1 H271 Ahaz H6242 was twenty H8141 years H1121 old H4427 [H8800] when he began to reign H4427 [H8804] , and he reigned H8337 H6240 sixteen H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem H6213 [H8804] : but he did H3477 not that which was right H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H1732 , like David H1 his father:

2 H3212 [H8799] For he walked in H1870 the ways H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8804] , and made H4541 also molten images H1168 for Baalim.

3 H6999 [H8689] Moreover he burnt incense H1516 in the valley H1121 of the son H2011 of Hinnom H1197 [H8686] , and burnt H1121 his children H784 in the fire H8441 , after the abominations H1471 of the heathen H3068 whom the LORD H3423 [H8689] had cast out H6440 before H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.

4 H2076 [H8762] He sacrificed H6999 [H8762] also and burnt incense H1116 in the high places H1389 , and on the hills H7488 , and under every green H6086 tree.

5 H3068 Therefore the LORD H430 his God H5414 [H8799] delivered H3027 him into the hand H4428 of the king H758 of Syria H5221 [H8686] ; and they smote H7617 [H8799] him, and carried away H1419 a great multitude H7633 of them captives H935 [H8686] , and brought H1834 them to Damascus H5414 [H8737] . And he was also delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the king H3478 of Israel H5221 [H8686] , who smote H1419 him with a great H4347 slaughter.

6 H6492 For Pekah H1121 the son H7425 of Remaliah H2026 [H8799] slew H3063 in Judah H3967 an hundred H6242 and twenty H505 thousand H259 in one H3117 day H2428 , who were all valiant H1121 men H5800 [H8800] ; because they had forsaken H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers.

7 H2147 And Zichri H1368 , a mighty man H669 of Ephraim H2026 [H8799] , slew H4641 Maaseiah H4428 the king's H1121 son H5840 , and Azrikam H5057 the governor H1004 of the house H511 , and Elkanah H4932 that was next H4428 to the king.

8 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H7617 [H8799] carried away captive H251 of their brethren H3967 two hundred H505 thousand H802 , women H1121 , sons H1323 , and daughters H962 [H8804] , and also took away H7227 much H7998 spoil H935 [H8686] from them, and brought H7998 the spoil H8111 to Samaria.

9 H5030 But a prophet H3068 of the LORD H8034 was there, whose name H5752 was Oded H3318 [H8799] : and he went out H6440 before H6635 the army H935 [H8802] that came H8111 to Samaria H559 [H8799] , and said H3068 to them, Behold, because the LORD H430 God H1 of your fathers H2534 was angry H3063 with Judah H5414 [H8804] , he hath delivered H3027 them into your hand H2026 [H8799] , and ye have slain H2197 them in a rage H5060 [H8689] that reacheth H8064 to heaven.

10 H559 [H8802] And now ye purpose H3533 [H8800] to bring into bondage H1121 for yourselves the children H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H5650 for male H8198 and female slaves H7535 : but are there not with you, even H819 with you, sins H3068 against the LORD H430 your God?

11 H8085 [H8798] Now hear H7725 [H8685] me therefore, and deliver H7633 the captives H7617 [H8804] again, which ye have taken captive H251 of your brethren H2740 : for the fierce H639 wrath H3068 of the LORD is upon you.

12 H582 Then certain H7218 of the heads H1121 of the children H669 of Ephraim H5838 , Azariah H1121 the son H3076 of Johanan H1296 , Berechiah H1121 the son H4919 of Meshillemoth H3169 , and Jehizkiah H1121 the son H7967 of Shallum H6021 , and Amasa H1121 the son H2311 of Hadlai H6965 [H8799] , stood up H935 [H8802] against them that came H6635 from the war,

13 H559 [H8799] And said H935 [H8686] to them, Ye shall not bring in H7633 the captives H819 here: for though we have offended H3068 against the LORD H559 [H8802] already, ye intend H3254 [H8687] to add H2403 more to our sins H819 and to our trespass H819 : for our trespass H7227 is great H2740 , and there is fierce H639 wrath H3478 against Israel.

