and three hundred oxen.

^35:9Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

^35:10So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king’s commandment.

^35:10So the seruice was prepared, and the Priests stood in their place, and the Leuites in their courses, according to the kings commandement.

^35:11And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

^35:11And they killed the Passeouer, and the Priestes sprinckled the blood from their handes, and the Leuites ^*flayed them.

^35:12And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

^35:12And they remooued the burnt offerings, that they might giue according to the diuisions of the families of the people, to offer vnto the LORD, as it is written in the booke of Moses: and so did they with the oxen.

^35:13And they ^*rosted the Passeouer with fire, according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in cauldrons, and in pannes, and ^†diuided them speedily among all the people.

^35:14And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

^35:14And afterward they made ready for themselues, and for the Priests: because the Priests the sonnes of Aaron were busied in offring of burnt offrings, and the fat vntill night: therefore the Leuites prepared for themselues, and for the Priests the sonnes of Aaron.

^35:15And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

^35:15And the singers the sonnes of Asaph, were in their ^†place according to the ^*commandement of Dauid, and Asaph, and Heman, and Ieduthun the kings Seer: and the Porters ^* waited at euery gate: they might not depart from their seruice; for their brethren the Leuites prepared for them.

^35:16So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

^35:16So all the seruice of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keepe the Passeouer, and to offer burnt offerings vpon the altar of the LORD, according to the commaundement of king Iosiah.

^35:17And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

^35:17And the children of Israel that were ^†present, kept the Passeouer at that time, and the feast of vnleauened bread seuen dayes.

^35:18And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

^35:18And there was no Passeouer like to that, kept in Israel, from the dayes of Samuel the Prophet: neither did all the Kings of Israel keepe such a Passeouer, as Iosiah kept, and the Priests and the Leuites, and all Iudah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

^35:19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