14 H2502 [H8803] So the armed men H5800 [H8799] left H7633 the captives H961 and the spoil H6440 before H8269 the princes H6951 and all the congregation.

15 H582 And the men H5344 [H8738] who were mentioned H8034 by name H6965 [H8799] arose H2388 [H8686] , and took H7633 the captives H7998 , and with the spoil H3847 [H8689] clothed H4636 all that were naked H3847 [H8686] among them, and arrayed H5274 [H8686] them, and shod H398 [H8686] them, and gave them food H8248 [H8686] and drink H5480 [H8799] , and anointed H5095 [H8762] them, and carried H3782 [H8802] all the feeble H2543 of them upon donkeys H935 [H8686] , and brought H3405 them to Jericho H5892 , the city H8558 H5899 [H8677] of palm trees H681 , to H251 their brethren H7725 [H8799] : then they returned H8111 to Samaria.

16 H6256 At that time H4428 king H271 Ahaz H7971 [H8804] sent H4428 to the kings H804 of Assyria H5826 [H8800] to help him.

17 H130 For again the Edomites H935 [H8804] had come H5221 [H8686] and smitten H3063 Judah H7617 [H8799] , and carried away H7628 captives.

18 H6430 The Philistines H6584 [H8804] also had invaded H5892 the cities H8219 of the low country H5045 , and of the south H3063 of Judah H3920 [H8799] , and had taken H1053 Bethshemesh H357 , and Ajalon H1450 , and Gederoth H7755 , and Shocho H1323 with its villages H8553 , and Timnah H1323 with its villages H1579 , Gimzo H1323 also and its villages H3427 [H8799] : and they dwelt there.

19 H3068 For the LORD H3665 0 brought H3063 Judah H3665 [H8689] low H271 because of Ahaz H4428 king H3478 of Israel H6544 0 ; for he made H3063 Judah H6544 [H8689] naked H4604 , and greatly H4603 [H8800] transgressed H3068 against the LORD.

20 H8407 And Tilgathpilneser H4428 king H804 of Assyria H935 [H8799] came H6696 [H8799] to him, and distressed H2388 [H8804] him, but strengthened him not.

21 H271 For Ahaz H2505 [H8804] took away a portion H1004 from the house H3068 of the LORD H1004 , and from the house H4428 of the king H8269 , and of the princes H5414 [H8799] , and gave H4428 it to the king H804 of Assyria H5833 : but he helped him not.

22 H6256 And in the time H6887 [H8687] of his distress H4603 [H8800] he trespassed H3254 [H8686] yet more H3068 against the LORD H4428 : this is that king H271 Ahaz.

23 H2076 [H8799] For he sacrificed H430 to the gods H1834 of Damascus H5221 [H8688] , which smote H559 [H8799] him: and he said H430 , Because the gods H4428 of the kings H758 of Syria H5826 [H8688] help H2076 [H8762] them, therefore will I sacrifice H5826 [H8799] to them, that they may help H3782 [H8687] me. But they were the ruin H3478 of him, and of all Israel.

24 H271 And Ahaz H622 [H8799] gathered H3627 the vessels H1004 of the house H430 of God H7112 [H8762] , and cut in pieces H3627 the vessels H1004 of the house H430 of God H5462 [H8799] , and shut up H1817 the doors H1004 of the house H3068 of the LORD H6213 [H8799] , and he made H4196 for himself altars H6438 in every corner H3389 of Jerusalem.

25 H5892 And in every single city H3063 of Judah H6213 [H8804] he made H1116 high places H6999 [H8763] to burn incense H312 to other H430 gods H3707 [H8686] , and provoked to anger H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of his fathers.

26 H3499 Now the rest H1697 of his acts H1870 and of all his ways H7223 , first H314 and last H3789 [H8803] , behold, they are written H5612 in the book H4428 of the kings H3063 of Judah H3478 and Israel.

27 H271 And Ahaz H7901 [H8799] slept H1 with his fathers H6912 [H8799] , and they buried H5892 him in the city H3389 , even in Jerusalem H935 [H8689] : but they brought H6913 him not into the sepulchres H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel H3169 : and Hezekiah H1121 his son H4427 [H8799] reigned in his stead.
